I was at Hide & Seek along Bussorah Street, Singapore just now sampling some Etat Libre d' Orange, Histoires de Parfums, Nobile 1942, Huitieme Art, Yosh & Mona Di Orio. They also have Tauer & Humiecki & Graef.

Spent a good afternoon there, chit-chatting with the manager and the associate.

I felt bad that I didn't pull any trigger there......might go back tomorrow.......

Hey bro... You want the New Harlem?? I have that... you wanna split mine instead if you can't get enough people. It's sitting in my cooler for months bro..

sure,let me know how much you offering? i can get a bottle for under rm400,so the savings will go to others who wanna join in too

guys, why does the scent of my perfume fades quickly? it fades after 1-2 hours after application. is it normal? i'm using a bvlgari perfume btw.

Yes Bro... will PM you when you need to split.. Anyway, that's real cheap... any other bonds you can get at that price? Actually New Harlem is not my cup of tea. If under 400... i wanna get a few more others.. Please let me know if you can get the below:
1. Great Jones
2. Cooper Square
3. New York Oud
4. Chez Bond
5. I Love New York for All

If you have all 5, i will buy all five... thanks again bro...

Thank you bro... you are the best!! Any deals on the niche i'm in...

brief review:
hanae mori edp opens very sweet,too sweet in fact,but after an hour,great,just great.
lalique white,the opening is really nice and calming,the citrus isnt from the lemon or bergamot itself but from the lemon leaves,which is more subtle,but nice and elegant enough.
animale animale,wow the opening is surprisingly similar to pure havane,but thats the only similarities,it stays almost the same scent throughout,very linear.i love the drydown of pure havane,the honey is gorgeous,but hey animale animale came out 1st before pure havane,so no slouch there for animale animale.the bottle is awesome,very wild.
will give them a full wearing next week

bro, Lalique White review pls

why you so fast one la.i was just editing and reviewing it briefly and u commented already lol.it last quite long on me surprisingly for a citrus scent

LOL. i tot u post the pics only. how bout the longevity and sillage?
which one do u think day wear or night wear?

lalique is definitely a day wear,but can be worn at night to friends or clients house,light enough for others to smell it,projection just nice for them to smell it,i was decanting it for a friend,and i can still smell it on my hand whole day.
hanae mori and animale animale are night wear,preferably big open space,the drydown of hanae mori is just manly,i cant say much bout animale animale yet as i havent really try it out yet.hanae mori is the one that i am most excited about since nvr smelled it before,its a blind buy,now thinking to get the edt version as well or not
overall quite satisfied with both bottle for their longevity and projection,but thats just simply testing,not full wearing yet

ohh thanks for the reviews.

u ordered from fragranceX? mind sharing ur experience with 'em esp. price and service?

I own a bottle of 125ml Lalique White. I also decant it in a 5ml glass vial for long days at class.

one day, I threw it in my bag (and forgot to take it out). and one fine day, I wore Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme to campus and I walked into the elevator and my goodness! the whole elevator smells of nice fresh lemon! beautiful! I thought to myself, "who is wearing this Lalique White?! definitely not me. I'm on Eau Extreme. Eau Extreme do have lemon but it is nowhere near this. I know this scent. it's darn good lol. whoever could be wearing it in campus must be like me (who goes deep into fragrances). damn it"

then I as I reached home, I could still smell the Lalique White. turns out I broke the 5ml decant which was in my bag. bag absorbed like the whole juice of my decanter. I had a good day smelling Lalique White brilliant-ness lol.

and yes, as Kelthuzad said, it smells of Lemon Leaf. not really lemon. a nice change I think as I personally find lemon a bit too mainstream.

My new addition to my petty collection:

Fille en Aguilles by Serge Lutens:


The very nice young lady at the Escentials also threw in a few samples: Himalaya, Original Vetiver, Aventus, Chergui and Daim Blond

you got them in Singapore? btw, those are really precious samples!!!!! happy for you. haha

Yup. In fact she did offer me some other samples such as Universalis, APOM, Honour, Dial etc but I felt that I already had too many samples I didn't take her offer.

Creed is more generous at giving out samples. The vial contains 2.5ml as compared to SL only 1 ml.


I find that for SL, though unique, you can always blind buy without even trying on it. I tried a few meant for women and surprisingly they smelled great on men as well.

You guys here seem to really like perfumes, but have u all ever thought of the kind of chemicals perfume contain?
