So much hype for this. Looking forward to try it.

wanna + 1 more light fragrance in my wardrobe for the heat. wanna buy from fragrancex.

this is my wanted list all the cheapie hope u all dunt mind the number is not represent the most like or wat just easy for reference

1). Versace dreamer (my first bottle perfume like it and love it)
2). Leau d issey issey miyake(the infamous summer frag)
3). Versace Pour homme (somesay brothers to chanel AHS)
4.) 4711 mauer and writz (wanna testing cheapi)
5) 360 red pery ellis (aqua di gio cheapi love aqua di gio)
6)hanae mori edp or edt (dunno how the smell pls help wheter edp or edt bttr in terms of smell)

Nice Selection Bro Hida.

I'll go for Versace pour Homme & Issey Miyake Pour Homme.

Regarding Perry Ellis Red 360 did share the same vibes with ADG,But with bro well-train nose,bro can easily tell it can't be compared with adg.
Due to poor longevity and projection,Just behind ADG shadow.
Meanwhile, 4711 Mauer & Writz (original) & Lemon & Ginger did impress me a lots with their cologne splash. I'm in love with it and seriously with the price tag,and the scent you get are really more than the price.

Nv tried Hanae Mori before and Dreamer are on tobacco and lavender flower combination. Nice blend.   

Thx for reply.. Yeah im going for 4711 original hahaha

Get the 1litre version lol

6)hanae mori edp or edt (dunno how the smell pls help wheter edp or edt bttr in terms of smell)

Get the 1litre version lol

I had the EdT last time. If not because I already have AHEB, I wouldn't sell it. With that said, one cannot compare this to AHEB, which smells just like fresh lemon and Madagascar vanilla pods. HM is a candied lemon + vanillin + blackcurrent + some floral, which actually smells really good too and because of the floral, it can be a little feminine. Performance was quite good on my skin. Better than AHEB. I have not tried the EdP but many say it has the same compositions, only denser. I still wear it sometimes from a decant I decanted before selling it.

Whilst waiting for the solar eclipse to take place, and Friday to end (yay!), here is, IMHO, a good read on some perfumes reviewed by Mr Porter:
http://www.mrporter.com/journal/maintenanc...INTLMAINTENANCE

Great weekend fragrance fans!
What's you scent for outing on saturday.

For me,I'm Trying out new scent and this juice are really potent.
With 3shot,I'm in divine..

Initial spray i got smooth fine dark Belgium chocolate(unsweetened type)  opening follow closely with cacao powerderish at back of the scent trail.
Vanilla doin a fine touch-up of smoothness and creamy on opening notes.

Here i barely notice any rose scent as mention on fragrantica ,while rum boozyness definitely there with a nicely and small amount of spice and pepper to uplift the strong opening dark choco... A nice take on gourmand scent..
When every mixture of concoction are finely done,this is the result..
To me,It remind me of Bond No 9 So New York cacao scent without the plum notes...

And i'm a happy guy enjoying nice scent today

Saw this ad in the Star newspaper today... Don't know if it's legit? Apparently sale of up to 80% from 30th March - 5th April...

Anyone know of this seller? They claim their products are 100% authentic... thefirstfragrance

Apart from the fishy price itself, the site contains no formal information an established site should have, like term and condition etc. This is quite unlikely for any serious company whose import the goods in bulk that can effectively give such "too good offer".

Ah well, how I wish I really could get a AHS, Bleu, or DHI at RM129.

FML on not picking up leather blend at klcc the other day, now missed out on it, all ran out at midvalley and curve.

guys for work in office purpose and longetivity, which is better between this two from the Yves Saint Laurent house?

- La Nuit De L'homme YSL

or 

- L'homme YSL

For office my vote would be l'homme as it is softer, but I don't see why la nuit can't work in an office setting as well... personally I'd reach for la nuit outside of a work setting, for a casual night out usually and l'homme in the day... in terms of longevity both are equal on my skin

What's a good fragrance for an under 25 year old male during the night?

Day time mostly been on Lalique white. Can't really tell what's my preference.

Good day, fellas.

I just finished my bottle of Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Toniq (Loved it). So, in search of a new fragrance (trying out new stuff), I just started doing research on fragrances and found out about Pure Perfume/Parfum, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne.

