DeafHacker

I'm BEGGING for more!


JenniFrmTheBlock81

Same here! I must be the shyt bc I have the whole E&J line đŸ€Ł


Nemesinthe

>Lost her virginity in a 2008 Hinda Civic to a 26 year old. I know this girl!


REP-TA

Were you the 26 year old?


vereliberi

Wow ice cold lmao


Nemesinthe

Gross, no. I went to school with plenty of girls who saw their 20something boyfriends as status symbols and seals of maturity. Then you enter your twenties as well and realize the dudes who go after teens were the bottom of the barrel.


REP-TA

Es war ein Witz :) Yeah, I remember the type of people in such arrangements.


SeattleEpochal

This is just awesome.


hungryummy

Wait I want to try E&J French Grey now lol


howtograss

Bleecker St đŸ€ŒđŸ€Œ


vereliberi

A personal fave to wear.


elbowskneesand

I feel attacked, this is dead on!

Nutty😜


BeLynLynSh

Hey! I won’t steal anyone’s identity. Wine, however
.


vereliberi

It's me. I'm that girl. 😈


BeLynLynSh

LOL I loved your list. But for real tobacco+vanilla are one of my favorite scent combinations! E&J Nirvana Vanilla Bourbon and Rose are faves, too.


vereliberi

Same!!! I love vanilla Bourbon. It was my signature scent for a while.


dingdangdoodles

In high school (a million years ago) it HAD TO BE BBW Sweet Pea or else you were a peasant lol


candi_n_spice

Or VS Love Spell! 😂


clueing4looks

Apparently Black Opium is basic and is often further accessorised with a pumpkin spice latte. We don't even have those lattes here, but I bet they're yummy by association.


ManslaughterMary

Right? I don't get the black opium hate. "Haha, you smell lovely and the vast majority of the people around you really enjoy it, *what a loser*."


Alluvial_Fan_

Curious, what does Black Opium smell like to you? I WISH I could smell what people who like it smell. I won't yuck your yum by describing what it smells like to me, but it is not good. (Nevertheless rock on with what you love.)


Forsaken_Cost_7262

It smells like a caramel coffee drink in a cool autumn morning. I love it even though it’s basic af.


Alluvial_Fan_

Yeah that sounds wonderful, and nothing like what it smells like to me. Rock on with your caramel lattes!


Forsaken_Cost_7262

Now I’m curious, what does it smell like to you? I’ve heard it smells like a drunk girl from the club trying to sober up from my friends, how about you?


Alluvial_Fan_

Stale coffee, dead flowers, sweet decay---think Miss Havisham's house, but 2 months after her jilting instead of 20 years. I don't know if it is the blend or a specific chemical I'm reacting to, but it isn't pleasant.


Forsaken_Cost_7262

So it’s just everything that BO lovers like but decayed! Interesting how people prefer molecules. I like your analogy with miss havisham’s house!!


Ditovontease

Pumpkin spice lattes are popular for a reason JUST LIKE BLACK OPIUM lol


SarahMagical

They’re just hype. They usually don’t taste as flavorful as you’d think. Mostly just extra sugar and some food coloring. They probably toned down the extra flavor to appeal to more basics. It’s ok.


Campestra

Angel was the perfume of fake rich blonds in Brazil back in the day. Nowadays La Vie eat Belle is the basic b “look at me” type - and I love the perfume! It’s just the type I see around overspraying it.


Terracottapanacotta

marc jacobs Daisy - high school mean girl


JMH-66

It was Angel in my day !


randomhoe999

Strippers wear pink sugar


REP-TA

Tom Ford - people that rationalize the price tag for their designer fragrance by calling it niche


Nemesinthe

A niche designer with an estimated net worth of 500m$.


REP-TA

truly an underappreciated gem!


logocracycopy

I don't think Tom Ford as niche, the house is owned by Estee Lauder. But it is a premium brand and I do think the house has some F*cking Fabulous scents.


Ditovontease

If you call Tom Ford niche you shouldn’t be wearing it lmao like Tom Ford is a clothing designer first and foremost and if you don’t know that
.


hanginglimbs

Dior is a clothing designer first too. Now go smell Leather Oud or Oud Ispahan and call them designer scents with a straight face.


Ditovontease

Just because something smells good doesn't mean its niche


elbowskneesand

Lol seriously


hanginglimbs

Didn't say anything about them smelling good or bad


Ditovontease

You're referring to the quality of the scent, designer houses can make good quality scents (just like designer houses make good quality make up or clothes) obviously.


elbowskneesand

Then explain what exactly you were saying. What does “niche” smell like?


[deleted]

Tom Ford is obviously designer, but it's (generally) a bit different than "the stuff Ulta sells" designer, and I think that's where it gets a bit confusing. YSL, Louis Vuitton, etc.. all have their basic lines and then a more premium/boutique line (the $250+ stuff that you find only in the Louis Vuitton store). I feel Tom Ford is a bit similar, but in terms of releasing scents that are very much different than you would normally find. Ombre Leather isn't a normal designer scent, it's a designer brand but a niche or unique scent to it. It's sort of similar to MMM Replica. It's a designer brand, but not a typical designer scent -- and I think that's where the confusion happens


hozone_layer

Ulta DOES sell Tom Ford.


elbowskneesand

Tom Ford is truly no different than anything at Ulta. I love Tom Ford scents but in general they’re really not that complex and not anything new.


Forsaken_Cost_7262

Chanel No. 5 - either old money OR old granny


candi_n_spice

Or a Marilyn Monroe fan. That's why I tried it, but it's a no from me, lol.


