I tried Davidoff Leather Blend at Parkson  klcc and bought it on the spot. 

2014 has been an exciting year for me as my taste has evolved into more challenging animalic/classic floriental and chypre. Thanks to the support of my fellow fragheads, my collection is still kept at manageable level. I wish you all a blessed new year ahead! My heartfelt condolences goes to victims and families of QZ8501 and flood in East Coast of West Malaysia. Hopefully 2015 will bring us good lucks and health.

going forward i will be sharing lots of perfume quick takes when i feel lazy to do a full review...

so for today will be doing this one from Prada - King of Soapy Scent, their Luna Rossa.

When it came out i did not bother to give it a sniff as the bottle look so un-luxury, in fact cheapie... Came across internet where ppl linked the extreme as cheaper alternative of Tobacco Vanille, hence during lunch i went to Sephora near my office look see look see however they do not have the extreme, just the normal.

watever so i did one spray on my back right hand the luna rossa, man it is nice minty orangy lavender. Clean, soapy (very less compare to Prada Amber). The lavender here surely is very high quality lavender absolute, has the vibe of Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge but the diff is the mint in prada more cooling and the base is hold together by ambroxan (synthetic amber) which overall very nice modern fougere. longevity 7hrs and nice sillage, average on the projection.

IMO one of the best lavenders in the market not including niche. Wanna try lavender but dunno where to start, look here

Thanks to davidpf for the heads-up. I managed to secure 2 bottles of Acqua di Parma during my short 30 mins stay at the warehouse sales. I was there quite late, around 4pm and most of the good stuffs were all gone by then. The Colonia Intensa was the last bottle. Planned to procure one or two L'Artisan but all gone as well.



Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa
Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa Oud
Bulgari Jasmine Noir (for the better half)
Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Bloom (for the better half to complete her Incanto collection)
Hermes Voyage d'Hermes (this unisex fragrance is quite good actually I was quite astonished there were still some leftover when I was there - probably it was due to its price; at RM150 for 70ml (3 x 35ml), you can get 2 bottles of 100ml at that price)
