QUOTE(killdavid @ Apr 3 2013, 05:10 PM) LIDGE is different from DHI indeed. I find DHI to be easier to wear. The anise in LIDGE makes it a little sour. When i tested lidge i keep picturing starwberry flavoured chocolate. Hmm... strawberry flavoured chocolate?? that is interesting... Damn i got poison by tom ford edi... keep looking at their superb bottle.... Grey Vetiver or Black Orchid lol

QUOTE(Joey-kun @ Apr 3 2013, 11:11 AM) lol mitsouko dosent smell like attar oil, it smells like peach, roses, jasmine and vetiver. The Parfum version would be quite strong in scent of the notes that I have mentioned. 90s isnt vintage yet, vintage perfumes usually are about 20 - 30 years ago. But good start. How much did you buy it for? lol my nose dun get that yet. i got it less than rm90 . how do u guys train ur nose anyway ?

You train your nose by sniffing essential oils and and also by analyzing the scent and try to make up the mixture according to the notes. It does take time and you have to sniff many bottles before you can tell easily what you are smelling.

QUOTE(edwardleong @ Apr 3 2013, 01:32 PM) IS Guerlain niche or designer? I am dreaming of getting L'instant de Guerlain Extreme, but i have dior homme intense edi, should i? or should i go with the normal L'instant? Currently looking at: -Dior Fahrenheit Absolute -Spicebomb -L'Instant de Guerlain -Tom Ford Black Orchid for my next bottle.... only can go for 1 bottle Guerlain isnt niche, but they are a perfume house, they specialize in perfume and cosmetics, which is why i prefer their stuff as Jean Paul Guerlain really knows how to make perfumes. normal l'instant smells a lot like dark chocolate. the extreme one has a very strong cocoa accent that is sweet. The EDT is not sweet.

I dont get any strawberry from it. just sweetened cocoa.

Lol who said anything about buying? Just hunt in shopping malls and when you see a store selling essential oils (NOT fragrance oils) just sniff the bottles and remember how they smell.
Anyways, any local online perfume stores to recommend? I wanna get eau savauge for a low price. It's the best after bath scent, next to Hermes' concentre d orange verte.

Good luck
