Rose is listed in the notes in fragrantica. But there is definitely rose in Brit, and i love it.

A note of caution, LIDGE is not exactly cocao dominant. I find the anise to be much stronger making the scent to be slightly sour. Personally I won't not wear such fragrance in Malaysian weather but if you're always in air conditioned room then can consider.

One thing to note, when going clubbing in asia especially, the ladies prefer fresh scent compare to gourmand bombs. Your chances of attracting the fancy of ladies are slightly higher. I find Bvlgari Aqua to be and excellent choice. Not the Marine flanker though, after sometime Marine smells like fish.

LOL, that's why it is questionable to have salty notes in fragrance.

Yes is available in malaysia and used in cooking. It smells slightly sweet+sour. If you smell Armani Code in the middle notes (2 hours in) you will notice there is a sourish smell. That is the anise working. Just like in LIDGE, you will get the sourish smell on top of your cacao. Better try before buying.

All the listed frag are safe. Maybe there is a risk in Coolwater. I find the opening for Cool Water very synthetic , but once it settles down it is ok.
The safest of all, is Polo Blue. Can't imagine anyone can be offended by smell of cucumber and melon. Light , airy and transparent.

Any one here got experience with Guerlain Homme Intense ? Care to give some opinion ?

Yes I have personally tested the non-intense version. Very nice opening but after the opening is gone, it became too mild. But i didn't test the intense version. Is the intense version fresh or it is very boozy and woody ?

You don't need to buy fragrance. You air travel miles point can redeem them free

Maybe you bought during Christmas period? I know in Europe, almost everything comes to a standstill from Christmas till new year due to holidays and Strawberrynet ships from Sweden.
Maybe same applies to Fragrancex

Strawberrynet is reliable.

Give your review on kenzo power

At least we can see Dior testers around. So you can get them if you don't care about the bottle. Chanel, don't even see tester version.

I usually go with strawberrynet. Basically more reliable/faster shipping and prices not too big difference.

FragranceX: Frag price is cheap but shipping min RM50. If you buy alot until qualify FREE SHIPPING, it is actually by sea ...takes few months.
Strawberrynet: Frag price not impressive but if you look at it, the international shpping the charge you is 10% of your frag price. If you by RM150 frag, shipping only RM15. Where to find such cheap international air shipping ? But basically the higher price of the frag is used to offset the real price of air shipping. Just example the real discounted price of your perfume is RM 120, then the additional RM30 is basically to cover your shipping. But add in a shaving cream or soap, then your frag ships to you free. I have personally 4 purchases so far. All come below 14 days.

You take bro edwardleong case. Kenzo power 50 ml for RM100. He is only charged shipping of RM10. Where can you actually find a nice packaging and international air shipping for RM10 ? So basically if you take away the hidden shipping cost, i think the strawberrynet discounted price for KP could have been maybe RM70 ...which is ...goood.

I was attracted to that as well. In terms of value I'd say it is a go. Guerlain for that price is awesome. Was very tempted but I can't get my mind away from a cucumber, lime that captivated me recently. I'd rather go for that than a blind buy.

LOL, CK One Summer 2012. I know many don't think highly of CK, but this one just makes me feel fun, young and happy. Plus my gf likes it. Still thinking if it is worth of cause longevity will be an issue.
Get the gurlain bro, support you
Really curious about the rhubarb notes in it.

I have enough heavy scent. I'm looking for green watery scent (not aquatic marine scent). Shortlisting Lacoste Essential and CK One Summer 2012. Suggestions are welcomed.

Working today too. Scent of the day, Pure Havane.
Today I tried spraying on fabric instead of skin. Damn, it is a beast when sprayed on fabric. I guess my skin just reduces the strength.

I do as well, but I only choose skin scent (light projection) fragrance. No bombs in the house.

How long did it took ?

Impressive indeed. You manage to qualify for the free shipping ?
