Looks like we have new experts in da house. Keep the sniffing and sharing going

Get the EdP for better performance. Smells the same as EdT.

The reference to Ridsect is correct. Bvlgari Black smells similar to MiP too. BB smells closer to Ridsect with more prominent burnt tyre note. At least that's the impression I got when I first smelled it.

Thinking to let go my YSL Kouros (100ml/current formulation/no box) for cheap. Just missing a few sprays. No box because it was a gift set with shower gel. PM me if anyone is interested.

There has been talks of it being discontinued but it is still listed on their website :-
- http://www.vancleefarpels.com/eu/en/FRAGRA...t-in-paris.html

They better don't discontinue it, it's one of the modern masterpieces in my eyes.

I've not purchased anything from 11street.my. It looks like a marketplace where there is more than one seller. With no rating/review it is very hard to judge. Chanel tester for RM145? It kinda gives itself away.

I wouldn't consider Versace a high-end designer. Forget about getting Chanel online as it's more expensive than bricks and mortar stores with the exception of getting from my.bestbuy-world.com (but limited choice). I've made numerous purchases from fragrancex.com and strawberrynet. AFAIK, fragrancenet doesn't ship to Malaysia (unless you use a forwarder). Other online store you can try is essenza-nobile.de and firstinfragrance.com but shipping is quite expensive but not as expensive as luckyscent.com. essenza-nobile.de has birthday discount code you can use. Just enter your birth date during registration. min.com if you have friends or families living in Singapore that can help you bring it back to you. You can also try amazon or ebay but check seller's rating first (shipping can be reasonable).

Yes I have. They have birthday points too. 2000 = RM20. I've used all the online stores I mentioned in my previous post. All my perfume purchases have been genuine so far as I am very particular on this. Additional ones I've used before are perfumestore.my and some LYN sellers here. The owner of perfumestore contacted me before to offer me a business deal but I told him I'm not a seller. Any sellers reading this, you may try to work out a deal with him.

Strawberrynet now has 10% off for all fragrances but the MYR is too weak against the USD (or other currencies for that matter) making it a lot more expensive than it used to be even with the discount.

Read their return policy first. I'd be surprised if they sell fakes. They once shipped the wrong item to me. I ordered a Dior Homme Intense tester but came Dior Homme tester instead (which I already had two bottles of). They refunded my money including postage.

It's been a long time without you my friend. Your haul always surprises us all.

Congratulation!

Ninfeo Mio, Eau du Sud and Nuit Etoilee. Just perfect for time like this. I prefer their female version of bottle design though the juice is the same as the square male version bottle.

Guerlain Vetiver is one of the reference vetiver scents out there. Exquisite taste there my friend. Tried it a few years ago but didn't like it (together with Grey Vetiver). Although vetiver is not my favorite note, I do enjoy wearing Sycomore/Encre Noir, Vetiver 46 and Eau Sauvage Parfum. Onda, TdH and Vetiver Dance are just okay to my nose.

Is that your shop? Looks really nice!

Been to JB a few times for work but only stayed in Pasir Gudang. Tried their famous duck rice. Not bad. Famous among S'poreans I heard.

Wow. Nice hauls!

Amouage is well-known for its quality frankincense but there isn't much frankincense in Epic Man. Try Jubilation instead. For best frankincense/incense guide, check out :-

Note that frankincense and incense are used interchangeably in that guide. Incense Extreme by Tauer is my favorite frankincense while Sahara Noir by Tom Ford is my new favorite of Church incense followed by Incense Avignon by CdG.

You can tell by the number of Dior bottles I have

I'm also very fond of Cuir Cannage from the private line.

Sounds like a simple good idea but it may not be that easy to make it fair to everyone. I would personally prefer to do sample swap instead.

For difficulty time like this we can still enjoy different fragrances by getting samples instead of full bottle. As a fraghead, I believe you have enough full bottles that can last you a lifetime of usage. Unless you're only going for the bottles.

There are promotion going on at STC and decantshop, offering 20% and 25% off store-wide respectively.

I agree with you. In order to make it work, we must trust each other. I don't mind joining if you and/or Angie are in the group though

I also don't mind trying female fragrances.

Speaking of which, I see the rise of the dark side
