Fragrance Maxing Guide - The Best Fragrances Period - No Brainer Picks

[lovemaxer]

First of all you are all idiots with dogshit noses. You don't choose a perfume by watching Jeremy Fragrance (faggot fragrance influencer) or some bullshit reddit or looksmax guide (except for this one).
Find a competent perfumer then choose fragrances from them that match your taste.

Here's how:
Step 1: Choose your master perfumer
I recommend Francois Demachy. Everyone else is retarded compared to him. Other choices include Oliver Cresp, Alberto Morillas, Christine Nagel, Francois Kurkdijian, Oliver Polge.

Francois Demachy Link
Jacques Polge Link
Christine Nagel Link

Step 2: Choose fragrance by master perfumer
Search by notes. Masculine fragrances MUST have amber or musk to be sexy.

Step 3: If you're low iq just choose a fragrance on my Fragrance Profile. They are all masterpieces (because all made by Francois Demachy and my impeccable taste)

Good choices, I love the Dior Homme line and DHI is my signature night cologne, and DHO my "classy" signature (e.g. when I go to conferences with a suit). Though I'm surprised you think BDC EDT is the best, it's pretty much the consensus of the fragrance community that EDP is the definitive version.

Mogger taste. EDT/EDP way better than parfum. EDP is almost as good too but EDT has a better drydown with wood dominanting amber. Homme 2020 is often compared to BDC EDT and Hermes TDH drydown. I dislike parfum and allure homme, thesour/sweet aromatic spice (tonka bean) ruins the balance and too fruity.

Bleu De Chanel EDT (Parfum EDP are okay but EDT is BEST)

The Initio perfume one is the only good one in your list.

The EDP concentration is the best for a perfume. Most EDP fragrances project for hours and they last long. EDTs on the other hand last only for a few hours. Extrait de Parfums or just Parfums on the other hand last over 12 hours but they don't project as much in the air because of the density. The more alcohol there is an a fragrance, the more it projects in the air which is why deodorants project even more than perfumes in the air but deodorants, eau de colognes, eau fraisches, after-shaves, and eau de toilettes last for short amount of times.

Buy an Amouage fragrance, they have the best longevity for an ok price (400-600 AUD for a 100 ml bottle of Eau de Parfum concentration).

Complete retard. Unironically thinks expensive is better. Initio is far from the best, Homme 2020 is #1 easily. EDTs often last longer than EDPs depending on the fragrance. EDP isn't necessarily better than EDC or parfum or Extrait. Citrus fragrances rarely last longer than 6h. Certain Ingredients banned at high concentrations (like oakmoss allergens) and only found in higher ratios in EDTs and colognes.
Even heard of fixatives and solvents, high alcohol doesn't necessarily mean more projection or longevity.

 

[bradpittshairline]

just get cdnim LE LOL

cfnim got me compliments from random girls in college and milfs

 

[lovemaxer]

Both are strong and high quality. Creed clones can never match because of captive musks from Firmenich.

CDNIM is a good fragrance esp for the money but Creed is better if u can afford it.

>makes a perfume guide
>doesn't realise perfumes are an unnecessary luxury item

Why do you think perfumers in their sane minds would use high quality ingredients in perfumes and sell them for less than a 100 dollars? Nobody does that. Expensive perfumes are better in most cases, especially if you care about the dry down of a fragrance and don't want a nasty, cheap and synthetic smelling perfume drying down on your skin/clothes.

Citrus fragrances rarely last long only if you buy a citrus from a designer brand. If you ever are bothered to spend your money on a citrus fragrance from the Italian Luxury brand Xerjoff, or a fragrance by Roja Parfums, you'll get a citrus fragrance that easily lasts 8 hours and longer because of the quality of the citrus note they use.

EDTs don't 'often' last longer than EDPs, even depending on the fragrance.
It's the total opposite. Usually EDPs last longer and only a few EDTs last longer than some low quality EDPs.

Opinion of Tom Ford Ombre Leather

Opinion of Tom Ford Ombre Leather

Good leather frag but i dislike leather dominant frags because they're polarizing, not mass appealing.
Smells like black top grain leather and amber
What kind of frag were u looking for? For something heavy I'd look at Homme Parfum

My fragrance king... What's your opinion on the Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'Homme fragrance?

