Hi there, I'm new to this whole fragrance thing and even lowyat actually. I'm from Penang, and have also received a white warning letter with my MFK samples just a few days ago. Saw someone asking earlier whether fragrancex still delivers during mco - they do, mine has arrived at the sorting facility in shah alam according to Janio. Will I eventually receive my bottles though... that's the million dollar question.

Yea you will eventually receive it.
Its been about a month, but just received mine this week.

You received a warning letter? How much was the package?

Update: Just received my fragrancex package yesterday. Waited only 10 days which surprised me. Contents cost RM300+, no tax, no warning.

The warning letter I received was for MFK samples which cost around RM 67 but CFI came to RM400+.

I'm guessing it's partly because fragrancex declares perfumes as lifestyle products whereas MFK just straight up put a "PERFUME, DANGEROUS ITEM" on the package.

I bought from FragraceX twice back in December 2018

First was RM 300 - kena tax

Second was RM 420 - kena tax

They use Fedex so sure kena tax.

Took about a week to arrive after payment.

Edit: Just to add on...the frags i bought from FragranceX were all Laliques...the whole Encre Noire range in 100ml bottles for RM420. Stock was quite new...comparable to buying from dept store. However the sprayer on Enre Noire Sport is a bit faulty...i don't get a fine mist like the other 2.

Second RM 300 purchase was for Lalique hommage a l'homme and hommage a l'homme voyageur. Not sure if they were discountinued or limited production but the condition of the box was not great and the stock was at least 6 yrs old. But both smelled alright so no complaints.

If you do get from FragranceX...remember to manage your expectations. For their prices, u gotta be ready for old stock and dented boxes lol. The faulty sprayer I not gonna blame on FX...i have bought bottles from dept store that had faulty sprayers.

VPH i feel pretty evergreen type of scent...clean and sporty...appeals to most ppl. So I won't put it as a young smell. For our hot weather its perfect.

The color depends on lighting and age. Starts off light blue then turns green after a few yrs. I have one 30ml bottle from 2008 lol

A very similar frag is Chanel Allure Homme Sport. IMHO smells better than VPH. Allure Homme's big brother is Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme.
*
Thx for the reply bro!
To me VPH is very light and easy. Like a deodorant, can be good but may feel cheap to some. Chanel allure homme sport has significantly more depth. I have been comparing between VPH and eau extreme.

And judging by the price, I will most probably go for VPH from fragranceX. Chanel's price is sooo much higher. Let me know if you have other sites to recommend bro!

I find Eau Extreme very hard to wear in Malaysian weather. Its choking rather than refreshing to me. But the performance is good...ppl can smell me a mile away LOL.

VPH type smell has been overplayed. i think every frag house has that VPH type aquatic frag.

An alternative is Acqua Di Gio Profumo. This one I like and its fresh smelling but with a twist to make it stand out.

U could also go down the flowery powdery but fresh route with Prada L'Homme.

FragranceX is the only place I buy online. I stopped back in 2010 then started again in 2018. I still buy off and on when I smell a frag I really like.

Hi Guys,

I noticed the fragranceX enable the COD option.

Anyone tried this feature? Do we pay when we get the perfume ordered?

EDP for the richness, EDT for the freshness.

This year i got myself some Guerlain classics from fragx:
Jardins de Bagatelle
Nahema
Vol de nuit
Chants d aromes
Cologne du parfumer
Eau de fleurs du cedrat

planning to get imperiale and colonge du coq to complete the cologne collection.

I have one which I bought a couple of years ago and I don't detect any strong jasmine note in it. Which version did you try?

Jasmine is one of my favorite notes both in fragrance as a note and in tea.

No hassle. was processed quickly. Took not more than 3 days to ship out. Took less than a week to arrive in Malaysia. One time sent to my house. The other time I went to Fedex at Shah Alam to collect it...was on long end of year leave so had a lot of free time.

But do note that my last puchase fr FX was in December 2018. So my memory of the processing n shipping time was fuzzy.

If u do buy fr FX, lower the expectations...

1. Stock will not be new like buying fr Dept store counter
2. Possibility of the frag box to be damaged. I keep my frags in their ori boxes so didn't like it when the box was dented/damaged. Plastic wrap was intact tho.

Also use the discount codes wisely...either free shipping or 15% off.

FX sometimes more expensive than buying fr local dept store. Personally if FX is cheaper by RM50 or less than dept store counter...I will buy locally. I usually use FX to buy frags that I can't get locally.
