QUOTE(attacusatlas @ Mar 5 2014, 09:31 PM) I just came back from MFK counter in KLCC with Silk, Velvet and Cashmere on my wrists.....I almost choked to death in my car! Haha yup.. Oud silk mood is the best of trio... Not only wearable.. Imo it is one of the best rose oud is the market. Even it is extrait.. It has projection n longevity.. It is my sotd.. Last n project 12hrs+I still find that Silk is the most wearable amongst. Like the woody rose scent. |

No doubt it is worth after discount... however RM14/ml still quite steep... 70ml, at most i can take 30ml man this stuff very strong, now i still can get mild projection from my neck since i put on 3 sprays around 7.30am this morning....
Thanks to our bro Marver, i have order a sample set from Rania J... 5x1ml discovery (Ambre Loup, Jasmin Kama, Lavande 44, Oud Assam and ROSE ISTHAR) excluding tax is 6.70 EUR, free shipping... |

QUOTE(anige @ Mar 6 2014, 02:44 PM) So Polo Romance Silver is tobacco? Well not purely tobacco is mix up of volka and tobacco flower... I love ny of all is the whole making process of famous amos cookies lol....I've been told about London but have yet to really test is. Must remember. London. Bond No.9 I love ny for all is a nice gourmandy cocoa but i only tested it on paper last time. For leather I like Olfactive Studio Chambre Noire (for now at least, later I dunno, HAHA!) Haven't found a tobacco that wowed me but have enjoyed some smokey, incensey ones lately thanks to t0n3. This is still new to me so cannot comment yet. Hahahahahaha! London is very nice tobacco scent too... But the opening to me abit harsh |

QUOTE(jarcmercier @ Mar 11 2014, 06:18 PM) What's your take on L'Erbolario Meharees ? i did called up to L'Erbolario in KL, they say they no longer carry Meharees series as it is a very slow moving line compare to other series... i was so devastated and end up with dolcelisir due to it is hyped as alternative to Hermes Ambre Narguile sometime back in last year, and sold it to bro Izam d lolWent to Parkson around my office just now afterwork to look for a tux... i found out these 2 italian rare gem Acca Kappa 1869 - soft iris suede EZ Indonesian Oud - Oud having orgy with bergamot, incense, and rose these 2 are beauty in its own realm... 1869 has this ambergris and mineral note which combine with iris makes it masculine, smooth, creamy, slight salty suede... then this Indonesian Oud is the one of the luxury line of Ermenegildo Zegna, damn tongue twister pronounce the name of the house... Just like Armani Prive, Dior private collection... it come with a big hard box, and it has a big square cap, open the cap there a magnetic cap before u can see the sprayer lol when i spray it, the opening is non other than the adp oud, then i was like phew lucky i bought ADP oud before this given it cost RM750 for 125ml... and ADP Oud seems like a steal with the coffin packaging lol then after a while i got slapped on my face, why theres whaft of incense rose oud? then i sniff my hand, damn... my fav combo for 2014, rose oud!!!! but then wait.. this combo is familiar, where i smell it.. oh ya... drydown of city oud lol without the jammy rose... the rose in here play supporting role.. well the name of this frag is Indonesian Oud duh.... lol and the scent develops, no doubt it is still behind in terms of MFK Oud, Kilian Oud.. it is a very solid oud scent... should i flash my black plastic? |

QUOTE(Joey-kun @ Mar 12 2014, 09:57 AM) I smelled zengna's oud and it didint give me a good impression. Do you like it? I like it but there is other loves that deserve my attention and my signature lolPersonally after having real cambodian oud oil, MFK's Oud is the closest and nothing else comes close to the depth and richness of real oud. Basically as long as the scent is being good with my nose, im ok i dont care how close it is to the real note smells like as every house has their own interpretation of a scent... my sample decants galore:

QUOTE(jarcmercier @ Mar 21 2014, 04:45 PM) Haha, it was most probably not a fake one, in fact the one that I have now which i bought in 2012 only gives me average projection (couple of feet at most) and below average longevity on my skin (max 4 hrs)...but it does last abt 7 hrs on shirts though. And i read the current bottle has even less longevity. Haha kouros to me is very fresh musky scent like Antaeus... Both have been reformulated, watered down the civet so that it is must wearable... However my gf say don't stay close to her lol I stinksSince I'm on YSL, I went to Parkson yesterday to test on the notorious Kouros, for the 1st time ever. It never caught my eyes previously but, oh my, what a scent ! Ok, 1st of all, it's definitely ONLY for cold weather. On my skin, it's loud like screaming for attention, very very masculine, musky, powdery & surprisingly sweet to some extend & i feel like i wan to swallow ppl beside me, haha. I'm kinda shock that I really liked it. There was no the so-called infamous pee-urinal smell that i could detect thruout. And i dont feel its a dated scent too. I couldnt stop smelling my wrist. And, darn, this beast really projects and lasts. My gal likes the scent a lot. About half an hr from the 1 spray, i went to the Chanel counter with my gal who was looking for her perfume, & i asked the SA if if she noticed anything on me. She told me that she easily detected my scent when i was approaching her like 4-5 feet away & she liked the smell & asked me what scent was that. I let her smelled my other wrist which i had La Nuit which i applied at home & she didnt like it at all saying it smelled llke aerosol !!  She is in her mid-20s by the way. So, anyone else has any "pleasant" experience on Kourus ? as i know its really not a welcoming scent for all. Sotd - portrait of a lady... I don't have any words to describe this beauty... Must buy in my context |

Guys... Finally got to get a very peaceful Saturday morning after 3weeks of hectic schedules and still pending a lot ppl their decants 😭
Sorry la.. Will get them done n out by Monday... And I got tons of samples and decants to try... But not enough skin to try on... Having said that, I just wanna briefly share some of my first impression, I think most of u all know is rose galore lol Frederic Malle portrait of a lady - patchouli rose done excellent with compliment from red berries, spices n incense... Armani Prive rose d'arabie - for those that tried oud silk mood / rose oud / city love... This is also one heck of a creation... Full bottle worthy as it is cheaper than oud silk mood... Notice I did not mention about projection and longevity, coz they are by default beast mode lol PG26 Isparta - raspberry rose, tart sweet and rose. Girls will like it, not for me... It is linear and resembles the top of portrait of a lady Phaedon Rouge Avignon - hybrid of two fragrance. Opening of poal and dry down of noir de noir. It has a gourmand DNA in it. I'm neutral of this as I got decants of noir de noir and poal. Atelier cologne Rose Anonyme - sweet pastry rose with airy papyrus... Not my expected rose/oud combo by looking at the notes. Unique just not my cup of tea Czech and Speake No88 - super classic cologne, has the adp vibe... Very dark, it won't attract nice comments but u can't stop sniffing urself... HdP Rossam - double A A4 paper soaked in rose water Rania J Oud Assam - finally I did something I never did for a very long time, wash my hand after just 5 sec of putting on a spray. The opening is disgusting... Dry shit and u pour water on it and the sun make it dry again... Atelier cologne Gold Leather - opening with sweet boozy cognac and the leather slowly show itself. The leather in this has he oily and slight animalic undertone. An alternative of nice leather if u don't like Tuscan leather Frederic Malle Geranium pour Monsieur - my second love for the house. The mint is basically the mint leaves, leafy n green. On my skin it has the cooling effect, this make u wanna go outdoor! |
