Both can be described as oasis and desert when it comes to niche perfume choices. Taiwan is the latter.

No Dior exclusive I've seen in Hong Kong (Element Mall) and Taipei. For a list of niche perfume stores in Hong Kong, you may refer to this page :-

hi guys, i'm new here and would ask a question. what do u guys recommend to get if i want a fragrance that has strong vanilla smell and long lasting? but i want it to be more masculine. also, i prefer if its less powdery/synthetic. thinking about tom ford tobacco vanille but i think its too pricey for me though. any recommendations? thx
*
I second Eau des Baux suggestion by t0n3, a little powdery (most vanilla scents are powdery anyway) but its a dry/smokey vanilla, definitely masculine, strong and long lasting.

Thanks for the heads up. Will drop by this Friday to sample some (pray hard that I don't end up getting a bottle).

The price has increased I guess - someone did mention before it was RM700+ for 125ml in 2013.
*
Yup. Last year this time was RM740 for 125ml. The SA said next year will increase somemore... shakehead.gif

I guess here is still cheaper for the Privee Collection. I hope Parkson can throw in some vouchers.

Yes they will give Parkson vouchers when you purchase Privee Collection. I didn't ask how much though.

Not sure about sample vials but they do offer a 7.5ml miniature when you purchase a bottle from them.

Can anyone recommend some colognes/perfume for men? I'm looking for your staple Cologne/Perfume, the one that gives out a masculine scent. Every time I buy one, it ends up being musky or too sweet smelling. I've tried a lot of brands and I can never seem to find the desired one. Have I been looking at the wrong place?

What have you tried before?

I guess if I would have to describe a particular scent...  It almost smells very subtle, but its subtle enough to capture your attention. And the smell isn't exactly sweet smelling, but very masculine. Sorry, I know I've said that. I can't really give another description. It's just perfumes that don't smell like a lady's. I'm not sure if I've been looking by buying from the wrong places because all my perfumes so far were brought from cheap places like Parkson or TheBodyShop, I could be looking at the wrong place. But I hope it isn't to the standards of Chanel either, because Chanel is so damn pricey I believe?
*
You are not looking in wrong places, you just need to find the right scent for you. You can try these:
Bleu de Chanel, Versace Pour Homme, Acqua di Gio, Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme

They are masculine, kinda subtle but noticeable scents which most people will like them.

Next time if someone walk past you with scent that make you turn head, just go ahead and compliment him/her and then ask what's he/she is wearing smile.gif

Also, could anyone of you tell me how much would the price of the four perfumes mentioned above roughly cost? I am not so familiar Chanel especially, heard their items could go up to 1k+.
*
The retail price should be slightly under RM300 for 100ml bottle.

Nah, Chanel fragrances aren't that expensive.

I'll drop by at 1U later, not sure if they have Chanel though, forgot about that. But they give out sniff samples if customers requested for one right?
*
In Malaysia, no free samples unless you bought something from them.

You can spray some on your skin to test them though.

Ah, sorry. I don't mean the sample, I was referring to the one where they spray the perfume on to a paper tester and let you sniff.

Oh.. Yea they will let you try it.

Awesome bro rclxms.gif

I tried it today at Sephora too... wow you are so good at describing the scent! Opening I get boozy rum.. then the heart is dark, bitter sweet leather with something smell like rubber or plastic (I'm not the fan of this part.. kinda synthetic to my untrained nose).. and the dry down is soft chocolate woody (very nice).. and the bottle is absolutely gorgeous..

Just tried the Dior Homme Parfum in Sephora. A darker, less sweet and Arabian version of DHI. The sandalwood incensy note is very prominent here. Nice and smooth.

Thanks bro for ur sharing,
What's ur personal rate / review take on this? DHI or DHP better?
*
Personally I prefer DHI as my untrained nose is not advance enough to enjoy arabian scent tongue.gif
Both are great high quality scents but DHI is more wearable and versatile, and I can see DHP won't get as much compliments as DHI. DHP is too 'serious'
