...Hi, I agree with the suggestions! I understand you are speaking in Indian Rupee, so 2500 INR = 27€, so at this price range Voyage Eau de Toilette seems a fair proposal. Explorer to me is not that fresh/aquatic (and it has the pineapple note I can't bear) but is nice. What do you think of Tommy Cologne (I don't know why it is cologne here, is it an edt?)? I only tested in shops, but sometimes you can find a bottle at that price range too ? To me it seems fresh too.

...As smokey perfumes I really like Rien , Broken Theories (you feel like you are really _in_ the fireplace! Like a phoenix or something ), Valparaiso .(I have also my eyes on Shaghaf Oud Abyad which does include the notes you mention. But I didn't test it)Thanks all for your enticing suggestions!

...The picture is trimmed in a strange way. Anyhoo, I do watch the suggestions, including my numerous samples and travel sizes, but my final decision is based on the actual weather at my window and my mood. As much as i love Light Blue Sun (can't catch it with the #) and Y Eau Fraîche (same thing), today I am wearing Dior Homme Sport (2021) (ranked #5 in the assistant).We have a very rainy summer here in Belgium (as in Germany and UK I guess), in contrast to other areas in the Northern hemisphere where it seems to be so extremely hot. So I wear some "louder" fragrance when it is raining, which is not quite in line with the suggestions of the assistant.

...For as Sunday Afternoon as I log into Parfumo:

...I agree with your remarks about sexists terms. I didn't know about the "man tamer" 🙂. "Must-have" I didn't think about this one, but yes it is also stupid.Yes "crowd pleaser" or "mass appealing" is a bit elitarian ...And @Ringtale : old man/lady, grand pa and so on. In fact I love old perfumes and it has also the reverse effect of getting me interested in. (I was in a store a few days ago, just musing around while waiting for my train. I got caught by shop assistant: "What are you looking for? Which perfume do you like?- [I couldn't answer : "well , I am just waiting for my train and enjoying testing perfumes meanwhile", so I played it safe:] Old ones.- Like what?- Well, old Guerlain's?- Mmh which one?- Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette (which just caught my eye on the shelf)- Oh that old ☹️"Which might mean that I appear to young to love them 😉.)

...Nicolas78Dunhill for Men Cologne "Alt-Innsbruck - Eau de Cologne | Proderma" Versace L'Homme Eau de Toilette Bentley for Men Intense Richard James Savile Row 1881 pour Homme (2005) Eau de Toilette Oh yes Bentley for Men Intense for sure!

...Thanks for the topic and your suggestions!My favorite areThe Dreamer Eau de Toilette The Encre Noire line : Encre Noire Eau de Toilette Encre Noire Sport Encre Noire à L'Extrême One a bit less known maybe: Lagerfeld Classic Eau de Toilette I liked Seductive Homme (but longevity was bad) and Voyage Eau de Toilette (but I got a bit bored). I didn't feel I'll finish the big bottles and swapped them away. I might consider rebuying a half bottle or a travel size at some point (yes it's a bit silly). It's a bit the same with Encre Noire Eau de Toilette actually. I swapped my bottle for a back-up bottle of Encre Noire Sport as my bottle of Sport is getting quite low by now. I plan to buy the Encre Noire à L'Extrême , from which I had only a sample but might go for a travel size.

...Wow I didn't know about Hugo Boss:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...And I have a suit from them (handed down by my brother-in-law but still). Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette is a scent from my youth which I was considering to offert to my soon-to-be-16 years old... But well, no. I am more shocked by this association than with others (I guess the managers/designers/perfumers nowadays don't have anything to do with nazis, but still they keep the name of their founder). I sure won't buy any drug themed fragrance for an ex addict... But then what of alcool or tobacco names (or notes!) which are aplenty...For those who are hard-trying to shock with the names of their new thing (Tom Ford?) I am just rolling my eyes at the marketing stuff and try to base my appreciation on the actual juice... As long as their shtik don't offense me too much (everyone has their limits, and it is absolutely not being a weirdo to have them).I really like Mugler Cologne - Fly Away for example, a benign name with a supposed secret "C- note" (I can't insert a smiley here, but for sure it is the rolling eye one). Granted, it has a cannabis note, but if you thing of it as an herbacious note it is well done and I really enjoy it. But I can understand it may shock someone else.Thank you for the topic.

