for years you've been talking to yourself and posting the same yestyear's instaslop du jour frags every day. toddler brained schizo, ever since you took over this general it went to shit.

No worries, it's just OP samefagging in his fuckup of a thread.

Good, nauseatingly boring, good but basic when so many other better patch frags exist, good but overpriced, good but even more overpriced.
SOTD: Ambre Nuit

Hey guy, Jeremy Fragrance here, the NUMBER 1 fragrance reviewer who follows the teachings of Jesus. I had a gay experience once, it lasted 10 years.

Anyways, you should try Office by Fragrance One.

>>18788995
Hit me with some based patchouli. Already have straight to heaven, orage, baie 19 all of which I really enjoy

>>18788997
Psychedelique, very rich and multifaceted, earthy, dark chocolate.
Coromandel, clean, very french, white chocolate (also overpriced).
Sticky Fingers, super thick and buttery, lots of orris.
Patchouly, warm, woody, a bit creamy, the most focused-on-patch of the four.

What am I in for?
I picked it because it was stated to be the gold standard in anise scents.

>>18788953
Don’t even bother responding to him. What are the different versions of lavender? It’s not something I sample often, note wise.

>>18788992
I can’t tell if you’re memeing or serious.
Regardless, they’re all good scents and are popular for a reason. None that I would consider my favorite but they’re solid fragrances ignoring the price

>>18789062
the Bogue webpage claims "lavender (4 different species)" but it's not specified further, fragrantica claims "Lavender, Lavender Extract, Wild Lavender and Blue Lavender" but what i really mean is that to me it smells like all different facets of lavender at the same time: lavender (flower), lavender (essential oil), the petals crushed between your fingers, a lavender field in scorching heat + probably other facets i don't even recognize
hopefully this makes sense to you

>>18789045
I need to try psychedelique. Coromandel gave me public bathroom vibes
>>18789067
I'm deadly serious give me some other recommendations

>>18789068
Ahh, yes, that does make sense. Thank you.

It’s very NPC core but that’s not important
Consider something by Ex Nihilo, I’d suggest Demon Dancer so you have something for warmer weather.
Ani by Nishane would probably be right up your alley.
Angels Share on the Rocks is also worth considering.
Try a decant of Black Phantom by Killian
>>18789101
Yeah pretty much

Very organic conversation, not in the usual samefagging style at all.

>>18789101
Also, better realize right now that you can't predict what a frag smells like based on the advertised notes and accords. Even detailed descriptions by reviewers won't give you an accurate picture since different people smell things differently.

>>18789118
I've tried everything you mentioned and they are all just ok to me. Shit I just realized I spent thousands on decants. I'm retarded

>>18789101
dont rush into buying new bottles. your taste changes the most when you first get started and theres a good likelihood you wont care about half the fragrances you "loved" a year down the road

>>18789101
Yes, then you hopefully realize there's nothing new under the sun, all fragrances are just rehashed slop of the same core categories invented a hundred years ago, like Fougère or chypre etc.
If some house release a new hit everyone will just copy it with some slight variation of notes so that everyone is following the same trend. Regardless of what the note list says it basically smells the same. Like reinventing coca cola.

There are for sure some beautiful and unique to discover and enjoy, but most of it is quite overrated and not worth spending thousands on. Not to mention the steadily increasing list of IFRA banned chemicals cucking great fragrances so they have to be reformulated into ghosts of their former selves.

Also try Incident Diplomatique, it is more of a bitter earthy patchouli, less warm than Psychedelique but I like it a little better.

SOTD It's nice but also vanilla slop. It made me realize how PdM is a vanilla slop house. The only scents I really like are Haltane, Greenly, and Castley.

I have a decant of this coming next. What is it like

>>18789284
Weird. The freshly printed magazine and suede leather comparisons are pretty accurate. Has the same mineral-metallic characteristic other Bisch fragrances like Le Sel and Bois Imperial have. I like this one more desu but not sure when I would ever wear it

>>18789299
I had a bois imperial sample a while ago. I remember thinking it smelled sharp and also had a motor oil quality about it. I think I liked it

>>18789284
curry sweat

>>18789312
Sweet

>>18789284
It’s definitely an oddball scent. I bought a 5ml decant and upgraded to a 30 ml, but the 30ml is enough for the rest of my life. After 10-15 ml the novelty wears off and it’s just kind of a weird scent that doesn’t really fit any occasion.

Don’t regret the 30 ml, but won’t be replacing, or even using all of it any time soon.

A 100 ml bottle would be an heirloom.

Have you decided what you'll wear on Christmas Eve?

What is the best lavender without heavy vanilla?

>>18789338
Obviously something sweet it's supposed to be a cozy family time.

>>18789399

>>18789338
probably one of these
>HdP Encens Roi
>Boclet Tobacco

>Rogue Tabac Vert
>Lutens Chergui

>>18789426
>Rogue Tabac Vert
Interesting choice. Not something I would typically think, why this?

>>18789463
no particular reason apart from it being a comfy frag

>>18789338
If i end up buying it, Tobacco Vanille
Otherwise probably Encrin de Fumée or Ambre Russe.
making me realize i don't really have a gourmand/warm spicy frag in my collection

>>18788953
been eyeing it for so long. i love lavender and i enjoy musky and animalic frags. can you tell me more about it?

>>18789496
smells really amateurish and off balance

its 14 degrees C outside. sunny. what should i put on?

Help me out. The thing that I like about Aventus is that it has a fresh lawn-like smell and the popular clones go more into the smoky side of that scent. What clones have a fresher take?

>>18789497
it really doesn't tho

So I just started my journey:
>read about frag on /frag/
>go to store
>test it
>love it
>buy it
>wear it
>love it
>read of another frag
>go to store
>test it
>love it

WHEN DOES THIS END??? It's like an addiction. Like I want nothing more than buy another frag.

It doesn't, welcome to the club.

is fragrance hobby for low iq people? i see a lot of black people who are into fragrances and i dont want to be associated with them :(

>>18789516
I’m a priest, so Avignon

It’s the polar ends of the bell curve, the super dumb and the intelligent. The normies just buy a singular fragrance and enjoy it.

>>18789541
The second paragraph was for >>18789530

>>18789530
it can be since its another way they can be loud and announce their presence

>>18789530
Caring about fragrance as an extension of fashion and personal style is respectable. Being a fragrance collector who goes into credit card debt to get the rush of spending makes you gigalow IQ

>>18789530
I don't know but spending $350 on Baccarat Rogue 540 so a girl can *maybe* compliment you definitely is.

There does seem to be a lot of weird or "crusty" people in this hobby. Just look at the average fragrance Youtuber or content creator.
Jeremy was pretty much the only one with good genetics, and even he went complete schizo mode.

I think it also depends on what your underlying reasons for sniffing are. If you're the kind of fraghead that is obsessed with getting "MUH COMPLIMENTZ" or thinking fragrances will compensate for your balding/fatness, that probably lands you in the "low IQ" category. If you just sniff things for your own enjoyment and don't care much about what others think, I'd argue it's slightly better.
