Haha same.. All chanel classics are not love at first sniff... Now I like antaeus, pm n egoiste but im sure if I wear theM, most my colleuges will distance from me or ill be tat guy lol

For me I retried these frags just now:
Aramis - no matter how many times, its dated... Eventhough I love givenchy.gentleman
NRFH - green patchouli bomb... Very green earthy.. Got the wet cement vibe... 100% masculine... will be unique lol...
Antaeus - opening is harsh green earthy animalic... Mid to drydown masculine floral where I get jasmin.. Those kind of jasmin tat we can sniff from our fellow indian friends here quite well accepted in the indian community
Egoiste - quite linear, u get the creamy rose, vanilla n sweetness of sandalwood blend together smoothly, bit close to unisex...
Paphi - u get the fresh patchouli burst then slowly move towards incense smoky sweet powdery vanilla...

For me either paphi or egoiste

glad u got it finally.so how is it compared to the 1st time u smelled it?same thing?i actually like it more now after the 3rd wearing,the middle notes and drydown is just really good.i am interested to try the extreme intense version now

Haha I felt the same tat is y I cancel my paphi, sorry.bestbuy... Lol I realize my credit card can redeem rm200 isetan voucher... Diptyque volutes I finally can get the elusive bottle of the edp...

At this moment, my dilemma continues... With the budget for egoiste, I can go chergui, spicebomb, which to get.. This addiction is worst than drugs!!!

yup,the black bottle.i think the 007 perfume copied this bottle.i got a sample of extreme intense,very nice too,more fruitier but of dry fruits,dry orange kinda scent,and a bit of honey.like a modern version of Habit Rouge,but i think can be worn by guys 25 and above,not as balmy and dry as the parfum version.its like Terre D'Hermes mix with Habit Rouge or maybe rive gauche

Really? Maybe due to its not so conventional citrus frag compare to adg

Man that's a lot of juice u put on 

SOTD

Animale Animale by Animale, the godfather of A* Men and its Pure Flankers..heh

Personally,I prefer A*Men all the way. We all know the love & hate story of A*Men.  I Love the smell...drool    1 of my go-to-scents for nite-out, cooler days, special occasions & when got young gals told me i smelled so good & so MAN...enuf said. 

I just bought Animale x2 abt a month+ ago. A cheapo blind buy anyway. Smell nice? well, not bad la but it lacks the sparks i'm looking for. Its doesn't excite me. Try to find the sparks with each use but.... So its just a ok lo for me.  Somewhat disappointed with it...probably due to many overwhelming positives reviews about it.  I dun see much similarity with A*Men.  2 different animals so to speak...1 a beast-ly tiger & the other a Sang Kancil (?)    Also, longevity and projection is so-so only on my skin.  If anyone who had tried it & liking it & works better on u, i would let it go. Used abt 10% of the juice only. Just not the one for me.

SOTD - Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum

Starts off harsh and strong but becomes closer to skin pretty fast on my skin. I sprayed 1/3 from my 5ml decant before 9 this morning. As of right now, my colleague can only detect it a foot away.

bro where u spray usually?i tested,try spraying 2 sprays each on each side of your collarbone with eau sauvage parfum,total 4 sprays,neck and chest seems to be gone faster

Haha... seems there's no middle of the road for A*Men, either love or hate.  I dig PM as well. very unique in an amazing way...smooth, refined & seductive, haha. At my place, i dun think many have it...i dun think only handful even heard of TM brand.  Hope the juice will be available at our stores soon !   
my SOTD = HM Hanae Mori EDT

Went to Shins to pickup sth for my gf... i saw these 2 edps and cant resist giving both a try on my wrists....

Lets start with Charriol Pour Homme Edp... This should be the satu juta intense... Beastly projection... sweet.. bubblegum, cinnamon RM310 for 100ml

Then Byblos In Black Edp... wow the box sure look very class and beautifully done... Once i spray it, i smell of grapefruit n pepper then right after 5mins, i smell my wrist again... did i just test Terre d'hermes??? 90% similar without the strong sharp bitter orange... mild projection n sillage.... very suit for office... and when i reach home, my sis ask me she tot i use givenchy gentleman, why came back smelling Terre d'hermes for this 100ml edp only cost RM198...

SOTD - PAPHI

I had to agree with this but on my skin the smell rather faded maybe because i'm a smoker and always sweating. I don't know

Anyhow, I just love the smell 

Bought it from BBW at RM210 for 50ml, order on Tuesday got it on Wednesday...quite fast!
