Fragrance thread

Im assuming they dont do the sample or travel joints in there?

You can sample them there but I dont know if they had a sample to take home. But what you can do for a place that doesnt offer sample vial is spray what you like on yourself and walk with it for a few hours. That way you wont be fooled by the initial spray. I should have did that with what I just bought.

Or do your smell test in store and order test sample vials online.

What notes/accords do you like? Most people are super safe with their summer fragrance choices (aquatics or citrus based).

Me I like light shit ocean breeze type shit best way to explain but open to trying whatever

 

[RandomNegro]

I'm not the biggest fan of summer time scents, but a couple safe picks for someone just getting into the game is YSL Y, Bleu De Chanel and any Aqua Di Gio flanker.

Love me a good summer scent.

Ultra Zest, Ultra Male, Kryptomint is dope too. Artisan Pure as well.

Next time I'm in Tysons I'm gonna check the Arabian Oud spot out. I never really had the need cuz the owner at Parfums de France normally hooks me up with good deals, but I'll check it out.

I'm looking at my mom's Ring camera from my phone cuz I know I got cologne being delivered there today.

This mf threw the box like this:

The mailman did this shit to my sons cologne.

It’s impressing to see yall talk so in detail about colognes and perfumes. I don’t think I’ll ever be that deep in. I just want to smell good and I don’t want vanilla in it.

Pro tip: MFK offers 2ml sample discovery sets for $25. You can choose 4 scents to try out and when you purchase you get a $14 coupon on a full sized bottle. So if you interested in some Francis Kurkdjian, try it out

If you're on IG heavy and watch fragrance content you'll start to get offers for free samples. I've gotten samples from Kilian, Fredric Malle, Macy's, Maison Margeila, Tom Ford, and Estee Lauder.

What are you guys favorite notes on fragrances. For example do you guys find you lend more towards citrus notes or spicy notes. Hell if even floral notes because I believe looking at your favorite cologne and what notes that have in them can be the key to better understanding your taste in fragrances.

Here is the note breakdown of one my favorite fragrance

I can’t say for sure. I like fragrances for different times/events/occasions/seasons/situations.

Some days, I like wearing simple shit like Clinque Happy for Men or Orange Sanguine by Atelier Cologne. They are thoughtless, citrus based scents that are safe and non-offensive.

Some days I like the freshness/projection of a pineapple heavy fruity profile like Aventus.

Some days, i’m in my gourmand bag and want those dessert smelling fragrances.

It all depends.

And I thought me having 20 was too much lol

On average, for every 4-5 colognes I buy, I give away at least 2.

Until I get a house with a nice basement where I can have a dope set up like EQ Fragrance, I trip to keep my collection around 40-45.

I can't speak for everybody, but for me, I like collecting whatever hobby I'm into.

I always wore cologne, but when I officially got into it a few year ago, I became an enthusiast.

Same with everything else I collect, whether that be vinyls, guns, art or back in the day when I used to collect sneakers.

That’s the thing. I’m not a collector. I respect it tho.

I just get all the things I like.

That’s my thought process.

I want fragrances for diff feels/moods

I caught some W’s blind buying off the strength of YouTubers and I caught some L’s. Today I caught an L.

My bottle of Tabac Rose came in…. A lot of reviewers I fuck with was hyping it but it ain’t for me.

Tabac Rose has grown on me. Still pretty strong in the first 30 mins, but after that...

@Goldie you try cherry smoke by tom ford know you said tobacco is your favorite note. Its pretty solid nice blended to and this coming from a guy who does not like cherry.