Apologies if this sounds stupid, but I read somewhere that brands come out with lines of fragrances for each type? Does that mean the Aqva Pour Homme line comes with Parfum? Need clarification on this. If not, is it rare to find pure perfumes nowadays? All I see mostly are EDPs and EDTs being sold.

Other than learning from all sifu here, I found below link at Perfume Shrine blog also helpful to understand on perfume type. Hope will help you also.

Hi to all sifus here, i am new to perfume world. Have ck one, ck one summer, versace man, versace pour homme, hugo boss bottled, bvlgari marine. Davidof the game, mandarina duck pure black.
currently eyeing on encre noire and hanae mori. Any recomendation where can i get to try sample 1st in malaysia?
thanks!

To my knowledge acquiring samples in Malaysia is pretty limited... Personally what I've done to test out a wide range of fragrances is to get decants (anywhere between 1 ml to over 10 ml) from members on this forum who are avid collectors... Many of them are willing to share their vast wardrobe for minimal cost... Quite a privilege to get to sample so many different high quality (especially niche) fragrances that I would never get to own cause I can't afford them...

Hi guys...

Anyone interested to split Dior's Leather Oud? Priced at RM3 p/ml. 250ml available. PM me please. Im deciding to get a big bottle but 450ml is too much for me.

Thanks for looking!

Do you happen to have/plan to get Cuir Cannage? Too bad I already have Leather Oud.

Gucci Guilty? YSL L'homme Nuit?
Guerlain's L'homme ideal isnt too bad either

I would say just wear whatever makes you feel great. With that said, I would love anything gifted by my wife

I don't mind sharing but my decant bottles are running low 

True also. Will wear it tomorrow  . I love the design of the bottle. Feel like a champion. By the way, what do you all mean when you said decant?

Perfume decant is a process of transferring perfume liquid from full bottle to smaller bottle, which can come in various sizes ranging from as small as 1ml dabber to as large as 50ml or larger. Basically, it's how usually we sample different perfumes from peers or online decant stores.

I see. Thank you very much. Anyone here wear Paco Robanne?

I have literally lived on decants from these guys for the past several months...  :clap:

It's a beautifully simple concept really... Those who are avid collectors may never be able to finish their ever-expanding wardrobe in their lives, so by sharing they get to procure an even greater variety of fragrances to add to their wardrobe... And as for us who aren't as avid in our collecting or simply can't afford it or for whatever reason, we get to experience a great variety of fragrances in small amounts... It's a win-win situation for everyone... More perfume for everybody!

Really glad that decants are readily available here in the Malaysian fragrance community... Otherwise have to order from overseas...  :cry:

Found some interesting read,enjoy fragrance fans!

http://50.87.144.26/~jtd/oped-wtf-is-niche-anyway/

Does anyone know where to find Bvlgari pH, Davidoff Cool Water, or Ralph Lauren Romance Silver?

Basically any fragrance described as 'fresh' with Rosewood and flowers.

Preferably in Ipoh please.

tried parkson and aeon?

Planning on searching this Jumaat.
The Aeon in Ipoh is kinda less men-friendly fragrance wise. Will try both of them tho

I wanna know, I bought a Bvlgari Aqva Tonic from one of our community vendors. Sold to me around RM170+. When I was surveying around a mall and entered the perfume shop, the bottle costs around RM380+, almost 400+! Any reason for this?

Be careful when buying from LY vendors. Only trust those reputable ones. If the price is too good to be true it probably is fake. Perfumes in physical stores generally has higher marked up margin due to middlemen and operating cost IMO. Check out the price of your perfume from several online stores and you will what the standard price is. For example, you could check the price from :-
- http://my.bestbuy-world.com/index.php?main...products_id=221

Based on the link you posted, I assume that I bought a tester bottle? Any difference?

Hmm.. Isn't that a good thing? How come it's waaaay cheaper?

I'm just too oblivious to know which is Ori and which is fake. Yes, buying online is cheap, but how cheap is cheap? Is around RM180+ considered cheap and original? e.g. http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/khaiful.htm

Yes, a reputable seller but need a second opinion.

I've just visited the link you posted. Wow, Aventus Creed for men 120ml for only RM129 and the word "rejected". I don't have confidence buying from there. Well, that's just my opinion.

Me, too, in terms of confidence. But his "rejected" term means rejected box only? Can that be true too? Wouldn't think such a seller with reputation can do that, no?
