i really like the smell of l'homme,just bought it,but damn...really bad longevity,and after going thru other websites,many ppl have longevity issue with l'homme too.
i just bought bvlgari extreme last month,now this is really nice and refreshing,last whole day,smelling good,feels light,just nice.
i recommend terre dhermes too,classy orange scent,for young adults and up

for kenzo,kenzo power is the best,finish a bottle,gonna collect my preorder tester kenzo power this saturday,2 bottles of that,for back up.

where do you get your decants/ atomizer for l'homme?

decants for lhomme?for all of my atomizers usually i will use back those sample atomizers that i bought/get,just take off the cap and sprayer,fill it with some liquid hand wash soap and water,let it soak for a day,done,no smell,for stronger scent,do it twice.
some perfume sprayer is a bit harder to decant yourself into normal atomizers,like angel men rubber flask,so i have to get 5ml atomizers,it has a bigger opening.its still small enough to carry around.i bought this from ebay in bulk
*
1. sample sprayer are those 1.2ml that we get for free from purchasing in department stores, right?

2. which seller on ebay? is it the one that Hiro made a video on?

thanks!

1.yeah,sometimes if lucky they will give out 2ml vials too.
2.i have to check back,cant remember now,fragranceaccesories or something like that. rm3 for 5ml,rm5 for 8ml

yeah daiso also have,but its quite expensive if i were to buy from there and use it myself. rm5x50 fragrance i have = rm250...just for empty bottles
*
1. ahaaa! what brands give out 2ml? I should go ask the promoter for free ones tongue.gif
2. the ebay seller, is he/ she local?

versace eau fraiche-the one that comes in a box is 2ml,the one that they just slip inside a hard paper is 1ml.
burberry's are 2mls,shiseido zen is a little more than 2ml.hermes are all 2mls.i doubt u can get free samples from them though,even if i buy a bottle they only give 2 if you are lucky,asking for more they will give certain look.thats why i prefer to buy samples,1 i can try new scents,2 i can keep the atomizer and reuse it after that


Added on October 13, 2012, 4:47 pm
kenzo power is one of my favourite scents,warm floral type,everyone compliments it,can be unisex.kenzo power has been discontinued in msia,hence i gotta ask my supplier to get 2 bottles for me from overseas and collecting them tonight  rclxms.gif
*
hehehe yeah. but there was once, a Parkson of Pavilion branch staff offered me 4 or 6 vials lol. IF I buy its Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme 200ml. funny man. some sales person when they are desperate for sale, they can be very generous tongue.gif

oh. is Kenzo Power suitable as a signature scent?

by the way, I'm looking something for a signature scent that have a really really good longevity. maybe as long or longer as Le Male's or A*Men.
I go to class. typical college life. the aircond is really cold. but when it is lunch time, it can be really hot out there. been rocking it for 3 semesters with Le Male as a signature scent. changed to Bvlgari's Aqva Pour Homme (due to the intense heat).
Aqva PH is good. but I am in search of something better. if you have any, COD me the sample after the 20th.

thanks! smile.gif

L'eau d'issey seems to fit the bill, fresh smelling, long lasting & can be worn anytime.

is L'eau D'Issey great to sweat in? hot & humid here in Malaysia. furthermore I'm commuting via public transport. double kill haha

yeah you are right,there was this sales assistant offered me a miniature and samples too if i buy a bottle from her few years ago,but unfortunately i dont like the smell,and i have not buy fragrance from retail anymore nowadays.

yup,kenzo power is really nice for signature scent,last whole day on my skin.i can ask my supplier to get for u if u want,but the only problem is have to wait damn long for it,i waited 3 months at least for a tester bottle.if u want i can get a sample for u 1st,if its still available that is.

Le male or A*men as signature scent?did your collegemates stare at u all the time??Aqva is nice,i like that salty seawater smell,but i would suggest bvlgari aqva marine,would be more suitable for classes and outings,its sweeter and more versatile.because with aqva ph,by the end of the day,u will smell salty and ppl around u will think you smell of sweat.dior homme sport is really nice too especially for our weather
L'eau D'Issey is nice,but every tom,d*** and harry is using that.i love tom,d*** & harry the pub though
if you are afraid of longevity issue,just do as what i said,bring a small atomizer around,just spray 2-3 times from the bottle when u go out,after 4 hours spray once or twice from the atomizer and do it again as needed.
*
FragComm label LeMale as a gay scent. but not at college. girls love 'em. haha. I like it too. the mint is a blast with the vanilla. so it isn't something like Paco Rabanne 1 Million. no, I have not used A*Men as a signature.
YES! exactly! you got that spot on! one of my peers thought I was sweating like a dog. truth is, it is the Aqva Pour Homme's scent. hahahaha.
-Aqva Marine huh? I might give it a shot.

