I like Oud Noir and Sahraa Oud too, thanks for introducing this house to me bro province86

Byredo will be available in Kens Gardens/KLCC somewhere in August/Sept too I heard. Subsequently they will remove AC from their inventory.

Still expensive, you still can get it cheaper online.

You must be brave enough to wear this, i have a sample of this cologne when I bought Grand Soir....for me, APIS is very challenging to wear...

Malaysia’s oud in its pure form is one of the best in the world i would say. High grade premium quality oud oil mostly originated from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. Next level would be from India/Sri Lanka.

Congrats bro! I almost buy oud ispahan until i tested oud palao, found oud palao is more challenging and interesting, end up bought a bottle from Diptyque Pavilion.

From the list you shared, I believed you have been watching Jeremy’s YT channel....good place to start, then you will get addicted and start looking for other reviewers channel too until at one point you’ll think that Jeremy is s*ck. But then you’ll come to realise that you are wrong, he is as good as other reviewers, just in his own way. For me personally, I like to watch Sebastian from Smelling Great Frag Review and Redolessence.

How can I forget Demi Rawling....hahahaha.....I love to watch her channel too and forgot to mention, Joy Amin and Cuba.

Anything in mind that less people using or hard to find cologne?

I 100% agreed with cocooh, try DHP or DHI first before you delve deep into niche scene. Personally, niche cologne is an “acquired taste”, it takes time for your olfactory bulb to learn and get used to those unique/exotic scent. But of course, you will be different from a mass if you wear niche. So, go out there and try out both DHI/DHP, get either one you like, force yourself to wear it even if you don’t really like the smell. This is one of the way to let your sensory to learn and tell your mind that the smell is good. Why DHI/DHP? They both sharing the same DNA but slightly different characteristic. They both smell niche enough, not so challenging but at the same time it could be less appealing and not for everyone.

Then, if you can take DHI/DHP, slowly put your nose into niche, look what MFK, Creed, Diptyque, TFPB can offer you. I don’t really recommend you to try Amouage yet at this stage as it is very challenging to wear and definitely not for everyone. If you can take those mild oud from MFK, Creed or Diptyque, then you may try Amouage. If you can’t even take Creed Royal Oud, forget Amouage as your sensory is not ready for oud/Middle Eastern style yet. But I maybe wrong since olfaction is very subjective.

Oh ya you’re right, Reflection Man - stronger version of Le Male. Sorry abg globe, no intention to offend you ya. But, i don’t really buy the idea of getting someone new in niche to try Amouage, LOL and i’m truly sure you know the reason behind it, hahahaha. It will really turn them off to go deeper in niche, am afraid. Let us slowly poison them which I believe you are very good at it. LOL

Yehlai, Go get Aventus....that was how i started my niche journey a couple years back hahahaha

You sound like House M.D LOL, my favourite TV series....too bad it has been discontinued ages ago...

Current formulation of Fahrenheit is too watery, less petrol vibe IMO (hahahaha).....good for a starter probably. He could also try E.Armani Stronger With You Intensely, Spicebomb or even 1million Prive. I have spicebomb and 1million prive and they both unique and quite loud. I tried EA Stronger with you Intensely before, but still thinking whether worth to get it or not.

Summon bro province86

Does anyone know if Tuscan Leather Intense is already available in Malaysia? Really looking forward for it.

It has been going on for quite sometimes.

I bought something from Ken’s when I noticed the promo but not AC. I’m not a fan of AC much except for Oud Saphir. Went there to redeem my RM500 voucher.

You can’t accept it now because your olfactory is not ready and not train for those type of scent yet. As what folks here recommended before, try Dior Homme Intense/Parfum or Guerlain L’Homme Ideal and see if you like it. If you want to skip designers and want to jump straight to niche bandwagon, I highly recommend you to try Parfums De Marly, there are few offerings that you can checkout if you want to be unique. Try Layton/Herod/Carlisle/Pegasus etc from this house and see which one you like.

MFK only available in Ken’s KLCC and BSC, but the range there is not as extensive as the pop up MFK outlet in Pavilion.

Unless you are a working teenager or have enough saving, just buy Dashing. Even if your parent is rich, save money if you plan to get a decent frag. Otherwise, stick with Dashing.

Kamalruzaini🤔🤔🤔....is that bro Globe🤣🤣

Ready to delve into the real Oud? Go find pure/raw oud seller, try our local trad oud and if you are lucky you might find oud cambodi as well.
