I am sorry. Didn't know my post of humour will end up this way
I don't mind paying for quality and established brand when comes to personal health care and beauty products coz I very kiasi... I rather buy a bottle of Brut or Adidas or Playboy frag than those inspired by... In fact I just got a bottle of Brut Musk for less than 30

And bro Kel, I do agree with ur smell similar not equal to copy statement.

Finally... My parcel has arrived... CDG packaging is somehow cheap...

Sprayed 1 spray of CDG on the back of my hand and it was really epic! I think this should be called as spicebomb, well deserved! Initial opening is so so strong, not for the faint heart...monstrous silage... Few feet can smell it.. All the spices come attack ur nose at once and will cannibalize any other scent wear by ur neighbour. One sniff will caused olafactory fatigue, after 5mins the all the spices calm down abit, and u get the harmony honey stirred using cinnamon and sandalwood

Just imagine u walk into an indian spice shop, the boss throw lots of spice powder like nutmeg, clove,coriander etc towards ur face, then only ask u sit down and have a cup of honey with cinnamon stick.

it got this enigmatic and medicinal vibe tat really can seduce ppl lol, couldn't stop sniffing my hand...

It is a very unique fragrance, nearest comparison would be chanel egoiste w/o the old man vibe.. I can see it can be versatile, just wait 15 mins for it to drydown before u leave ur house

If u really love spices, this is the one u must try...
Price wise: 140 for 50ml edp, which 1 spray can last u a day...

This is my 2 sent after trying out 1 spray of CDG edp

Haha yea.. Smoking is much harmful lol...
But some perfume need body chemistry or body heat to project... Dior fahrenheit need heat to smell nice... Spray on clothes only get mostly top note...

Scent of the day - Bogart Pour Homme

Good morning to all

Have been wearing bogart PH for the second consecutive day, very impressed n happy with it compare to my CDG.
Before I go to share the bogart experience, I wanna pay my full respect to Mr Maurice Roucel for making such wonderful cheapie. And jacques bogart for hiring him to make such beautiful fragrance.

Bogart PH is sexy n masculine. Prominent cherry pipe tobacco scent yet sweetness is subtle. I got 7hrs longevity and ok projection.

The opening is very lavenderish then evolve into a fairly linear tobacco scent. Picture this, ur mum asked u to wash toilet, u went to use this kiwi lavender toilet wash n pour like half the bottle just to scrub 4 toilet tiles... Strong potent soapy mint lavender attacking ur nose, this lasted like 5 minutes, then u sit on top of the toilet bowl, take out ur pipe and start smoking cherry flavour tobacco...

For me it is not a projection monster, subtle 1 ft projection... Expect for the extreme potent opening. I do 2 on neck, 1 on chest; can't breath for like 5minutes then slowly I got the very wonderful drydown...

It has now rise to be my fav, amongst my ck one shock, eau des baux

Overall: buy! 70 for 100ml of Maurice Roucel's creation... Mana cari la wei

Yea 9-10 sprays can kill ppl... Imagine A*men lol... For poor longevity issue, I feel best way is carry a travel-size atomizer around will do.

Wow surprise MV got bogart, I'm impressed.. How much they are selling?

So far I can't find ppl saying my scent is heavy or choking

unlikely gua.. i am hugging my bogart to bed haha.. plus it is worth to get the full bottle bro

i am looking at Lalique pour homme edp and Ted Lapidus Pour Lui, both also from Sir Maurice Roucel

ic... Never try those tat u mentioned before
I did try more than 5 sprays with unforgivable...

Scent of the day - Kenzo Power to prevent the evil monday blue

My daily workscent line up:
1. CK one shock
2. Bogart Pour homme
3. L'occitane Eau des Baux
4. Polo Romance Silver
5. Unforgivable / Bleu du Chanel

Occasional depends on mood: Dior Homme Intense, Comme de Garcons

Can get like 7hrs+ on me... Well it does project nicely for an hour or two then slowly fade into skin scent, well romance should be very close contact

My gf go crazy when I spray it on

bro Kel, need ur opinion.... I like the opening of Polo Double Black and the drydown of London.... which one to go for?

This will complete my perfect lineup of my beginner collection

Bro Kel, I am currently perfecting my 8 value bottles for day-to-day purposes. Here are the 7 I got so far:

1. Ck One Shock - staple workhorse scent for me. IMO the only CK that I find it worth having
2. Bogart Pour Homme - My most recent addition, and yet rise to be one of my fav. My staple work scent,
3. L'occitane Eau des Baux - Online review it as poor man's Tobacco Vanille. I can't comment as TV is way beyond my reach. For me, it is sexy, smooth blend of spice n vanilla. One of my staple work scent. Plus my gf love it so much on me
4. Polo Romance Silver - as the name say for itself, romantic scent. Subtle projection, nice longevity. My signature date scent my gf want to smell on me
5. Dior Homme Intense - my no-brainer night-time scent for club, drink, occasionally I wear to work
6. Sean John's Unforgivable - Millesime Imperial anyone? Lol... This is my sprayer-liberal friendly work scent it is so aromatic and inoffensive. The champaign vibe never fails to nab u girl in club
7. Bleu de chanel - my go-to frag going grocery, gym, work, hot day etc... it can be wear on any occasion. The chances u bump into any guy with same scent is lower compare to ADG or AHS lol
8. Still looking for a versatile king frag that can alternate with my BDC... Currently looking at polo DB or london... Not really a big fan of fresh or aquatic, so need ur opinion lo bro kel

SOTD - unforgivable

Joey, how do u find the tobacco note in ur guerlain vetiver?

Haha..evil la bro lol i think by that time my gf sure kill me edi haha... PDB it is then lol... solid choice?
