Thank for compliment!  laugh.gif
I am still newbie in this hobby but I am really learn a lot from you guys
7 months ago I still  know ntg bout perfume. I only know CK lol
Slowly learn from many experts here!!!

My taste do changed a lot over time. My initial preference more on citrusy, fresh one and now starting adore notes like incense, amber and oud.
Amouage Interlude man would be my primary target after I get myself DHI hahaha
*
Dont worry bro... This is the bottomless pit...

Sotd amouage memoir man..

Actually if u tried a very well constructed scent it ie hard for u to settle for second best... Green irish tweed is the one tat open tat door...

Then acqua di parma colonia oud... Then now rose...

Noir de noir, west side, rose 31, city love, portrait of a lady... The journey never stop...

Whao! I'm surprised you like it instantly. It wasn't instant love for me and now it's one of my favorites. Many shy away from DH due to the prominent iris root note. I actually prefer DH better than DHI for that reason. I'm a BIG fan of powdery scents because to me, they are classy, elegant and metrosexual (BTW, I'm a straight married guy who pumps iron). If you like DH you may like Midnight in Paris by VC&A, which is another one of my favorites.

Dior is my favorite designer (and I'm not even touching on their private collection yet) because they are the game changer in the designer game with their modern releases. i.e. DH, DHI, Fahrenheit Absolute and Eau Sauvage Parfum. Like you, it changed my view on fragrances and started it all for me. Having said that, don't get me wrong about Chanel. Their modern releases are king of fresh scents in the designer game IMO. I like and wear BdC, AHEB and plan to get AHS after my BdC runs out.

When I review a scent (to see if it's full bottle worthy) I only look at (in order of priority), purpose, smell, quality, price and perfumer. I don't really look at the brand. What matters is the juice inside, purpose it's trying to achieve and of course, the price.

Have an enjoyable and save ($) fragrance journey biggrin.gif

nice for u all... no matter how i try... me and DH still cant be friends but with DHI we are buddy...

me too as a guy tat do facial... have facial care products... clean shave daily... i admit im metrosexual and i like to wear scent tat are elegant, class, and dress well....

i always believe is perceived quality... how much u are willing to pay for a bottle is how much u willing to value the frag... however must within ur means that is the most important part...

at this moment, i found tat rose is the most unisex floral note among other flower scent lol... i like it winely boozy... mature... aromatic... and it is a timeless trend for rose...

then this afternoon at the pantry... my collies are discussing perfume as vday is around the corner lurking.... and they ask me wat i get for my gf and stuff like tat and commented i change my perfume everyday lol... it smell like but paiseh to ask wat i spray.. when i mention the name creed, amouage, bond.. they like huh apa tu... i feel so whistling.gif

anyway all sifus here please share your: best of 2013

Thanks bro Marver... receive the vials d.. immediately i apply 2 heavy sprays of Rose 31 to my wrist.. damn intoxicating... really different take on rose... not the usual signature sirap note... no wander it is so welcome by men in basenotes...

initial impression - gonna get it.. but will keep on trying before in-depth review

just done my dinner... i had noir de noir on the other wrist... i can understand why some online reviewers say it is more to fem side... who cares... on a confident guy... this juice make women around him have weak knee... seriously!!!

right now words tat i can come out is NdN is a glass of rose wine with a wet rose dip in chocolate smile.gif absolutely stunning... mesmerized me... totally out gun city love by miles

Rose 31 potential to replace my GIT as Mr VErsatile... Ndn my new signature scent, sry Black orchid

Lene, I want vintage No.22!!! You can still find them on eBay but pricey! A friend passed me some Givenchy Amariage. Is it the same? Don't like it though.

Edward bro I remember you got colonia intensa oud right? How much you paid for it ? biggrin.gif

it is really a very nice citrus leather oud combo... very rare combination which is very well done....

well if u think since it is oud based then it must be heavy and arabic... no... This fella and Green irish tweed are my mr versatile

EDC with the strength of EDP..

and Cougar love this one brows.gif brows.gif

i got it at Parkson Pavilion... the SA quite nice gave us a few sample cards

100ml RM590.. yes it is kinda expensive for an EDC but the packaging... is better than a lot of niche out there

Sotn - tom ford noir de noir... Nothing short of spectacular this blend by mr ford...

Of all the roses i tried so far, heres my two cents....

Rose 31 is very versatile masculine spicy woody incense scent... The rose never once be center stage... Start to mid is the spices esp cardamon n cumin... Found the first cumin frag tat i like lol... Drydown is more woody oud incense generic niche drydown...
the rose always at there standing behind.. Not loud but u wont miss it... Mild projection n longevity... Is it worth a full bottle for me? Yes provided i dont have green irish tweed / acqua di parma oud /memoir man...

Dueto parfum city love n city oud... Both share the same sirap rose opening... Sweet, aromatic, jammy, difference is tat the rose is much more overlydose in city love... When move toward drydown... The rose once again agree to stand behind for oud n patch to hold hands... I prefer city love opening and base of cityoud... Either bottle is full bottle worthly... But if budget is not a constrain, kilian rose oud and bond no9 new york oud is best

West side.... Rose wine opening and settle into vanilla ice cream top with fresh rose petals... Some say fem but imo it is uni... It share 30% similarity with noir de noir... Sensual elegant... Still can wear to work but best suit dating

Noir de noir... The highly hyped rose in basenotes... Is it so? Yes it 101% truely deserve the hype... Those find west side fem can sniff this... It is more unisex than it only when drydown.... It share the same rose winely opening with west side... Then drydown to chocolate vanilla patch oud combo... Dirty, allure sensual, wicked... The overall picture is u go to a bar... The bartender gave u a glass of rose wine with a rose dip in chocolate and frozen... Then as night go along.. U accidentally drop the rose to the group the heat slowly melts the choco and got d dirt on it. . U pick it out when u saw it n sniff it... Full bottle? I will sell my kidney to get the 50ml bottle... This is two spray enuf frag purely not for work....
