biggrin.gif I have to clarify though, in case you guys think I'm a gentlemen, I'm actually a girl who likes vetiver more than vanilla. So the SA always ask me if I'm looking for a gift for a friend. And I will smile and say NO. Sometimes they tend to piss me off! LOL!

The sa are train to be sterotype each ppl before approaching u... Standard lol

giving perfume as present is such a dangerous thing.unless its the generic crowd pleaser scents la,if not what should he do with it if he hates the smell??not all sweaty guys will like the same type of perfume. happen to a friend of mine,his friend gave him polo blue as present,he hates it and now its at the corner of his cupboard,never get to see the light.
try to see what perfumes is he using now,and then get something similar,thats your best way i guess if you insist on giving perfume

I agreed to what bro kel said. Blind buy a scent that you and receiver don't know is risky unless you know what you're doing. Safe is to buy the scent he's wearing (if it's about to run out and he's really enjoying it). Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy can be found at major department stores.

Just gotten my leather samples from Bro Tone as i tumpang his STC purchase, waited a month.. thanks for going through the hassle bro smile.gif

the first sample i dab on is Tuscan Leather... first impression: WOW!!!

i think why all the private blend command higher price due mainly to it is an oil-based frag... Im holding back not to keep applying the whole 0.5ml sample on my hand and keep smelling it...

Tuscan Leather is linear frag which lagi an added advantage as i love linear scent... Opening is sweet creamy rich smoky... mild sweetness from raspberry... with very masculine smoky leather, a beauty and a beast combo but works absolutely perfect...

Is tuscan leather smell like cocaine? i have no idea but i sure know that this is an addicting scent, dunno how many times i sniff the back of my hand...

Just put it this way, if im a girl and smell this on a man, my knee will go weak, this is how seriously freaking good is Tuscan Leather

hmmm

for real 'classic' leather scents that international perfuminstas actually recommend for leather are:

Derby (Guerlain)
Patou Pour Homme (Jean Patou)
Bel Ami (Hermes)
Equipage (Hermes)

(they can actually be VERY strong smelling. and smells like Cuir de Russie but with a very, very sharp and intense edge.)

Modern Leather (softened) probably in line with Tuscan Leather:
Habit  Rouge EDP
Zen for Men (Shishedo)
Bulgari Black
*
Im not a fan of skanky, fecal, animalic vibe scent... And I have little exposure to leather note due to the above reason

QUOTE(t0n3 @ Dec 19 2013, 09:37 AM)
I don't know much about leather scents as it's not yet my favorite note but I like the scent of Tom Ford Tuscan Leather the best out of all decants. Helmut Lang Cuiron and Serge Lutens Cuir Mauresque are quite nice too.
*
SL not bad.. The civet is hanging there but not strong.. Based on wat I sniff so far, tuscan leather is absolutely stunning, masculine, smoky yet avoid birch tar, civet or other animalic scent... Raspberry is perfectly done in this blend, u can smell the sweetness but it is not sweet...

Cuir de russie the fecal drydown.....

I am wondering why my skin can't absorb nice and good smell of Men perfumes mostly edt except GA Attitude.. other than that, nay! ;((

My body heat quite warm and would love to get suggestions from the expert here

Try spraying on ur pulse points.. And try two sprays on each side of collarbone since ur clothes will cover the spot hence the frag evaporate slowly

Thanks bro.. still have inner debates on buying from luckyscent lol... its the shipping cost tat is murdering me lol especially with the year-end USD spike rclxub.gif

SOTD - Acqua Di Parma Intensa Oud

Just finish watching a review on youtube... it is like Tom ford oud wood mix with Acqua di Parma colonia smile.gif

Finally i can get the leather in it.. it is abit buttery in ADP Oud...

I am just finding any reason and any day just to wear it... the performance once again is off the chart for an EDC concerntree...

Cheers... Happy tong zhi and merry christmas

Happy winter solstice everyone smile.gif

SOTD - Parfum d'Empire Cuir Ottoman

1 dab on each of my hand...

My first impression: rclxms.gif rclxms.gif this is Dior Homme Intense with added soft suede leather touch... totally has nothing to do with Turkish Janissary and their sweaty leather boots...

Cuir Ottoman opening abit harsh due to the leather note, then slowly benzoin, amber, vanilla, incense all started to appear smile.gif the leather become softer and stay for the whole duration...

Those who like MIP or Bvlgari Black may find this an upgrade... beautiful blend from underrated niche house...

Bro Astroboy, or any other sifus... whats are your take on Amen Pure Leather? Is it similar with Amen so sweet? hows the leather in it? im thinking to try this

For me, a big big no. If you really want to buy a*men, make sure you test it first. Don't simply listen to the review, I did that.  sweat.gif

noted, what perfume last longer and strong smell? recommendation..

May i ask what will be the purpose of the perfume? Versatile? Work/Office? Clubbing or anything particular?

If just base on your question: 1 million, A*Men, Le Male, etc

Best is that u go to ur nearest departmental store and start smelling... ask SA for opinions, most of time is futile but at least they will give u an idea of what their customers buy recently.. then when u got idea edi, it is easier for us to reconmend

Hi Bro Edward... Pure leather is one of my fav. compared to Pure Havane and Pure Malt. I am not sure about the others... But Pure Leather Smells like Sheltox in the opening and do not smell entirely Sweet all the way. Definitely, i get the leather note in Pure Leather, unlike Amen which is entirely sweet all the way.

Anyway, i do not like Amen at all... If they are similar, I would not like Pure Leather....
*
Thanks bro for your timely sharing biggrin.gif

your description makes me wanna try it out... can quote me 2ml vial for pure leather? would like to sample it out compare with other leather scents around...

Tuscan Leather still number 1 in my mind... Naomi Goodsir will be in my next sample haul lol
