Did some reading at Hardwarezone Singapore. Biggest takeaway aside from the cheap places to buy fragrance in singapore is a india Lazada type of site = takeit2day. com ; near full line of Armaf , Rasasi , Afnan fragrances at very good prices. You have the choice of leaving a remark during checkout whereby you might indicate something like " no DHL express for my order" . I have not try it yet but might in the future.

Just to offer another alternative to buy fragrance online .

I see a new fraghead in the making with interests on specific note, bravo to that! Yeah, vetiver has many facets depending on how the perfumer chose to use it (either from natural or synthetic). The best way is to get your nose on vetiver essential oil from one of those home aromatherapy stores.

The following guide should fill you in :-

One of the best vetiver scents you can consider is Encre Noire by Lalique if you're on a tight budget as it smells very similar to the more expensive Sycomore by Chanel. It's not really my favorite as a main note in a perfume but I absolutely adore Eau Sauvage Parfum by Dior which I am wearing to work today. Affordable niche quality smell with excellent performance. Though it's simple composition (bergamot, vetiver and myrrh), it smells very complex and creamy smooth.

Some nice vetiver worth explore.

- Creed Original Vetiver

- Tom Ford Grey Vetiver

- Lalique Encre Noire

- D&G Light Blue Disvover Vulcano


Here's a great one and to me,I love the 4 mention. For full blast of vetiver,Try Creed & Lalique.. Both Fragrance house brings out a diff face of Vetiver.
Well Worth it.

Feeding my fetish crave for balsamic,sweet amber,myrhh & warmy vanilla scent.

SOTD : ANNICK GOUTAL Ambre Fétiche

Nice one! I find the styrax just a little too much for my liking else it's full bottle worthy for me.

Thanks bro!
I just wear it once a while,Sometimes when the crave hit you. You got no choice but just to sprinkle some of your fav scent.
Solid display and packaging in a nice presentation box. Looks grand... But the price for this is full bottle is really affordable.

Wow...

I have always imagined a list like this :

1 perfume expensive n nice (budget 1k+) = Creed Aventus or Tom Ford Tuscan Leather / Tobacco Vanile

2 for daytime use = Chanel Allure Homme Sport + Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme / Armani Acqua Di Gio

2 For night use = Chanel Bleu de Chanel + Dolce Gabbana The one Edp or YSL La Nuit d L'homme

if you want to go Clubbing then need to use high projection high silage like JPG Le Male / Versace Eros / Paco Rabanne 1 Million or Invictus

This fragrance i also got heard bout it, and seem like it has been came out quite some time. But i usually hesitate in brought these fragrance, as what i heard, usually designer fragrance most likely will go through some reformulation, that end up losing it original personality and performance.

Thanks bro, is the performance good? i usually hate to bring a decant bottle while hanging out, so a fragrance that was long lasting was my 1st choice. I heard D&G light blue has been reformulated and water down. It was totally different with it vintage version, not sure is it true, since both i havent smell before.

The D&G Light Blue Disvover Vulcano is it different with Normal Light Blue? I got tried out normal D&G light blue in sephora, nice scent, but not long lasting on my skin.

We always discourage blind buying unless you know what you are doing and are willing to take the risk (I'm guilty as charged). No need to worry too much about reformulations if you always try before buying. Buy only the version you like (either vintage or current). All fragrances are governed by IFRA and hence, reformulation but lower end designer house will most likely reformulate to cut cost in addition to restrictions imposed by IFRA. Dior and Chanel are high-end designers. You can read more about IFRA at :-

The original Eau Sauvage was first released in 1966, now that one has been reformulated for sure because there are talks of reformulation everywhere and I have also tested both versions myself (own the current version). The Parfum however, was first released in 2012 and I have not heard of any reformulation about it. To be sure, you can always head down to one of your local perfume stores and sniff the tester bottle (if available), get its batch code and check its manufacture date at checkcosmetic.net. The last time I checked (two years ago) when I was travelling abroad, still smelled the same. Alternatively, you can also read or ask in perfume forums like fragrantica.com, basenotes.net or Facebook Fragrance Friends (closed group, invite only).

SOTD - Interlude Man by Amouage
This one is a smokey BBQ Amber. One of the best from Amouage. Mine is a tester bottle without the fancy cap and no, I didn't apply it when my baby is around because this beast fills up a room with just a few spritz.

Enjoy a smoooth,Green and refresh earthy vetiver from Creed. Calming and gently project the scent.

SOTD : CREED ORIGINAL VETIVER

Bro, where u get it from? Mind to share?

Pm me bro.

SOTD - Absolue Pour le Soir by MFK
This is not for the faint of heart but it's my perfect animalic amber. What does it smell like to my nose? It's a resinous labdanum with famous urine accord from vintage Kouros (due to honey). This funky beast has excellent performance on my skin.

It took 18 days. But it is here. No warning letter but need to pay GST and clearance fee.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Nice! How much you pay for the GST and clearance? appoint pos malaysia clear for you?

GST =66.20
Duty n GST processing charge by courier = 53.
Total 119.2.
Customs n courier do all the work. I collect and pay only.
Custom clearance around 8 days bro.
So lump sum for this is around 1.25k