My friend keeps recommending Maison Margiela but that's gay tiktok aesthetic shit.

Talked to my dad about perfumes and he wears an oud fragrance—from Maison Crivelli I think—and its pretty strong, musky, and has a slight scent of passionfruit or idk.

Maison Margiela is indeed gay shit except for Lazy Sunday (foid fragrance).
YSL La Nuit is a masterpiece but Bleu Electrique is better, ADG Profumo/Parfum fantastic too
Personally, don't like lavender or spice dominant fragrances because less aphrodisiac.

 

[john2]

Maison Crivelli

That's a good fragrance house. Hibiscus Mahajad is a good fragrance from this brand that you should try aampling.

Non-sensual fragrances are scams

 

[john2]

Non-sensual fragrances are scams

Everyone has different tastes in perfumery. If you're just trying to chase women and hope your fragrance would make the process of you impressing a woman easier, then just by le male or dior sauvage. But if you want to smell regal and luxurious, you buy a fragrance from Roja Parfums, or Amouage or Clive Christian (because they use quality ingredients, e.g., Amouage perfumes used real Ambergris gifted to the perfumers of the Amouage perfumes by the Sultan of Oman himself decades ago) and use it as your signature to make a statement. I think believing a perfume can make you get women is low IQ because looks triumph and looks are pretty much the only thing that matter. The only reasons why I like fragrances are because perfumery is an art, good fragrances are dopamine-inducing and because they have a huge impact on how you're perceived socially.

Clive christian is nuclear dogshit, low iq perfumers, ass longetivity and fake heritage. Roja and amouage mid. You're truly retarded believing scams like "Ambergris gifted by gods ass" makes a perfume better.


You're the type of dumbass to think a metal cap makes a fragrance last longer

Creed uses ambergris too but its the ambroxan and captive Firmenich alicyclic musks that make it a masterpiece.

"Believing a perfume can make you get women is low IQ" WRONG, scent is very important in mating which explains the need for sensual perfumers. Artisan Royal Windex isnt getting u pussy but vanilla ambroxan and helvetolide will. Women's preference for dominant male odour: effects of menstrual cycle and relationship status

The heritage is real, but the perfumes don’t last as long, that’s the only thing you’re right about.

If you believe anything synthetic mogs anything natural don’t then i’m not even going to bother arguing with you any further.

The heritage is real

Heritage is fake and meaningless in fragrances. Ambergris from my ass is the same as any other ambergris.

If you believe anything synthetic mogs anything natural

Even "Natural" fragrances are primarily aromachemicals. Naturals are unstable and the best fragrances use a mix of aromachemicals like ambroxan, hedione, dihydromyrcenol AND naturals.

You can’t afford a proper perfume

I have many expensive niche fragrances: Creed Aventus, Creed Original Vetiver, Creed Millisime Imperial, Intio Absolute Aphrodisiac, Initio Blessed Baraka, Frederic Malle POAL, Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur, 6.8 oz BR540, Bois'D Argent.

[LongForgotten]

Dior Homme Intense is easily 1 of the best frangrances I've ever smelled in my whole entire life. I advice everyone to try it, you won't regret. Especially during this cold season it's perfect.

 

[john2]

Creed Original Vetiver

A full bottle of this perfume is in my collection, this is one of the best fresh summer fragrances. Don't you think this is a good perfume? The longevity is meh, but the scent of Original Vetiver itself is good.

The perfumer matters not the brand.

The perfumer's aren't guaranteed to make masterpiece perfumes all the time. The brand matters too, perfumers who make a perfume for a brand have to respect that brand's signature DNA and make a variation on it. Amouage perfumes have that typical omani-luxury smell that the brand has always featured in it's perfumes, regardless of the different perfumer they hire for the creation of each of their fragrances. The perfumers aren't given full creativity while making perfumes for a brand, unless it's their own brand, like MFK.

