Couldn't sleep last night due to the famous Sarawak blackout. Too tired to do deadlift/back workout today so headed straight to L`Occitane store after work. It was actually my first time walking into the store. As expected the young SA introduced me their citrus based frags. I didn't take note of the name for it. Sniffed Eau du Badian, Eau des Baux and Eau de Vétyver. I'm impressed with all of them. They smell very natural. Not synthetic as expected from their price point. I must say they are even better than most department store designers.

Eau des Baux is unique but it's a bit dry for my taste. Eau de Vétyver to me is love at first sniff. The young SA was giving me that look. You like it? It's a bit heavy she said. Anyway, Eau de Vétyver reminds me of LIDGE or is it just me? It's currently on offer until the end of the month selling at MYR143 (no wonder BBW is selling at MYR105). Moderate projection and longevity wise, I still have it detectable on my wrist after 3.5 hrs so it looks promising.

bro astroboy, i saw u gotten diptyque volutes edt... wat makes u choose the edt over edp? is the edp quite similar to chergui?

coz i planned niche purchase will be diptyque volutes... i smell the edt got more tobacco, edp more sweet honey...

Bro edwardleong, i prefer the EDT version because EDP is spicier i think... and the more distinctive tobacco in EDT makes me pick this.. because i like leathery and tobacco accord perfume.

Bro... i think you request the SA to spray on your wrist and walk for abt 10 mins... then you will be able to choose. My wife prefers the EDP but i like the EDT..

No la bro... not the same with chergui, just some notes are similar... i think chergui is a little darker and not as sweet as Volutes. But longevity wise.. chergui wins hands down.

SOTD - Dior ESP

Taking it for a test drive again today.

Thanks for ur input bro... My gf doesn't like either of volutes lol... I did ask sa spray before d, edp more depth but price wise... I can get chergui or bond no9 I love ny for all...

After being expose to lidge, I found out I like sweet/gourmand lol any suggestions?

SOTD - V&R Spicebomb, thanks to bro Wazzapp!

SOTN : Chergui
To my nose, it started off with a feminine scent. Then slowly move to unisex but just a bit towards men frag bout 40 minutes later...
Interesting..

Hi, how's projection and longevity on your skin for this one?

Bro, any gourmand sweet scent intro?

Hi, do you get the same similarity to LIDGE for Vetyver?

Negative... Vetyver I got strong lime woody opening then drydown to spicy green vetyver

LIDGE open with a mild citrus then become hot sweet chocolate drink
