Majority of the young guys here wear the usual run-of-the-mill fresh aquatics (maybe due to our climate). I think I'm the only one in office that's into frags. Almost all SAs I met first time introduced me their freshest frags first.

Man that's a lot of juice u put on

Usually I would spray 2.5ml of juice. This one was strong at first I reduced # of sprays. I just wish I could be that cologne guy. My skin drinks perfume. Can anyone give me any advice?

I've seen many compared this to A*Men. I've not sniffed this one. Which one would you choose between Animale x2 and A*men?

yup, totally agreed. when ppl heard i into frags, they were like "huh? sott this guy...wafor la...can finish meh?...bla bla bla " But can't deny our weather plays a big part in popularity of (boring) aquatics.

Personally,I prefer A*Men all the way. We all know the love & hate story of A*Men. I Love the smell...drool 1 of my go-to-scents for nite-out, cooler days, special occasions & when got young gals told me i smelled so good & so MAN...enuf said.

I just bought Animale x2 abt a month+ ago. A cheapo blind buy anyway. Smell nice? well, not bad la but it lacks the sparks i'm looking for. Its doesn't excite me. Try to find the sparks with each use but.... So its just a ok lo for me. Somewhat disappointed with it...probably due to many overwhelming positives reviews about it. I dun see much similarity with A*Men. 2 different animals so to speak...1 a beast-ly tiger & the other a Sang Kancil (?) Also, longevity and projection is so-so only on my skin. If anyone who had tried it & liking it & works better on u, i would let it go. Used abt 10% of the juice only. Just not the one for me.

I see. I've seen people disappointed with Animale x2 too because they were expecting it to be the same as A*Men. Can't really trust 100% of what people said in frags comm. Definitely sample first. I'm one of the victims. Blind bought Sung Homme off a recommendation by one of the Youtubers saying it's a good substitute for PAPH. SH is soapy but not in an elegant way like PAPH does and they both smell totally different. SH doesn't smell bad. It smells like Antabax Fresh soap, if that's how Iris Spring soap smells like.

Now I'm into 5th hour plus of wearing. Myrrh has moved to background. What I smell mostly now is Encre Noire's vetiver. The scent is still present although it's closer to skin.

i gotta agree with u,animale animale is boring,the drydown is nothing compare to pure havane

bro where u spray usually?i tested,try spraying 2 sprays each on each side of your collarbone with eau sauvage parfum,total 4 sprays,neck and chest seems to be gone faster

Really? Then good thing I went for PH instead of trying to save a few bucks.

I see. I'll try collarbones next time. I sprayed on my neck (side/front), chest (no chest hairs) and inner elbows. I found that it seems to last longer on wrists than inner elbows but I can still detect ESP on my inner elbows, which means good longevity. My ADG would've been long gone. It's now into 8th hour plus, myrrh is totally gone. All I can detect now is faint vetiver.

Where u got ur ph?

I first sample it in Langkawi Airport a few years back and decided to buy it when came across it in Vienna airport.

Tried A Men - just way too sweet for me.
Of course its not the same as A Men, if it is, there won't be A Men or Pure Havane in the first place.. Both have same vibe as Animale.. And it's cheap - that's all i need

its an ok scent,i mean cant expect much for the price of it,but to compare it with PH isnt really fair

hmmm i found out me n A*men will never get along... way too sweet till bitter lol.. the caramel coffee is overly sweet...

Just place order for Caron Pour Un Homme (due to the similarity to By Kilian A taste of heaven, and a classic vanilla), and Givenchy Xeryus from FragX

Wow ... your collection is growing fast !
