Fragrance thread

Also this site looks a gem, its in Europe but the fact its so cheap would probably still make it alot cheaper than buying from the US...

Ive not used them yet but apparently its legit (though check it for yourselves) and run by some enthusiasts as a hobby...



(not .co.uk which is a different company)

They also have a decant site too...


Some reviews...






 
Yo, Ive been smelling the Amber Cologne for the last few hours now since its been drying down and its fckn gorgeous, it just keeps growing and growing on me and I cant stop smelling the tester strip...

Its defo floral which is something I would tend to avoid but its not a normal floral scent, its also really fresh, citrusy and exotic too... I think its grabbed me because the florals used are different to what you would typically find in a 'floral' fragrance, such as the frangipani and sambac jasmine (dont even know what they are)...

This is defo a winner...
 
Been a while since I reached for Chrome Extreme but I’m reminded why it was my favorite at one point
 
Just a heads up guys and girls...

The chick at the department store sales counter today told me that Acqua di Parma's Blu line is being rebottled into different sizes (adding 30mls etc) so the whole line was 50% of and they were even adding an extra 15% off on top of that!!! Also a few of the Signature line fragrances are being discontinued too, so same goes for them...

So if youre interested in getting any Acqua Di Parma joints now is probably the best time...
 
I wish we could find out the reasoning behind these price increases...

Pure greed, I think fragrance is getting like sneakers scene and limited the vinyl releases... Until recently I never realised how big the influencer scene was in fragrance, just filled with shills and YouTubers basically being paid advertisers for brands...

Seems all the houses are getting bought up under the same few umbrellas too which doesnt help, brands like L'Oreal and LVMH can then get with the few other whales and basically dictate and fix the prices...

Surely theres gotta be a big bust soon??? People cant afford to be paying $300/£300+ for 50Ml or if youre lucky 100Ml of perfume, thats worse than it was 10years... Its a joke...
 
Like never in all my years in the Fragcomm have clones been as poppin or as embraced as they are now. People are tired of paying exorbitant prices and not getting what they feel is their money's worth. Favorites getting disco'd just to be reintroduced with a different bottle less performance and a higher price because it's "new", Chanel just upped the prices on all frags, Armani released a $200 fragrance(big bottle) with a leaky cap, the Aventus you bought last year smells different and lasts longer than the one you bought this year. This is why Dior Sauvage has stayed on top for as long as it has. It's basically the Iphone of the fragrance world. It just works

I said this last year in October
 
Couple pick ups arrived this week, took the plunge on the Bortnikoff 'Amber Cologne', gonna have to use this juice sparingly... Lovely packaging though, the metal cap weighs a ton...

Also picked up 'Eau Sauvage', a classic masculine barbershop fragrance...

It got a discount because I bought a sample set first, after emailing them I got it for $185 shipped think full price is $225 for 50ml and free shipping...

I highly recommend testing out their stuff before buying though, because they specialise in real eastern ouds and that sh!t is STANKY and not for me, this isnt really an oud joint though, its in the background but mainly an exotic, floral scent... Its fckn gorgeous but would not advise blind buying...

 
Creeds newest releases...Delphinus sounds right up my alley 😩

Creed has unveiled Centaurus and Delphinus as its two most recent offerings. Both scents are part of a new collection called The Amber Universe. This lineup will be based around various forms of amber while offering unique and interesting twists.

centaurus creed 2024


Creed Centaurus:​


Fragrance Notes:​

Smoky Tobacco, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Jasmine, Heliotrope, Geranium, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Ambroxan, Benzoin, Tolu Balsam, and Bourbon Vanilla.

Centaurus embodies an elegance that surpasses time itself. A fiery mélange of cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper give warmth to smoky tobacco supported by patchouli and sacred sandalwood. A luxurious floral heart of heliotrope and jasmine adds depth to a resinous base of benzoin and tolu balsam accented by the richness of bourbon vanilla.

Inspired by the largest constellation in the universe, Centaurus pierces through the night sky to show its expansive reach. As the centaur inspired constellation with a spear at the ready, Centaurus shows it domain over the cosmos.

Centaurus comes in a ruby red bottle with the Creed crown printed on the front with the fragrance name. The cap is golden in color and matches the text on the bottle.

Delphinus br creed

Creed Delphinus:​

Fragrance Notes:​

Incense, Iris, and Bourbon Vanilla.
Delphinus provides an interesting twist on a spicy incense fragrance with precious iris found throughout. A touch of leathery bourbon vanilla binds the scent together to create the feeling of being under a nighttime sky full of sparkling stars.

Inspired by a constellation that resembles a dolphin, Delphinus is bathed in the scent of the stars. Offering an intriguing look into the beauty of orris while tantalizing it with precious resins and velvety vanilla.

Delphinus comes housed in a sunset orange bottle with a golden cap. The text along with the Creed crown are also printed on the face of the bottle in luxurious golden hues.

Wow, they only just dropped 'Queen Of Silk' few months ago... Hope they give out free samples again!!!

Heard the phrase, but don't really know what it means. What's a barber shop fragrance?
