Thanks for sharing.

I don't really watch youtube review (in fact I hardly watch youtube - I prefer reading physical books) but I totally can understand the reasons behind and one of the major factors is ones goes all the way out, too fast, too furious and overloaded - you tend to get bored and burnt out easily. It is not much about the money spent. Well, you will always find other avenue to burn your money.

Perhaps a little more healthier mindset is love perfume if you really love perfume. Don't partake in this hobby if you view it as a cool and trendy matter. You will struggle at the end of the day.

My 1/2 cent worth.

Price? hehe

If you follow fragrance group in FB you will see the problem is the more interested you get, the more you tend to hoard fragrances. You see guys growing their fragrances to 50, 100, 200, bottles. Some many fragrance so less time to really wear and appreciate it deeply. They all usually end up in cut price sale.

Sampling is the way to go. 10ml can last you a long time if you have a wide selection.

no spray? hahaha 

Perfume Haul
Just picked it up from post office this morning. Let me introduce to you guys the newest member in my Classic English department.

I'm wearing d'Un Soir as well today, my 2nd try. 
I really liked how it smelt at the first whiff, during the first few seconds, after that it gets really rosy/flowery etc, but I like it more than I did the first time i wore it on my wrist.

And yes you are right about the longevity and projection, I only  gave myself 1 spray to my chest this morning, still very noticable now.

I wore Lalique's Encre Noire yesterday, and it just conjures an image of a.. wet, mossy forest? lol. I can't tell the ingredients but it had a very thick, sludgy smell in the background, like some fresh ground herbs/leaves that I didn't find very appealing. Don't know if that's cypress or vetiver or something else.

Then that died down and got a little 'sharper' and incensy which I liked.Not sure if L'Occitane's Eau De Vetyver is 'proper' vetiver, it smells quite different then Encre Noire but i really enjoyed that one. Very woody. Just not too great in the longevity department.

Kindly pardon my lengthy but lacking in substance amateur ass opinions.
i think I am going to get samples of everything Edward is selling lol.

Thanks for the insights, bro. Yes strawberrynet is selling it below RM200. Itchy to blind buy this bottle. After all, I never own a bottle of Penhaligon's before.

a nichefied 1 million ahahaha doesn't sound that bad when u pt it that way.

SOTD - English Fern by Penhaligon's
It's English Sunday for me. A classic barbershop smell with lavender, geranium, clover and a touch of oakmoss. It's quintessentially English! It has below average projection and moderate longevity on my skin.

Anyone care to join me for cream tea?

I wonder what would be our love/hate frag selection if we were all blind tested..
Smell without knowing the perfume name n brand...

I'm always more intrigue on a perfume that triggers certain memory in us , like if i get a whiff of a girl walking and she actually smelled like a beach vacation i used to have in the 90's , or maybe rosy scent my gramma use to wear like musky rosy which probably can't find these days that would like make me fall in love and want to know that girl more, just by the scent, now imagine you can actually trigger a girl's memory via putting the scent that actualize scenes of her past that would be such a killer perfume.

you don't know how much truer your words can be in the malaysians society on how timid they actually is, and even if u make the first move they still rather run in the shell than  just out with it. You can read body language like if they look at you more than twice and when you notice it they'll rather look away than stay engage in the eye. But it does helps that you smell nice and be confident and pick up those cue they left, and ask how's ur day and all,and get her number  but it is hardwork here. an asian thing probably? being timid and less ballsy in taking chance.

though it's interesting to know paul guerlain's remark, but would you care to note just some of ur fav classics scent? maybe YSL opium?
i always love the smell of my father's opium especially when he came back from outstation when i was little and i can smell it all over his collars, so i get one when i got the chance, and it did struck me with one girl in particular which happens to think it's such a manly smell.

Sure got risk one if the stakes are high, i would definitely still wear a scent that can get me scarlett johansenn's in my arm, even if the scent would kill all the surrounding plants when i walk in a 10 metre radius around it lols.

you just wear to hook them on the fishing line anyway, like a stranger's brief encounter, not on long term everyday thing, hook em and get a date then after that wear your dior Fahrenheit and armani code ahahaha
