Just recently picked up Le male elixer and i absolutely love it. Warm, sweet, sensual get those hints of vanilla a tad of tobacco, bits of lavender and its just so nice to wear and i say definitely worth the money only second to dior elixer only because dior lasts a bit longer stronger and its a different mature scent

I liked the video for including Rain Essence and Spicebomb Infrared EDP. Their ranking leaves a lot to be desired but its your list and your rules. Personally, i wouldnt rank clone fragrances over originals even if the latter is deemed boring or basic especially when the former is a known brand that makes copies which is definitely not original.

Can someone help give me advice, please? I'm looking for advice considering what fragrance/fragrances I should buy next. Personally, I have used many sweet fragrances because I'm 14 and these tend to smell great on my skin, some of these sweeter fragrances are Le Male Elixir and Invictus (I bought Invictus before learning everything about fragrances, however, I still do like the bubble gum-like smell to it). However, I have also worn other types of smells such as citrusy with Club De Nuit Intense Man, I enjoy the coconut smell of Le Beau Le Parfum being one of my favourites I have worn this summer (I live in Australia) and I also have Le Male Le Parfum, Bad Boy Cobalt EDP and Dior Sauvage (don't use this one too much, I think its too common and it was given to me as a gift). Additionally, I wouldn't like to spend more than AUD 250 ($170 USD, €154 Euros), as I have an income of around $100 per week. Additionally, I smelt Spicebomb Extreme and it didn't sit well on my skin being too harsh and spicy for my liking. I listed all my fragrances in this comment btw. TLDR - 14yo looking for advice for the fragrance he should buy next that's no more than AUD 250 ($170 USD, €154 Euros). Thank you :)

Mr. Gent Scent I do have a question for either yourself or the fragrance community. Still slightly new collecting etc but I just got got a new bottle for Xmas, it’s a Eau de cologne spray and if I’m not wrong, that’s not a super high concentration compared to like a EDT even and especially EDP..but in order from least concentration to most wouldn’t it be, Eau de Fraiche, then you have the cologne spray, then EDT & EDP etc?
@SmellsAddicted7 ай бұрын
Yes. There aren't many Eau de Fraiche Men's fragrances that I'm aware of. It would be more like a very light refresher. You are correct in the concentration order: Eau de Cologne Eau de Toilette Eau de Parfum Parfum and Extrait de Parfum are kind of used interchangeably, I think. Elixir doesn't really have an official concentration, but they are usually around EDP concentration. Just because a fragrance has a higher concentration doesn't mean it will be stronger. Sauvage EDT is stronger than EDP. Also, concentration isn't the only difference. When a fragrance line puts out a new flanker, they often change some notes. Hope this helps.
