Bro.. Yes, the packaging of eight & bob comes in a book. The parfum is placed inside a book.. yes, means they sort of cut a hole inside a book for the parfum.

Eight & Bob has mild citrusy opening.. and the dry down is more woody and powdery. Very classy type of "english" fragrance. FM's new parfum is woody all the way and it dries down to a little sweet like vanilla kinda sweetness. Odin is dark... It's smoky and woody... very unique.

In terms of packaging, i have to give it to eight & bob. But it terms of scent, i prefer FM because of the complexity of the fragrance, it changes every 2hrs or so on my skin. Just like woody but changes to a different type of woody scent overtime.. maybe sandalwood to cedar wood to etc.. etc... can't really figure out what's the main woody ingredient.

the satu utama Chanel mini boutique no longer sells the les exclusifs. The place where the les exclusifs used to be now displays the allure homme range.

collected my prize finally.i dont know what to say bout the bottle.but the scent is sweet,this is Davidoff's take on paco rabanne's 1 million,quite similar.i dont really like 1 million,so naturally i dont really like this as well.i dont think i will keep this,gonna sell it la i suppose

Cheers for this. Will have to take a look. Hopefully they have a decent range to try.

Tried looking for some in SG but only got the usual big brands. Was tempted to pick up Lacoste Vert/Pure though. Very very similar to Hugo Boss Just Different and Bottled Night I think.

I'm looking at Davidoff Cool Water and 212 VIP as well but I already have too many "night" scents. Looking for something fresh and daytime like Polo Blue, Davidoff Champion, Issey Miyake pour HOmme.

Gotta find Nautica Voyage and Izod Izod in Malaysia.

PS: Btw, does anyone know if Perfume Malaysia does decants/samples? Just noticed they have Azzaro Chrome.

Went to test few les exclusif range. 1 thing caught my attention : chanel sycomore = lalique encre noire

Anyone using Givenchy Gentlemen Only? Hows the scent?

its because both are vetiver based. I love coromandel tho. very nice.

Was in the lift at the mall today, a couple walked in.

Smelt something which caught my attention........... Watermelons !!! Awesome smell, but i do not know what fragrance it is. Its very strong, the whole lift is filled with the smooth, sensual watermelon smell.

Not sure if its the lad or the lady wearing as the smell seems unisex. Either one can wear it or both of them are wearing it. However, i think it may be a men's fragrance.

What i know is the smell is friggin awesome, and strong enough to fill the whole lift. Definitely smells like a sweet watermelon. A very pleasant smell.

Any idea on what it may be ?

Signature Perfume : 21 cOSTUME NATIONAL

D&G Number 3 L'Imperatice is melon based scent

hi bro,

thx for reply. Will definitely check it out. Can i find it in department stores ?

thanks alot bro

Quick question: what perfume to procure when in Paris?

emmm......maybe ck one summer 2013?

I just tested this the other day. I am at neutral with this. There is this heavy bitter citrus scent on this.
CK one summner 2012 is better in my opinion.

After a few times wearing Amouage Epic, i finally try back my cdg... this time i try spray it like 6" away from my chest... i was blown away in a very positive way.. hey why i didnt get this vibe before....

the clove is very distinct from the opening then the honey, sandalwood, cinnamon come out to join the party.. yum very depth 1 spray last whole day scent.. under sunny day, its strength multiply.... will use it more often edi

My next to get list after my fav rive gauche will be egoiste by chanel... According to Jacques Polge, this is his best ever and Basenotes have rave reviews on this guy..


Attached thumbnail(s)

egoiste isnt for everyone. some may find it too pungent. but it is a good scent. I have it and it is one of my faves. My advice is to test it out before buying.

the scent is surprisingly similiar to body shop's sandalwood & ginger home fragrance oil.

i know... it is strong it scream attention initially it has ko me few months back, but after sniffing alot of bottles, and try to get used to lots of notes, well i am sucks in tat still.. lol my current line up really like on each end of the scale: eau sauvage, prada amber ph, rive gauche, eau des bavx, amouage epic, cdg, dhi.. just no room for aquatic and gourmand

go to essential oil counter and sniff every available bottle. it helps in learning how to identify the notes properly. That's what I did

haha very hard to find such counters le in penang

found another very underrated frag at parkson today...
lanvin avant garde...really nice bottle too. price rm290 for 100ml.
sweet, tobacco, warm..
