Smelled on the Street

[VanillaCloud]

Non-binary Lidl employee: Sauvage edt, Fendi headband.

 

[Ifti]

Aqua Di Gio
Kouros
Something akin to Prada Infusion Vetiver.
Smelled by the beach 🙂

 

[rum]

Chanel Allure Homme Sport

 

[Ifti]

Been smelling something akin to Platinum Egoiste. Lol will always remind me of Rum, thanks for introducing it to me!!

 

[rum]

Caught a strong whiff of Terre d' Hermes at the weekend... on a lady. Pure class.

Also what I think must have been Royal Oud (or something very similar to it) whilst out and about in town.

 

[Ifti]

Something that.smelled just like the local barber! That pot of stuff the blade or brush is swashed about in. Maybe some naturals a la bristles?!

Then I think I was a bit closer, slightly like L'Insoumis Lalique? 🤔

 

[rum]

I'm quite sure I caught a whiff of Creed Viking (regular version). I may just need to ask the individual about this one as I thought my nose was playing me tricks.

 

[Ifti]

Been catching whiffs of something nice - think I'll ask next time what it is!
Gorgeous creamy shaving foam aroma.
Fair play to the staff at The Perfume Shop Solihull for actually suggesting a few things proper when I asked what it might be( not just 'this is new, you must like oud...blah) and came up with Platinum Egoiste.

I'm smelling a lot of ambroxan-ouds on men. Not pleasant.

The suspense is killing me! You got to report back @Ifti when you find out what it is?

 

[rum]

Got a sniff of what I think is Breath of God by Lush on a lady this week.

Haha i surely will. My mind some reason going to Prada Luna flankers, carbon? Just guessing though 😃

 

[rum]

Tally another one for Black Orchid

 

[slpfrsly]

I smelled something very fresh, fruity, slightly sporty, and overall pleasant earlier today on what is something of a rare character type these days: the British "chav". He had overapplied said fragrance but as he went by on his rusty bike it left a fantastic scent trail. I have no idea what it was, couldn't even hope to guess (at a push, something Ralph Lauren?). It could have been a bodyspray because it didn't smell like an ambroxan bomb - although performed like it. Very fruity-fresh but I wouldn't say aquatic.

@rum !
I smelled it again offova' store assistant in Tesco. I asked and I'm not sure it wasn't "gatekeeping" 😜. He said it was what the barber put on. Where's your barber!? Kings Heath in Birmingham. Utter madness, I think I'll have to be like one who has a few screws loose and maybe just go into the several barbers on the high street there!
Really nice, good shaving foam smell, not cheap or synthetic, a little sweetness, a little powdery, a sprinkle of spice and well ***#& me, really good trail, one you want to follow.

There's a few Turkish barber houses there and he looked like he'd gone for an "Ertugal" beard trim. I've seen a few of them big Turkish splashes /sprays ... Will investigate further!!

 

[Ifti]

Catch whiffs of Kouros ( more often than if like 😂).
A couple of times this week on the public transport!

The Turkish Barbers will often spray a 4711 type fresh neroli cologne but I doubt it's that that you're catching whiffs of.

Less frequently they may employ a TF for man Extreme type scent. That could come across quite barbershop-ish with Creamy shave foam aroma. You might need to get back to the Check out and try catching him out!

Wednesday:
Coco edp at a Farmers Market.

[hednic]

Definitely smelled Bleu de Chanel on a middle-aged man at a car dealership yesterday.

 

[TT2450]

Sauvage at the gym this morning, Azzaro Chrome at the office.

 

[d r e]

It's usually hard to accurately decipher what a person is wearing, I'm not gonna pretend I'm 100% accurate.

With that being said, I must've smelled Ariana Grande Cloud 20 times in the past month. Surely wasn't Burberry Her, BR540, or the Pacifica one.

I'm not complaining though, smells good to me!

 

[rum]

BR540 yet again - this is becoming more and more popular

 

[DeathArrow]

In which city? I might want to move there.

