Hobby What's your favorite fragrance/kind of fragrance?

[Myst]

I don't care if designer fragrance's are "NPC" but I really like Jean Paul Gaultier's Le male Le parfum, despite it's below average performance and projection (how long it lasts and how strong it is), the smell make's up for it. It's one of the best vanilla fragrance's of all time and in my opinion, the best fragrance in the Le male line alongside ultra male (elixir is way overhyped). I also enjoy woody fragrances, when I first heard of Dior Homme Intense I thought it'd be a woody masculine type of fragrance but man was I wrong. It smells very powdery and medicine like, I was repulsed by the smell when I first smelled it but I've kind of acquired a taste for it now, It's definitely for more mature noses. I'd like to someday get into niche fragrance houses like zoology but even tip of the iceberg niche fragrances like xerjoff or tom ford's oud put me off.

Interesting hobby. I've never used fragrances, I don't really have a use for them for me to justify buying them.

I'm too broke to afford buying them other than my JPG (Jean Paul Gaultier) le male le parfum but I've just smelled a lot of fragrances at stores.

You don't use fragrances when going out? I mean no fragrance for your face but still.

What are you trying to tell me? Are you making fun of me?

When I was practicing martial arts years ago, I was shamed twice for not wearing deodorant. That's why I use it.

I'm not shaming, the no fragrance for your face was just a statement but seriously man, up your hygiene if you haven't already. Mfs say its over when they won't even do the most basic softmaxxes.

Getting into fregnances is really expensive, i prefer using normal deodorants

Extremely overrated for the price imo, there are multiple clones very similar to it that are drastically cheaper.

I've only bought one fragrance and it was By The Fireplace by Maison Margiela. I really liked the smell of it but I lost it like two years ago. I was thinking of buying a new fragrance this year called Grand Soir by Maison Francis Kurkdijan. Tbh I don't really know which brands are good or bad I just want to buy it and try it out lol

Bakul (also spelled bakkul, maulsari, or bakula) is the flower of Mimusops elengi — the "Spanish cherry" tree — and it's one of India's classic night-blooming temple scents.


The smell is heavy and honeyed, denser than jasmine but less indolic, with a resinous warmth and an odd wintergreen-medicinal edge from methyl salicylate. It's a heart-to-base note, not a fresh top note. The dried flowers keep their scent for months, which is why people string them into garlands or tuck them into prayer books.


As a perfume it's sold as bakul attar, made the traditional Kannauj way: fresh flowers hydro-distilled by deg-bhapka with the vapor condensed directly into sandalwood oil, so the result reads as a soft floral sandalwood rather than a sharp floral. Flowering and distillation season runs April through July into mid-August. Modern producers also do CO2 and solvent extraction for a truer-to-flower absolute; most production is in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.


Culturally the tree stands at temple entrances and signifies love and devotion, and the attar shows up in ritual use.

Oh nice sounds lovely. I love incense, I feel like not many people enjoy them. I'll have to pick some up some day.
