There goes my TdH Parfum. I'll have to wait for next warehouse sales then.

SOTD - Ambre Sultan
Opens up with spices and ends with amber. Projects moderately for the first 1 or 2 hours then stays closer to skin. Good longevity on my skin. Actually I was expecting something like PAPHI or 24 Gold but no. As for the scent, it's not bad, I like it but my wife hates it. Having said that, I still prefer how the amber is done in PAPHI and 24 Gold. Out of the 2 frags from Serge Lutens that I tried, Chergui is easily my pick and is on my to-buy list. Therefore, my SOTN is Chergui

Wearing Ambre Sultan again today. Opens up with in your face spices that will tickle your nose but then quickly backs off and stays pretty close to the skin throughout. I think it's well-suited for hot weather, date and office use only due to its soft/moderate projection.

SOTN - 24 Gold
I'm in love with this one. IMHO, this one is amber frag done right.

SOTD - Nasomatto Black Afgano

This week will be my samples sampling week. This stuff is potent. I only applied 0.5ml from my 1ml vial and it is still as strong as I applied this morning. Just the way how I like my perfume to be. Opens up with in your face oud and unknown note (my guess is weed). Rich, semi-sweet and woody. Very good projection and longevity on my skin.

Yay.. gotten my pure malt... what i can say about this gold star... Genius!! it is unique by its own... i love boozy fragrance.. had nice experience with dolcelisir and unforgivable... this is niche quality...

immediately i smell a strong whisky note with sweet berries the whisky lean towards scotch single malt whisky which is my fav liquor...

this blew amen away! the drydown is just whisky amen without the tar... patchouli also been tone down in PM...

i can wear this everyday as my signature scent!!! another very satisfied blind buy from SN

For those who either like or hate amen, just go get pure malt, u will be surprised

Alamak...Opps..U purchase again.. lartisan mon numero 1
Thot u say quote this year 2bottle before getting Tom Ford BO

lol bro.. crazy pricing for a niche 100ml edp, logic and promise doesnt exist anymore

Lol.... human nature...
Better to grab wrongly a best deal rather to miss-out

L'occitane just launched a new line called La Collection de Grasse.. which consist of 4 bottles: Jasmine & Bergamote, Magnolia & Mure, Vanille & Narcisse and Thé Vert & Bigarade.

The new fragrance collection from L’OCCITANE - La Collection de Grasse - celebrates the fragrant destiny of this Provençal town by bringing together raw materials from close and distant lands.
Magnolia from the Far East, blackberry from the South of France, green tea from Japan, bitter orange from Tunisia, jasmine from Grasse and Egypt, bergamot from Italy, vanilla from Madagascar, narcissus from France…
Two by two, these ingredients have been brought together to create four unforgettable fragrances.
The eau de toilettes of La Collection de Grasse are made with natural extract, which yield the purest and clearest notes.

the bottle come in 75ml edt.. priced at 225... the packing looks luxurious

Perfumer behind this is Karine Dubreuil, the girl in charge of GPH2... now is in house perfumer of L'occitane.. The vert & Bigarade drydown smell like green tea macha ice cream...

- http://www.loccitane.com.my/la-collection-...2,1,39895,0.htm

Went to the store last week to ask for their Ambre but they don't carry it.

Friend, what they carry here are limited

SOTD - Nasomatto Pardon

Very nice oud and chocolate combo. Not as loud as Black Afgano and I've used up all 1ml vial in one application. Having said that it still has good projection and longevity.

SOTD: Chanel Pour Monsieur

A very classic scent that goes into the powdery gentleman category. Starts off with a very dry bergamot and ends with a powdery, slightly spicy scent with hints of sandalwood.

some members here may find that this scent reminds them of the indian barbers. LOL

Lol one of my favorate scent, due to availability I go for pour monsieur concentre...

SOTD - Pure Malt

lol bestbuy world now got 1juta intense retail up for grab.. 100ml less than 230

and just random lepak on Strawberry.net, itu pure malt has ran out of stock, left pure havane and Amen... im hoping for their A taste of fragrance or pure leather or pure coffee

SOTD - Pure Malt

When it's first sprayed on, I get cooling sensation on my skin. Not the same as alcohol stink. Anyway, this one projects pretty hard during the first one or two hours then sits slightly closer to skin but still maintain moderate projection throughout. Good longevity on my skin. This and A*Men are my favorite from TM that I tried. I get a hint of A*men DNA from it too. Eventhough I don't drink I recently sampled authentic whiskey when I was in Edinburgh and I don't really get the association to single/blended malt scotch whiskey. Having said that, it is still a solid frag and smells very delicious you almost wanna drink it.

SOTD - 212 VIP Men

Got this vial free from my previous purchase of A*Men from Eraman. I do get similar vibe as one million. I don't drink but I don't really get vodka and gin outta it. I get passion fruit + tonka bean (not listed as note) at the opening. Quite linear. Overall it's quite a pleasant sweet scent. Moderate projection and longevity on my skin.

Hi all, new on this thread and need advice from all… Thinking of getting one Eau De Perfume for Men, what would you all suggested as I always blame Eau De Toilette not being able to last long.
I have used many in the past, would appreciate your honest opinion/suggestion base on my colognes in the past as listed below. Thanks in advance for the help!

CK Eternity (still using now)
CK Aqua
CK Contradiction
CK One
CK Eternity Aqua

Hugo Boss Hugo
Hugo Boss Selection
Hugo Boss Pure
Hugo Boss Energise (three times)
Hugo Boss Elements Aqua
Hugo Boss No.6
Hugo Boss Boss Elements
Hubo Boss Boss

Mont Blanc Legend (still using now)
Mont Blanc Starwalker

Giorgio Armani Acqua
Issey Miyake cant’ remember the name but with long tall glass boxy bottle and top portion is solid filled with solid glass… used it long time ago…
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
Kenzo Pour Homme
Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Cologne
Tommy Hilfiger Colors
Gucci Envy
Ralph Lauren Romance Silver
Etc….

Of your list that I've tried, Le Male lasts quite long on me. You may check out L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme. That one lasts quite long on me too and it's an EdP.

SOTD - 24 Platinum

Trying from a vial I got recently from fragX. I get rose, vanilla and a little musk, which is quite nice. Rose is predominant here but without being too feminine. Good projection and longevity on my skin.
