I used to carry a lot of things in my pockets but only the handkerchief continued its legacy LOL. For instance I carried rosary with me when I was small. Now I only put it in my briefcase and car. Still I can go ga-ga if I come across any rosary that made of precious materials with very detailed craftmanship (on the crucifix). I spent quite significantly when I was at Fatima, Portugal last year. Three rosaries, made of sterling silver, onyx and Mother-of-Pearl cost me almost 300 Euro.

I also atill carry a hankerchief nowadays... Partly tissue is not tat eco friendly lol

Alot of my pocket stuffs i chuck into a messenger bag, my pants look aweful bulge.... With note 3, car keys, wallet, small water bottle, ipad mini...

Sometimes i feel sling bag quite beng'ish' but cant accept men using a tote

I'm wearing d'Un Soir as well today, my 2nd try.  biggrin.gif
I really liked how it smelt at the first whiff, during the first few seconds, after that it gets really rosy/flowery etc, but I like it more than I did the first time i wore it on my wrist.

And yes you are right about the longevity and projection, I only  gave myself 1 spray to my chest this morning, still very noticable now.

I wore Lalique's Encre Noire yesterday, and it just conjures an image of a.. wet, mossy forest? lol. I can't tell the ingredients but it had a very thick, sludgy smell in the background, like some fresh ground herbs/leaves that I didn't find very appealing. Don't know if that's cypress or vetiver or something else.

Then that died down and got a little 'sharper' and incensy which I liked.Not sure if L'Occitane's Eau De Vetyver is 'proper' vetiver, it smells quite different then Encre Noire but i really enjoyed that one. Very woody. Just not too great in the longevity department.

Kindly pardon my lengthy but lacking in substance amateur ass opinions.
i think I am going to get samples of everything Edward is selling lol.

Haha thanks for the testimonials, glad these frag grow on u.... Everyone got to start out somewhere only can be a good independent reviewers lol

I will never do the following SOTN the justice it deserved due to my limited vocabulary and very noob nose...

“You’ve Been Warned”
RICH, SOFT, FRESH, SWEET, WARM, VERY SENSUAL, & LEATHERY

“Laden with potent aphrodisiacs – this creation is not dangerous for the man who wears it – it is dangerous for the woman who smells it on him”


these are the words that the master perfumer put on his ad about this blend, i was like this is another extravagant ad lines.. by looking at the note breakdown

TOP: Bergamot, Cumin, Lavender, Lemon, Tarragon
HEART: Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Violet
BASE: Ambergris, Castoreum, Cedarwood, Clove, Galbanum, Leather Notes, Musk, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Rhubarb, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Vetiver, Wood Notes

Still nothing impressive right? Given a $4/ml price tag for decant it is my most expensive decant acquisition ever... Let me try and see is this thing live up to the recent facebook hype?

Attached Image

Yes... it is no other than Roja Dove's Danger Pour Homme... the decant is on my table when i got back from work today, after dinner n shower..

boom 1 shot on the back of my hand, my mind got f*cked. The creamy lavender citrus opening is loud, fresh, smooth and slowly calms down... then the whole thing is revolving around the main character - Ambergris, it is not the ambergris like the ones used by Creed which they claim is natural... In fact the ambergris in here is u can get the saltiness of the ocean, musky, and sweet. the rest of the notes i cant picked out.. they are very skilfully blend with the ambergris

The creamy lavender citrus here resembles my chanel pour monsieur concentree... i dunno what to say, it is very dangerous to me as i am hooked to it... and it will cost me RM1,180 for a 100ml size

Man this juice is quality, and like the ad words, it is very rich, sensual, sweet and yet luxury....

at this very moment, i felt im way seriously under-dress after wearing danger... very very up scale and luxury english gentleman, im not surprise if James Bond wears it... need to dress to match it. Damn this 10ml tat i have, i need to just reserve for very special occasion...

and i basically type the whole review with only one hand coz the one with danger on cant be separated from my nose lol... now my biggest worry is i will also fall for puredistance M if it is also constructed such wonderfully.

overall 101% buy for me, but at the very least try to get a sniff on it smile.gif

Roja? Wow you are playing with fire!
*
Haha.. It just a friend offer me an opportunity to try a 10ml decant and wat cost me is a fraction of my reinvestment from the cost I salvage from my own decants, so still somewhat within my mean

I have other more priorities than buying a four-digit 100ml juice for the time being...

