Beautiful collection you have bro.
A solid display and sophisticated scent.. Finish your entire collection
Among the line up,The most prefer scent for me will be Italian Bergamot, Indonesian Oud & Haitian Vetiver.

Very nice collection you gotte there. Damn rich le one bottle if not mistaken 780 right? More than my 2 months pay *shy*

Solid line, italian bergamotte is modern acqua di parma colonia, florentine iris is a beautiful play on iris, imo way better than the lipstick waxy iris of dior homme, sicilian mandrin is my fav of this line. Indon oud try to achieve the success of mixing both oud and rose but then to me it is neither here nor there. It does not have the jammy rose of rose oud and the oud of adp oud.

The rest i did not get to try. And then their new release acqua di bergamotte is a cheaper version of italian bergamot and minus the magnetic cap

Conclusion,Most of the forumer here are high-pay and rank.
With simple 20k per month salary.... only can get a full line-up 'Niche' fragrance

Another 20k per month earner spotted

Nice collection there thou. Wish I could part with my money for that but alas....

My favorite is Indonesian Oud, Haitian Vetiver, and Javanese Patchouli. The least is Mediterranean Neroli.

Florentine Iris is nice, it's a unisex fragrance which I think lean slightly more to the feminine side. The entire line has this common similar scent, which to my un-train nose I can't really pin-point it. It has some sort of airy feelings, which is nice.

You're the one who own a perfume shop

Nah, I'm counting days for my next pay check now. Luckily it's Christmas soon so it comes early this month

Wow you guys damn hardcore with your parfums and ouds. Dont think I'll ever be able to spend that amount of dosh on fragrances.

wow....
i'm damn jeles ma.....
right now just playing with samples here and there...
now tighten up my bajet for my first baby next month...

Finally the sunshine Monday allows me to wear such a beautiful garden floral scent

Iris ukiyoe from hermesessence line. It is a watery scent, it doesnt last it doesnt project monsterly. But it is rich sweet mandarin combine with the buttery texture of the iris flower.

This is the iris for those who is not fan of waxy rooty lipsticks kind of iris.

Another iris that i love is by kilian's prelude to love but lets leave that for some other time then

Impressive hauls you've got there brother (it's been a looong time since I last said that in this forum)

Suddenly iris is hot again

Guys don't have to shy away from floral notes. Perfume is unisex anyway.

SOTD - Sahara Noir by Tom Ford
Christmas in a bottle! It's Incense Avignon + Amber Absolute. Best of both worlds.

Sotd : Creed Royal Water

Creed Royal Water opens up a refreshing blast of Lemony citrusy opening, building up Juniper Berries which bring out the fresh, green notes with Gin vibes.
As the scent settles down, Mint and rich fresh Basil notes lurking out and play giving a peppery spicy green herbalicious note with fresh facets together with PepperMint notes that gives a cooling green boost on the scent.

The scent remains "zesty", but becomes something very snuggly and comfy while remaining very green and natural way.

Finally in the base notes of Royal Water, It supported by the smooth and comfortable musk and marine-type of ambergris notes in here. A lightly-to-mild type of ambergris we have samples so far. Olivier has created a timeless scent yet again. At once classic, but equally as modern in feeling.

This is indeed a great scent that safe for daily working, Casual and Formal occasion.

Hi all fraghead, anyone tested potion royal black, cartier declaration dun soir and annick goatal nuit de etoilee before? Not sure which one to go for

Haha very vast choice of taste you got there.

Royal Black is more like dark rose then pair with leather and tobacco, quite heavy

Nuit de etoilee i have zero experience before so cant really comment

however Cartier Declaration d'un soir is my fav designer masculine rose scent. Fresh rose with black pepper. rock solid performance and very sexy on man coz it is very elegant, and it is better than it's more niche counterpart - Le Labo Rose 31

Trust me when it comes to rose based scent

My Sotd - Hermessene Osmanthe Yunnan

This is my fav floral tea scent. Orange, Appricot, Osmanthe petals

Tis is the scent that gotten me into Hermessene line as it is light and airy but it lingers around me the whole day. the hotter the weather the merrier it gets, fruity floral tea is i can say.

I actually just started buying perfume this year..I have almost all the thierry mugler line fragrances, only left pure coffee and taste of fragrance not yet acquire..But i foresee hot season coming soon, so I plan to spend some money on lighter side of perfume...

I see a perfumista in the making here

SOTD - Prada Amber Pour Homme
This is the best soapy scent IMHO.

SOTD : DIOR Sauvage X Santa's Reindeer X Stormstrooper

Haha ur scent so not ngam with the christmas deco, not piney no turkey lol

Today thinking of wearing something aquatic and tada



Unlike the mass market aquatic that made up of calone, citrus, fruity, watery, this follow another route where it rejuvenate the realism of actual beach where the brine sea breeze, salty ocean waves hitting on the rocks, sweaty from being under the sun

And if you ask me what is this smell like? I will say it is like walking along the shoreline nearby a fishing village

Nice SOTD Bang..
Your comment suddenly remind me of 2 scent : Creed Virgin Island Water & Tommy Bahamas Set Sail St Bart..
Like taking a stroll at white sand beach where sea breeze hitting your face with salty notes and refreshing warm air.
And imaging taking a sip of tequila drink... *Burp*
