Anige... LM Parfums and Dreckig bleiben Am gonna purchase 2 Dior LA Collection Series:

Leather Oud/Oud Ispahan/Ambre Nuit... - Choosing 2...  Either 2

Hard Leather??? And I've not heard of the German one. Too cool! And also too many perfumes out there!!!

LM expensive ler. Sometimes I don't know which way to go. Try leathers/other notes. Go for indie fragrances. Hunt down vintage. Aiyah. So many things to do...

Today was in da mood for sum leather sampling. Parfumerie General DjHenne and Ramon Monegal Mon Cuir.
DjHenne has cumin!!! ACK! ACK! ACK! I hate cumin! Luckily the cocoa note is strong, can cover up. So it's like there are spices in the background Don't sniff your arm. The cumin will jump out! Sniff from a distance quite nice. Delicious.
Mon Cuir in my opinion makes me think of green leather. It's green like herbs with some bitterness but yet it's leather. It also starts of quite soapy. Just reading some reviews on Fragrantica that says this has a rubber leather note. Ah yes yes. It's strange one for me. Maybe because of the rubber note. Must try that Bvlgari Black again one day.

No! Never tried Cuir from Carner Barcelona. You've tried Mona's Cuir???

Why bro... Jubilation is a masterpiece...

.. slowly.. bit by bit... I think i agree with you... Im gonna go for Oud Ispahan and Ambre de Nuit... Will update later with pict.. Have to retire for this month... quota sampai already....

Although perfumes are tax-free in Malaysia thanks to Budget 2011. I still find perfumes at Malaysia airport duty-free a little cheaper. Take for example, BdC and DHI that I checked few years ago at Kuching airport duty-free are slightly cheaper than Parkson Kuching by about RM10 +/- if not mistaken.

Anyone doing split on anything from By Kilian.?
Count me in yerrr..

Looks like you're on the right track there. Keep pumping the irons!

SOTD - Tardes by Carner Barcelona (sample)
To my nose, I pick up almond, tonka bean and musk. I generally don't like heavy tonka bean but this one is added at just the right amount the scent actually smells really good. Looked up fragrantica and found out that heliotrope actually has almond facet. I don't really pick up the other notes they may be well-blended I think. The nose behind this is Daniela Andrier, perfumer of my favorite Prada Amber Pour Homme. Although marketed for women, this can easily be unisex IMO. All in all, it's a gourmand-ish nutty almond with a musky background scent. It has moderation projection and longevity on my skin. This one's probably not as popular as D600 and Cuirs from this house but definitely worth a try I would say.

Cuir can be found at essenza nobile hehehe

Bro Ton... I think Spore is the nearest but the price might be more expensive over there...

Cuirs got CUMIN!!! OMG!!! Eeeuuu!!! Everything else sounds rich, deep and dark! I like! LOL! But 5 euros per sample... hmmmmmmmm ok la I guess.

Bro Edward,

When i reach KL... Will PM you, yeah?

+100   
Poison kaw kaw... let everyone drool

Thanks bro! I didn't see it when I checked last time. Too bad I've ordered Musc Ravageur decant from STC last week. No harm getting again if shipping is reasonable.

That's really nice! STC has those for sale too but I opted for cheaper regular decant option.

Just filled up their questionnaire. These are some I wrote, haha...

1. What qualities would you like your fragrance to convey?
Strong yet elegant. Complex yet simple. I love fragrances that can capture moments in time like photographs.

2. Why do you wear perfume? To seduce, to refresh, to add a final touch...
I see perfumes as an art form. I wear them to appreciate their beauty.

4. Which perfumes have most marked you?
Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens is currently my crown jewels. Oriental Spicy is my other name.

8. Where do you live?
Malaysia but I enjoy wearing "winter" fragrances.

Wow! Thanks for the tip! Sounds interesting!!! Will go check it out!!!

  Thanks for the infor !! 

You're welcome! I never know what myrrh really smells like. Really, is it rootbeer? Can you describe it please?

And by the way, my SOTD is a sample of Tauer Incense Rose. Thanks for swapping with me t0n3!!!

I'm really enjoying this. I don't get any rose at all! So Edward, don't look here! LOL! It starts off on my skin with loads of mandarin orange + incense. And it somehow reminds me of a Chinese temple! Don't ask me why. It's fresh but a 'dry' scent. I don't know if that makes sense. I like my scents dry sometimes. It fits the hot weather. There is also cardamom in the background. It's not harsh or sharp at all. I think it adds a lot of character to the scent. By lunch time, I think frankincense makes an appearance and the cardamom gets sweeter. (Even at this point, still no rose or maybe I'm just really really bad at detecting notes and I don't know a rose when I smell one???). Most of the times in my head I know the scent smells familiar but I never know what it is. Then I head over to Fragrantica and read the notes and comments and  "Oh, that's it!" Yup. Very bad at it!  I really am wondering, where is the rose???

Longevity wise, it's still going... and sillage is not too bad. I don't need to stick my nose to my arm and smell. I get wafts of smokey incense almost continuously.

A simple calculation here:

After the conversion, the shipping should be RM120.

Each sample vial is 3.5ml. For three vials, you get 10.5ml of elixir.

Thus you are paying about RM11/ml. The price is still alright if you would ask me.

Yea...seems OK esp for FM juice. Worth considering for sure.