Dior Homme Sport? I think it smells too safe. too cliche. I do like Chanel Allure Edition Blanche though smile.gif that is a lovely piece! do you have samples of Dior & Chanels up for sale?
Dior Homme, Dior Homme Intense, Dior Homme Sport, Channel Homme Edition Blanche

yeah. I thought of doing the same. I just preordered Lalique White from Perfume-Malaysia. can you sell me like 5 atomizers? lol. don't worry. it's ok to say no tongue.gif

Hey guys, any review on Hugo Boss's perfumes for men ? How long do they last when compared to armani code ?

I tried Boss Bottled out. opening was nice and lovely apple. but...............one and half hours later, it is gone
how I wished the opening last like 6 to 10 hours LOL. too bad. for something that light, I might as well just go for CK One Summer 2012

I have not tried Armani Code though. can't say anything about it. returning back on Hugo Boss's fragrances, I tried out the Boss Bottled. light green liquid. best seller they say. when I say one and a half hours later it is gone, I don't mean the opening. I meant everything. at least on my skin it was that poor.
the opening of Boss Bottle was really light and nice. I like it. but as soon as the opening is gone, it smells like a regular perfume. a perfume that everybody wears. very safe. very ordinary. very not me. hahahaha

aihh i tell u what,local girls wont be able to differentiate what frag is expensive or niche.ysl live jazz is a classier version of mint with citrus,but its really hard to get nowadays.i sold my a*men after i got my a*men pure havane,its really really awesome.
you are looking for something for college,long lasting,dior homme sport fits perfectly,especially the new formulation whereby they add in iris,really nice.channel AEB is nice but poor longevity,i wont pay channel's price for that kind of longevity. dior homme intense and dior homme sport got samples,dior homme i have to decant from my bottle for u if u want
i can sell u 5 atomizers,no prob,but i am still waiting for them to arrive as i have finished my current stock after decanting for other members.

huh!?how can u get only 1 and 1/2 hours of boss bottled #6?its the most bottle worthy and most long lasting from hugo boss,i spray on my cardigan and its still there after a week.spray on my body and it last whole day,more than 10hours with 3-4 sprays.and how is it green juice??u got a defected bottle is it??its yellowish,it smells like apple pie,i wanna eat myself cause of it.u are not smelling it properly i am telling u
*
ahhhhhhhhh! you know my weakness. I LOVE MINT FRAGRANCES Le Male, Cartier Roadster. oh boy. well, is Live Jazz nicer than Cartier Roadster? or are they very similar?

dudeeeeeee! where do you get your Thierry Muglers? sad.gif I've always wanted to try them out. the rest of the Pure line. sigh..

Chanels don't last long? you sure broooo? hahaha. Edition Blanche did a decent 8 hours on me. so-so sillage though.
I sniffed out Dior Homme Intense. that monster is very subtle but it lasted more than a week on a paper sample. damn son! although to me it smells very soft like a vanilla based fragrance for ladies, I did enjoy it. just I wouldn't dare to put it on to class. the girls at my college are wearing those kind of scent. vanilla scent for ladies. as a matter of fact, I smell it on ladies everywhere now rclxub.gif I wouldn't wanna wear something that the ladies are all already and have been wearing, would I not, now? hahahaha

p/s: I'm looking for a new signature scent that have monstrous sillage and longevity (due to extremely long hours of class. more than 8 hours). party scents like Le Male do fine. I am indeed the loud one in college. haha. I don't know why, I don't know how. but I just seem to be there. so, yeah. Le Male wasn't too hard to rock on as a signature scent to college daily back then.
I thought to go with Paco Rabanne's 1 Million, but I preordered Lalique White instead. I don't know. would you suggest me something that have monstrous sillage & longevity?

you said it bro. you sprayed on your cardigan. oh well, like I said. maybe it is just on my skin. poor me. it did wonders on yours. just not my luck, maybe sad.gif
nope. I just tested Hugo Boss Bottled at Parkson in Sungei Wang. or was it Bukit Bintang. it is green to my eyes. LIGHT SUBTLE GREEN. somewhat pastel green, I think. tongue.gif hahahahaha. I need an encyclopedia on colours now, maybe? Attached Image


Added on October 15, 2012, 1:33 pmoh yes. Dior Homme Intense reminds me of Dior Fahrenheit 32. vanilla-ish. yet, not exactly the same though

Tried using 1 Million sample. All of a sudden ladies are calling me "the guy" as in the guy that bathes in perfume. Its too strong imho for our weather and our culture. Asian ladies are not into heavy smells.

Boss fragrance are fine for Asian taste. But most of them either have poor sillage. My personal favs are Boss Energize and Boss In Motion. Very youthful and fun.

