>D&G The One EDP for nights
>handful of random impulse buy cheapies I don't really count
I really liked a sample of Green Irish Tweed I tried, but I also just bought that bottle of Guerlain Vetiver and I feel like they'd be redundant for warm weather. I prefer to have just one "good" frag per occasion/season, but should I just order it anyway?

I think it's important to have at least one or two options for all occasions, but once you've got those bases covered, then you can expand your collection as you see fit.

Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum

alternatively, the original Le Male. It's been watered down over the years that it's basically just a really nice barbershop frag with a little extra mint in the opening and a little extra vanilla in the base.

Very Decent choice.
I like it better than the original Scandal. It's a little less sweet and a little woodier. The geranium can give it a coconut/sunscreen scent in the opening, but after that, it's rich and dark without the syrupy caramel of the original.

It is insanely strong, though. One or two sprays and everyone will love how you smell. Three or more sprays and everyone will hate you for choking everyone out.

In any case you shouldn't be blind buying bottles right away. Order samples first.

The next meme pair in line is Terre d'Hermes and Encre Noire. EN is not a "just smells good" kind of fragrance though, consult >>18362669 and reviews on Fragrantica.

I personally love both of these but I would never recommend anyone blind buy either. These aren't even "just try it out at the store" fragrances. You should buy a decant to see if you can actually live with them.

It's hard to remember sometimes that a huge number of fragrance collectors are neets who literally never leave their homes.
They've forgotten that having real friends is actually really nice. Being considerate of them and making them happy makes you happy too.

Heritage smells very 1980s, but is otherwise excellent. L'Instant smells more modern. They're both great, but they're too different to compare head to head.

Fragrances that are said to be suited for the cold seem to get categorized as evening scents, and vice versa. I don't see many winter/daytime scents or summer/evening scents. The significance of the whole season-biased fragrance thing seems kind of overstated.

My favourite fragrance is Nicolai's New York Intense, but it is too complex and rich for me to wear on a daily basis.

What are similar-ish frags that lean in the same direction but are a bit less formal and perhaps also cheaper?
Tried Lalique Homme and Caron 3e Homme but both just seems like worse versions of NYI.
Maybe some 80s style aromatic fougere that leans a bit greener instead of NYI's full amber?

If you're looking for those 80s Wall Street type power scents, not necessarily fougeres, you can try the following (though they won't be as powerful as 40 years ago due to reformulations):
- Antonio Puig Quorum
- Calvin Klein Obsession
- Pierre Balmain Monsieur
- Aramis New West
- Versace L'Homme
- Chanel Antaeus

There's tons more but these could point you towards something you like.

Very office safe and inoffensive. Its in the same vein as Platinum but much softer and smoother. Just citrus up top, without the rosemary and lavender sharpness. On the bottom it's a very mild tobacco-tonka-cedar. I will not replace it when it's gone

Gourmand/Caramel & Floral. It's fine, enjoyable, but generally simple and linear. Fits in with the PdM brand, and just like the others overpriced by 100%. If you get it around $150 I think that's fair. 160-180 is getting steep. any more than that is too much. If you buy it at retail you're a sucker.

If you are not familiar with fragrances they will seem fine, but, if you compare them to the original compositions they come off extremely synthetic and unbalanced. Like listening to a song through a phone speaker vs listening to it on studio headphones.

>How wearable is it for men though? Have you tried the EDT version?
It's totally wearable for men. It doesn't really have any overly feminine notes aside from a really juicy-smelling peach opening, but that doesn't last long.
After that it's a really rich oakmoss with some spices and woods.

There's a caveat that some people will think it smells feminine because their grandmothers will have worn it or a chypre that smells like it. Those are usually older people, though. People in their 20s, their grandmothers will have worn fragrances from the 1970s.

A couple threads ago, I remember someone saying that it's so old at this point that it's past smelling dated.

I've not tried the EdT, but I've heard it's excellent. I've tried the extrait and it's rocket fuel. Way too strong.

It’s pretty similar for me, closest is 2H away. Never been to any brands specific fragrance boutique, and I hope that they would be more readily open to giving away samples, but there’s no guarantee so I’m not too keen on driving just to find out. Besides, I’m not so curious that I really want to find out, Antaeus and Egoiste would be the only things I end up sampling.

>>18363709
That was just recently released, it’s just a limited edition bottle of the standard Le Beau. The same way you can find a 2024, 2023, and 2022 “Pride” edition of Le Male.

>>18363740
I’ve only tried the modern version, and to my nose it was fairly green, but after an hour or so it really smelled like dead, dried plant matter. It wasn’t great, but by no means was it offensive.
In other words, it smells like something from a bygone era that they’re trying to maintain for posterity’s sake.

I just tried it a couple days ago. The 2010 version of course. It's good, it smells like you would expect an old timey fougere to smell. The only thing I didn't like was a weird "body odor" note I was picking up from it. It smelled like sweat underneath all the aromatics, and I had just showered. It's cool to try for the history behind it but I wouldn't get a full bottle.

>>18363750

Chanel is trying to pivot back into the luxury space.
Like many companies that try to move downmarket, they discover that the stench of poors hurts the brand's perception with the people who actually spend real money.

So they give the people some generic slop and keep the good stuff away from people who can't manage to travel further than their local Sephora.

just sprayed on my hand as a reminder. Deep rich plum note with an initially powdery smell that clears up within 10 minutes into an airy almond+plum. Not sweet at all, but heavily spiced which gives it an almost sweet approach. Very French in terms of soft landing and the balance between top notes and spices.

Very possible. I’ve looked at multiple department stores, and the highest end one available to me is a Nordstrom which has their own Chanel… ‘structure’ inside (not just a counter or booth) and they said it was a boutique exclusive.

Fragrance is also just not as big a part of American culture like it is over in Europe, so it would make sense that older fragrances don’t get widely distributed, they’d likely just collect dust.

Guerlain is available from Boots' website, though I've never seen it in store. Other online retailers like Notino stock them too.
Big department stores like Selfridges or Harrods in London stock Guerlain.
Also the duty free at the airport has a big Guerlain section, but obviously you need to be boarding a plane to go there.

The only Guerlains I've ever seen in an American department store is Shalimar and Mon Guerlain.

They have boutiques in the US, though. The one in Las Vegas in the Bellagio is really nice. The last time I was there my wife and I spent about an hour chitchatting with him about fragrances. (It was in the middle of the day and there was no one else in the store; he was bored out of his mind.)
We ended up leaving with about 100mL total in samples of just about everything.

>Oh, if you like the carnation in Caron's Bellodgia then you should try Après l'Ondée. This is from 1906. This is the extrait, but here, you might also like the eau de toilette. ...Are you gonna want a bag for all of these?

I ended up buying a bottle of Mouchoir de Monsieur because I'd never seen it anywhere.

Maybe the cream/oil based lotions and deoderants just aren't as good at articulating the essential oils as perfume is? I mean, there ARE deodorant and candle versions of many different perfumes, but they don't smell nearly as good. I remember trying out a Drakkar Noir body spray deoderant and it was basically just Axe.
