They are finally here, plus a free new release, squid.

First impressions :-
t-rex = smokey ash, kind of reminds me of Amouage Interlude.
camel = sweet dates, kinda of reminds me Serge Lutens Arabia.
squid = opening is weird, too avantgarde for me. It then mellows into slightly aquatic accords.

t-rex and camel are instant love for me. Going to give a few proper wearings first.

Sold my 13t01 batch few months back. For 13 batches, prepare to pay $7-8 per ml. Should be no problem to find.

Late in the aventus game. Just wanted to get one vintage Aventus bottle and I'm good. Would want to get it here in Malaysia for easier transaction.

Has anyone purchase from luxury perfume malaysia before? They have a retail shop at kenanga mall and an online shop as well. Just wanna ask if they are selling authentic perfume since their price is cheaper than the market price.

Perfume is a dangerous hobby compared to others for one very simple reason to me.

You can't constantly buy new watches, new handbags / manbags or whatever. You need to wait for stocks or the right one that attracts you enough to spend.

But perfume is mostly readily available and the barrier of entry is not particularly high. So the risk of spending more in long time is wayyyy higher compared to other hobbies tongue.gif

And that's the reason why I refrain from stores like Henry Jacques and etc tongue.gif
*
Agree on this. Also temptation when having a sale/promotion adds up to possible impulsive buying. that's why you need to test first the frag before you commit in buying full bottle.

Just tried Jo Malone Oud Bergamot today, my favorite oud so far. Also Creed Aventus finally (Armaf really did a good job). Surprisingly Creed here is selling cheaper than FragranceX.. Ken only sell less than 1.2k for 100ml. Have to keep reminding myself to stick with designer brands don't start it, don't.
*
Yes don't start it. And if you decide to buy 1 bottle stick to it. In my experience Creed Aventus gets better as it gets older . Just make sure you store it properly .

Btw, how do you guys store your perfumes?

does not seem like a good idea since this will cause a sudden change of temperature when you take it out to spray and put back into the cooler again

because was browsing lazada and saw ah Cheap wine cooler at 649RM

Sorry bro. I didn't read carefully.

I personally thought of getting one to store my most expensive and precious ones but after reading some comments from fragrantica forum members it really isn't needed. I don't use one and my perfumes I bought many years ago are still good as new.
*
Thanks guys. For now, I keep my perfumes, niche and designers in a linen storage box bought from Home's Harmony. Put some silica gel and charcoal inside,
to remove moist and humidity inside.

SOTD. Aventus 15Y11. My most favourite  aventus so far. Bought a 50ml decant of this batch few years ago and immediately fell in love.

Nice man, where did you get that 15? Hard to get a 120ml anymore of aventus

There are no more 120ml Aventus to be released. Last batch for 120ml was 17q11.

Not updating anymore from 17oct 😢

Same from my end. Latest update from USPS (departed from KLIA transit hub October 17). No updates after that, I don't know if
it already cleared customs. As last time once it reaches KLIA hub, further details can be checked from Pos Laju tracking website. icon_question.gif

Is there a way to contact customs in case my parcel is stuck in customs?
I am not confident Pos Laju will be able to fix the issue within the week

Yes im worried too now. It's been almost a week since the last update Oct 17. Hopefully, parcel is just in the warehouse on queue waiting for the Poslaju fix.