P/S: Monsterous sillager and longevity  --> 1 Million and be "that guy"  smile.gif

i prefer cartier,classier.live jazz is good too,college girls can accept it more i guess,but very hard to get it here.
i got my pure havane from thiery mugler 1u,got to know the SA and ask him to inform me when its available there.
with dhi,the basenotes will project out of a sudden,on the skin that is,not paper.yes the current formulation is much subtle but still good,the original formulation is manly sexy all the way,now i dont dare to use my 4ml of my original dhi formulation that i got from buying a decant from overseas member.
if u want loud and last long,yeah why not paco rabanne 1 million?sweet enough for young girls.another cheap underrated citrus scent that last until the next day is uomo? moschino,initially i wanted to sell it,but after trying it again after few months,its a keeper,i am really loving it,the bsaenotes especially and the projection is more than 8 hours.
what i mean was that if it stays a week on my cardigan,it will stay for a day on my skin.all my frens have good longevity and projection with hugo boss bottled,and all our juice is in yellow,simliar to our pee color.never have i seen any green juice.perhaps thats the reason why it doesnt stay,the molecule has been destroyed by heat hence the change of color,it does happen
*
Thierry Mugler, 1Utama? is it a department store or a boutique? visited Theirry Mugler's boutique in Pavilion. got nothing there. blink.gif maybe a bottle or two. Aliens, if I remember correctly. not A*Men. no B*Men. nothing from the Pure series/ line. frustrated. haha

Paco Rabanne 1 Million is underrated? you sureeeeeeee bro? hahaha. I've seen fakes. and those Grade AAA of them selling everywhere. even seen markets where they make cheapo imitations (usually in a tiny roll-on bottle) and label it as "Inspired by Paco Robanne 1 Million. ALCOHOL FREE". I'm not sure if know which and what I am talking about here. usually flea markets have them. like a booth. maybe a stall. hard to explain lahh.

I see you are selling Roadster. hehehe. how much are they up for? tongue.gif I loved. longevity gave me about 6 to 7.5 hours on me. decent chap. maybe decanting roadster for long hours in campus would do fine.

Uomo? Moschino? I'd love to hear more. hehe.

so, you're stating that Asian ladies prefer scents that close to the skin, yes? is it something like these:
Dior Homme Sport.
Chanel Allure Homme Sport.
Issey Miyake's L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme.
Issey Miyake's L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme Sport (DISLIKE. too safe. too subtle. too not-fun-to-wear. nothing much to rock on in it.).
Giorgio Armani's Acqua Di Gio (like it. but, I smell it everywhere. unsure.gif )
Marc Jacobs Bang
Givenchy Tropical Pi Neo

guys..been follow this thread quite sometime.. im just junior in this perfume thingy..currently just have dunhill desire blue, davidoff cool water n CK contradiction

cut it short..where is best place to buy perfume? retail shop or any trusted online shop?
*
depends on what you want. if you just want the perfume itself, go off retail.
but if you don't mind adding in like 30 or so bucks, you might get yourself some nice gift sets. gifts sets come with other gifts like I got myself a Bvlgari Aqva's shower gel, 100ml EDT, and a toiletries bag all for only RM 250 once from Isetan. that's a bargain.
for such offer, you really have to be thick skinned by keep checking out the perfume booths in department stores. I even got myself Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male 125ml for RM 199 in December 2011. came along with some free samples.
but keep yourself noted that Chanel & Dior don't tend to bargain off their fragrance. so, if you can find a genuine/ authentic seller that supplies Dior/ Chanel that sells them at a lower price, go get 'em.
for Chanel, usually they give freebies for purchases of RM 500 and up (for a miniature. 30ml or so). but if you spend RM 800 and up, they give you a bag. toiletries bag or a makeup bag, I can't recall. but for such offer to be available, you have to wait for them to open up a promo/ offer booth. so yea.

you gotta know your stuff smile.gif when to strike and where to strike.

p/s: Davidoff Cool Water is love. my 1st scent. chick lover. compliment getter!

Not that I'm into racial profiling or anything but this is rather true. When you go to perfume counters, the sales assistant will recommend light scents and say this fragrance is more suitable for chinese folks. Probably due to our cultural background. When girl smell loud fragrance like 1 million, you are 'that guy' in the bad way. Girls I know buy perfume that are fresh and light. So I did this test to see which one of my fragrance that my gf likes best. The result is really surprising. Fragrance enthusiast would not even give this one a second glance. Lacoste Essential Sport. A light and fresh scent.

Back to our fume induced obsession, if you want long lasting and good silage, I'd take Pure Havane over 1 Million any day.
B*Men is selling damn cheap these days but I don't dare to blind buy. Anyone can give a review ?
*
Question is WHERE CAN I GET MYSELF PURE HAVANE? hahaha
exactly! I can't find B*Men testers anywhere. don't dare to blind buy that either.
