I value my life lol
Bro, just share sth for laughter

Li-Ning racquets are made in China (whisper tone : and they cost RM 1,880.00)

Dior Homme Intenese? badass.
I would only spray DHI for short days in class like only 1 or 2 subjects a day (2 - 4 hours worth of class) and then like there's an outing with the chicks. if not, I wouldn't do it lol.

however, after a heavy downpour (night), I do find the Dior Homme a nice juice to lepak-lepak with my bros. even at the local malay gerais

LEGEND.

OKAY.. I'm done trolling and joking lol
about that perfume Bro Edward post. I respect's kelthuzad's opinion. however, why are they 'wrong' just because they are cheap? or even made in China, for that matter. I do have a question. or two

1. Prada Pour Homme = Channel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme / some say Chanel Allure Allure Homme Sport (but I lean more toward Eau Extreme)
*Prada isn't cheap. but they do smell similar.

2. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille vs L'Occitane En Provence Eau De Baux
*according to Astroboy, they're not the same. but ALMOST simalar. Eau De Baux isn't cheap


but when there's this RM 30 perfume which smells familar, it becomes wrong?

there are so many perfumes that smells like another.

Animale Animale = Pure Malt/ A*Men (I have not smelled it. but you get the idea. even if just the opening, still got similarity what)
Perry Ellis 360 Red = Giorgio Armani ADG
Davidoff = CREED Green Irish Tweed
SJ Unforgivable = CREED MI (very very very very smilar. but SJ Unforgivable isn't cheap)

so, it's ok to wear perfumes that smell similar to another bottle as long as they are not cheap or not made in China?

wow.when a joke needs explanation,it just isnt funny anymore,the same goes to my sarcasm.okay since explanation is needed,here goes:
products made in china not all are bad of course,and it has nothing to do with china,adoi,so if i use india as the origin,everything about india will appears??hahahaha aih what i meant is that china counterfeiters imitate a ferrari by making the red Ferrari F355 on the outside,and a used Pontiac Fiero on the inside,and it cost $10,000 only.now if you ask any real ferrari enthusiast,they will still fork out millions to get the real one than the imitation.if you need to ask why,i have nothing to say anymore...as this saying goes,dont get down to "their level",as they will beat u with experience

1stly,i dont know why other comparisons came out when the beginning its only about those rm30 "our version of" perfume bottle.
2ndly,even if we take those comparisons,what makes you so sure that cool water really copied green irish tweed?or other fargs u mentioned?they might or they might not,if they didnt then people that accuse that would be really wrong,for sure animale animale didnt copy pure havane,p.diddy likes millesime imperial so much that he creates his own version,and for that i dont respect him that much,i dont own unforgivable nor any celebrity endorsed fragrances,thats my stance with imitation.how would you like it if i copied your school projects(since you are a student,hence this example,i need to explain everything here you know)alter it a bit,submit it and claim its mine?i dunno,i am someone who's proud with my effort and my work,hence i respect the work of perfumers. i heard this from somewhere before "theres no substitute for the real deal if that's what you really like. It might take you longer before you're able to own the more expensive bottle, but it will be worth it when you got it."now i am very sure that the intention of those rm30 frags wants to copy and imitate the real bottles as the word "inspired by" is printed on the box,go to page 123 for confirmation

what i was thinking at the same time is that why they dont come out with something out of their own creation instead of rm30 "our version of...."?? i have tried sniffing many at hypermakets and watsons on these imitation perfumes,they smell very different from the scents they wanna imitate,so why tarnish the good name of the real products by taking their name on imitation bottle??because of "i dont care i just wanna make some money"??go sniff them before saying they smell the same.
for me,i recognise effort and talent,when something is made from 100% effort,it gets my support,same goes with a bottle of fragrance,when efforts are put in to create an original bottle,imitators just copied the recipe and try to replicate them,i am referring to these rm30 "our version of..." frags,which you woud never know what stuff they add into the bottle,as i have said before this bout the same thing whereby they can harm your health,you really think malaysian health ministry gonna check all this rm30 perfume companies??even non halal restaurants can get a halal sticker at the door nowadays..so since you are okay with buying and using rm30 "our version of" perfume,why dont you just buy fakes??1stly you can save so much money,2ndly they are more similar to the real thing than the rm30 "our version of" frags,lastly you even have the same bottle,so tell me...either you are (a)a buyer who buys fakes as well since they smell similar and no wrong and can save money or (b)someone who doesnt buy fakes,but why dont buy it since your points match fake bottles 100%?no wrong what,they smell similar

as you said bro,i would rather buy a bottle or anything that i have not heard of than imitation of branded goods,i dont mind using cap ayam brand

now may i know what the f@rk is this??

I am sorry. Didn't know my post of humour will end up this way
I don't mind paying for quality and established brand when comes to personal health care and beauty products coz I very kiasi... I rather buy a bottle of Brut or Adidas or Playboy frag than those inspired by... In fact I just got a bottle of Brut Musk for less than 30

And bro Kel, I do agree with ur smell similar not equal to copy statement.

Finally... My parcel has arrived... CDG packaging is somehow cheap...