Agree! My cynical mind says it must've been conciously framed in the background of some influensters social yapping and thus is taking on the must have bro statement frag that ahem some other Napoleonic fragrance once had 😮

To be honest though it's these teeny college kids ( who never seem to be at college) who are sporting this frag ( around here anyway - Brum!)

 

[cheapimitation]

I caught a waft of some sweet ambroxan thing off a young father walking with his two girls on the sidewalk. It wasn't terrible in the air but I'm not sure I'd want to be in an enclosed space with him.

 

[Ifti]

Oh, caught something akin to Wonderwood in the queue for coffee on the weekend.

Dah, went off it, too peppery and into BO territory for me!

Is Sauvage finally being replaced?

 

[rum]

Is Sauvage finally being replaced?

Here’s hoping!

 

[BiliousBetil]

Just now, on the way home from the park, I walked past a young man dressed in black. His pleasant scent arrived before him and hung around for a few moments after. I'm pretty certain he was wearing Tom Ford F**king Fabulous, which it was.

Cheers!

Today, just like most other days, I smelled MFK BR540 on a young woman who seemed very unfit for it.
I always recognise it on people who want to radiate their fragrance to others and it bothers me a lot. Especially in the case of br540 since I absolutely detest it.
The other day I met an old friend and instantly recognised his Aventus, which was very pleasing (although unexpected)!

 

[Adonna]

Last week a man walked by in DHI.
Dogs paused in his sillage,
said a quiet
'thank you pups' .

Totally know what you mean! I caught plenty of whiffs of it recently. At one time a couple of weeks ago, I picked it up on a woman across the street (perhaps 6-8 metres away). It literally couldn't have been anyone else.

Haha, I know right?
Usually young girls with no personality overspray it in my experience. Always at least 8 sprays of the extrait which is bonkers. You don't even want that much with a good fragrance, never mind one that smells awful

 

[Ifti]

Something akin to EL Pleasures for Men.

Perhaps it's not even that good, just pushed some buttons, one I remember having samples of and maybe even in those little pull off to smell adverts in fancy fashion magazines "back in the day"!

 

[Ifti]

My pal I met today, often gifted frags from his partner who works in Boots. Apparently the staff get to pick stuff every so often as bonuses and gifts every( turning green).
He got 1 million previously and loathed it.
Today I got nice whiffs, very pleasant , "inoffensive", a bit floral and powdery. Like a no brainer loafing in casuals frag ( which is exactly what we did today!). He said it was Aramis and I'm thinking it was from that "adventure/black/voyager..." Range from a few years ago.

 

[Pippin06]

First time responding to this thread. I live in a suburb of Sacramento, and have for 20 years now. I think in all that time, I don't recall smelling anyone's fragrance while out and about. I worked in the city (Sacramento), and did smell female colleagues perfumes several times--and it was very rare. So as far as "smelled on the street" goes, I live in the wrong place! Must get to the city more.

Encre Noire on a bus. Couldn't have been anything else.

 

[Ken_Russell]

Among both random and totally unknown female as well as male passers by, a quite strongly projecting and uncommonly high prevalence of scents akin to Creed Royal Water and/or GIT, feminine and male Cool Water as well as Armani ADG.

Considering also quite a few Zara, Verset, Massimo Dutti knockoffs in the case of either.

Probably, but not 100% certainly-caused by both an uncommonly early surge of springtime and even summery temperatures, even more so within a fairly moderate climate area on one hand.
But also the already widespread popularity of such fragrance types as versatile semi-formal, smart casual choices where I live, as soon as temperatures begin to increase.

Nice, pretty unique. Distinctly remember both occasions and locations when smelt in the wild. St. Philips Church and the ICC in Birmingham UK!!

Monday in the market a man, vying for attention was wearing lashings of Kiehl's Musk.
everywhere I went he hovered - had he back off I would have complimented his scent.
