Definitely sample first. I have a feeling you wouldn't like it based on your preference for CK Be. I think you might like Allure Homme Sport by Chanel.

You're in Kuching too? I've had terrific experience with my recent purchase from them for a bottle of Fahrenheit Absolute

Never tried DHC (2013) but my DH (2011) and DHI (2011) have moderate only projection on my skin.

I'm loving it that's why I bought a FB of it. Didn't like it when I first sniffed it in May this year because it's bitter. I tend to like oriental, vanilla with some sweetness. Ordered a decant a month later to try and slowly it grew on me. Been evaluating this for a few months before I took the plunge and bought it this month.

Opening has a hint of original Fahrenheit (which is not for me) together with balmy/bitter myrrh. I also get some cumin note though it's not listed. As it dries down I start to get some sweet incense maybe the sweetness is coming from vanilla, which is not listed as well. I don't really get the oud maybe it's well-blended in. Although it's an "absolute" it has moderate only longevity and wears close to my skin.

SOTD - Chrome by Azzaro

Interesting. It's an iris based scent, which is one of my favorite notes. I have not tried it though.

SOTD - Racquets Formula by Penhaligon's. A discontinued floral scent for men but I personally think women can wear it too. Bought it for its Englishness.

Haha, I had Coty's Playboy VIP, which I bought for fun but sold it recently.

SOTD - L'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake. Still deciding whether or not to let it go

Haha, yeah it is and one of the best sellers too. I still like it though. The use of Yuzu is quite unique in my book. It just hardly made it into my rotation this year. It shares the same love with AdG too, which I just sold recently.

80's classic - Drakkar Noir/Cool Water
90's classic - Acqua di Gio/L'eau d'Issey

I see. He's most probably right about this one.

SOTD - Racquets Formula by Penhaligon's
Feeling Englishness today haha...

SOTD - Versace Eau Fraiche. Been wearing this two days in a row now. Still deciding whether or not to let it go

SOTD - Interlude by Amouage
Its scent, complexity, projection and longevity are to die for. I know it may sound counterintuitive but it smells like bbq beef burger as a whole, which I fell in love with at first sniff. Been sampling this for a few times for a few months before getting a full bottle of it (tester of course).

Tried Esprit fragrances today and one of them smells just like Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels. Also tried Sevillian Neroli by Crabtree & Evelyn and I get similar vibe as Versace Pour Homme.

May I know where you're getting it from?

I think online store is still cheaper than retail.

I personally shop from :-
- http://my.bestbuy-world.com
- http://myen.strawberrynet.com/main.aspx
- http://www.fragrancex.com

And Lyn seller for tester bottles. PM me if you're interested to get his contact.

Go to any perfume counter, those bottles for you to try or which sale associate would spray on scent strip for you are testers. The juice is the same as retail except that it only comes in plain box and sometimes without cap. It's much cheaper but I wouldn't get tester if it was a gift for my significant other

I see. Thanks.

Hopefully to hear your review on them later.

SOTD - L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake
Wearing this for the last time. Unfortunately this has to go. Need to fund for my CdG Incense Avignon.

Haha... Looks like my kinda scent. I have my eyes on Opus VI instead. Tried it and is impressed with its performance. That would be my loud amber.

Yes it is and I wore quite a bit of it. Unfortunately it hardly made it into my rotation and I need the $ for my new gf, CdG Incense Avignon.

I'm waiting for the Lyn seller to have tester for Opus VI to become available.

SOTD - HM by Hanae Mori.

Thanks for letting us know this new niche house, new at least for me. How much is a bottle of this? One of them, The Bug seems like my kinda scent with the resins.
