I've noticed that females with a scent trail - they spray the hell out of themselves

Neck, Chest, Arms, Legs, Ankles...

If I'm just lounging/working from home - I tend to go heavy - just so I can use these joints up.

Out and about?
  • Bare Chest *2
  • Under Shirt*1
You're right about women but are women really buying perfumes like that?
They're probably using those body sprays from the little bin at the cash register of Macy's Backstage or whatever.
Those perfumes aint strong like that, LOL

Maybe we just have to make that mistake to know where the line is. Screw it, spray 7 times. Offend someone? Alright, now you know the limit is 6 sprays, haha

They're at least 60% of the market last time I checked.

They also buy "body mist", "potpourri", different scented soaps and bath oils, different scented lotions and hair products...

I gotta be around a female a long time to know what she actually smells like, :russ:

Got my Parfums Vintage package today. (Yo, I ordered Pineapple Intense, and them brehs ain't lying...smell it through the package)

Starting out with Imbue - their knock off of Gucci II Pour Homme

BRUH, this brings me BACK!

My nose is more sophisticated, and I don't think if this was a new release I'd fox with it, but DAMN.

Got me smelling like the old Kanye

Yeah see I think that's the thing.
My ex wife would just spray on various bodymists and use scented lotions and shyt.

So I guess women are the majority of the fragrance market, depending on how it is defined.
But the girls I've been with weren't really going to the mall to buy 2, 3, 4 perfumes.

They'd buy a shyt ton of fukkin nail polish and moisturizers though.
How many eye serums does a bytch even need?

:mjtf:

No, they really do buy more bottles of juice, on top of everything else fragrance related.

End-user Insights

The women end-user segment accounted for the largest share of more than 62.85% in 2022. It is observed that women in the U.S. purchase a new perfume as often as once a month, in comparison to men who buy it on an average of 1-2 times per year. As per a survey, around 41% of the females in the U.S. use perfumes every day as compared to men. In the U.K., women pay more for fragrances than men, wherein female perfumes cost an average of about 6p more per ml compared to male fragrances of the same brands. Perfume sales are expected to rise among women irrespective of its high price points, as they consider it to be an essential part of personal care.


It'd be interesting to see what would happen if a Man put this much effort into "personal care"
  • Hair
  • Skin Care - moisturizer, exfoliation, sunscreen...
  • Nail care
  • Fragrance
  • Diet
  • Exercise
  • style and fashion
  • "self care"
Women focus on the face, where man depending on the situation can focus on the body...

SOTD-Eight & Bob-Egypt (great fougère)

This came on yesterday. Found it for a steal on Ebay and really nice.

Reminds me of Percival a little bit but way more staying power. Also has a peach, lavender, and earthy twist. The dry down is magnificent and you get the woods, patchouli and musk.

* Wore this today. I like this. This shyt got 8000 notes and you don't smell none of those. Even the leather in this doesn't smell like leather to me. This smells like plastic and I like weird shyt like that tho. That's literally all it smells like to me. It's kinda strong too.

I just get a sterilized plastic.:manny: Like it tho.
Look like they overdid it and lost all the note distinctions in the blend

Been hearing nothing but excellence about this one right here. A 1 of 1 don dadda type of scent. I've seen reviews saying it's the best ever. Thinking about getting my hands on it.

Yeah I've read so much about how good Nefs is, but I couldn't find decants of it -- or at least I couldn't find decants at a reasonable price. Scentsplit has it for $33 for a 2ml. Screw that noise.

I'm likely not going to pursue that. It's like the hype around God of Fire -- I'm sure it's good. But it's so expensive and usually difficult to find.
Ok well maybe not God of Fire so much. But you know what I mean... (insert hyped, rare, expensive frag here)
