if i buy perfume from us, how to make sure it's not hold in custom? any tips?
*
I received my perfume weekly from all over the world, none of them stuck in custom except if the sender declared it with stupid name or wrote the description not so clear. But if they do got stuck, don't worry because they (custom) will sent you a letter letting you know the item is already in their possession and ask you to come down to the office to verify the item. Perfume don't have any tax (from my past years experience), so don't worry about paying them.

If you can communicate directly to your sender/friends in US, just let him know to declared it as used cosmetic/cosmetic sample/used toiletries etc.. And on the safe side ask him to declared value below $30 & gift option.. But the declaration is no problem because i did received a perfume value more than $500 in a single box with no problem or duty..

Happy hunting...

^a rare one, how's the smell? and how much did it cost? sweat.gif
*
It's very dark fragrance indeed.. If you have a chance/already smell his little brother Duro, it's more darker than that. No sweet/floral at all, just pure masculine..

Start off with velvety smoky and earthy smells, maybe thrown some oud/wood in there.. The coffee is really nice in this one.

Not suitable for daily wear or even be worn LoL. Just a cult thingy which will cost you pretty high bucks, you may look around RM580 (when it first out)-RM1,170 (highest price since it sold out) per 30ML extrait de parfum..

where to bought this ?
*
For Black Afgano the only place that have it right now is eBay.. But keep in mind the seller will overcharge you. They retail just for $185 but since the rarity of this bad boy they can be high as $350 per bottle..

If you're interested with others offering from the Nasomatto, you check check it here:

First in Fragrance (German Based Store)

Lucky Scent (US Based Store)

Nasomatto Webstore

Hope it's help..

^ i guess...strong coffee note?
*
Lot's of review said the coffee is more refined in this one than Pure Coffee and have a lots of pepper but i didn't smell it yet though coz i'm wearing other scent today (SoTD: Nasomatto Pardon). Will test it out this evening or tomorrow..

EDIT:

Just a quick impressions. I just sprayed it on paper strip, for the first few second on the first spritz i got the resemblance to Pure Malt boozy cherry accord and Pure Havane honeyed accord. Then come the aromatic spicy (maybe from chili pepper). Not like MJ Bang (which is blast of pepper bomb). The hint of coffee is definitely there but i can't say much since it just on paper strip, it definitely work differently on skin :-).

...wanted to ask, how u guys fill up these vial bottles?
*
You can spray directly from the fragrance bottle to the vial itself (if you have steady hand of course). Or just buy some cheap funnel to spray it inside the vial.

I recommend to buy aluminum/metal funnel since it can be re-useable and the scent can be wash off. And please avoid re-using plastic funnel since the scent will never go off the plastic.

And never ever re-use the same vial/bottle for different perfume over and over again. To ensure the quality of your perfume, 1 vial just for 1 perfume and that it.

Happy decanting..

mydin ada jual ka?ok will go there to check.but made of plastic or glass?


Added on October 25, 2011, 3:22 pm

usually i will spray it directly from the bottle to the vials,but some are really hard to do it that way,and some of the juice will spill out,heart ache cry.gif .but if we are to use funnel,the amount of juice left on the funnel after spraying is also almost similar to the amount being spilt right?

btw mrbs84,where do you get your empty vials bottle from?
*
Mydin i don't know but you can go Daiso (Japaneses Store), they sold 10ML and bigger bottle, last time i check it. But the price is expensive!

Actually the perfume left in the funnel is not that much waste when you spill it without using funnel. Because it will drain inside the vial it self :-)..

I PM'ed you the vials info..

i heard dior homme intense is here...any1 know the price?
*
I believe the price is around:

50ML : RM 210+
100ML : RM 300+

They also have 150ML, not sure how much the price.

