Cool Water, Aqva and Marine, they all have similar vibe. If I had to choose one, I would go for Cool Water because it's a classic. Having said that, everyone's taste is different. Just go with the one you like most.

Versace Eau Fraiche is a nice squeaky clean aquatic but some reference it to glass cleaner. Voyage is quite generic smelling if I remember correctly.

yea their bloody 25% very tempting

I gotta say you have such exquisite taste as Jovoy i found it is more like an art than everyday workhorse.

Exactly! I can't resist the temptation as they make patchouli such a fine smooth fragrance, that's blow me away when i sniffed it. As i am fan of Thierry mugler, this refine ver. of patchouli really really make me itchy. But my financial minister with me yesterday ....so....ouch!

Precisely!!! so sad.. she dont let me buy!! if not i will be hugging my Lira to bed everyday

I also tried Lira! I like it so much as well...RM700+ but after dry down i feel like it share similarity with dior homme intense

Nice haul on Versace Eau Fraiche & Nautica Voyage..
both i can say are fresh fragrance,While Versace are on bright lemon and carambola (starfruit) opening. A bright and sunshine scent to me.

As for the Davidoff Coolwater & Bvlgari Aqva & Bvlgari marine.
I would say 3 of this scent are Aquatic Marine scent,Each have their own attractiveness.
While I'll stick to Bvlgari Aqva as the longevity and projection are almost full mark given the price tag.While Marine are the lite version of Bvlgari Aqva. In-fact the scent a bit diff too.
As for Nautica is quite generic scent to me...

As for Coolwater,I did mention yesterday it is an all-time classic scent,With strong projection & longevity...I can say Coolwater easily beat any of Creed longevity. Just my nose can't tolerate the sharp opening vibes... Remind me of washing powder vibes... (Sorry,No Offence),But i admit is a old-skool cologne. Usually i sprinkle a min 1-2 on my shirt where i do workout at gym or any sport.

Is depend on how you want other to smells you,And how you appreciate the perfumer works.

cheap one - ck one

luxury one - chanel homme sport

Haha i did not get the signature drydown of DHI, the closest similarity they share is the vanilla note.

To me it has the most intense caramel note that i never imagine. incorporate so well with the blood orange, cinnamon all the gourmand notes.

But then the versatility and when and where to wear Lira, this really make me scratch my head.

If for work and any official formal occasion - Dhajala

Versatile neroli - Nio

to go well with suit and tie - Ibitira

My heart really want to just go there whack all these beauties and dun care abt my finance minister but there goes our mutual respect and she will not listen to anything i say edi going forward.

might slowly persuade her to allow me to get at least either Nio or Ibitira

ive been buying alot of perfumes lately lol, ever since i bought my very first perfume last 2 weeks, before this i never owned any, just stick to deodorant. Now I'm like discovering new scents everyday.

first i bought was hugo boss orange, recommended by a friend then i went to buy DG Pour Homme (current fav). Just receive my sample of Chanel Bleu men, pretty good smell to me. Then dior homme, smell really powdery.

Also bought creed aventus sample, doesnt smell that nice even though its heavily like by alot of people in fragnantica website.

Will go buy bvlgari aqva and aqva marine plus coolwater just to try out.

Congrats on your new haul and new addiction on this hobbies.
Perfume-head really can spend a lots in their fragrance...Be it from designer to entree-level niche and to world most expensive perfume.
But always,My advise to all forumer include myself always go slow... With the recent economies and weak ringgit vs foreign currency... Is really a turn-off.
Usually,I would stock up 1-4 Niche fragrance month.. But now i cut down to 1-2.. still counting bottle slowly..

Well,In case if you need one of those fragrance as mention - Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme,Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme marine & Davidoff Coolwater. You can let me know.
I do carry.

Cheers bro.

Finally my Christmas came early. Today really is my lucky day

If not because we need to go mid valley for grocery i never knew today is the last day of the 25% discount lol

And my finance minister heart soft and reward me with early christmas present and encourage me to work harder next year. Muaks i love her hehe

Wow. Congratulation! Lucky you. Do share your thoughts. Wait, what did you get?

I see myself in you when I was just starting out in 2013.

My SOTD is Dior Homme. This is my best designer iris.

I read the about the reviews for YSL La Nuit seems good, worth trying it ?

It's worth trying IHMO since it's well-loved and popular. I had a small travel spray but didn't like it. Doesn't suit my taste. I find it a bit similar to Chanel Allure PH.

Congrats on your latest acquisition | collection.
Luck you my bro.. Share your unbox the perfume.. Btw,What's your purchase?

does it smell sweet?

I find it a little sweet but not in a way like one million bubblegum sweet. It's available at major department store. You can just go for free testing.
