Hi guys, please help me to choose base on your experience and opinion:

Paco 1 million
Coolwater
F by Feragomo

Do you find 1 million too sweet ?
Some feedback says its too sweet smelling.

Try this, Nikos Sculpture:

Eh, can do survey ?
Since so many scent enthusiast here, can share how many bottles of different type of cologne you have now ?

Issey L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme is a fresh citrus fragrance. Not bad but can be a bit sharp and overpowering if over applied. Good projection so be careful not to offend people.

Hey can you elaborate more on Lacoste Essential ?
Is it citrusy or is it sweet ?

This just came in the mail today. F By Ferragamo Black.


First impression:

This is really a Black scent. Very warm, masculine, sensual and classy. Truly a fragrance for evening or formal function. Smelling this projects a mental image of a matured professional, confident and romantic. Projection is medium as it is not too attention grabbing or loud. But when in the scent range definitely detectable.

Notes: Lavender, tonka beans, pepper, labdanum.
Not suitable for: People who are looking for fresh and young scents. After all this is a black scent.

Fragrance do get affected by sweat. In your case, I would say go for citrus/fresh aquatics. These fragrances have sharp and frosty notes that will mask your sweat. Avoid musky, woody. earthy scents as they might turn bad with sweat.

For your case, try Aqua Di Gio , L'eau D'Issey, and other summer/aquatic scents.

Wanna ask does anyone here know about getting fragrances in Langkawi ?

Going there during the weekend and with there being duty free and all.... are they really cheap there ? Any recommendation on outlets ?

Your price is better

Tested Thierry Mugler Pure Havane the other day and I have to say OMG ... such a strong and sweet perfume. I am a fan of sweet perfume but NOT that sweet. Tobacco, honey and vanilla ... makes me feel like i am drenched in honey and feel like running to the shower.

Put the tester paper strip in my pocket and after a whole day of friction, I took it out and sniff the dry down. The dry down is really nice, when it is no longer so overpowering.

Needs experience and skill to apply, if you can pull it off.

LOL you guys are fraghead to the max.
Not a cheap interest.

My next muse is a tea scent. Looking at

Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir
Gucch Pour Homme II

Both seems to get bash for poor longevity. Which would you recommend ?
Any other recommendations ?

Actually Desire Red is VERY similar to Nikos Sculpture. What Sculpture has in extra is a frosty note from the benzoin so it is fresher. Fresh + sweet = winner.

Sample report. I have here 2 samples.


I was excited about the mint note but it was a letdown. I detect no mint and no pear leaf note. Instead this smell to me like Polo Blue. The first fragrance I ever bought. I find Polo Blue to be annoying boring and so is XY. Bad longlivety too. Pass.



I'm not too keen about sharp citrusy aquatics that seem to pierce the nose. But when i sampled this, what a huge surprise. Its sharp but never going overboard. It is very comfortably fresh but not in an aquatic way but in a green way. Tomato leaves ! I cannot imagine anyone can find this offensive. It projects well and it gives you a casual vibe. This goes to my wish list !

Maybe bro wazzapp can do bulk orders ?

I find tobacco fragrance to be overpowering in these weather. It is cloying for the first 2 hours but the dry down is nice.
Don't think I can survive through the first few hours. Tried Pure Havane and D&G The One ....made me dizzy. But after >4 hours drydown is nice. How la?

my modest collection missing gourmand.

If not mistaken Pure Havane is not limited edition. Only Pure Malt and Pure Coffee is limited edition.

Just tested CK One shock. I just can't agree with the first 2-3 hours of any tobacco base frags. Too cloying but I always love their dry down . That is too friggin unfortunate.

Is that a F by Salvatore Ferragamo bottle i see ?
My bottle is same as the top one. Maybe different year or manufacture. Smell the same ?

My bottle also F Black .... very classy smell
So the top one is asian packaging ?
