Hi guys

I am just into the world of perfume.
My first buy is Dior Homme EDT
I am really enjoy it after 3 weeks of use and got people compliment it smell nice and pleasant. However, I found its longevity is good but still below my expectation.

Anyone can recommend similar tyle of perfume with longer longevity and better projection. ( Besides of Dior Homme Intense) I am just wanna know haha

Thank you XD

I love Dior Homme too and was trying to look for alternative but couldn't find any I love in the designer/department store scents. However, I love Midnight in Paris. It doesn't have iris but it has similar vibe you may also like. The EdP has better projection and longevity. Sample first before buying.

Shalimar is only available for women. I tried the EdT and bear in mind that the iris is different from Dior Homme. It's a iris commonly found in classic women scents (i.e. Chanel N°5).

I've seen Midnight in Paris (EdT) at KLCC/Pavilion Isetan. I got my EdP online. Both concentrations smell quite the same to my untrained nose. Try it at Isetan to see if you like the smell then only decide whether to get the EdP or not. By then, I can decant 1ml/3ml of EdP for you to try before making the purchase  biggrin.gif

Just arrived to me. Red Vetyver is free because i purchased Black Aoud.

Here we go:

Red Vetyver : Terre D'Hermes. Only deeper and louder.

Black Aoud : Sweet medicinal with roses linger in the background. Result: Elegant scent. 1 spritz has almost become overpowering.

That's all.

Where to buy it bro?

However, I took this opportunity to seek for other good stuff!!!
Amouage biggrin.gif
I nvr thought I would like this fragrance company from Oman

Epicman & reflection man not bad but they doesnt got me haha

Interlude , Lyric and Opus II would be my top 3
My favourite would be Interlude... the opening a bit harsh
at first sniff I hate it lol
after a while, I started to enjoy the smoky and sweet ... sweeter haha
I am not very good at describing haha but I am just enjoy Interlude man a lot but rm825 for 100ml is out of my budget!!!

Thanks Marver bro for the decant of Ambre Sultan and free gift biggrin.gif Baldessarini EDC vial (y)

Ambre Sultan opening is very strong even before spray from atomiser and I can smell the potent juice from decant bottle. It has herbal medicine like opening. Its' sweet but not over cloying which I can tahan. I am not fan of sweet fragrance especially I personally think that cloying fragrances will annoy people in hot climate.


After some time, I think its sweetness start tone down and slowly develop into warm and smooth scent. After few hours, the scent stay close to skin but I can still sniff it but it is subtle. ( Don't know how to describe)

Overall, I am satisfied with Ambre Sultan and will buy full bottle if can find good price. I think it is a complex fragrance. Hmm... I think it is very sensual, interesting and dark fragrance so definitely need to sample before purchase.

Nice review there bro. You've nailed everything there  rclxms.gif

Ambre Sultan is the granddaddy of all ambers says perfumeposse and I agree wholeheartedly :-

It's an acquired taste. I didn't fall in love with it instantly.

Thank for compliment! laugh.gif
I am still newbie in this hobby but I am really learn a lot from you guys
7 months ago I still know ntg bout perfume. I only know CK lol
Slowly learn from many experts here!!!

My taste do changed a lot over time. My initial preference more on citrusy, fresh one and now starting adore notes like incense, amber and oud.
Amouage Interlude man would be my primary target after I get myself DHI hahaha

Dont worry bro... This is the bottomless pit...

Sotd amouage memoir man..

Actually if u tried a very well constructed scent it ie hard for u to settle for second best... Green irish tweed is the one tat open tat door...

Then acqua di parma colonia oud... Then now rose...

Noir de noir, west side, rose 31, city love, portrait of a lady... The journey never stop...

Never ending story ...
I still remember my first buy
I went to Dior Counter and ask the salegirl
"Can I take a sniff on Dior Homme Intense? After sniffing, I found out DHI is too strong for me.( That time DHI just too potent for my taste)
"How about this ?" She let me sniff DH on paper and this is the beginning of my fragrance journey. smile.gif

I believe this journey gonna be AWESOME hehehehe

Whao! I'm surprised you like it instantly. It wasn't instant love for me and now it's one of my favorites. Many shy away from DH due to the prominent iris root note. I actually prefer DH better than DHI for that reason. I'm a BIG fan of powdery scents because to me, they are classy, elegant and metrosexual (BTW, I'm a straight married guy who pumps iron). If you like DH you may like Midnight in Paris by VC&A, which is another one of my favorites.

Dior is my favorite designer (and I'm not even touching on their private collection yet) because they are the game changer in the designer game with their modern releases. i.e. DH, DHI, Fahrenheit Absolute and Eau Sauvage Parfum. Like you, it changed my view on fragrances and started it all for me. Having said that, don't get me wrong about Chanel. Their modern releases are king of fresh scents in the designer game IMO. I like and wear BdC, AHEB and plan to get AHS after my BdC runs out.

When I review a scent (to see if it's full bottle worthy) I only look at (in order of priority), purpose, smell, quality, price and perfumer. I don't really look at the brand. What matters is the juice inside, purpose it's trying to achieve and of course, the price.



When I am just join this forum and you recommended me to try MiP AND I BLIND BOUGHT THE EDP.
MiP is one of my favourite scent. I admit that the opening is a bit too harsh for my nose at the beginning. It took me some time to adapt the rubber, tea vibe? I cannot get the citrus note that others claimed. After using for months, I normally apply it on night as I think it is very sexy, smoky and complex scent as well. I enjoy how the scent change over time and it slowly turn into soft and powdery vanilla after rubber opening note. The drydown of MiP is just so smooth and creamy scent. Benzoin? Tonka bean? I dont know what ingredient that lead to this scent but the basenote of MiP is divine. The bottle of MiP is just top notch and made it even more worth to collect.
I am really impressed with its performance. biggrin.gif MiP belong to balsamic accord ? Based on fragrantica, most of the fragrances that I love belong to powdery,woody and balsamic scent.

I already tried all Chanel men fragrances such as BDC, AHS line, Egoiste, Platinum Egoiste as well as Antaeus. AHS line I would said I enjoy all of them but they dont have the magic to tempt me into buying them. For Chanel, I am actually interested to get Antaeus and Egoiste. Antaeus to me have an unique scent which I seldom find in other brand. It is very dark and very mysterious. This is the impression that Antaeus give me. My brother and sister really dislike Antaeus LOL
