hmm
are you into the perfume itself or just to have nice promotional bags?

if you are planning a trip to singapore, dollar and scents sometimes have those bags, comestics bags that they sell individually..

hmm its hard to define nice as different ppl will have different taste,

if you want safe and generic, i think there will be quite a few to sample it from..

there is a newly launched fragrance called clean.

the idea is a really clean smell, i.e smells like freshly washed clothes or just come out from a shower..

hmm classy? frederic malle - french lover smells classy.. =P find something that is green or geranium

yes, and eau de toliette literally means toilet water

they do sell in travellers spray form

in sg, price for 3 x 10ml sprayer is around sgd140

i have 1 x 10ml if you are interested.

hmmm i have that
if you like gourmandish sweet scent, almost caramel like, then it suits you, however it is almost a skin scent type and longevity is a joke

i've seen ppl guys using girls perfume and vice versa...unless you plan to tell the whole world you are using a pour femme and be a joker for 5minutes

i dont see any problem in it..

some of the modern traits of some floral feminine in guy's perfume.. i.e kenzo power..

personally i've tried a few feminine perfume and it works just great =P

L'Homme is floral.. lasting power is nothing to shout about.. but ofcourse do give it a try, maybe it turns out quite nice on your skin

thank you jonny4 for introducing this nice scent

indeed bro jonny4,
its woody somewhat like inky, however not everybody likes the smell of it, however i did have a malay lady that likes the smell of it.. LOL

bro bear, it depends on your liking...

for me i would go 2 on chest, one on neck, two on side ear lobe or wrist, then one of shirt.. =P

but for me, sometimes my skin seems to eat up the perfume.. or get masked by ciggy smoke.. =P

so maybe for you, more is less

have a try on frederic malle - musc ravaguer

a refined version of le male, dont mind the top notes, which is civety, after that, boom..vanilla all you want..

its normal that the curiosity of our noses will defer from something that we are used to..
last time i cant really stand vanillaish scent, but now i am okay with it..

last time i hated patchouli scent, now i just love it,the earthy scent =P

Marc Jacobs pour homme

slightly more pricey

diptyque philosykos

Virgin island water smells like some Caribbean mocktails to me wherelse diptyque smells more coconut ,

for untrained noses, fig and coconut do share the same accords..

hello bro.. i would go with the dreamer =P ..
clean sexy

Added on August 7, 2011, 9:26 pmthe scent is a love it or hate it kinda thing, some people will find it obnoxious or loud in a way..

the sillage is def there, its unique in a way that, once you smell it, you will recognize it straight without a doubt.

from my untrained nose point of view, it smells like dried up orange .. its like dark orange-y on the top notes, or kinda like iso-e super smell.. vetvier ..
mid and dry down is like woody with orangy..kinda like you take a wooden plank, whack it onto bunch of oranges and then smell it with half dry juice on the wood...


the perfume last at least 8-12hours, for ppl that resent the smell of this would def. have a headache over it.. i would really recommend light appliance on it as ppl sitting next to you would def. smell it clearly

if you like the mid/base notes of this perfume but dont really like the top, i would recommend you try out guerlain l'eau pour homme.. they somehow resembles to each other in a way...

dude.. def you would be able to pull it off..

to me it smells fresh/citrusy..then it turns dark in a way..sweet

my scent of today is even better..
super feminine..yet sexy =P

rose-y green, smells like potpourri in a way.

anyone feel daring to try it out?

hey mivec.
thanks... not sure if its good pricing, maybe online will be cheaper? i believe in lyn there are a few traders around, find those that you think its trustworthy,

Added on August 9, 2011, 3:19 pmAdP is a hit or a miss.. its nice, barbershop feel, but i find it not very long lasting although the sillage is awsome..
some ppl find its abit like a indian/keling scent..

for alternatives, maybe you could try ted lapduis p.h or if you like fresh lemony scent, you can choose boucheron pour homme..

Added on August 9, 2011, 3:24 pmthanks,

its called ol nose fatigue.. your nose had grew accustomed to the scent
instead of spraying it only with one scent, you can rotate them .. nothing wrong with overspraying with a few more shots, we are more tolerant with cologne scent than sweaty body odor scent..haha

body kouros = sweet vanilla

which gucci p.h?.

gucci = pencil woody..

gucci by gucci pour homme? = citrusy, tabaccoish


its like comparing wira 1.3 and satria 1.3.. =P

i prefer body kouros for a night out, dinner, dates, chilling

gucci p.h for semi-formal occasion/dates,

gucci by gucci, elegant, but very short lived.

hellosss...

err.. not sure about anyone and creed hype..i've find that creed's perfume is quite pricey and not sure if they are bang for the buck..i have a few creed official testing vials.. and i find them quite normal.. i was actually looking forward to sniff the official "aventus" but not sure how it will turn outs...

if given the same amount of budget i have, i maybe looking at montale or andy tauer..
