I be scared as shyt to layer fragrances

feel like its gonna be to much. how do yall go about it?

If you gotta be someplace by 5, test it out in the morning on your forearm. This way you can check it in a couple hours.

I'm not a big fan of layering though.

Reddit is kinda all over the board on soapy - but L'Homme and Acqua di Parma get a lot of mentions.

Others
If you want to keep it really real, listen to this dude. He's fully committed. Elevated...maybe downgraded?



The homie Sebastian always has something to say


And this gets a lot of love, and has a cool name, imo


Appreciate it.
I don't think soapy, fresh scents are your thing but you always give fair opinions.

Why am I seeing so many Zara fragrances on Parfumo and other websites?

Are they really making colognes worth trying? I kinda feel like this is just cheap shyt so it's highly accessible across all their stores.

Let me know if I'm wrong though.
Zara? Waste of money.

They don't cost much, but have a poor longevity. It's the stuff you spray when you go to the mall or somewhere else for a hour or two. That's about it.

I'd rather just look at discounters and grab something from mid range that gets sold dirt cheap sometimes.

This post inspired me to look into this as I am looking to get into colognes without breaking the bank. People insist the quality is not compromised despite the low price, so I copped a couple bottles that are on the way now.

All from Lattafa. Parenthesis is what it's supposed to emulate.

Eternal Oud (MDK Grand Soir)

Asad (Dior Sauvage Elixir)

Khamrah (Killian Angels Share)

Oud for Glory (Oud for Greatness)

Qaed Al Fursan(the one you posted, not sure what its a clone of)

Excited to see! Thanks for the gem.
That Oud for Glory became an instant hit for me. Its probably one of the few colognes i love smelling on myself and that others compliment as well. Usually the colognes i personally love dont get much compliments. But this one is for sure a beast

Really fukkin' with this Une Rose sample by Obvious. Kinda confused by a lot of mfs leaning toward it being for women with it being unisex. Shyt ain't even all that sweet or powdery dominant fr. Lowkey, the rose might be the faintest note of em all in this bih ironically. Shyt make me really wanna see what they did with that Pistache edp
About to blind buy Lattafa Amethyst as my rose scent. Will see how it turns out

I bought Amethyst when it was hot outside and I wore it the day it arrived. It smelled awful! I put it away and for some reason went back to it a couple months later. It smells amazing! The rose isn't too loud, you get some nice oud, and women love the scent!
Buy it, Breh; just let it macerate for a minute.

I layer multiple fragrances at a time (oils, perfumes, shea butter, lotions).
I don't give a fukk about mafukkas that call themselves fragheads and them rules they follow.

The shyt smells fire on me and I get mad compliments.



They all wear the same shyt smelling like each other.

That depends on the particular perfume cause each 1 has its own quality (projection, lasting time, etc.)

There is no fragrance that I'm just doing 2 or 3 sprays tho. :dead: Nobody gone smell that small amount.

I also place the majority of sprays on my clothes instead of my body cause that shyt don't last on body long enough in comparison to clothes.

I might spray 1 fragrance on my shirt/sweater, etc and another on the coat I'm wearing.

Or

Spray 1 fragrance on the collar of my shirt and a different 1 on the bottom of the shirt.


Or

Spray the multiple fragrances on the same spot.


I save spraying the body more when I know I'm smashing a chick later.

I use oils, scented shea butter, scented lotions for the body and mostly spray fragrances on my clothes.