Well yea I'm playing with fire and thank god the fire is under control... At least the experience of trying such luxury perfume is a positive one and the decant will serve me well lol

End of the day it is all about how we see things, I'm just sharing my virgin experience here with Roja which I never dream I would, and if someone thinks I'm just fancy for luxury price tag... I have nothing to say

Yay... one of my highly anticipated haul!!!

Attached Image

Clive Christian 1872 for Men
Mona di Orio Cuir
Mona di Orio Vanille
Hermes Un Jardin En Mediterranee
Dior Dune PH
Nasomato Pardon
Hermes Bel Ami (Vintage)

Taken a nice bath, nice home-cooked dinner, nice 3in1 coffee... The first one i wanted to try yes it is no other World Most Expensive Perfume 1872 for men...

Danger PH bring my nose a very wonderful olfactory journey earlier this week, hence i have a very high expectation on the CC...

Given that these 2 houses warrant such high price, the target audience must either have lots of money to spend or they appreciate beautiful creation. it just like how ppl will spend so much on a nice painting, i should say beauty is in the eye of beholder and how much they willing to spend on it smile.gif

now come back to 1872... how is the scent smell like?

Citrus Cocktail shaken and served using a salt-rimmed magarita glass with grated nutmeg on top.

freshly-pressed Lime, Grapefruit, peach, pineapple juice, plenty of ice and generous dash of orange bitters and shake it smile.gif

this concoction stays the same from the point u spray it to the point it hits ur arm, to the point u sniff it, and over period of time...

Projection is below average.. this is close encounter scent and linear.... u can go liberal with the shots but it will not improve the projetions so i just go with 2 shots on my collarbone will suffice...

once u spray it, u can get this beautiful cologne vibe, i guarantee will not offend ppl, the quality of this juice is top notch. longevity i cant say much as this is over 4hrs on my hand and it still smell the same and same potency...

Will i get a bottle of this? well unless i reach senior management level or a succesful professional then i will coz it will further compliment and enhance your image and success

overall it is 9.5/10... the only complaint is that i wish the projection can be abit stronger well tat is just my rant

No worry, guys. Just sharing an early heads up from a personal call of MFK this morning that there will be an exclusive sales next week.

I am for sure getting the Pour le Soir and contemplating in getting the Aqua Universalis Forte.

And then there is this Creed Royal Oud.......
*
Wow... all of the bottles except the Oud and the trio?

very gatal le lol too bad i got 30ml decant of Lumiere Noire PH cry.gif cry.gif

Tempted to get the pour femme as the cumin is slight heavier; absolu poir le soir my nose is not ready for it yet

Aqua Universalis Forte is a very clean white scent... abit too clean for me, good for doctors lols

will be in KL from 25/4-27/4... most likely will drop by isetan to check out the deal...

Hermes here do not carry Bel Ami, rite? Have a small vial of vintage from my friend, love it very much, leather chypre; do u know where i can try here or even try my luck to ever find the vintage shaker bottle here lol

The hermes boutique is at the side where all the luxury stores are, its located right at the end and occupies 2 floors. If you see TWG just keep going to the other end until you see prada, bulgari etc. Then you will see Hermes.

Oo i tot they dont carry perfume, only bags lol... Ok must go in to try bel ami... As long thr reform do not differ much from vintage then im ok

Stay tuned (and don't let my wife know about it).

Btw there is packaging error on the Lumiere Noire Femme: the cap should come in gold rather than in grey. Now if you were me, would you go back to MFK to ask for an exchange?
*
Nice haul, of coz ask for exchange, u paid for it... I was at there also around 4pm... Was aiming for forte also quite disappointed, aqua vitae quite weak

And I managed to prove a theory - there are certain scent is better spray than dabbed. Almost got myself the first les exclusifs: cuir de Russie, however 200ml is a lot of juice lol. Valentino uomo I can say hyped up juice, not worth it
