When i opened the box, immediately waste a spray on my hand... Surprisingly a very satisfied blind buy lol.. 99 for 60ml.. the main reason behind such emotional buying tat time was the bottle design itself smile.gif so chun, one of the nicest looking bottle around.

It has a slight creamy n sweet floral drydown, which is just ngam ngam masculine... opening we have the usual citrus smell but fade into a very nice calming floral scent, bit feminine then evolve into creamy sweet floral scent... which i like it more than Fluer Le Male

longevity 6+hrs on my hand, projection just nice, safe n inoffensive... ngam for office or should i say versatile... i gotten compliments immediately i spray on my hand smile.gif

Kenzo Power can be summarized as lighter dior homme minus the make up vibe. Floral n yet masculine, imagine a working guy with shirt n tie n cuff link smile.gif elegantly done.

What do u expect from Oliver Polge tongue.gif The name "Power" i think refers to how floral scent can be blend into such man and yet sexy...

nice nice. different definition of 'Power' I suppose. sounds interesting. thanks man

if you go to fragrantica and have a search on Versace Pour Homme. you'll see Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme in the 'This perfume reminds me of...' section. guess who threw that sucker in there? ME biggrin.gif hahahahahaha rclxm9.gif

I just disagree with Versace Pour Homme being similar to Chanel Allure Homme Sport lol. like, there is this hugeeeee gap in between those two.
to my nose, Versace Pour Homme resembles closer to Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. the tonka definitely! I might be crazy, but that's just my unbiased review. unbiased meaning not referring to FragComm reviews on fragrantica, basenotes, and even YouTube. credibility needed. credibility given. I might be crazy and the whole world may look at it differently, but oh well.... blush.gif

Mane tu Slash... Lol Parkson, Sasa and Sephora are my fav hangout for tester scent

Slash one is inside Ampang Point (1st floor. or maybe 2nd). 2nd one is outside Ampang Point but still in the area. same row with the Yellow Cab Pizza there.

there are other duty-free shop. If I remember correctly, Pavilion has one. called Just Parfum or some thing like that lahh. you can try your luck at such places.

but not everything is cheap. so beware. I think I saw 100ml Rubber Flask A*Men selling at RM 345. gila.
but other scents are quite cheap like Gucci Pour Homme 2 100ml is selling at RM 245 (cheaper than FragranceX), Versace Blue Jeans 75ml is selling at RM 79 (cheaper than FragranceX and Perfume-Malaysia. sorry bro wazzapp sad.gif so so sorry. )

Fahrenheit for me smile.gif

reading your previous post on Fahrenheit, mind me asking on how do you get floral? I get the smell that my nenek at kampung bakar sampah when I was 5 years old at that time. then I'll throw in plastic bags in there. and see them melt. then these plastics melting gives out this smell, that's what I got out of Dior Fahrenheit.
it does smell cool (not as in cooling. but cool like damn badass one!), I'll give you that cool2.gif

Initially i was so negative abt Fahrenheit just like anyone else due to its opening. Ppl like saying kerosine or gasoline smell.. so i wanted to try it again and this time ask the Dior awek spray on my hand... i was expecting like smell of shell or petronas but no.. it just unique opening then drydown i say kinda floral coz i think i pick up the smell of jasmine.. smell very green

i guess my skin is not one of the chosen by dior to wear the kerosin smell sad.gif the drydown is masculine... the mix is just right, i am kinda noob here... i guess Kenzo Power just teach me how to identify floral note smile.gif

BTW today is my third day wearing kenzo Power smile.gif
*
funny. because I've loved Fahrenheit on first sniff. so I might be left out from the crowd of hating its initial blast.
kerosene? i got funny leather + burning + plastic scent. I likeeeeeee it! thumbup.gif it was like early 2011 I sniffed it. can't recall if I got floral out of it. hehe. sorry sorry sorry

LOL, CK One Summer 2012. I know many don't think highly of CK, but this one just makes me feel fun, young and happy. Plus my gf likes it. Still thinking if it is worth of cause longevity will be an issue.

people! sifus! I need help. urgently. pleaseeeee share your opinion(s) smile.gif

tomorrow my friends and I are going to play badminton. what would be the scent after the game ah?

Lalique White or Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme or Creed Aventus or Creed Silver Mountain Water?

I thought of Eau Extreme, but then, one of them is the royalty punya family member. kerabat DiRaja. hence, do I have to go with Creed? leceh betul la when got people like those big shots. hahahaha. if not, I busuk busuk je and nobody seem to care at all sweat.gif

your opinions and suggestions are highly appreciated. especially kelthuzad bro (because you play badminton) and astroboy (your massive collection of niche and the fact that Aventus is one of your personal best). other people, feel try to comment and suggest too. open to all icon_question.gif

thankssssssss. thank you very much

Bro ShinKen, If i were you... i will definitely go for either SMW or Aventus. Not because they are niche... but because they are pleasant... Not offensive at all and citrusy. After you sweat, normally the fresh type of fragrance esp citrusy will go well with sweat or BO or whatever ... hehehe .. Anyway, good luck bro.... smile.gif

just got both from bro Kelthuzad earlier today. which would you prefer? Aventus or SMW?

thanks smile.gif

I own a bottle of 125ml Lalique White. I also decant it in a 5ml glass vial for long days at class.

one day, I threw it in my bag (and forgot to take it out). and one fine day, I wore Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme to campus and I walked into the elevator and my goodness! the whole elevator smells of nice fresh lemon! beautiful! I thought to myself, "who is wearing this Lalique White?! definitely not me. I'm on Eau Extreme. Eau Extreme do have lemon but it is nowhere near this. I know this scent. it's darn good lol. whoever could be wearing it in campus must be like me (who goes deep into fragrances). damn it"

then I as I reached home, I could still smell the Lalique White. turns out I broke the 5ml decant which was in my bag. bag absorbed like the whole juice of my decanter. I had a good day smelling Lalique White brilliant-ness lol.

and yes, as Kelthuzad said, it smells of Lemon Leaf. not really lemon. a nice change I think as I personally find lemon a bit too mainstream.
