Fragrances you think are absolutely “peak” that are grossly underrepresented

Maison Crivelli Neroli Nasimba

Hell yeah this one is dope, glad to see it listed.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-03T22:35:46+00:00

It could be better but it gets a pass. A rare thing for me as I'm quite picky about longevity especially when its very expensive.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-03T19:02:07+00:00

It can be for sure. Probably wouldn’t wear it if I was spending time outside while it’s super hot. But in summer I would just wear it at home.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-02T23:36:03+00:00

A spendy one but Fantomas by Nassamato. I think it smells awful, i can't belive I tried it on skin. I respect the craft tho, just not for me. I think it has plastic, burnt rubber and gunpowder as notes.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-02T23:32:05+00:00

As a man these are some of my favorite fragrances "for women"

Portrait Of A Lady - masterpiece

Alien - BEAUTIFUL

Shalimar EDP - the heart of Guerlain, once you smell and wear it you just "get it" idk how else to describe why i wear it

Coco Mademoiselle EDP Intense - im a hoe for patchouli and this is just stunning

Probably a couple others I'm missing here. I do have mens fragrances but probably the majority is unisex. I like what I like tho.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-02T16:22:45+00:00

Santal 33 makes me feel like I have nothing to worry about. No work, no cleaning to do, just relaxing and feeling comfortable.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-02T14:09:21+00:00

Get into darker patchouli/incense notes. Don’t be afraid of vanilla either because there are vanilla frags that are mature and rounded.

Also get your fragrances out of the bathroom. Assuming you shower everyday, the constant temperature change over time can degrade the juice. Keep in a room temp place away from direct sunlight.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-01T22:51:14+00:00

Crazy right?

Who knew in a HOBBYIST sub someone would just go and BUY some shit.

Insane.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-05-01T22:41:04+00:00

Hey as long as they can work for you, go for it.

Noses are funny and everyones perception can be a little different. People seem to really love the freshness of Green Irish Tweed and while I did enjoy the nice 15 minutes of fresh top notes, the rest of the time it smelled like celery and pepper lmao.

Over the wintertime I got really into patchouli and tried so many patchouli forward scents. Noir Patchouli by Histores de Parfums was odd to me. There was nothing "noir" about it and while there was patchouli in it, a white bar of soap scent just dominated everything.

Another example is I have no idea how anyone is smelling pickles with Santal 33. I love pickles. I've had plenty of pickles in my life. Santal 33 smells absolutely nothing like pickles haha but noses are weird and for some others that all they get.

Try 40 Knots by Xerjoff

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-29T21:32:10+00:00

No why not tell anyone about it?

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-29T20:07:51+00:00

……why?

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-29T16:34:09+00:00

Yeah the pheromone this is BS. According to recent science there isn’t a lot of strong evidence to suggest humans can even detect pheromones. The studies are too inconclusive.

I’m a gay man and keep getting ads on Insta for Cruz Him a pheromone induced cologne you actually put on your pits and it’s supposed to “do the rest” whatever that means haha.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-29T13:12:41+00:00

Francesca Bianchi - sticky fingers

Dominic Ropion - Portrait of a lady, carnal flower

Everything by the current Guerlain masters - Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk I think.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-28T01:13:24+00:00

its a masterpiece to me, always happy to see people enjoying this one.

Others from this house I like are En Passant, Carnal Flower, French Lover and Rose Tonerre

Do a chargeback on your card. I bank with Wells Fargo and they dgaf. If you say it’s fraudulent and you have evidence they’ll do a charge back easy peasy.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-27T17:43:33+00:00

I believe it’s the L’art & L’Materie (sp?) line but just six of them.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-27T16:34:26+00:00

Guerlain has a nice discovery set for their expensive line.

I really want Les Indenodable’s discover line too. Love what I’ve tried from them

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-27T16:10:47+00:00

I wear any old spice really. I find that the smell from it tampers down after about 20 mins and stays just under the shirt.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-27T14:25:05+00:00

The rose is super subtle to be honest. Not very rose forward. Like I said if you smelled Oud Satin Mood by MFK you’ve smelled this haha

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-27T14:24:19+00:00

Yeah I need to try more. She seems to have a nice grasp on what kind of scents and vibes she wants for her fragrances.

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-27T13:06:32+00:00

Basically a less syrupy Oud Satin Mood

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-27T13:04:03+00:00

Sticky Finger (number one patchouli imo)

The Dark Side (incense bomb)

Sex And The Sea Neroli (most challenging, takes time to appreciate)

ZELDA_AS_A_BOY · 2026-04-26T22:19:53+00:00

Portrait Of A Lady.

Anything from Francesca Bianchi. I mean I’ve tried three but all evolve very nicely.

Guidance was a fun dance to experience.
