Men's Fragrances

You're basically buying generic junk at an inflated price for no reason. Believe it or not, I could say a lot worse, but if you're going to shell out the money they ask, you may as well get something interesting. Otherwise, just buy some Axe.

Dane, if you could as well sum your thoughts about Sartorial in few words, please.

...more fougere nonsense. I just don't understand, if someone wants to smell the way Burt Reynolds (used to) look(s), why they insist on paying over $100 to do so when you can go to the drugstore and get a bottle of Brut for less than $5!

If you want to splurge, a big 125ml bottle of Rive Gauche can be had for $20. If you want that style, minus the sleaze, again, Mouchoir de Monsieur, which I believe Guerlain himself called (along with Jicky), the only "true" fougere, all others only being suitable for truck drivers.

its dumb as hell imo , not a perfume but a gimmick . i totally get the desire to wanna smell weird and strange but a perfume should still be wearable and i cant imagine anyone wearin that and even if someone could stand it on themselves im certain ppl around them would be disgusted . i dont think it smells like cum , smells like metal . for me its the scent equivalent of scratching nails on a chalkboard real loud . im not even gonna suggest you sample it just for shits n giggles becos it aint even worth doin that . its smells disgusting and the sample will be a waste of money even if its just a few bucks . all those disgusted reviews there arent messin around . i posted a review and described what i did to the sample 1ml vial and someone from there emailed me and wasnt too pleased w/ my review and removed it . its not some interesting and strange perfume , its just a silly gimmick

It's technically a strong, salty floral with a heinous, aquatic, wet-dog note that nauseates even the strongest stomach. I admire them for releasing such an atrocity, but I never want to smell it again.

Wow, glad I posted here. Thanks dane, will try the Mouchoir de Monsieur and the Sycomore

+1 on the Sycomore
really nice scent, not too powerful, refreshing and slightly smoky

[the breaks]

Sycomore is pretty much my all time favourite. There's nothing I would change about it.

Completely random addiction, but I would love to find a scent that smells like the fizz from Dr. Brown's Cel-Rey soda. I secretly drink these constantly just for the smell.... In other words, soda+sugar+celery notes? Strange, but I love the smell and would wear it or mix it with other scents for various combos.

Any other new recommendations out there? I'm getting stagnant in my current collection....

[Dane]

Only thing I can think of with a celery note is Grain de Plaisir by Maitre Parfumeur.

[darkbydesign]

^^Thanks. I will check this out as I couldn't think of a single scent. It's a unique scent (and taste) but feels novel enough to want it more.....

[Ivans On High]

My 3 current favourite fragrances are PG Querelle, Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire and Cdg Man 2.

Does anyone (Dane) have any recommendations of other fragrances similar to the above?
