Guys, what’s your opinion on Zegna Essenze Line. Heard that they are discontinuing this line in 2019, is it true?
I just bought a bottle of the neroli. It’s very lovely! |

QUOTE(Siege @ May 11 2019, 10:15 PM) Pavilion Parkson. A good discount going on. Javanese patchouli is not available though. Only neroli, bergamot, oud and cardamom.According to the SA, the Javanese patchouli and Sicilian mandarin was discontinued to make way for Madras Cardamom. QUOTE(province86 @ May 11 2019, 10:58 PM) They discontinued EDT version if im not wrong. New EdPs come with 100ml bottle now. Quite nice line. Simple but classy. They are quite good. Very underrated in my opinion.This post has been edited by Holyboy27: May 12 2019, 10:41 AM |

QUOTE(cocooh @ Jun 30 2019, 12:06 PM) Gym Scent: Neroli Portofino How do you wear perfumery in the gym? Wouldn’t you sweat it all away?That deep leather scent which compliments neroli flowers supplements nicely. Lasts quite a while on my skin (around 3 hours). Although the scent is fleeting, but it is more suitable for summer or hot weather. Would'nt wanna drown ourselves in heavy hitters under the hot sun On another note, scored JV Artisan Pure, 100ml for RM129 @ Aeon station 18. There was some clearance along with other brands like Issey Miyaki and Paco Rabanne. |

QUOTE(seriuslee @ Jun 30 2019, 05:24 PM) RM129??? NICE LA! how does JV Artisan Pure perform on your skin? Is it a worthy citrus scent? Was a no brainer. Haven’t had the chance to try it properly. I’ll report back after wearing it properly.Last year I heard there was a hype over Artisan Pure and the price hike like crazy. |

I’ve finally tried out Artisan Pure long enough, so here’s a short commentary for anyone looking at purchasing this.
It’s majorly clementines and a hint of citrus, maybe some bergamot. I don’t detect the thyme and marjoram but they may have blended well with the other notes. In 5 minutes of spraying, the heart notes sort of give the scent a slight feeling of warmth and I can detect hints of bitterness all the way through. The ginger note is the scent of very young ginger. As the top notes fade, the heart notes linger throughout the entire life of the scent and I did not detect any sort of strong woodiness from the base. Maybe some powderyness from the musk but that’s all. The perfume becomes skin scent within an hour or less, even on clothing (5 sprays). But the skin scent lasts for about 8 hours and about 12 on clothing and you have to put your nose directly on the skin to sniff it out. It’s very delicate and very intimate. There’s no projection and the sillage is very slight at best with this. At discounters, why not. At retail, not so compelling. QUOTE(Aki23 @ Jul 15 2019, 03:49 PM) The Ideal range? I came across Ideal Intense and Sport at Isetan KLCC. For the Aqua Allegoria range, Sephora has a wide range of testers. Not too sure if I came across Guerlain for men in Sephora though. |

QUOTE(gl0be.iv @ Jul 31 2019, 11:59 AM) Haven't had the chance to revisit BDC parfum yet. As at the time I was wearing I wasn't really testing it. I just grab and sprayed. I'll get back to you once I have the chance to test it properly. I'm currently at Kemaman for work since a week ago. Only brought JV Artisan Pure and PR 1Million Prive with me How’s the JV for you? I also took it with me outstation this week. Love the smell. What did you get? I bought Premier Figuier, L’artisan Parfumer. |

QUOTE(gl0be.iv @ Aug 8 2019, 01:50 PM) 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 I was contemplating between the Lalique Extreme and Guerlain Vetiver Extreme! Do you have those for comparison? Are they similar to Terre d'Hermes Intense Vetiver?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 |

QUOTE(t0n3 @ Aug 11 2019, 11:22 AM) Couldn't resist it and pulled the trigger yesterday. Parkson is having 3-day special voucher promo. For a 100ml AHEB, the max sized bottle available, of RM433 I got RM70 cash vouchers and it's my scent of the day to library with my son this morning. Although it's weak and it was the reason I sold my previous EdT version, this and Amouage Opus 6, are the two I regret for selling. Seems like good value! What did you spend the vouchers on? I got a similar promotion last year, so I ended up using the vouchers on another random perfume, which I didn’t quite like (Majeure Issey Miyake). How many office scents do you have?Current EdP lacks pink pepper and tonka bean, which were prominent in previous EdT but the intoxicating zesty lemon is still the main note there. I may have overspent on fragrance purchases these couple of months but my purchase list is now complete and enough for office scent rotation. ![]() ![]() |
