Thx for the feedback bro. I also found that AC cologne has a decent longevity. Safer and not offensive. Looking at the Emeraulde Agar note breakdown, is this more oriental? Rose oud and sandalwood combo.

More oriental than Oud Saphir

I would say Oud Saphir is more reminiscent of Byredo's Black Saffron. It has more leather than oud.

for a cheap perfume category, just wanna ask experts in here. hows the kenneth cole mankind's smell? for 100ml around rm260

Hi bro, can you update us on your shipment status from Selfridges. Still being held by BPFK (Farmasi)?

So , I got my parcel. Normally they will release once and give warning letter not to do it anymore.i used to kena before buying other hair product from Mr Porter. This time I used different recipient name ..Lol...

I ev3n called the pharmacy department to clarify...th3 answer they give is they just do according to what written in law...in short , all cosmetic and health supplement stuff are banned to import other than hand carry ..unless you got permit or license .

Not sure about Kenneth Cole as I don’t have any experienced with this brand before. But with that allocation, I would suggest you find ‘Tester’ bottle from reputable/legit sellers out there and get a better perfume from a well known designer brand in frag world. Look for Bvlgari, Paco Rabanne, JPG, Versace or Armani. You can get perfumes from these reputable designers at below RM300 here in Malaysia. Pay a visit to any Sephora and test all you can before purchase.

Guys, whats the different between duty free and normal perfumes. Some say that duty free the smell not last so long. Is it true? If for cigarette i can differentiate between duty free n normal one. But for perfumes i have no experience yet

They are all similar.

Can I get a comment/review for YSL Y EDP? I can't seem to find sample or decant online, and the YSL shops are like 40min~1hour drive for me.
Thanks

Tested that a while back. A pleasant scent. People pleaser. Certainly won't offend anyone. However it's not unique in the sense like a niche would smell like. But definitely a good fragrance.

TF PB Reserve Collection is now available in KLCC. Blind bought Amber Absolute and seriously no regret. I intended to buy MFK Grand Soir back in Dec until someone mentioning TF is re-releasing some of their discontinued PB line, thus I hold buying it. I like Grand Soir scent especially the opening. Too bad the opening doesn’t last very long and it dries down to a vanilla dominance scent which kinda reminds me of PdM Pegasus. Amber Absolute opens with warm, dark, smokey, ambery sweet and heavy incense notes. Absolutely reminds me of Grand Soir, but without benzoin. It is pretty linear i would say as the scent didn’t change by time on my skin. It projects beastly and longevity is on par with Tobacco Vanille. For me TV is the best performing TF PB so far. I haven’t had a chance to rock on it yet, and my review above is solely based on 2 sprays i had on my skin, then walk around KLCC for an hour until decided to purchase it. To conclude, this is a beast fragrance, and not for everyone. If you like Tobacco Vanille and Tobacco Oud, this is for you. For those who tried/have Grand Soir, AA is the opening of Grand Soir with add-on incense but without benzoin. Before I walk-off the store, decided to test GV and blind bought it since it is packaged with After Shaved at a single bottle price. I’m a happy man now.

This post has been edited by ferros: Feb 27 2019, 11:01 PM

I can confirm that Italian Cypress is available but can’t remember if I spotted velvet gardenia. Tried those available on display and to my nose, only 4 stood up - Amber Absolute, Arabian Wood, Rive d’Ambre and Bois Marocain. Ended up with Amber Absolute. If I have extra allocation, I would take Rive d’Ambre as well, but found that the scent has similarity with Venetian Bergamot and I’ve max out my allocation.

Thanks yo, may pay them a visit later