And now they have 2 formulation of Dior Homme Intense. Anything date before April 2011 is the original formula and beyond May 2011 is the new formula which the cocoa and vanilla is not that strong.

haha..yups..so true.but somehow the ladies here are really shy in giving out compliments on how we smell. But there are a definite sign in which u can see in their faces when they love being beside u or just trying hard to run away from u..haha

there was this time i wore angel man , and i actually made the mistake in going out after 10 minutes after i sprayed 2 spray of a*men (usually i go out after 30 -40 minutes after i put on angel men) . the top notes of it really annoys people..hahaha.. in the elevator i can see the face of this girl (smoking hot)  trying to cover up her nose but trying not to offend me ( what a nice girl).. and in the car my gf keeps pushing me away when i came close to her..hehe.. BUT after an hour or so..............its heaven. my gf really just can't let go of me. i got compliments from friends right away.

yes its true that some frag that we love can offend others..but if u know how to apply it, u might turn it around. the trick is experiment ( close range spray, far apart spray, spray and walk in the mist, spray inside shirt, whatever works.)

p.s : musc ravaguer got almost a hundred positive reviews on basenotes n less than 20 hate votes...that really tells us something right ..
*
I own a bottle of Musc Ravageur (M.R) and IMO it's the same league like SL MKK.. It's a dirty, sexy and complex but much more wearable than MKK.. People in US/EU like their oriental that way, where people here (the hot climate) didn't like it that heavy except those Arabian dude LoL. Coz that kinda fragrance do wonder in the cold weather.

What makes M.R sexy is on the heart/base, where the vanille start to come out and settle down those spices. The top is way much clove/spices/cinnamon.

Since you like MFK, can try APLS.. Maybe you like that one better..

Cheers

i really would like to see someone do a split bottle here. i once did a split of memoir men from amouage ,100ml with 4 of my friends..after the split each of us got 25ml of memoir men n it cost me RM 210 a bottle. it sure is not much(25ml) but for this kinda of fragrance i really want to keep only for special moments. after all these months i still have 40% of it..(^^)

n today is one of the day that i want to wear this perfume.a perfect for a night out with my girl .

read review: http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Rochas/...s-Men-1426.html
smell alike Bond No9 New Haarlem (RM800++ fragrance!)
*
I own both of them, TBH they're not quite similar. I can see why people said it's quite similar, maybe in the mocha/coffee note they have, other than that it's not the same. Both of them is created by same perfumer (maurice roucel).

You can try layer Rochas Men with Mugler Pure Coffee to get similar vibe like New Haarlem biggrin.gif .

hi.any of u tried thiery mugler a*men the taste of fragrance?just slightly different from the other flankers?is it available at sogo counter?
what about pure shot?
*
A*Men Taste of Fragrance (ToF) is very different from other. The top is peppery and the dry-down is very similar to Pure Coffee with the vanilla+coffee mix.

If you looking for Pure Coffee this should be a replacement for ya.

Pure Shot already available to purchase on TM us webstore, retail at $85 :-).. They also re-stock A*Men ToF..

bro,i have not tried pure coffee yet,i only have the original a*men and pure havane,is the dry down similar with any of these 2? and where can i find Taste of fragrance??i went to 1U counter,they said dont have at their counter yet ,sigh.
*
Nope, the dry down on ToF is similar to Pure Coffee but with nicer coffee touch. The opening maybe will remind you of Pure Havane but just a few second then they go separate way, where ToF is pepper + coffee. The pepper is not like MJ Bang, it's very nice and aromatics.

I'm not sure where you can get it here in Malaysia, i got mine from my buddy in US. I also buying the Pure Shot from him, if you want the ToF just PM'ed me.

i see...what about the longevity on u?i find that the longevity for pure havane is not that superior actually.btw how much u get for ToF from US?i dont really dare to blind buy this lol.

are those nasomatto on your avatar?do u have black afghano or pardon?how they smell like ya?u got it from your buddy too?
*
Longevity wise i think it's kinda poor, it's on the range like Pure Havane. I get around 6-8 hours. Not power house like the original of course LoL..

Yeah it's Nasomatto. I own all the Nasomatto (for men), you can buy them directly from Nasomatto web store or site like LuckyScent/FiF. They offer international shipping to Malaysia.

Pardon remind me of L'Instant Extreme, just on the dry down. The opening is more woody smoky, probably from the oud and some hint of floral. If you like L'Instant Extreme dry down you might wanna check this out.

Black Afgano is hard for me to describe, too much going on with the perfume. Definitely they have oud, coffee and tobacco (maybe from the hash). And have some clay smells as well, very unique.

Easiest one to wear from the house is Absinthe & Silver Musk.

*EDIT*

BTW for A*Men ToF i pay US retail price for it. If not mistaken it's around $95.

For A*Men i think it's easily available here in Malaysia. I got mine in Sephora (SG).

Pure Shot now is available exclusively online only at Mugler store, maybe later this year it will be available in Malaysia.
