Vintage with brown bottle? mine is the transparent bottle with a brown sticker at the back

brown bottle vintage is gone now.

Yes the one with only 4 ingredients listed. Never had the chance to try that out. There are still some being sold on ebay tho, albeit with ridiculous prices.

Been seeing many noting its similarities with the Oud Absolu version, but Oud Absolu seems to be rather incense-y to my nose.

even the one i have smells not as strong as the original as the musk base is what remains and the cherry cola top/midnote is toned down by a lot. Havent smelled oud absolu yet, but one thing i learnt about collecting fragrances is to not run after vintage scents because they can be costly and there is also a lot of dissapointment involves.

You will end up wasting a lot more time regretting and hunting down for the perfect vintage scent. As a Guerlain enthusiast, so many people on the net often rave on how nice their vintage Guerlains parfums smell like, and as you know, its way out of reach from malaysians like us so i learnt to enjoy what is within reach.

Yes that's very true. I do agree on the way out of reach for malaysians part tongue.gif especially vintages and niches and some other perfume houses, alot of them do not have their presence in the market here.

Btw I reckon you should try the Oud Absolu if you adore M7. Some even claimed that it is superior to the original formulation. And best of all, it is not expensive at all rclxms.gif anyway, I myself kinda curious on the medicinal cherry and ambery notes of the vintage M7, hence is looking to at least have a whiff of it even if I cannot get a bottle tongue.gif

Guys, how do you guys usually import fragrances that are more than RM500? I've read that some members here have had their perfumes detained by kastam and subsequently being sent a warning letter from the pharmacy department. Higher end niche houses mostly have their perfumes priced more than RM500, just wondering how you guys are handling this issue. Care to share?

Not sure if this is appropriate here but I just wanna check with any of you who has dealt with marver before. Based on his past activities here I believe he has a reputation of being a trusted seller. However I am having some problems with my transactions with him recently. I don't want to jump to any conclusions but things have not been resolved for quite a long time. I'm still giving him the benefit of doubt seeing that many have had successful dealings with him before. Does anyone know if anything happened to him?

*Mods please delete this post if found inappropriate.

What's the issue? I've known him for quite some time and everything seems to be good.

But I've not heard from him lately as well.

Perhaps if you don't mind sharing, I might be able to reach out and see if there's anything I could help hmm.gif
*
Long story short, I bought from him a bottle quite long ago, but have yet to receive the item. In between there were inquiries of delivery status and he would always update me, but till recently he's not replying my multiple request for updates.

Are you able to reach out to him? I'm sure he's still around, but not sure of the reason for not replying me.

lowyat and instagram account inactive, website gone since 10th sep...
but fb is still active.

Yes I'm aware of his inactivity in lowyat recently, as well as his activity on fb (there're 2 of them, only 1 remains active). I contacted him via whatsapp all this while, but latest effort to reach out to him did not get through. Any advice on how I should proceed here?

Anyone heard of this house from Malaysia before? Apparently they are having a sales now but judging by the feel of the site and the description, I'm rather unconvinced and couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. What do you guys think?

It looks like an indie house. Have you sampled any one of their fragrances?

Nope i have not. Was looking for a discovery set or samples from their site but couldn't find any.

Anyone willing to try and report back? tongue.gif

In case any of you guys are in Miri, Parkson Bintang Megamall is having a promotion going on now, Zegna Essenze EDP line is having RM200 off for a 100ml bottle, and discount even more if you take more. If you take all 5 from the line, it's RM1400 off and final cost is RM3075.

Incidentally, has anyone tried them? Any comments?

Thanks for sharing guys. RM49X is definitely a great value. I've only briefly sampled the EDT line, recall i quite like all the EDT back then, but didn't have the same feeling when i recently sampled the EDP version of Italian Bergamot.

I'm looking to hunt down the whole line of EDT, but has reservations on the EDP version. Can anyone share their experience of comparing both the EDT and EDP? Is the EDP superior to the EDT in terms or smell?

Guys, I noticed that I am not able to complete the checkout process when ordering from Strawberrynet, reason being:

"We cannot ship this product to your selected country at this time due to changes in aviation policy. To continue, please remove it from your order, or choose a different destination."

as stated by them. Is this a recent thing? Or has it been that way for quite a while now?

https://www.lazada.com.my/shop/fragrankita/

Has anyone bought from this store before? Fragrankita from Lazada. Seems legit, but the pricing part (identical value for alot of the items) sort of gave me second thoughts. Anyone can verify if they sell authentic goods?

You're most welcome! What are you planning to get?

Was looking at their Pure Havane, slightly lower price compared to other places. Alas, it was suddenly jacked up by RM50.00 the moment I was about to buy it. Seems like price of Pure Havane is spiking recently.

QUOTE(Holyboy27 @ Sep 2 2019, 02:20 AM)
Which product are you referring to? I enquired about adp with their shop via Facebook, the prices they quoted me was just barely cheaper than buying from Robinson’s.
*
All their items. Was referring to the identical value of alot of their items. For example, RM189 for almost half of the inventory, another half is maybe RM239 (Not referring to their exact pricing, just an example of signs of fake goods). But since there are members who have confirmed their authenticity, I guess it's no longer a concern for me. But still, I agree with you that their price aren't the lowest around.
