Why do you like it? I found numbers of positive review, but nothing special when I test it at least for me. Just want to hear your opinion.. Maybe compare it to your other collection..

i bought a few fragrances from zara few days ago. IMO, they are good value for money

Zara 9.0 - very similar to dior homme intense, good 12 hours longevity and moderate projection but i have problem wearing winter scent in hot weather
Zara W/END till 3:00AM - full of pineapple, 15-20% like aventus, some ppl even ask me whether im wearing dior sauvage. it does smell like a more fruitier sauvage if u get a whiff from a distance. good 10 hours longevity and weak projection
Zara Seoul - invictus clone, average 6-7 hours longevity, moderate projection
Zara Seoul Winter - another invictus clone, better longevity could hit 10 hours if u spray on clothing
Zara Orange Zest - full of orange like aqva amara, but not a clone of it. can be used as a work scent. average 6 hours longevity and weak projection
Zara Man Blue Spirit - this is the classic of zara fragrances. smell like invictus aqua. with stronger aquatic note. 10 hours longevity on me and moderate projection in first 2 hours
Zara Aromatic Future - dior sauvage clone. if u own dior sauvage this one can be used to layer it. 8 hours longevity and moderate projection
*
Great review. Where do you bought all these Zara perfume? Any tester provided in the shop?

SOTD:

Givenchy Play Intense. Used to give me headache because of the strong openings, now after a while, I get used to it. Great projection, unique smells. As a newbie in fragrance who are too used in fresh, sporty, lemony and citrusy scent, this made me want to try new kind of smell somethings like oud, rose, all the gourmand scent.

Lazada is selling fake fragrance?
*
Lazada is the platform of individual/retail sellers selling their goods. Just like Mudah.my but in a different way. So, some of the sellers sells fake goods. Fragrances included. before this, I often view lazada to get fragrance with cheaper price but the price are just the same like buying from reputable online seller if not higher, and you are taking the risk of getting fake fragrance.

Hmm is this legit? I'm guessing no right.

Can anyone suggest where else could I buy genuine perfumes online in Malaysia?
Are there any reputable sellees here in LYN? Or from FB, Twitter etc?
*
The link is broken. But if you're looking to buy Creed Aventus(which is on higher price side), just spend a little bit more to make sure you get the real thing. Not worth it to save few ringgit and get the fake.

A fren of mine ordered from FragX just days ago.  VAT charges imposed & they use the dreaded DHL again !!  Hope no issue with Customs / MOH.

First time buying from FragX by myself, after few weeks of thinking because of some bad review, afraid my money will be gone just like that. Happen before when I join buy with 1 forumer from FragX too, money gone, he also gone.

I thought the shipping fees is free, and no VAT charges. But, just YOLO. Hopefully I'll get the things. This time use paypal, if item didnt reach, can try ask for refund, maybe.

why are you being charged the shipping fees? u didint apply the free69 code izzit?

Yup my order oso otw and have the VAT charge....but its being shipped via FedEx. If not mistaken FedEX arrives at Subang instead of KLIA :-)
*
I didn't apply any promo code I don't even know one. They just email me 5 minutes ago stated my order just finish packaging and will be send using DHL. I'm not sure I should worry or what. sweat.gif I really hope this time the order will reach me, 2 or 3 weeks also would be okay.

QUOTE(attacusatlas @ Sep 8 2017, 10:59 PM)
I sampled the Amouage at Isetan KLCC and gotten myself a few samples from the SA with one being the Lyric. Love it to the max.
*
Did you get one after that? My problem is I am not comfortable sampling without buying a bottle, but if the price different is too much I might as well grab a bottle elsewhere(online or whatever). Are their SA okay? I just order a lyric man decant from a forumer here. But would like to try their other collection too.

Wore this to office yesterday. This is really a crowd pleaser. There had been few times I got ask what I wear when I wore this(mens and women). Most of the time during first few hours after I spray, morning time. I remember testing perfume at Sephora last year, and Dior Sauvage is one of them. I test a lot of perfume and couldn't identify which is which. Walk out the store, there is this dominant smell that I really like and at that time I thought that smell was Givenchy Gentleman Only Casual Chick. Went to the diff store(SASA coz of cheaper price) the next week and got frustrated after sampling the Gentleman Only Casual Chick because it is not one that I like, tested few others and couldn't find the same smell(Sauvage was not there is Sasa that time).

Fast forward few months, I smell sauvage on my cousin, he didn't even know what he wore, and take out the bottle from his car when I ask him what is he wearing. Saw Sauvage, on the same bought it at Sephora, use it the most from what I have from that time. Used to like it very much, now it is okay, getting a bit boring of how it smell though. But still, people around me like it. biggrin.gif

Sauvage is that fragrance if you want to have only ONE that can go with everything in every situation. Super versatile and pleasing to the nose right. However if smelled closely i find it a bit harsh. its the ambroxan. how many sprays did you use ?
*
Yes, agreed. But I still wouldn't pick Sauvage even if I have to choose 1 fragrance for every occasion. Maybe I would when I first get it, but after a while I find out that there are other versatile fragrance that is not as boring as Sauvage. Depends on the situation, I would normally go with 4-5 spray. I couldn't smell it after 2-3 hours but people around can even after 6 hours.

Really didn't expect FragX(DHL) to deliver the fragrance this fast, I would be happy enough if it is within 1 month. But 6 days? I order on 8th of September and received it today. Wow. I am so happy right now, haven't open the box yet though. Will spend my night smelling this new fragrances yeay. I will order again if the fragrance are genuine.

Joining the hype, one of the fragrance that I received during my FragX order, been wearing it for 3 straight days. Everyone likes it especially my gf. I glad that I bought this.