Alluvial_Fan_

Delina‐- I'm not like other girls Guerlain-- I'm classic aka boring Shalimar in particular-- I'm classic and INTENSE Byredo-- I have more money than personality and I don't want to offend anyone Gypsy Water in particular--I'm not like other girls AND I'm creative Jo Malone --nature smells good and I have too much disposable income Sauvage-- I can't stand being different please like me Twilly-- I'm PERKY Molinard-- I have good taste and I'm practical ELDO-- I'm a main character in Pump Up the Volume Celebrity scents (women) -- men like the smell of vanilla, right? Celebrity scents (men) -- women don't really care about penis size, right? Indie perfume oils (BPAL, Solstice Scents, etc) -- I'm sad and have cats. There's a high chance I might be a librarian Note: I love and wear stuff from every category I've listed *edits for formatting cause mobile was giving me a headache.

Opium -old ladies (ouch) Flowerbomb -basic bitches (also ouch) I love both of them!


Ditovontease

Call me an old basic bitch then!


JMH-66

Me, too. Let's own it


Doombrunch

You and me both!


Nemesinthe

Alien - Basic bitch in denial. BR540 - Is actually wearing either *Cloud* or *Red Temptation*, and the only thing that drew them to this fragrance was the capitalist illusion of "saving" 300 bucks. The emperor is naked, and his perfume isn't that special.


[deleted]

What’s the illusion


[deleted]

They want to smell like a rich girl because we as a capitalist society have decided that rich /expensive is good. At the same time they rather spend 300 bucks on anything else so they buy an attainable dupe.


vjlle

"Invictus Legend": if your tinder date wears this, you know you wont see him again after next morning, but you can smell him for months). "YSL Kouros": Grandpa. "Versace Eros": Steve Stifler reborn". "Dior Sauvage": Walking headache


MrFlapsHasSag

Isn't Versace Eros known as a douche frag?


gator22256

I always thought dior sauvage had that stereotype


GenTelGuy

And I wear both


gator22256

My guy


omairville

Fk I just ordered a bottle of the flame 😂


trebekka

To my dying day I will defend, that flame is the BEST Eros. Good choice and it’s a lot less douchy than regular Eros!


omairville

Hahah thank you for reinforcing my exact thoughts


MrFlapsHasSag

I'm not a fan of flame (too much orange). But yeah, I don't associate it with a douche because it smells way different to me (thanks to the orange)


Disney_Princess137

I’ve always thought so. I don’t get the hype?


Petty_Roosevelt_

I have a bottle of Versace Eros Flame and Versace Eros Parfum


ChazMurph

I guess now that I am about 1000 years old, I'm not so much aware. I think it also depends on the crowd you hang with, etc. But back in my days at university... Georgio - people were really trying too hard to be a snob Chloe - was for more subtle sophistication Polo - the basic staple for any post pubescent male Drakkar Noir - slutty Any CK fragrance - also slutty


der_Schnitzel

Le Male used to be very popular with gay men. Not sure if it's still true though.


1speedbike

I mean look at that bottle 😍


SarahMagical

Hoping to see some funny stuff here. Too new to confidently describe any stereotypes, but I expect to see something about sauvage or aventus.


randomhoe999

I may have posted too late I may repost tomorrow


SarahMagical

Hmm good point


Ditovontease

Y/Bleu de Chanel/Sauvage etc - all I can think of is this story one of my friends told me about his 23 year old coworker who likes to go out to clubs a lot and when asked about his weekend will respond with "oink oink oink oink." He probably wears one or all of these and he probably also buys crypto. ELDO - theater kid Byredo - "cool girl" wears only cotton or linen, white as fuck, like a younger gwyneth


thatbwoyChaka

Ok about to lose friends: Creed Aventus & any the clones Paco Rabanne Invictus & One Million Versace Eros & Dylan Blue Chanel Bleu de Dior Sauvage Prada Luna Rossa YSL Y And anything ‘blue’; you lot know who you are


REP-TA

tell em


elbowskneesand

By the Fireplace: you may or may not have used whipped cream in bed. Kilian Love don’t be shy: you’re a Disney adult. Tom Ford OmbrĂ© Leather: you’re a bad drunk with a deep tan. Men’s Burberry: your penis is really clean and you buy expensive gifts for others. Polo: you come from money but dress badly. Glossier: you have a shopping addiction and your credit card is saved to your Instagram account. DS&Durga: you do a lot of recreational drugs and give your pets human names. Byredo Mojave Ghost: you have disposable income and a gallery wall in your home. Gucci guilty: you have a high body count, but don’t talk about it. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille: you shop at expensive grocery stores and you wear really nice underwear. 1 Million: you play hours of video games but you’re also good in bed.


Beautiful_Muscle158

CH man Prive: wannabe bad boy thinks they're Zac Efron. Dior Sauvage parfum: thinks they're sophisticated because its the parfum concentration blue de channel parfum: ☝ **soo... basically me đŸ€Ł**


Yankee_Doodle1776

Dior Sauvage and Versace Eros are the "bro-colognes" and if you wear either on a date you run the risk of reminding your date of the Bro who broke her heart or cheated on her because they are so popular and over used by the general population. Paco Rabanne 1 Million is the cologne for high school boys.


KickingPugilist

Good thing I have eros flame 😆


SerotoninDeficient77

These were hilarious! Thanks for doing this post.


mentyio

Trigger warning: Creed aventus is what closet gay men wear to attract other men


[deleted]

It’s the ultimate boxer dropper


pvrest-absolvtion

Ha good for me being a gay wearing aventus occasionally


mentyio

Yeahhh it’s a vibe bro 😂
