Hey guys,

sounds crazy, but how does one be a perfumer ?

To be perfume seller is one thing, but to be a perfume maker ? where or how does one start ? looks like a interesting job.

curious.

Was in the lift at the mall today, a couple walked in.

Smelt something which caught my attention........... Watermelons !!! Awesome smell, but i do not know what fragrance it is. Its very strong, the whole lift is filled with the smooth, sensual watermelon smell.

Not sure if its the lad or the lady wearing as the smell seems unisex. Either one can wear it or both of them are wearing it. However, i think it may be a men's fragrance.

What i know is the smell is friggin awesome, and strong enough to fill the whole lift. Definitely smells like a sweet watermelon. A very pleasant smell.

Any idea on what it may be ?

Hi bro wazzapp,

tried ck summer 2012 & ck summer 2013 today. Both smells great but is not the 'one' i was looking for. The one i smelt is somewhat similar but have a much stronger watermelon note in it. From what i rmb, the watermelon smell is very nice and obvious.

Have not tried the D&G recommended by other poster. Cant find it in department stores.

Still thanks for reco smile.gif

Hey guys,

Am new to this forum.

Have just recently developed an interest in fragrances - just purchased Acqua di Gio some time ago for day-to-day use, and more recently Chanel's Allure Homme Edition Blanche and Platinum Egoiste for more special occasions.
Would like to add a few more to my collection (e.g. would love to get my hands on Dior's Fahrenheit and a couple more), but would not be able to afford it at the current price range at departmental stores. Any idea where I can get original fragrances at discounted prices from reliable suppliers?

Also, any idea where I can test niche fragrances (e.g. Creed) around KL? Have read reviews on Green Irish Tweed/Aventus/Millesime Imperial etc. saying they're fantastic and has gotten me curious.

Well the more a fragrance is being hyped, the higher the price goes due to demand i guess.
Last time when TM PH & PM were still limited, they were selling crazy prices in ebay by speculators.

Is TM PH & PM available in retail now ?

i went there too... and confirmed my theory that Creed is way overpriced just like Bond no 9... im more interested with their Diptyque line up...

Same for me, was actually quite disappointed at Creed especially Aventus.

Tried Aventus for the 1st time today, and all i get is smoke... no pineapple whatsoever, just smoke doh.gif
Asked my bro and gf to sniff, all 3 of us have the same opinion. Worst fragrance we've tried ever =/ ( ive no idea what batch, nor do i know how to check )

To me :

1. MI is so similar to SJ-unforgivable. Its like a lighter version of Unforgivable.
2. Green Vetyver smells nice, like clean grassy soap. Very fresh.
3. VIW smells like Malibu, Bodyshop coconut lotion/shampoo.
4. GIT is similar to Davidoff Cool Water, but seems much better.

1 - 4 is quite nice but all of them is too light, does not last long & project. Not worth it for me, lucky i did not blindbuy sweat.gif

Have not tried diptyque. Will try it someday =)

Really? And people says it's unique...?  Okayyy..

Do U have a sample of it? The SA said that it was quite long since VIW was last restocked..

Ahahah, well,
its one of the scent which will reminds you of Malibu =). If you like Malibu, Bodyshop coconut lotion, or anything coco-nutty, you will love this =)

Sry, i do not have a sample of VIW. I tried VIW in SG Vivocity.
