Just go for this sport flanker instead of the vintage release.. Perhaps my nose still not ready for vintage scent sweat.gif
Somehow,i really like rose base frag... As you try and sampling more and more rose scent,You will encounter there's many facet of rose that can produce..
Really a sophisticated notes. Well,I guess real man wear almost everything.. doesn't matter is a rose or jasmin or ylang-ylang.
Remind me the rose that i dislike,While i first venture into rose base frag was Rosam By Histoires de Parfums.. a bit let down... perhaps not for me.

Haha who is the one open up a rosey path for u brows.gif brows.gif

Rosam really an acquired taste.. it is like soaking a double A paper in a rose water lol

Rose really a truely a unisex note. can be worn by both sexes. I still can remember the first ever rose i am exposed to- no other than FM Portrait of a Lady.. the tart, raspberry and earthy patchouli rose... then noir de noir, rose d'arabie and the list go on and go on lol

My fav roses of all time (im sorry that i am biased towards rose oud combo)
1. By Kilian Rose Oud
2. MFK Oud Silk Mood
3. Tom Ford Noir de Noir

Great brand? Go mainstream probably.

Something along the line of Chanel, Dior and etc.

Side note : Am on Creed Asian Green Tea today.

Either I am doing it wrong or I blast too little until I can't smell it myself laugh.gif

As for the hantaran, I really recommend you to go to the shopping mall
eg Sogo, Parkson, AEON etc as their cosmetic dept offer a lot of
choices (nice wrap includes all the perfume, bath gel etc).

Hi Izam,Good to see you here.
For the regular version idk,I nv tried before.. Maybe my nose still not yet ready for the regular version.
A stronger and more potent compared to the sport version... Prefer this softer and slight powdery dry-down..
Nice and well worth fragrance..

Haven't tried the sport version but I find the newer Tom Ford Noir (EdT) smelling like the original Habit Rouge, which I quite like.

Wow im quite surprised to see someone saying noir smelling like the ori habit rouge than shalimar...

Tat is why i find fragrance really unique as each nose picks up totally diff scent...

I do came across habit rouge before i settle for noir, to me noir has this backbone of shalimar with the slight dirty vanilla. What i get from hb is straight of powdery lemon which leans closer to lemongrass and to me n gf this is way too dated for our noses and noir opens with powdery vanilla bit metallic violet n smidge of civet skank n she also dun like noir as she say it is abit smelly haha

But after a few hrs of noir on my skin, she say it smell quite nice lol...

Quite interesting one scent can be smell so differently

I think you referred to the EdT version of HR as I don't recall seeing any EdP in KL. Both are quite different in smell. I have samples of both concentrations given by one of our fragheads Joey, who is also a die-hard Guerlain fan. The EdT version of Tom Ford Noir has no civet in it and I don't find it dirty. I think the smelly Noir your gf is complaining is the EdP version (that you own), which is a dirty patchouli vanilla, which I also like. Even though I tested TFN (EdP) first in 2013 and fell in love with it but I bought tester of PAPHI instead because it has a touch of myrrh and it's much cheaper.

As I am typing this I've just received an email from fragX informing that my Sahara Noir has just been shipped out by DHL Express, which I've just ordered during lunch time today. They only restocked it last night and it's selling like hot cakes (qty was 18 this morning) :-
- http://www.fragrancex.com/products/_cid_pe...__products.html

For RM380 I consider it reasonable. I saw it available in Changi and KLIA2 last year, which was priced around RM450 to 500-ish if not mistaken. I think it's getting harder to find now. I didn't see it in Changi when I was there few months ago. It's not cheap at evil bay too. I have not had the opportunity to try Amber Absolute but some say they are rather similar. If you're a fan of Church incense and amber or find Incense Avignon too soft, Sahara Noir should be right up your alleys. While Incense Avignon is a quiet mass in stone cold Medieval Church, Sahara Noir is high mass in wooden Church in the middle of desert biggrin.gif

I still can handle SN. But Avignon is too 'heavy' for me to handle sweat.gif
