Thanks bro t0n3 for the reply. I checked L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme as you mentioned, it seems like it is something that either you like it or don't like it kind of the fragrance? Does it sting? I need something that not that strong but last longer...

By chance you have tried the following? Any commend on these?

Boucheron's Jaipur
Issey Miyake Pour Homme Sport
Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Essenza
Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris http://www.amazon.com/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Mid...+parfum+for+men

And understand your SOTD is 24 Platinum. Love the TV series of 24 have never got a chance to test out the cologne...

Scent wise I think LIDGE should be OK. Nothing polarizing IMO. It does smell like something a matured man would wear but doesn't smell dated (I don't like dated scent). Someone said Sean Connery would rock this. However, you may look up the note breakdown on fragrantica to see if there's any predominant note that you can't take. It's pretty hyped up and people go banana for this. I recently did a decant for a guy (maybe in his 20's) likes this and said it's a masterpiece. On whether it's projecting too much for you, you may have to try and see for yourself.

I only tried and own MiP (EdP) from the ones you mentioned. Never tried the EdT but I heard it's pretty weak and EdP performs better. I only wore the EdP for a couple of times. It has moderate projection but good longevity on my skin. I love it as you can see from my Top 5 list.

The quality of frags from ScentStory is very good. I've tried all and my favorites (in order) are 24 Gold, 24 Go Dark and 24 Platinum. I don't care for 24 (original). They all have good projection and longevity on my skin.

Based on your long list, you look like someone who prefer fresh but long lasting fragrances, not the heavy , intense gourmand type.

Spend a little more and get Dior Homme Sport or Chanel Allure Homme Sport.
Also try L'eau Au Masculine from Lolita Lempika ...unique and fresh scent.

Thanks t0n3 and killdavid for advice. Yes, i prefer 'fresh but long lasting fragrances, not the heavy , intense gourmand type'.

Will try out those mentioned. thanks again!

However, bear in mind that straight-up fresh frags don't usually last > 6 hours on my skin. Not sure how long lasting you're looking for but I would like to add what bro killdavid has recommended, which is Bleu de Chanel. It's fresh (w/ grapefruit) and dark (w/ incense). It lasts between 6-8 hours on my skin.

Yeah how can I forget Bleu de Chanel ....that is also good choice that lasts long

yes, 6-8 hours is what i'm looking for

Haha ya bdc... Solid frag

If not try the following:
Ysl rive gauche ph
Terre d'hermes pure parfum
L'occitane eau de vertiyer
Chanel Platinum Egoiste
Dior Aqua Fahrenheit

This week is gourmand week for me, wore a*men, pure malt, dolcelisir, polo double black n today mj legend

Now on the midst of perfecting my boozy line up, any reconmendation guys?

I second Aqua Fahrenheit

Thank you, thank for all the suggesion

Dont be fooled into thinking that all EDPs last longer. They last longer, but it goes closer to the skin due to the higher concentration of oils = you wont smell it after a while. All perfumes, EDT or EDP both have almost the same lasting power, but what makes them different is the intensity of the scent and how long it lingers around (NOT last). Most perfumes would require you to use the same one daily for a few months before it 'lasts'. Whether or not it lasts also depends on how you spray it: spray it on chest, neck, and on shirt if you want it to last.

There are some EDPs that are truly strong like amouage but not every EDP will last/are strong. Some do not last at all.

if you're looking for an aquatic fragrance that actually lasts, try cool water or aqua di gio

most HB and CK scents would also last due to the high concentration of synthetic materials.


but seriously, spray some on your shirt and not just on chest. It makes it last a lot longer. Trust me.

How much did you get the concentre version for? it is rare and expensive from what I heard.

Thanks for the insight. Yes, I normally would finish my bottle till the last drop so normally I only use two active EDT for depend on occasions. thus enjoying the frag to me is very important.

I normally spay once on the wrist and rubbed against another wrist, then spray on and neck. Sometimes on the shirts also.

Chest is the best spot, at least for me.