...I wore 20Mars2022 the other day and it is deliciously dark.Thanks for this thread ! Have a nice performance

...Nice one! I didn't have photos rejected so wasn't aware of this problem. Have a nice day !

...Hi, just wanna thank you all for your nice photos🤩!Don't you want to put some of them on the fragrance's own page? I like looking nice photos there too.Here is one I took of a mysterious miniature I found in a shoebox belonging to my late grandmother. (I am planning to write a blog post about my discoveries there. And I am planning to wear it,I don't want it to wait another 20 years forlorn and forgotten).Réplique Eau de Toilette

...I guess A*Men Pure Malt There was some bottles available at a reasonable price just 2 years ago. But I wished to test it beforehand. Once I got a sample, and found out I really like it the price were rocketing... I am less moved by the disparition of A*Men Pure Havane (and gave my sample away) - for me L'Homme Idéal Eau de Parfum fills that spot.I hope to get my hand on Field Notes From Paris before it vanished.

...EmberRoseThe generic shower gel notes can't put my finger on them. But I'm sick of a majority of masculine scents having that smell.Don't like them very much either. (As for cardamom, I like it! Violet is more of a 50-50. But I don't have the feeling you smell them everywhere ?)Have a good day

...Thanks for your suggestions! For me mostly The Dreamer Eau de Toilette but sometimes when I want to feel "home", I wear L'Homme Idéal Eau de Parfum, or my talismanic Habit Rouge Eau de Parfum. My very special hugger of a scent might though be No.09 - Vallée de Farney Perfume Oil. It's my teddy bear. Very fluffy.

...OK thanks for the update! I hope you are relieved, and hopefully it will alleviate your tinnitus. Thanks also for the tips to mitigate the effects of COVID on the smell. I hope not to need it, but I for sure have fragrance associated with good memories (which would be a nice forum topic).My ex wife, a musician, had once a ringing hear, and a treatment helped. But I believe her case was luckily quite mild (sufficient to disturb her sleep though).Take care and enjoy your collection. (Loved your review of The Dreamer Eau de Toilette by the way. )

...Hi Mitchcraft, I am really sorry to hear that you have this condition.  I can understand it can make you mad. Did you search for psychological support also ?  I am sure it could help somehow.As for the sprays, I can also understand your fear. Losing or damaging my smell  is actually the thing I fear most in the covid (which I didn't seem to have yet). Or just to inherit the weak sense of smell of my father... But you did recover your ability to smell after the covid, so maybe after this spray session too? One thing i know is that the olfactory bulb is one of the few place that regenerate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Hope you will have more specialised advice here.  Hold on!

...No problem Cocopah! :-)

...Johanna47Johanna47I have an eau de parfum created by Galbarome named "Sunray" but I can't find it anywhere on Google.It is a pink/lilac box with yellow suns cut out of the paper.I have not opened it yet so I don't know what the bottle looks like.I bought this bottle late 90's or early 00'sFamiliar to anyone?????GreetingsJohanna47I opened the bottle after so many years just out of curiosity and Sunray saw the sun after so many years but..... it was a totally different bottle then kreamdon found so I am still searching for the truth, it must be out there....... ;;))  I hope the photo of the bottle will pop up.Did you try it ? How is it? Now you might have found the perfect perfume, and be the only one who has it.

...Of course ! I try to travel with a small collection of decants that could fit any mood or (planned) weather. But I find sometime myself wanting something that stayed home...As for Cristalle Eau de Toilette ... Well I didn't now of this perfume till two day sago. I just found a shoebox by my parent's place that belongs to my grand-mother. With a few soaps from hotels they visited with my grand father.... and a few vintage samples. Among which... Cristalle Eau de Toilette . It could have help you !Hope you will survive through your craving...(By the way, these samples are mainly full, and I don't think my parents will use them. Should I wait another 20 years till they pass down to me, still untouched, or should I take them straight away) ?

...Hi Cocopah, no I am just impressed  that Kraemdon found how the bottle looks like. I did also search more about this perfume and found nothing ! He did a great job.
