Nice Zegna you have... I do have a bottle of Sicilian mandarin. While for best vetiver. Personally highly go for Creed Original Vetiver & Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. Where vetiver perfectly executed

Perhaps you going to try it out again. On both ur skin and on the paper strips,As it gives a diff appraoch.Hope the scent works well on you.
Other than the 2 vetiver scent i mention. I do frequently abuse on my D&G Light Blue Discover Vulcano,is a nice vetiver with the blast of Amalfi Lemon & Ginger.
A compliment gather as the scent projects very well.

I think you can skip the  L'instant De Guerlain if you are looking at (EDT) version and not the Extreme (EDP) version. Even thou both are no longer the elixir scent as before.
As they reformulate the scent. If can get the Vintage bottle,Don't hesitate to grab one if the price tag fits you. As is extremely hard to get nowadays.
Good luck in your hunt. There's some buddies here still own a bottle of vintage version ( LIDGE ).

You can try get a small decant to sample it out

Guerlain Vetiver is one of the reference vetiver scents out there. Exquisite taste there my friend. Tried it a few years ago but didn't like it (together with Grey Vetiver). Although vetiver is not my favorite note, I do enjoy wearing Sycomore/Encre Noir, Vetiver 46 and Eau Sauvage Parfum. Onda, TdH and Vetiver Dance are just okay to my nose.

SOTD: Midnight in Paris (EdP)

If you ask me, I don't care about my wife preference. I just wear whatever I love 
As what been discussed with Marver earlier, the reformulation LIDGE come with the clearer bottle now.
The vintage is one with the darker bottle.
I've the bottle. If u want to sampling, I can decant for you 
As for the Aventus, the RM7xx is for 75ml or 120ml?
If for 120ml, it's a very good deal bro.
Why suddenly not enjoy the Aventus? I believe it might relate with the batch itself (smoky batch or fruity batch)

Amouage is well-known for its quality frankincense but there isn't much frankincense in Epic Man. Try Jubilation instead. For best frankincense/incense guide, check out :-

Note that frankincense and incense are used interchangeably in that guide. Incense Extreme by Tauer is my favorite frankincense while Sahara Noir by Tom Ford is my new favorite of Church incense followed by Incense Avignon by CdG.

Hahaha.. Thanks bro for ur compliment... You have a lots nice collection too. Eg : By Kilian, TF and Amouage too.
Just diff preference on the brand and scent..
For the Rose Oud base fragrance you line-up here really impressive scent from L'occitant, I did try out at their branch.And yes,Is full-bottle worthy.
Same goes to me,I wouldn't pick this up in my collection as i have a few Rose & Oud Base such as ; Aramis Calligraphy Rose,TF Ndn,Dior Oud Ispahan and few more to list. But this the one i adore so so much..

As we all know,Is a OUD trend,And there's more and more desginer fragrance comes out in oud combi scent.
Just do some sniffing and you know which oud is your own preference...
And here i would highlight smth.. Gucci Oud is the best ever subtil and smoothest oud base fragrance, That suits both mens & ladies.

Among the line up,The most prefer scent for me will be Italian Bergamot, Indonesian Oud & Haitian Vetiver.

Solid line, italian bergamotte is modern acqua di parma colonia, florentine iris is a beautiful play on iris, imo way better than the lipstick waxy iris of dior homme, sicilian mandrin is my fav of this line.

Conclusion,Most of the forumer here are high-pay and rank.
With simple 20k per month salary.... only can get a full line-up 'Niche' fragrance     

Another 20k per month earner spotted
Nice collection there thou. Wish I could part with my money for that but alas....

wow....
i'm damn jeles ma.....
right now just playing with samples here and there...
now tighten up my bajet for my first baby next month...

Impressive hauls you've got there brother (it's been a looong time since I last said that in this forum)
Suddenly iris is hot again 

Guys don't have to shy away from floral notes. Perfume is unisex anyway.

Fuuu! That's one hell of a collection you got there mang! 

Looking forward to your thoughts and possible haul because I just can't afford them 

Fulamak... big boss!! But Xerjoff here quite cheap compare to hk. Nio going for 780 wtf... daylight robbery. And oud star 960

Me too so damn close and tempted to grab both lira and mamluk on Saturday when me and gf were doing Christmas shopping at Gardens at fragrance du bois fair. They are going to have a permanent counter inside Robinson jor...

My gf gave me a dun play with me eyes stare and threaten to throw my other bottles if i whack these 2 beautiful gourmand.

Fragrance du bois they have their own oud farm even though they can give 25% discount still way over the limit for me to spend on one single bottle somemore their oud are quite medicinal depending on ur taste.

Haha ok la that is why there is an hidden advantage for go high end niche ie you will really think twice or thrice before whacking and even whack also 2-3mths baru satu botol

So u bought the travel spray?

That one is truly an horror movie to begin with even u sniff out the sprayer, the smell haunts you for more than 1 day.

Till now i still remember it during my HK trip

Xerjoff decided to portrait the barnyard, fecal, animalistic characteristic of their oud. hence i am not a fan of their oud line

the stank, the fecal note, the barnyard animalic... so so so traumatic for me and my gf, tat whole day that note lingers in my nostril contaminate anything i smell

how i rate it?

as long as i am sane, i will not wear that on my suit, later client complaint wtf ur staff no bath for how many days edi and run away, any potential deal pun dah jadi habuk

Blind buying is like gamble. Cool Water is easily available at major department stores, which you can go for free testing.

My SOTD is Eau Sauvage by Dior.