Some brands, unlike Frederic Malle, have restrictions on what materials and ingredients should be used for the perfume, these brands have budgets and won't let a perfumer use the highest quality ingredients sometimes, especially if the perfumer is to make a perfume for a designer brand to keep the product affordable to the common-folk.

Speaking of great perfumers, you should consider buying (niche only) perfumes made by Roja Dove, Cecile Zarokian, Alberto Morilas and Christian Provenzano.

Niche perfumes including Roja have their place. But aren't magically better than good designer frags. Frederic Malle is great.
Perfumers budgets are limited, but rarely matters in $100+ fragrances.
One of my fave Niche's Initio Blessed Baraka by Alberto Morillas is heavenly.
But $15 Nautica Voyage By Maurice Roucel is fantastic regardless of price and the best selling fragrance on amazon
Comparatively Eternity Parfum (cheap fragrance also by Morillas) the skill is there but cheap ingredients and poor notes ruin it.


Francois Demachy is the best perfumer along with: Marice Roucel, Alberto Morillas, Christine Nagel, Dominique Ropion, Jean Herault, Francois Kurkdijian and Jacques and Oliver Polge.
Demachy makes technically perfect, mass-appealing fragrances while retaining "artistic" "interesting" and "creative" qualities. His "Dior Private Collection" fragrances are all masterpieces and he's given much more creativity.

Nautica Voyage By Maurice Roucel is $15 and the best selling cheap fragrance on amazon. But fantastic and not just for the price.

Original Vetiver is excellent because of vetiver + creed musk accord. (Helvetolide, Ambrettolide, Muscone). Most Creeds smell similar in the drydown. Longetivity is okay.

 

[lovemaxer]

I'll give you credit for Dior Homme and not listing Sauvage.

Sauvage is still fantastic and I have all variations and if u could only have a few fragrances it should be one of them along with Homme or Aventus.

 

[lovemaxer]

@john2 As I've started making my own fragrances. I analyze fragrances from a technical perspective.
Aventus is overpriced, but clones can't replace it due to several superb captive molecules.
As Oliver Creed said “The musk here smells so good it is already a fragrance in and of itself.” I concur.
The best fragrances now are Creed, Initio, Another 13, Office for Men, anything by Francois Demachy. Most niches are blatantly mediocre, overpriced and don't even use captives.

Are you a professional perfumer with your own brand?

Making fragrances is just a recent hobby of mine, got around 75 different ingredients from the site called perfumer’s apprentice.

Sandalwood and tuberose are probably the best fragrance notes, I have AmberXtreme in my collection of raw ingredients for making fragrances.

Isn’t ‘office for men’ a popular youtuber fragrance?

Idk about you, but Amouage fragrances have amazed me the most so far. Their fragrances are top quality in terms of longevity, strength and the quality of ingredients they use in their perfumes. The clive christian fragrances didn’t amaze as me as much as the Amouage fragrances when I sampled them at the mall, even though clive christian is a more expensive brand. Ik the perfumer matters more than the brand but so many perfumers have managed to keep the same DNA in all of the Amouage fragrances while bringing something new each time they release a fragrance for the brand. Boadicea the Victorious is another niche brand that’s super-high-end luxury, they have a 13000 AUD rose fragrance consisting Iranian rose and some other roses. Haven’t sampled any Boadicea the victorious perfumes yet though.

Is there any brand you trust for niche perfumes or is it just the perfumer you only care about?

Let's chat on telegram. Hobbyist with a strong chemistry background. I would avoid fragrance oils except for some complex/expensive accords like Orange blossom.

Office is Alberto Morillas combining Sauvage Aventus and Cool Water with Paradisone. It blends the best of designer mass-appeal and niche performance. I dislike Clive christian, naturals is no excuse for bad performance.

Amouage, Xerjoff good but Roja is dishonest. Niches I respect (because of the perfumers): Mizensir, Frederic Malle, Aaron Terence Hughes and Initio hires the best perfumers to make unique fragrances.

Aaron Terence Hughes is the best reviewer. Avoid most youtubers they only shill things with affiliate links.

Its not that perfumer is everything but perfume style (mass appeal, niche, floral, fresh) and perfumer matters way more than brand.
Extremely based for also making fragrances
