Guerlain Spirituese Double Vanille...if you can afford it



touted as the best vanilla scent ever.

Spirituese Double Vanille is a boutique exclusive and is around 250 euros for 100ml.

Best bet for you for Guerlain in JB would be SG.

Today's SOTD for me:



very nice classy soapy scent of immortelle and moss.

how much did you buy your amouage for?

anyways, here's an educational video about perfume. watch and learn.

Luckyscent is selling it for 300USD = roughly 900 MYR. (but not yet include shipping) I love that one a lot but the price is prohibitive.

lol mitsouko dosent smell like attar oil, it smells like peach, roses, jasmine and vetiver. The Parfum version would be quite strong in scent of the notes that I have mentioned. 90s isnt vintage yet, vintage perfumes usually are about 20 - 30 years ago. But good start.

How much did you buy it for?

This is why im not a big fan of creed. Their scents arent 'special', but they smell like popular scents to me and also the issue with the different batches. I'd stick with Guerlain and niche lol.

wow that is cheap.

You train your nose by sniffing essential oils and and also by analyzing the scent and try to make up the mixture according to the notes. It does take time and you have to sniff many bottles before you can tell easily what you are smelling.

Guerlain isnt niche, but they are a perfume house, they specialize in perfume and cosmetics, which is why i prefer their stuff as Jean Paul Guerlain really knows how to make perfumes.

normal l'instant smells a lot like dark chocolate. the extreme one has a very strong cocoa accent that is sweet. The EDT is not sweet.

hmm sour? I just get sweet chocolate that ends with a slight sandalwood note. been using LIDGE for more than 2 years now. I dont get any strawberry from it. just sweetened cocoa.

Lol who said anything about buying? Just hunt in shopping malls and when you see a store selling essential oils (NOT fragrance oils) just sniff the bottles and remember how they smell.

Anyways, any local online perfume stores to recommend? I wanna get eau savauge for a low price. It's the best after bath scent, next to Hermes' concentre d orange verte.

ive seen them for sale in mid valley, jurlique contains a sizable number but you have to pretend you wanna buy la. lolz. another place is mt sapola in 1u. that one expensive.

ive seen some malaysian online shop selling for rm60/bottle. no way thats the ori.

I wonder when will wazzap bring in Eau Savauge Parfum?

For those who wanna know more bout my fave perfume house, Guerlain:

I just got a bottle of Concentre D Orange Verte last week. Really smells like fresh iced orange juice! Great for hot days

I got it from parfumjewel in 1U. They had some hermes there. This is a scent that go close to the skin over time and to most people it's undetectable, but it's there. Just sniff deeper. It opens with grapefruit and orange, a hint of mint (the icy/cool illusion) followed by a green citrus scent thats close to lemongrass/lime. The drydown is basically just wafts of fresh orange that you'll get throughout the day. Since this is meant to be applied as a cologne, feel free to spray as much as you can. Also spray on your clothes right after you dress up as a finishing touch or else it's gonna be even harder to smell.
