Actually BdC is one of my favourites among my other fresh scents. Half of the juice is already gone from my 100ml bottle that I purchased last year. I even pre-ordered its shower gel last month from Parkson and still waiting for it.

I think Starwalker smells OK but very subtle . It smells a bit like women Clinique Happy to me, correct me if I'm wrong biggrin.gif

Bdc is not bad, solid n safe release from Chanel.. I like it but sold.it off coz compare to earlier releases from jacque polge, I understand y alot ppl from basenote say it lacks flair, boring... Pour monsieur, pm concentre, egoiste, antaeus, platinum egoiste etc..

I do understand that people have high expectation from this house. Now they don't take chances. Most of their recent releases (non exclusif lines) are mass appealing. It's on the weaker side compared to other high end designers like Dior and Guerlian. Having said that I own and love another one from Chanel, which is AHEB. I personally think it's a masterpiece although projection and longevity are weak on my skin.

Hmm I dont really know much about Guerlain, however dior still manage to come out with stunning beauty such at dior homme cologne and eau sauvage parfum...

as for chanel, EB and allure homme sport cologne are very nice citrus in the sea of mass citrus sport market nowdays... I really like their tonka bomb EE,

Dior is currently my most favorite designer house. I have the entire Dior Homme flankers except for cologne version. I even have backup bottles of Dior Homme and Dior Homme Intense. That is how much I used to love them. I have yet to sample Dior Fahrenheit Absolute and get decant of Eau Sauvage Parfum to sample. I recently sniffed Eau Sauvage original and thought it was OK. I might get that one if I like the parfum to complete my collection.

Second favorite designer house is PRADA. I love their Amber and especially Amber Intense.

Third one is Guerlain. I absolutely love their LIDGE, which I purchased recently. I have yet to give it a full wearing. This might replace my current "signature scent", which is PRADA Amber Intense. My wife says OK for Amber Intense but dislikes LIDGE.

Nice choices u have there bro :-) I cant take dior homme but I love dior homme intense so much... Eau sauvage is the culprit that makes me turn off with all the modern citrus, sport, aquatics... Well pour monsieur do play some part too lol....

Dior, chanel, and prada for me are the best designers around... Rive gauche I felt is more masculine version of prada, and paphi is divine, however price is a problem for me...

You and the others have exquisite taste. I sniffed Chanel classics before but I think my nose are not ready to appreciate them yet.

PRADA Amber Intense is selling at RM350 for a 100ml bottle at my local Metrojaya store and they only have 100ml bottle in stock. Was searching for it for sometimes. Eraman, Parkson and Singapore duty free don't carry them so I ended up getting 50ml bottle from strawberrysnet.com for RM256. Not cheap. I don't usually pay retail price for fragrances but I really love it I had to get it.

I find fragrance prices at our duty free and Singapore's are no cheaper than online's. I recently traveled to UK and had flight transit in Dubai. Dubai duty free's Chanel fragrances are more expensive than Parkson's. However, London's duty free is cheaper. I got my Guerlain LIDGE (75ml) at 43GBP and V&R Spicebomb (50ml) at 37GBP. The exchange rate was RM4.71.

Another cheaper place to shop for fragrances (other than online) are Lucky Plaza and Beauty Language (like sasa) in Singapore. However, they only carry popular designers. I remember I got a 212 tester from Beauty Language for RM150 (converted).

Haha no la bro... There are other sifus here have much exquisite taste than me such as bro Kel, astroboy, watzapp...

The sea of niche is still very far from my reach, so trying my best to seek out affordable nice designer.scent lo.... But yet still have to be less ppl use n unique...

U did some nice purchases, envy u so much...

rclxms.gif Thanks for the info. Now I know where to get once mine runs out. RM240 is very reasonable considering it a retail price plus you'll still get RM30 Parkson cash voucher. SN is selling at RM243.50 based on today's exchange rate excluding shipping fee.

haha, ya, do that. I gona get one on my next trip in couple weeks time. Weather has been wet & cool at my place now, so i'm using all these heavy-deep hitter a lot. 
Anyway, if Guerlain decided to bring this in, they will replenish the stock. 
On a separate scent, i'm interested to know if anyone have any experience in Mandarina Duck Pure Black & dun know what's the longevity and sillage like for this.

And i also have a sudden urge in Chanel's Egoist....having owned Platinum Eg which i adore & more in the the fresh scent kinda territory.
*
Haha bro egoiste n platinum egoiste are 2 diff scent.. Egoiste is vanilla rose sandalwood... Creamy, sweet n sexy
