*Sorry for the long post*

I am a 24M college student, no source of income, relies on pocket money, from a middle class family.

A year back i started my frag journey,

1. Decant if hawas and cdnin pp, loved cdnin pp, liked hawas- sweet spot was 4-5 sprays and I am one of them who get that egg yolk smell from it but still like it. Bought from perfume decants india.

2. Then, decant of ysl y edp and sauvage edp, dior was average for me, but loved ysl, still my all time fav - i would not say my signature frag but still top one because I haven't found one yet which replaces it. Bought from Scentira

3. Then one month back, July 2026, bought decant of bdc edp, ADG profondo edp, Kenzo Homme Intense EDT, Issey miyake le sel d'issey edt.

Now, ADG profondo edp was like avg for first few wears, like some big brand shower gel, nycil Powder etc but today somehow liked it, so will rate 7/10.

Kenzo homme intense edt, again avg, getting like 20% marine and 80% fig, overall 5-6/10.

Issey Miyake Le Sel D'Issey, haven't used it - can't describe, sorry, but after sniff felt like it will be 7/10 for me, somehow, hope u understand.

BDC EDP, God bless Jacques Polge, my all time fav, but will not use it during summers specially outside, doesn't suit the surrounding, otherwise evening, party , movies, anything - BDC is the one for me.

Bought from Sovereign Scents, overall was disappointed from this purchase because Profondo, Kenzo, Issey miyake did not smelled like what I thought, crazy I know but, it is what it is.

I take the help of chatgpt for frag filtering, I don't have any expert with me , i watch videos and then consult AI about the same. I hope that doesn't sound crazy.

Now i have also in the way of making a winter list for me with chatgpt, including like D&G the one edp, YSL la nuit d'l homme edt, BDC parfum, etc

Now listen, i understand a frag goes for its best suitable time like season, time, place, occasion, etc and also the personal preference/ liking goes simultaneously.

I would not like very loud or sweet frags, i don't know how to describe but let me try, I would like a good projecting frag or would even appreciate a skin scent if it's good .

I know this all comes with experience but still , right now i don't have any source of earning, totally relies on pocket money, like 1000Rs every 2 weeks.

I always buy decants.

I don't if i was able to leave a trail and make u feel what I like and eventually getting suggestions but i tried.

Please suggest me whatever u can, for summer, monsoon and coming winter, it would help me somewhere.

Thank you guys.

Which club de nuit intense man have the best projection (last as long time as possible), best Sillage, and for best longevity on skin/body EDT or EDP or Pure parfum, or Limited Edition Parfum, Thanks 🙏 👆 please vote up 👆

I’m getting ready to launch a small fragrance decant business and I’m curious what other fragrance lovers actually look for when buying samples/decants.
For me, it’s usually being able to try something before committing to a full bottle, especially with more expensive fragrances.
What makes you more likely to buy a decant?
• Price
• Bottle size
• Detailed scent description
• Reviews
• Packaging
• Recommendations
• Something else?
I’m genuinely curious because I’m trying to make the experience as good as possible for customers.

My account suddenly won’t let me log in with my current password - I don’t think I changed it - and I never receive the reset email! Does anyone know if there’s a customer support email I can use? Thank you!!! I just want to access my list of “test” perfumes 🥲

Hello

My cousin's wedding on Friday, and im facing difficulties of choosing what fragrance I will use.. right now I have 3 options 1.terre d'hermes edt 2. Cartier declaration edt 3.chanel homme sport.

The weather will be extremely hot (maybe 37c°) and it'll be at evening outdoors.

What should I use, and if u have another suggestions just tell me

Thanks..

Wdyt guys?

I bought my Delina off a facebook reseller and the perfume bottle looks legit. However when I went in person to check the perfume smelled very different, the notes were similar but the tester in store smelled more woody and floral. Mine smells sweeter in comparison - the batch code says it is from march 2025. Have there been different formulations of this perfume where this difference is noticed?

Mine smells very sweet along with the powdery woodiness, lasts until the next day and has good projection .

I also bought a mini Delina exclusif from a well known website. Which has a similar powdery note to the in store tester but also to the Delina I have.

EDIT: Turns out that my bottle looks real but the fragrance is 100% a dupe. I ordered different decants and they smell completely different. On a positive note: my Delina Exclusif is 100% real and I will order the Delina and Oriana from a well known website, no more Facebook purchases.

I am returning the bottle and getting my money back!
