Wow that long. Did you bought yours in that exact year or from evil bay? I am yet to make a purchase on evil bay. Currently itching to pull trigger on Arabian Oud offering  tongue.gif  Is your Fahrenheit still good? After that long, any top notes missing?

Back in the days when people actually cared to make perfume that have very good quality. Nowadays it's all reformulation with weak performance all in the name of profit. Or is it because of the new regulations limiting the use of certain raw materials?

Yes the current formulation is good albeit not performing for 12 hours but can easily reach the 8 hours mark which is still good. But 12 hours, that's unheard of in today designer's offering.

My last month haul from FragX for the total of USD83.19 (MYR350.76) including shipping. Luckily no custom notice or anything.
Item arrived in a nice sealed cardboard box with styrofoams inside iirc.

All three are excellent cheapies. The sport is a fresher take on the original and definitely the easier one to pull for everyday wear. The extreme is very masculine and sophisticated. Like a well put together gentleman. The original is dark and earthy and rooty. Though it is complex, I don't get why reviewer said this is hard to pull. Too artsy too dark. Unlike Amouage Myths & Fate Man, those two are very hard to pull  tongue.gif

Congrats on your haul!

Most probably is. Because Chanel's best seller BdC is still available. CAHSEE 50ml is also still available  hmm.gif
How's absolute different than the original? It has oud notes added to the composition right?
*
I guess I missed the boat then.

Last check only left with BDC EDT 100 ml, AHSEE EDT 50 ml and AHS EDT 50 ml.

Is the BDC worth to blind buy?

Thanks bro!
If you don't mind you still can get the 50ml. With your collection, that's more than enough I think hehe.
Bro t0n3 have reviewed the BdC EDT previously and said the performance was severely lacking and is watered down of it's former self. He returned it back and got the EDP instead.

But in terms of blind buy worthiness, BdC is what kick started the blue trend. Fresh citrusy woody genre which is mass appealing, inoffensive and versatile. Definitely a safe blind buy.

Thanks bro for the insights.

Yeah I guess a 50ml should be suffice for the time being. This will be my first full bottle Chanel if I eventually procured it.

How did you do that? So far I have only managed to finish 1 bottle of 100 ml, that was also like I was spraying it on daily basis.

I doused myself in it biggrin.gif

First bottle was 50ml and sold to joey-kun when there was still some left. 2nd bottle was a 100ml one I wore it like almost 3 times a week. All these in the span of 5 years.

Oh yeah and some contributed to decant sales.
*
Ah....so that was how you finished your bottles.....

I like buying but when think of those unfinished bottles at home, I think twice. Unless those that I die-die must procure.

But I know I will however rationalise my next purchase.....

I advised strongly against the 2nd unless you have a death wish. 1st one usually works.

All Ken’s store but the availability of perfumes will vary. Klcc has iris rebelle, silver iris, vanilla incense, Amber neu and Poivre Electrique (100ml only for this).
200ml bottles priced around RM935, 100ml going for RM600+ if not mistaken. Just that buy 1 get another of the same size.

Thanks again for the info. Very much appreciated.

MFK only available in Ken’s KLCC and BSC, but the range there is not as extensive as the pop up MFK outlet in Pavilion.

Never thought MFK is as popular as others.

I still have 2 bottles to procure to complete my collection - Oud and Satin Mood.

Only during that particular time slot. I hardly watch tv as well, it just happened that I switched it on and saw it.

Today went for a beauty event sales in SG, my first time ever went to this kind of event..and, the queue is super crazy
Not sure how is this compare to MY, i always didn't get the chance to go for My beauty sales..
My main aim is for something that is difficult to get in MY  tongue.gif

My haul for today.. biggrin.gif
Honestly, even tho considered the SG and MY FX exchange rate, it was still considered cheap, for me that's a good deal  biggrin.gif
regret on my way back from the sales, should buy more instead...

Notice some old stock for Dior and  PR, not sure the manufacture date tho..
overall, worth ti queue for 2 hours just for this, only regret is not buy more  biggrin.gif 

Some picture from the sales, there were just few island having fragrance only, and due to i went on last day, mostly sold out/ out of stock.

Congrats on your new haul and thanks for sharing with us. At least we now know what will be served on plate if any of us wish to take a trip down to SG to join the party. I must say the selection and the price are really really irresistible.

There are a few from Byredo that I would love to loot, which includes Bal D'afrique, Sunday Cologne and Rose of No Man's Land.

Received the order yesterday after 3 weeks of waiting. Just to share my experience with Fragrancex: gotta be patient as the tracking is only updated when the order arrives Singapore warehouse, and the Fx customer service doesn't bother to reply the mail until the order arrives Singapore.

FragranceX is good in my book. They have actually expedited the shipping normally within 3 weeks to a month the item will arrive with no tax imposed.

hmm, don't think so, unless u come join my company lo  tongue.gif

but 120ml creed getting more and more difficult to find, even from the LuxAsia portal where I brought from, 120ml Creed is all tester, I do not see they have full presentation, i.e. non tester 120ml one le.
*
Ah I see, for employees only. No worry, totally understandable.

I have been searching high and low to complete my 120ml quest. This is my small collection:

Nice Creed collection there  biggrin.gif
if you would like to purchase full presentation 120ml, I don't think they have, 120ml all is tester.
But I think u collected mostly 120ml bottle already, just Creed Erolfa, is 100ml?
*
Thank bro.

I still have a few 120ml to hunt down - MI, Royal Oud, Bois du Portugal, VIW, GIT and Erolfa. The Erolfa and GIT in the picture are in 75ml (discontnued) and 100ml respectively.
