Never bought from this online store. The set up and format is almost mirror image of FragranceX la. I thought i entered into FX store, haha. Prices are few US dollars more than FX.

I just go with my mood too most of the time but would sometimes consider weather, official meetings for d day , occasions & so on. It's all easy fun decision. Not working today so having on heavier hitters as I gona b outdoor whole day. Kuching weather not as steamy hot today & now even heavy rain, so my choice of A*Men fits me well....also spray some Encre Noire on both upper forehands hehe. Yea, sounds bit odd w such combo but I do spray diferen combo almos everyday now. Not adding new frag for some time d. Just replenish existing ones I hv. I'm stil into my old trusty TM range of Amen , havane & malt , LIDGE, DHI, PAPH, Memoirs ,TF's B orchid & G Vertiver, eau sauvage edp, meharees , TDH, EDBaux, etc. They always b with me . LoL. May get new additions once $ matters back to "normal " hahaha....gona take some time.

Yea, deliciously smokey & 1 of the frags I would 1st considered on a cold rainy day.

I havnt visited VIVA. Had a chat w Dior SA at PMerdeka yesterday & was told of Parkson's weird decision to hv only very limited perfume section. Indeed a letdown. Anyway , dior is going to hv own boutique in the future & not "linked" to parkson...branding strategy. Kch market is limited i suppose so I wouldn't expect any expansion of perfume brands. It's gona be the usual suspects anywhere u go.

Merry Xmas everyone. Ho Ho Ho !!
My Xmas scent is non other than Meharees by L`Erbolario
cheers !!

I got it some time back at ebay from this seller "ilbellodelledonnebra" based in Italy. Yea, i did a search at L'Erbolario @ Gardens b4 I bought fr eBay & was told the same. Bro t0n3 is spot on abt the scent as projection on my skin is not amazing but it's adequate for me as I considered this as intimate scent. Absolute quality juice. Longevity is above average & somehow better on skin than cloth. My bottle left with 20% & i'm gona get another bottle soon. At abt RM190 at current exchange rate, it's worth all my penny even its only 50ml.

May i know where u gotten the Afnan Supremacy Silver ? I would want to check it out.

Cool stuff guys !!

I'm having L'occitane Eau des Baux for today. Loving this during cooler days or nights. Pity indeed it's missing from L'occitane outlet in Kch and not restocked at Bestbuy World online store.

Yup, its quite a gd offering but i was trying to get my hands on back-up bottle of Eau des Baux which is my fav fr L'occitane.

Cartier Declaration d'un Soir for my SOTD. Its also my "cny scent" for this year, using it for majority days of cny. Feeling ROSY jolly with this one & making ppl around happier with such pleasant + intriguing scent.

CONGRATS Mr dad !! Sure u gona enjoy the most wonderful journey.

Right on bro. Looks like at least 2 guys in a wet rainy Kuching today having same SOTD

Its 1 of the must-haves in my collection. My 3rd bottle. Love it !!

I just ordered 3 bottles from FragX about 2 weeks ago. They use DHL again which i dont like as previous DHL delivery I got a warning letter / note from Ministry of Health. Yesterday, I just got an email from DHL saying that my parcel detained by Customs Kch & the letter from Pharmacy dept of MOH to Customs to detain and refused entry my parcel. I contacted the Pharmacy dept and was told that importation of perfume is against the law, even for personal use. MOH has already in their records my previous infringement.

I was told prior notification is allowed for perfume but ONLY if brought in for sales & need to provide lots of infor to obtain the notification num which needs to be renewed every 2 years and each item imported costs RM50. Basically, it means i cannot buy from overseas online stores anymore as using the "sales notification" method is not worth the extra charges. Very disappointed as have been getting from FragX since 2010. No more cheap perfume from now on Well, if anyone still can try their luck...as long as Customs doesnt refer the parcel to the Pharmacy dept to check...i think they check on all DHL parcel. Anyway, I have written in to MOH to appeal for them to release my parcel. Now waiting for reply.

I don't know if the situation would be OK if the parcel is sent via USPS. But then again, that is provided i can specifically tell FragX to deliver it using USPS...which i dont think it can be done as their order and delivery are via system generated.

USPS is no prob. Customs would not checked / asked Pharmacy dept to check. I have asked FragX few times already & they told me that their online system automatically select the shipping mode & they cannot do any manual intervention (which i think its an ineffective system). So, buyers will get either USPS or DHL depends on their "luck". For me, its no-go anymore as Pharmacy has my record & anymore DHL delivery then my perfume will be refused entry.

It is not about the tax. It is the law (Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984) which forbids importation of cosmetics (includ perfumes) under certain situation. The law allows perfumes to be brought in as part of personal luggage solely for personal use in a quantity not exceeding that which may be reasonably required or one month’s use.
For importing by post, this will require an import exemption that is granted by the Senior Director of Pharmaceutical Services, Ministry of Health Malaysia (prior notification via detailed application & payment of charges for each item of RM50).

And i would like to mention that many people who have purchased cosmetics online overseas have encountered such experiences with our Customs / Pharmacy dept. The frustrations are immense especially for harmless stuff like perfume or ladies cosmetics for personal use. Even to the extent of simple eye creams or brushes are detained & refused entry merely because they were no prior notifications.

The MOF Pharmacy dept just informed me that my parcel is released with last warning & any future detention and appeal will not be entertained. Glad that they release it but sad cos its goodbye to overseas online purchases for perfumes.

Haha...they have become one. Darn.

The clearance sale should be a good one. Too bad i just back from KL last week.

The issue i'm concern is that if custom were to direct pharmacy to check on other courier parcel then I sure smoked.

Now its kinda hot in Kuching. I have Prada Amber today.
