This is the first time i am truly impressed with Sephora lol.... and i hate myself for being too vulnerable to anything associated to leather and floral lol

According to the pretty SA (which also partly impaired my judgement to flash my plastic card) this fella just being on the shelf yesterday lol and they are doing promo the first five unlucky impulsive buyers will receive a 15ml travel spray of Bvlgari Man Extreme....



Unfortunately i am one of them, well i do doubt is daily first 5 customer who buy this scent... lol

When comes to bottle design, we expect no less for the jewellery designer.... it is matte black ceramic bottle like GIT and the wording is rose gold in colour... and they decided to go with a shotgun atomiser with it...

From wat i saw from the back of the tester bottle... they categorized this is oriental floral leather.. Tuberose leather lol

Following what versace and gucci did, Bvlgari also take a long time only to launch an edp flanker which it should stand on its own or private line lol... RM352 for 100ml RM296 for 60ml....

According to fragrantica the notes are: Rum, Tuberose, Guiac Wood, Leather, Iris, Tonka Bean and Benzion... the notes itself already warrant a blindbuy to me edi lol

and end up it do not disappoint. I think only those bear the name "Black" from Bvlgari baru can sell. So after observing all the Noir scents available in the designer n niche realm, Bvlgari decided to launch one for themselves. and this indeed really a dark scent.. for those who are familiar with Mona di Orio Vanille, Atelier Gold Leather, Chergui, Back to Black.... this is something similar....



Opening is really green boozy vanilla and i did compare with MdO Vanille, it is very close lol then this fella is multi-dimensional... slowly the tuberose emerges but not like the ones in carnal flower, over here u can get the rubbery trace of it.... and second stage will be tuberose iris leather.. then at the very end of it life... u get a chocolatey skin scent. if i were to describe it.. it would be Nasomatto Pardon drydown....

A designer edp can make me compare with several up-scale niches... Try it during lunch time and can i resist not to buy it after work?

What puzzle me the most is there are more designers out there slowly catching up with niche quality... and more edp for men   

so right now if you ask me top 5 designer worth getting.. without doubt: Cartier d'un Soir, Dior Homme Intense, Gucci Oud, Bvlgari Man in Black and Chanel No5 Eau Premiere

Why have to be august that burn my pocket... Roadtax, car insurance and these two gorgeous babies



Any frag heads who interested trying i will upload the detail to my wts thread later

I wonder if Marver in facebook is the same guy with Marver in Whatsapp. 

Youth Dew for me and free samples for my wife. Best of all, Parkson has it cheaper than fragX. SOTD - Tauer's CdM on a family lunch.

tested from sample ysterday - Acqua di Parma Leather. i prefer this one way better than tauer lone star..1st 2 minutes like leather in ur face..then disappear..i was like..where is the scent..went spray 1 more..total 4 sprays from sample bottle.. after like 10 minutes i can smell it again..weird.
lasting pretty good 8 hours easy.

today testing: olfactive studio chambre noire, another leather scent

U like cowboy eh.. bro edward?

Nice haul bro.. Sometimes have to get sayang wifey also rite?   

yesterday i went shopping complex trying some perfume i got my eye on. ambre sultan, chergui, un bois vanille, habit rouge. ambre sultan and chergui on my skin is too pungent for my nose while un UBV smells like synthetic vanilla on my skin but smell nice on paper. habit rouge too strong too on my nose so i decided to take a walk waiting the drydown. eventually ambre sultan n chergui smell nice and for HR i still can't take it. And I didn't buy anything lol. but got this sample, the person at the counter said its a new frag, izit?



*already rotate the pic still comes out like that 

if someone want to sell TF noir de noir 50ml around 60% full for ~rm320 is it good? or too exp?

Yes bro, it's new. Which shopping centre did you go to?

Bro.. I think the price is still okay. Spore selling 50ml full bottle @ sgd 320!

I confused too. Outside shop jenners but inside said house of frasers 
woot, that was almost rm800. looks like I'm going to buy it coz I like NdN 

Oh... Edinburgh jenners house of Fraser yeah?

Good luck with your acquisition of noir de noir!!
