What are the best recent men’s designer fragrances that no one is wearing?
And what recently discontinued releases deserved a better fate?
[Unisex/women’s fragrances that men can pull off are fair game too]
This thread asks whether designer fragrances have been made obsolete by the...
Let's discuss petitgrain, how you use it, what type you like the most and what your favourite materials to support it are.
To me it's hard to think of petitgrain heavy center without vetiver. I think Haitian works best and I like to overdose it in comb with the acetate. Second thought is...
Hello. Does anyone have a suggestion for a pure or close to pure fragrance that offers ambergris and ambroxan as the only or main notes?
I am looking for something that smells similar to Louis Vuitton’s Pur Ambre, which the above two are the main notes.
Thanks in advance!
I have 3 samples but only want to buy one even though all are quite good.
1. Aventus Cologne
2. MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver
3. Roja Elysium
Tough call. Figured I'd ask some veterans of the niche game.
Guerlain were bashing out one L'Homme Ideal a year until covid.
There's 8 in total, all based around a gourmand almond accord - a surprising choice for a masculine fragrance. I'm not sure they all work, particularly some of the fresher ones, but then we all have our preferences.
Which ones do...
The best way and only way that works 100% of the time is to WEIGH your bottle
go to a website bulk seller or a wholesaler like Qogita and look at the weight your bottle is supposed to have
weight is the harder metric to replicate, and most often fakers don't bother matching the weight to the...
The SA at my local LV boutique gave me samples last fall. I totally forgot about them. I tested a few recently and really like (love) Imagination. The bottle itself is really nice too. $320 for 100ml bottle is steep though! You only live once, right? I can easily afford it, but it will be the...

My first favorite Honeysuckle was done by Sweet Earth (Coty) in the Solid Trios & Oils.
Original favorite Lilac? ... geez, I don't remember. Probably an Oil from the Body Shop in Berkeley ...?
It's tough to find a good soliflore these days and I've been craving those notes!
I was looking at...
Hello fragrance aficionados! I’d like your help. I’m not well versed with the house of Prada but do have some limited experience. I’ve owned Amber Pour Homme but finished it long ago. And I currently own Infusion de Vetiver (which is a great vetiver if you’re looking for soapy clean and...
In terms of my own revealed preference, I find myself enjoying not only Italian houses moreso than their French equivalents - Armani over Dior, Lorenzo Villoresi over Serge Lutens - but also preferring the Italian style, its notes, and its sensibilities as well.
Now, does this make the Italians...
I was looking at my own little wardrobe of fragrances this morning and reflecting on the fact that each fragrance belonged to a different house. This hasn't always been the case, as I've usually found myself enjoying several different scents from a single house (Tom Ford, James Heeley...