Back in 2011, I tried Aventus in a decants, 5/10ml. During that time, the only fragrance that I have is ADG. So, when I try Aventus, I didn't like it, and wonder how is this fragrance being hype that much. For me only ADG and some other citrusy fragrances smells good.

And first time I try CDNIM I can't remember that Aventus smells like this, but from time to time that Aventus DNA is showing more and more.

Yours is original. Look at mine. Purchased from ajax91 who claimed to be original. In fact I have asked him if it's original as I know there are fakes in the market and he confidently say yes. 100% fake. A simple google search or even your pic above will show that he emblem is positioned in middle. Fake one is on left. Even the chain is not chained to the emblem. Lol. Don't get me started on the box.

bro, the emblem can be moved because it has adhesive stick at the back of the emblem. It might be during the transfer to pos the emblem move to the side. How about the performance? And what about the batch code at the box and bottom of the bottle? I really wish it is an original because I don't think bro ajax91 will sell fake frag.

edit : and i see nothings wrong with the box

Bro the adhesive of the emblem is strong so I doubt it can be move by just pushing it. Anyway I just tried pushing it with moderate strength and it doesn't even move. So it's impossible for the emblem to move to left during transit.

Box glue is not glued properly and the side is peeling off.

Batch code as the box:

I'm no expert but I did compare your box and bottle with mine, and your fragrance seems legit. And the good thing is at the bottom of your box, it is stated that your bottled are from 2016 production which should have a better performance. I suggest you test the juice itself, how is the performance, the smell and longevity. From that you'll know the originality.


QUOTE(ajax91 @ Sep 16 2017, 11:17 PM)
It's just a defective unit.
How would someone doing a fake bottle and put the emblem way off from the original?

btw the adhesive stick at the back of emblem is not sticky enough. u can actually pull off the emblem with ease
*
I did try pulling the emblem and it does need some force, but it is moveable. You can suggest him try the performance of the juice, or any other way to convince him. Hopefully things can be settle in the best way.

Busy sunday morning with this Salvatore Ferragamo F Black, strong fragrance. I got a mix between individuel, dior homme intense, smells great. Many said that this carry vibe of la nuit d'lhomme by YSL, but sadly I don't own that fragrance, so cannot comment on that.

My fren's parcel just got delayed & detained by MOH - Pharmacy dept Kuching for testing.  Only his 2nd purchase from FragX.  Bad luck.  Think will be issued a warning later & nex purchase detained will be confiscated by MOH.  FragX DHL really a no no.

Sorry to hear that. But, is there anyway to make sure FragX didn't use DHL, like during the payment we can opt to choose other courier? Because I actually plan to place the next order soon. But knowing this happen to your friend, I'm quite worry now.

have tried email them a few times to request for specific courier but none were entertained

What are the percentage that the items will be return to us after MOH/Custome checking. Slight delay should be okay for me as I didn't need that things urgently as long as it arrived. The things that scared me is actually if they detained the things permanently.

QUOTE(edwardleong @ Sep 18 2017, 05:51 PM)
I broke my promise.... after quite some time, i cant control myself and bought my wedding day scent

[attachmentid=9147184]

[attachmentid=9147210]

This is also one of bottle where i found the new reformulation is better than original

I first sniff this scent 2 years ago in klia.. my impression were meh.. feminine green powder way too soapy celery rose scent.. fast forward 2 years.. resniff at metrojaya.. boom so so so good rich oppulent rose scent for men..

Immediately this must wear for my actual wedding day and bought it.

It is still a greeh fresh rose, but the soapiness, and greeness have been toned down and hence making the lime and rose even more kaw and best part is performance is way better.. projection and longevity is off the chart.. 2 on chest 1 on back of the neck can last whole day i mean whole day and projects even after dinner

The incense is still here however it is so soft here yet blend well with other notes to make it smell sweet and slight peppery

This scent is truely a remarkable rose scent. Love it to the max and it is up there on par with kilian rose oud, dior oud ispahan, le labo rose 31, tom ford noir de noir, mfk lumiere noire pour homme, FM portrait of a lady as the must have magnificent 7 rose scents

Anyway my morning wedding day scent - Xerjoff Nio; wedding dinner scent - Amouage lyric man
*
I bought a 5ml decant of Lyric Man last week from one of the forumer here Izam. Please noted that I'm very new to fragrance, almost all of my collection are designers, and most of them are very famous or can be said as "most complimented" fragrance as mentioned always as in youtube videos. I also don't own any oud based fragrance, most of what I have are either fresh, sweet, soapy, gourmandy.

So when I first tested Lyric Man, my thought were it smells smooth, I didn't get rose as much in the opening, maybe until few minutes or so. But, I am wondering what is so special about this perfume that all of the experience collectors, and fragrances sifu like so much. For me, it does smells smooth, rosey and nice, but doesn't have a wow factor when I smelled it. It is just nice. Maybe this is the difference between people like me that wears perfume to smells good of course but at the same time want attraction and compliment from surrounding people. Compared to some of the sifus like u, that wears for your own, and doesnt care if people smell it on you or not, and like it or not. Am I right? Or it is just because I have an untrained nose, so it will take some times for me to like this kind of scents?

Don't get me started on bro Ton3 fragrances collection, I'm quite sure that most of his newest collection that I never heard of smells weird(sorry tonny bro), those animalic scents, I wonder how it smells. But I guess he is wearing is for himself, so who cares.


By the way, congratulations on your wedding. May u have a wonderful day, long lasting relationship, and cute kids(if you want one, or two). I'm sure you'll smell amazing bro smile.gif
