SOTD: YSL la nuit l'homme

first time actually trying it on skin with no other colognes interfering
all i must say is that i dont think its noticeable unless you put 3-4sprays on, up close its smells amazing but i dont think it has a good range..

kinda weak when i put it on, hardly even noticed it, but as its drying down its becoming more noticeable
oh and hate how all Sales associates always ignore the nice fragrances like a*men, and givenchey and push you towards polo and hugoboss

*polo green broke my sense of smell* i suggest you dont try it, extremely strong, may make eyes watery and stick on you for the rest of the day


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Nothing wrong with polo bro. And la nuit projects like a mofo.

[Dreyth]

any other niches houses that i should check out? I feel like i dont know about enough.

have checked out:
creed
bond no 9
surge letens
guerlain
by kilian
tom ford private blend

know about, but havent checked:
xerjoff
acqua di parma

seems like a really short list to me considering how many designer frags i know of.

[Burzan]

Any brahs with a wife/gf I would suggest checking out Jimmy Choo parfum. Bought my wife the 3.3 gift set and she loves it.

Will test with my girl next time we are out, thx

Problem is my girl is spoiled by expensive frags now haha. I got her tons of creed and kilian frags to test. She settled and now her two fav scents are By Kilian Love and Liasions Dangereses

[Arubenstein]

so can anyone tell me what's good to try from kilian besides STH? I'm able to choose 3 more samples from Aedes so im turning to the CC to help me pick em

just tried the green polo, and was very strong made my eyes water(srs)

and as the la unit 'l'homme is starting to dry i can smell it very nicely without going close where i sprayed it

Frapin, MDCI, Amouge, Bois 1920, Cereus, L’Artisan Parfumeur, Odin, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, TF Private Blend

Bamboo harmony. Haven't tried it, but back to black. I didn't care for prelude to love.

amber oud

didnt like rose oud much. amber oud is pretty damn good. not sure if i like it better than straight to heaven but its close. they are definitely similar.... by kilian has his own style. you know how after smelling a lot of creeds you can kinda pick out their signature smell? same with kilian. its different than other stuff... VERY smooth

Try polo blue. It's my favorite summer frag. Black and double black are nice.

[snub115]

Shoutout to TP for pointing me to lucky scent, got my Penhaligons Opus 1870 sample man this stuff is very formal, clean, and woody

I wish i could recognize the notes they mention but i can see this as a very non offensive scent for winter/fall. It smells a bit minty but thats what i get with the opening with a hint of honey. Will definitely be buying this in the new year, ill let you guys know how the Quercues one smells like in a bit.

[the_Yush]

How many ml of each do they give you?

[Dreyth]

Amouage
Nassamato
Frapin


I'm currently trying to get into Montale

forgot to add that ive smeleld amouage and montale to the list.


tbh they both disappointed me, but i only tested them on cards after already have 4 scents on backs for hands and wrists. gotta them them their own day sooner or later.



i think my next frag will be Creed Royal Oud. Best opening that I know of. So fukking masculine. Can get it for 153 on fragrance net but its only 75mL, PHUCK. will save for special occasions. i wished it lasted longer though... maybe i'll keep testing it. will def only wear it on my absolute best looking days.

or maybe instead of testing it on my wrist i'll put two sprays on my throat and 4 hours later see what my friends think of it.

My dad wore polo green when I was a little kid. I used to always secretly take some and spray myself when I was like five. Manliest smelling 5 year old on the block haha.

Happy birthday to everybody in this thread lol. Seems like everybody's b-day is this month.

Happy b-day brah and you too love pirate

these come to mind

Tauer, Le Labo, Amouage, Frédéric Malle and Montale (all fairly pricey though)

Try looking into Polo Modern Reserve (basically the same as Green but much easier to wear). Although it's more of a mature/classy scent just like Chanel Antaeus.

[Dreyth]

about royal oud... from fragrantica:

"it smells exactly like l'artisan parfumeur tea for two"

gotta check that out on my way home today!

[nikonD70s]

anyone know a legit source for authentic creed GIT for a great price?

i found a few on ebay for cheap. tempted to bid. but i done my research and apparently there are tons of fakes out there. dont wanna pay half price to only find out its the knock off. so any brahs knows anywhere that sells the authentic ones for a good price?

[Love Pirate]

Anyone else know this feel of growing out of all the $50 work slacks I got a few months ago because my thighs and butt are getting too big from squats?

[Burzan]

Speaking of Nasomatto. I never hear any talk about this house even though Black Afgano is super hyped elsewhere.

I have tested most:
Black Afgano
Pardon
Hindu Grass
Absinthe
Duro

Pardon being my fav and I've heard it compared to LIDGE (dry down similarities) LIDGE fans check it out
Black Afgano is the other one I like but hard to find a time to wear it.

enter ur emailk and youll get a 20% off coupon. free shipping too, if ur order is 70 bucks or more. i got creed original santal for 128... well 138 cuz there was tax. i shoulda ordered to my cousins house in NJ instead of my place in NY to avoid NY state tax lol.

ha... back when i was squatting 405x4 (see sig) it was ridiculous. i actually STILL never wear work slacks. i look fukking ridiculous in them. thank goodness im doing computer science so most jobs i apply for are okay with casual work clothes.

[Skyline89]

Hermes sample already came in! I got both of what I requested.

[myownprison89]

Looking forward to checking the mail after work now!

[boyharvey]

Any one smelled this?

ACQUA-DI-PARMA
Blu Mediterraneo Mandorlo Di Sicilia

I'm thinking of having my wife get it for me or buying myself for Christmas. Wondering about longevity, smelled amazing when I tested it but i didn't spray it on myself.

[Akos1712]

Strong coincidence, my birthday is december 17th.....

dafuq brah, mine is 17th also
sound like winter born kids have great appreciation for fragrance.

[the_Yush]

CK and Hermes samples are in.

The thing on the right plugs into you USB port and slowly "defuses" the scent. Very interesting idea.
