Why is a linear scent profile mentioned as a negative when it is literally a positive? Why would I want my fragrance to change? I want it to smell good from start to finish.

Trying out the FOMO Envy dupe. I haven't smelled the real thing, but this dupe reminds me of Opium PH's warm/spicy/creamy base combined with some 80s chypre facets. Not bad, but I wish it had the incense and ginger I see in the original's note breakdown.

I normally hate on Middle Eastern frags because they’re cheap clones; these two aren’t. They’re actual new fragrances, made by seasoned perfumers who can balance the newer aroma chemicals you almost never see outside the Middle East. I like them both.They both exhibit signs of being middle eastern though; both sweeter than they should be and quite "loud" but both surprisingly decent and interesting.

After wearing mainstream frag for 6 months I don't think I like the smell anymore. It's too on the nose. Any recs for something minimalist and more natural? I think I just want to smell light, pleasant and fresh. Like clean laundry or early morning in the forest.

Any frags that are like Megamare for the summer but different? By that I mean huge performance, very unusual scent profile yet quite pleasant and inoffensive, refreshing but not a typical freshie I have searched for weeks but only Megamare scratches the itch so far

just came back from a perfume making class. we did a quick hour of theory to learn about the structure of frags and to test individual oils/fragrances. the rest of the class was to make your own 50ml frag, about 15% concentration. i struggled to come up with the direction i wanted to make. initially i aimed to do a fresh and woody versatile frag. i ended up making a frag with a heavy base on olibanum, sandalwood, tobacco, oud, leather, some patchouli and oakmoss, iso E, galbanum and an ozonic note. it was essentially two accords, one fresh&airy that will be mostly present in the opening, and the other dark&earthy for the heart and base. my guiding line was to make a churchy scent in the forest. really excited to see how it matures in the next month. definitely a fun hobby i'll keep pursuing.

hey anons i was wondering if u guys could maybe help me find something for this fall/winter. i really like fresh scents like MFK aqua celestia cologne forte and clinique happy/happy heart 2014. i like the new estee lauder, but it’s really nothing to write home about. it’s the same fruity/oriental floral shit ive smelled a thousand times. for some more traditional seasonal scents, i like aromatics elixir, youth dew, and le male elixir. the first two are a bit matronly though. anyway, gimme an idea of what i could maybe sample. idc if the frag is masculine/feminine/unisex, im open to anything.

Anyone tested recent bottles of Unum Lavs? I find the performance lacking. It's either my skin chemistry or it's very diluted, after 2 hours it's very faint.

i am looking for some dark, earthy and offputting frags. things like Cuoium or something heavy on an earthy patchouli. i have enough crowd pleasers in my collection and i am looking for some unique frags that require an acquired taste to appreciate. something like The Black Knight from Bianchi or something that people will find polarizing. Any reccs?

Damn bro the drydown of PHI Une Rose de Kandahar is so insane. It's so fucking sexy. Holy shit I'm so nervous. My palms are sweating. My hands are shaking. If I give her this and she sprays it I will go insane. I'm literally gonna be a dad. Fighting a battle with my massive ego right now. You don't even understand the amount of confidence I have. I'm so nervous I wont be able to hold back...

I got a bottle of Gucci Guilty Absolute. First time I tried it it was a great woody leather. I usually have trouble with leather but this is unmistakeable. Trying it the second time it has a big synthetic smell a bit like acetone, not off-putting, it's alluring. It plays around with different notes but it's all a very masculine evening scent. You get cedar, smoky, leather. I get a bit of aromatic freshness that adds a peppery vibrancy. It's very airy in the middle and a dead ringer for Gucci PH1, clearly not the same fragrance between the top notes and the mid notes it has a brief interlude. Gucci PH1 is like an ancient wooden library, Absolute has the data disk version of it. There is patchouli in there, I know because I could smell the earthy patchouli on my shirt the next day. The patchouli also gives the fragrance a dark edge. I think the people who put Absolute on a pedestal are correct. It's a significant scent and you can see its influence in many things that came after like Purple Oud. It's brave, daring, and interesting. I could see it as a signature scent for someone whose life starts after sundown. The performance starts strong, everyone else smells it. It is a scent people will notice and like, it doesn't hide but it also doesn't scream, it purrs like an old engine. The bottle is very nice. The cap has a metal part on the outside. It sits very snug, I flung it twice taking it off. The detachable part of the cap is the top-most shape, not the whole black part. The font and logos are symmetrical on both side. The bottle feels and looks nice. I was surprised by the quality and how cool the bottle is. While it's an influential and good scent I wouldn't say it's a must have since there is so much competition in the masculine smoky segment. It kind of plays to the middle and just exists. What makes it easy to recommend is that while it is discontinued it's readily available and affordable. You can get 90ml for $70 any day of the week. That can't be beat.
