Not sure where you're from but you should be able to find it at major department stores or I can do a decant for you. PM me if you're interested.

SOTD - AHEB
Got this 100ml bottle this year from my local Parkson store for RM292. Slightly more expensive because it's a "Concentree". This is by far the most authentic creamy lemon I've come across. Just simply delicious and a masterpiece in my eyes. Although it's said to have been discontinued I still see it everywhere. Moderate projection and longevity on my skin.

How's longevity and unisex scores for this?

Haha but I like A*Men.

Got this 100ml bottle this year from my local Parkson store for RM272. Was ignoring this before because of many negative comments from frags community. As you can see by my usage, this is my goto scent. Boring scent maybe but I like it and can't deny this is one of the few quality fresh scents out there. Will buy it again when my current one runs out and I can see it'll be very soon from now. Good projection and longevity on my skin.

Just one. It's marketed for women.

SN is having additional 10% off promotion again. It ends 16-Jul-2013. Time for shopping

Yeah but normally I would add a cheap eye gel to get free shipping. Thinking to get Ambre sultan from them instead of Fx after the bad experience I had with Fx.

This is my #3 favorite together with DHI. As you can see by my usage, I just can't get enough of this. The waxy iris note in this is just simply gorgeous. Although marketed for men, I think this can easily be unisex. Got my 1st bottle from BBW Dec last year for RM167 and 2nd one (backup) Feb this year for RM149 during their Dior promotion. Moderate projection and longevity on my skin.

Was thinking of blind buying this Dreamer but I see mixed results on performance. Maybe it's been reformulated? On fragrantica it gets compared to Le Male? Does it really smell like it?

Two of my vials were leaking, one vial with card missing and batch code on bottle/box of my 24 Gold doesn't match. I don't get good longevity as people said. I did a test on paper strip and result was the same. Luckily they shipped mine via DHL Express but I don't dare to buy from them again.

Guess I'm the only unlucky one. Hope you get yours soon and let me know if the batch code matches.

SOTD - DHI (2011)
This one needs no introduction. It truly lives up to the hypes. Got my first bottle last year from my local Parkson store for RM305 and RM20+RM30 discount/promotional vouchers in return. Didn't know BBW had it but managed to grab this tester bottle as backup Feb this year for RM170. Love at first sniff at the store but thought it was too fem that they had given me a women frag instead. However, it didn't take me long before I finally accepted it and made the purchase. Just noticed this morning that the color of the juice for tester is lighter. Both bottle, scent and performance are the same except for note breakdown listed on the back of tester bottle. Moderate projection and good longevity on my skin.

I'm not familiar with niche but I will vote Leather Oud from your list :-
1. Dior privee line la collection Bois D'Argent
2. Dior privee line la collection Leather Oud +1
3. Chanel Les Esclusif Bois des Iles
4. Bond no9 I love New York for All
5. Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud Concentree

and my wish list is a long one. Ambre Sultan should be one from my wish list that will be materialized soon.

Will get it from SN. I think they recently re-stocked their Serge Lutens frags so I guess it should be fresh. How much is Bois D'Argent at Parkson selling?

That's really really really expensive

I guess Serge Lutens is one of the few affordable niche.

SOTD - Pure Malt
Trying this again today.

Not sure how many variation of oud out there but the oud in Ferrari Essence Oud gave me headache though.

My SOTN was Chergui.

I don't have a full bottle of Chergui. Got a decant from bro Astroboy22 together with Nasomatto Black Afgano and Pardon recently. This is what I think of it after only a full wearing. Good projection and longevity on my skin but not beast mode. The scent is nothing I've smelled before and very complex, at least to my nose. I get very middle eastern vibe. I like its complexity but I'm not sure if I wanna smell like a walking spice shop though. Have to give it a few more full wearings. Maybe it will grow on me.

SOTD - Creed Silver Mountain Water
Trying this sample today. Picked this one up during my last purchase with fragX. This one reminds me a bit of Davidoff Champion Energy.

Yeah, when oud isn't the main player. I'm OK with Fahrenheit Absolute, M7 Oud Absolu, 24 Gold and Versace Oud Noir.

IMHO, it should be a safe blind buy. Nothing polarizing but as bro kelthuzad has pointed out, longevity is a wide known issue although I didn't try it on my skin. Sniffed this one before but just didn't do it for me.

Bought some cheap aroma oils (lavender, grapefruit and vanilla) at the mall this morning just for fun. Their rose oil is similar to the one in Ferrari Essence Oud but not quite the same as in Coco Mademoiselle. Anyone bought it just to familiarize with the scents? Googled it up and found this site :-

I'm thinking of getting a wine chiller. Found this one priced at RM999 and it seems to be very expensive :-

Found this interesting documentary on perfume by BBC. Thought of sharing it if you guys haven't already seen it :-

Sniffed it during my flight transit in Dubai a couple of months ago. The annoying Chinese SA (I'm Chinese too) was promoting me their Eros while my eyes were hunting for Oud Noir. Didn't check the price. Everything is expensive at Dubai duty free.

Black is a solid frag. Sniffed it at my local frag shop a few months ago. The lady boss (30&up) recommended me this as she likes it on a man. Opening reminded me of Ridsect. Doesn't necessary mean it's a bad thing, I just prefer MiP more

SOTD - HM (EdT)
Got this 100ml bottle cheap during SN promotion off recommendation from fragcomm. This one opens up with candy sweet floral fruity notes. Has that L'Eau d'Issey vibe. A little too much for my taste but I like the dry down better. Although marketed as unisex I think it's probably leaning a little towards the fem side. Good projection and longevity on my skin.

The lady boss of my local frag shop told me Black has been discontinued. I didn't see it anywhere but SN has it cheap at RM152.50.

TF BO seems like an interesting gourmand. Good to see that you are building up your wardrobe with quality frags. Me on the other hand, is trying to get rid of unwanted frags.