Sprayed 1 spray of CDG on the back of my hand and it was really epic! I think this should be called as spicebomb, well deserved! Initial opening is so so strong, not for the faint heart...monstrous silage... Few feet can smell it.. All the spices come attack ur nose at once and will cannibalize any other scent wear by ur neighbour. One sniff will caused olafactory fatigue, after 5mins the all the spices calm down abit, and u get the harmony honey stirred using cinnamon and sandalwood

Just imagine u walk into an indian spice shop, the boss throw lots of spice powder like nutmeg, clove,coriander etc towards ur face, then only ask u sit down and have a cup of honey with cinnamon stick.

it got this enigmatic and medicinal vibe tat really can seduce ppl lol, couldn't stop sniffing my hand...

It is a very unique fragrance, nearest comparison would be chanel egoiste w/o the old man vibe.. I can see it can be versatile, just wait 15 mins for it to drydown before u leave ur house

If u really love spices, this is the one u must try...
Price wise: 140 for 50ml edp, which 1 spray can last u a day...

This is my 2 sent after trying out 1 spray of CDG edp


Attached thumbnail(s)

Just bought Tam Dao by diptyque over the weekend. They are having a 50 ringgit discount for their 100ml EDTs, so get it

So they are always asking on behalf of their boyfriend only..it wouldn't make me feel complimented either...

And I meant compliments, from random hot girls Looks like in our country, I can only dream

You lied to her? So she would think it's Creed perfume, but that would still smell nice right? If u want to really lie, why didn't u say Adidas perfume?

So Dior Homme Intense is too strong?

For me, I don't think I would buy a perfume which is too cheap or worse, made in China. We never know what they put in the perfumes, and some more if we use the perfume daily, we keep breathing the stuff in.

Just because 2 bottles of perfume smell the same to you, dosent mean it smells the same to other people. Everyone has a different perception of the same scent, based on their experience and memories. It's one of the fun things of perfumery.

Kenzo Power may be similiar to Guerlain Homme for example, but there are very subtle differences that you can only smell when you wear them side by side. Guerlain Homme is more "green" due to the rhubarb.

It's not about the cheapness of the perfume, but its the quality and the concept behind them that matters. for example, A*men and L'instant de Guerlain Pour Homme and Givenchy Play have the same concept which is chocolate, but A*men is more cotton candy artificial vanilla sweetness, L'instant is dark chocolate, lapsang souchong, elemi and sandalwood, and Givenchy play is plasticky chocolate.

Dont get counterfeit perfumes because 1) you dont know what they put in there and 2) dont expect them to smell or behave like the original in terms of longevity and the scent pyramid.

Kelthuzad & Joey-kun, I understand every single point you're pointing out.
Just one question. to we fragrance enthusiast, they do matter. Due to our passion in fragrance, we can detect it. but when go out in the public, how many people can actually tell?
but there are more people (bigger majority I mean) that just want to smell good. for an example bro Bingbangformula here. he just wants to smell good in campus.
"I just want to smell good" is the most common motive on why people buy and wear fragrances.
which is why Polo Blue, Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio, Chanel Allure Homme Sport are selling like hot cakes.

not many people dig fragrances like we enthusiast do.
that is my point.

so, they end up buying cheapo made in china or RM 30 fragrances or anything yang sama species like that only because "I just want to smell good", which I as a fragrance lover don't find it wrong at all. I rather them smelling like a cheapo than smelling their stinky smelly body odour which some jerks think it is soooo cool because it is masculine like that. yucks

Good Choice! One of my fav. from this house

1stly,from where does this made in china perfume comes from?i only mentioned fake ferraris from china.
2ndly,based on your points again,so its ok to buy fake perfumes as well since they are cheapo and better to use fakes than use nothing and smell stinky,right?just a yes or no answer will do for this.
3rdly,you said that when we go out in public,who can actually tell they are real or rm30 cheapies,well only 1 person will know....the wearer.i never wear it for others,whether they can tell or not,i dont care,but i do know.if not why would people buy a bottle costing thousands?its for personal indulgence
bro bigbangformula just wanted to smell good,yes thats his objective,but when he's here at this forum,we here are responsible to help out and educate a little bit on the health issues rather than just smelling good and i dont wish we get to hear he got skin cancer in "PErfume for guys v15" thread later.when we have the knowledge,we should let them know what is more recommend than to just smelling good.so if a guy comes up to u and said he wants a stress reliever,you just poke a cigarette to him??without telling him the side effects??
and based on your points again,you rather have them smelling like a cheapo than smelling their stinky smelly body odour which some jerks think it is soooo cool because it is masculine like that,yuck. now if i take back your previous statement bout cheapo and expensive original botlle comparison,you said whats wrong with using cheapo?now i would like to ask u back,whats wrong with not using any perfumes or deodarants but just body odour?it's personal preferance but you seems to despise them

Can wearing perfumes make someone have a higher risk of getting skin cancer? How about spraying it on the clothes,would that be better?

nah dont worry bro,i take this as a debate or discussion,to understand things better.even the best couples argued and patch up,thats how they become stronger and more understanding towards each other.dont let this scare you from posting whatever you want
