SOTD - PAPH

It just so happens that my SOTD is Prada too. Had a little drama with this one as well. Sampled it from a 9ml mini dab-on. Liked the scent and its longevity so much I bought a 50ml shower gel to go with it so I could notice the differences. After my mini ran out, I got myself a full sized bottle but was disappointed as it had poor longevity and scent was a bit different. I thought I had a fake bottle. It lacked one note I digged so much that was missing from the mini. I even contacted luxasia and PRADA to confirm on reformulation/new packaging but got no reply. I compared it with a tester (smaller PRADA on bottle) at Eraman and the scent matched the mini.

After some googlings, I found out PRADA started making fragrances with a company called Puig of Spain in 2003 (joint-venture) and later PRADA sold all of its shares (fragrances only) to Puig on February 23, 2011. Probably that explains the new packaging and perhaps reformulation (to save cost).

Eventually I found the original (smaller PRADA on bottle) and bought it.

For those thinking to get DH/DHS/DHI, don't expect vintage version from the picture. I got all 3 from them and they are of new packaging.

I only discovered bestbuyworld in 2011 and as far as I know they only had it up for sale once and it was selling like hotcakes. I was totally ignoring it at that time due to huge negative comments from frag comm.

Not sure about the comparison with Chergui and Tobacco Vanille but I recently sampled Pure Malt and personally, I prefer MK more with that beautiful tobacco note. However, I don't get monstrous projection and longevity out of it though.

Ohhhh... too bad blink.gif cos really cannot get any gd deal for Chanel anywhere...except our retail departmental store. Think i will head back to Parkson for it.

Had a sniff at Egoist during weekend, not to my liking, fr top to drydown, even at cool aircon environment. Try my best to find any positives from it but... Also, my gal boo-boo it outright saying it smelled like sharp sourich pissy & kinda medic, the SA too & also all the gals i stopped to ask to sniff on my wrist...not a welcoming scent to them all, haha.

I had a sniff on Antaeus, Pour Monsieur and Egoiste again while collecting my BdC shower gel yesterday. I couldn't accept the scent of Egoiste before but actually like it now. It has this sweetness I like but still not enough to add it to my to-buy list. I'd say it's an acquired taste.

Wow, for MK to be preferred to PM is something else as i love PM to bits. Heard good reviews on MK & also conflicting views on its projection & longevity...unless can sample it myself, probably will not blind buy it eventhough RM90 for 75ml is a great deal smile.gif

My local Parkson Dior counter has a vintage DH tester. I didn't detect any differences like others said right off the bat. Didn't do side by side comparison though. Where did you get your vintage bottle?

I also sniffed original Aramis yesterday. I find Antaeus and original Aramis have similar vibe to NRFH. I checked their notes breakdown and they all have patchouli and oak moss/musk. I think NRFH may be up your alley. What's your take on the scent of NRFH and original Aramis?

Astroboy22,
Thanks for the pure malt, pure havane, and musc ravageur..

I wasted no time to try the most hyped up one of them all, musc ravageur..

I smell a more complex and refined V&R Spicebomb... I think its the cinnamon which was very prominent... When it settles, then the vanilla kicks in... It remains musky throughout..

For its price, I think would rather get a Spicebomb for the same vibe.. Just my humble untrained opinion.. Peace out guys biggrin.gif
