Same goes to FF, it was stated as LE in TF US site when it was first launch back in 2017, but still available until today. More on marketing strategy I guess.

I’m hoping RC will be there forever and not just for limited time only.

No, may I know how did you order them?

Congrats!! let us know your thoughts

Thanks for sharing. Did you notice any similarities with Tobacco Oud? I found both are sharing the same DNA, probably came from smoky and incense-y note...? For me AA is gorgeous and very upscale. Scent wise, it is a beast but performance still can’t beat tobacco vanille. The new PB King in my PB collection.

Received whatsapp from one of the TF SA, Rive D’Ambre has been restocked, but only 2 bottles are available. Too bad I have max out my allocation for this month, have to wait for next month. To my nose, Rive D’Ambre sharing the same DNA as Venetian Bergamot. But Rive D’Ambre is slightly warmer and intense due to the present of amber accord.

I trust and had experience dealing with PerfumeBerry and luxuryperfume. You can get the sample vials from them.

Van Cleef Ambre Imperial - go and check it out. I have sample and still deciding whether to a get full bottle or not.

Went to MFK to check out Gentle Fluidity today, both silver and gold edition are nice. Silver edition lean towards male and gold more towards female. Nevertheless both are unisex frags. Gold edition smells very unique as I never smell anything like that before. But Silver a bit generic, to my nose it is something like a mix of Creed GIT+Aventus, nice but not unique, still worth to check out. Currently sampling Grand Soir, they don’t have a sample vial but luckily they have a left over juice from their old tester bottle, approx 1ml left. Asked from SA and she gave it to me.



SOTD : Daytime BR540 extrait, nighttime Grand Soir, perfect combi it seems

If not mistaken, izam7 had experienced with Rirana, maybe he can share with us.

I think they are the only local Niche brand that has expanded their business to overseas. Really wanna know the nose behind their frags, since quite number of westerners already reviewed their line, including Cubaknow.

province86 kindly share your thought on FM Musc Ravageur bro. Is it good?

Eh can't say like that, need to sample first. Anyway, looks like you are decanting Habdan too, and I found the notes are quite interesting (myrhh+olibanum=wow). Mind sharing how this beast smells like bro? Interested to try....

Wow....PdM lover spotted, I have Herod and Layton from this house, love both very much. Might be getting Habdan decant from you to test out. How about Carlisle? Just ordered sample vial to test out, since Redolessence place it at no 1 spot for his PdM collection. Heard Oajan also not bad.

Received my Oajan and Carlisle sample vial earlier today. First impression:-

Carlisle - Agreed with you, the opening was a reminiscent of Herod+Layton, and to my amateur nose I get more Layton than Herod, which I really love. The drydown is very beautiful, but a little bit boring since it reminds me of YSL LNDL with vanilla added to it (not the same though, but it has LNDL vibe). Full bottle worthy? To me, I need to give more wearing time before decided to purchase. I already have both Herod and Layton, so this one can wait.

Oajan - The opening is a bit piercing and sweet. I get sweet honey+sweet Tonka, then benzoin slowly came to the surface after a while. Do I like it....too early to say. Definitely need more wearing time in order to judge it worthiness.

Too bad, can't find Layton Ex sample to test out, since it was being hyped too. province86 Share with us your thought on Layton Ex when it's in your possession.

Woww....already available here bro? Another fougere indeed after Beau De Jour and Fougere D’Argent....

Guys,

Check this out, another local Indy Perfumer featured in Fragrantica. Anyone had tried this before?

Where did you guys checkout the pricing? For that kind of price/ml, they really need to be very very good in order to sustain and to be in this game for long time.

As a beginner, i suggest to start with CK One. It won’t hurt your wallet much, nice scent, mass appealing and decent performance. Don’t expect 4-6 hours of longevity but the projection is quite good though. 2 cents

Don’t forget LV, Kens or Chanel Les Exclusif too....😃😃

Is this gonna be your first perfume ever? If the answer is yes, trust me, you can’t go wrong with CK1. Somemore, the price is at a lower side, so even if you don’t like it, you won’t feel so bad. You can put up for sale in garage section, and I’m pretty sure someone else will catch it.

Got complimentary sample of Diptyque's newly released - Eau De Minthe. Nice, pleasant and fougere-like fresh scent, suitable with our climate condition (hot and humid). I got a lot of mint in the opening, like straight in your face kind of mint scent. For my amateur nose, the opening wasn't so unique, as it has colgate tooth paste or Gillete shaving cream kindda vibe. But somehow it reminds me the opening of Creed Viking, without any prominent spices and saltiness (i don't get colgate/gillete vibe from Viking though.) Then after about half an hour, floral notes started to surface and toned down the strong mint scent a bit, but I still got that colagate vibe a little bit. At certain point during drydown, I got an earthy, sweet and pepperish smell and sudenly reminds me of Dior Sauvage (no joke). Performance is just average I would say with soft projection and moderate longevity. Full bottle worthy? I've been wearing this for 2 days in a row and asked my wife for her opinion too, and I probably pass this one. Lets wait for the new LV released and TF Lavender Extreme to arrive to our shore.

My new haul, acquired recently.

1) LV Ombre Nomade (Blind Bought this after saw bro chiahau hype about it, and by looking at the notes in Fragr*nt*ca. Love this stuff so much)



2) MFK Grand Soir (Been sampling it for quite sometimes, and finally decided to get a full bottle)



3) Chanel AHEB (Been sampling this for sometime too, good addition to my existing AHSEE and definitely be part of my daily office scent rotation)



LV Ombre Nomade - I blind bought this not because of the brand name, but due to the quality of the juice and of cause the smell. Ask the SA to spray on my skin and it is a love at the first sniff. Gorgeous opening I would say. I can tell that the Oud oil used in this juice is top notch and blended very well. Oud done in perfection, where you don't get that skunky and pungency of the natural pure oud oil, resulting a pleasent, smooth and elegent oud fragrance. I got that incensy and sweet benzoin in the opening too which I believe tamped down and rounded off the oud. After a while, I got a sweet and beautiful raspberry, similar to what I got from TF Tuscan Leather, and surprisingly I smelled a hint of leather too. I don't find leather listed as one of the note, but I'm pretty sure there is a leather note in here. Or maybe it is just my brain interpretation of a well blended saffron+oud+birch....I'm not sure. The dry down was something to die for, a sweet floral with a hint of oud and leather scents were reminiscent of TF Tuscan Leather, and Tuscan Leather being one of the frag that I love and appreciate the most. Performance is superb, it projects well around 2-3 hours and longevity easily hit 8 hours on my skin, but I can still smell it the next morning on my shirt. 2 cents

Hi,

Bought from www.luxuryperfumemalaysia.com or you may visit their physical store in KWC KL.

Thanks

I’m very particular about authenticity, and I won’t recommend if they are not legit.
