Because of you now i feel the urge to buy an amouage too hehehe. But something that the wifey also love. So Amouage Beach hut man is our choice 😁

Not for everyone of course..icy mint woody green with a touch of earthiness to it. It was just an ok scent for me when i 1st tried it through a sample. But after using it from time to time it really grew on me.

Now i love it. From the start you will get a blast of icy mint. Almost cleared my nose from sniffing to close hehe. I sense a grassy and earthy tone to it. Definitely from the vetiver note. Not sure about the galbanum...maybe thats whats taming the vetiver from becoming too earthy.

Overall not much transition on my skin...but not too linear also. It does become a bit "damp" or moist after a while.probably from the moss notes. Its Like having this cool aromatic dewy, grass & overgrown mint leaves as a garden infront of your house. Or should i say your beach hut.

Oh longevity is epic. 14 hours. Sillage & projection is just amazing. What more can i ask right.

P.s : yes. I do make decants of this. 5ml & 10ml 😁👍. PM tepi ok

Among all those i like bracken & figment. Still looking for a good price for those before pulling the trigger hehee. Imitation turns a little florally on me...but thats from only 1 testing. Wont judge it fully yet 😁

Tried Figment. Too animalic for me. Love Bracken due to the heavy patchouli.

I just know normally frag head will prefer older batch..
With lot of reformulation take place, usually newer batch will have less performance..

i see, but isn't perfumes has shelf life of 3 to 5 years from production date?
because based on one of the user review, he said upon checking that the item is in batch of 2016, so is this good or bad?

if taken good care, normally can last more than that..
some collector even have perfume more than a decade but still smell great...
basically fragrance is just alcohol + perfume oil, as we know alcohol can last very long d..

Hard to say because dunhill is soooo bersepah when it comes to gred ones. better look somewhere that u are 100% confident & preferrably from a seller that u can pretty much ask him anything about that perfume.

As for performance, some people say their fragrance becomes better in time. Some even suggest if your fragrance dont last long after buying it, just keep it outside of the box so that oxidation could somehow make the fragrance a little better. This is from my reading not my experiance. Huhu.

If u want to buy older batches just ask the seller how he keeps his stocks. Make sure he keeps them away from heat, damp places etc...( some people that i know do keep their fragrance in the bathroom cabinet area. Even new unopened ones. Bad place to keep your collection)

If you keep the perfumes in cold and dark places,they can last for decades you know...My Guerlain habit rouge edc for example is from 1985 and it smells wonderful.I like it better than current version (edt and edp) with longevity of 5 or 6 hours which is very good considering the perfumes is in eau de cologne (edc) concentration...

Thanks bro, appreciate your reply. Tried earlier but too bad, they don't ship it to Malaysia, not sure why. Now contemplating whether to pay additional 200 bucks for censored version or not. Anyway, thanks bro.

I had no experienced with 2012 version of Dior Homme Sport (DHS), so can't comment much. I didn't get any Iris note from the current DHS, so you're probably right. If you like Iris, you should consider taking DHI or DHP. If you haven't, please give it a try and you probably will like it. I have DHI and personally prefer DHI over DHP. 2 cents

Or get both. Both are very different to me so owning both is not a waste. One is sweeter while the other one is darker, richer. Dang I need to get them both but my bank account disagree with me.

Terbaik boss. I've never smell this one. Whenever im at the amouage store, this one always slips my mind. Always.

Do try out their ladies line to bro. A few of them smells amazing on guys . For instance If you like amouage gold try out beloved women. It has some vibe from gold men but with a touch of soft leather & florals.

To me its not a feminin kind of florals at all. On me It smells dryer & maybe abit powdery than gold man. I love this one. 😁

Oh, so that is what it was unfortunately it was not stronger and punchy than the rose smell from Opus X.

Noted Elinoir, thanks for the tips.

Unfortunately I returned the Amouage Fate the same day and exchange to Amouage Opus X

Before decision was made, I have sprayed Opus X on my left hand and Fate on my right hand, after about 30 minutes, I grew to love more for Opus X and went back to exchange, the powerful and striking rosy smell that makes me fall for Opus X while fate smell like any other regular perfume out there.

Where did you purchased your Amouage bro? Was it from Metrojaya MV? So you can exchange back the perfume you bought if you haven't opened the box? This is new to me tongue.gif

Yes The cumin. And sometime the cumin smells like BO. Am not a fan of the note but the cumin in epic woman however is masterfully done. It is noticeable but in a good way and supports the other note in bringing out the uniqueness of the scent.

Opus X is a very dominant rose metallic fragrance. Iinm it is said to be inspired by the violin. Truly a unique scent for me.
