Imaginary authors is having a 50% off on their individual sample ($6->$3) . here's the link https://www.imaginaryauthors.com/
Anyone interested in ordering together to save on shipping ? And any idea on how to avoid custom or pharmacy when buying sample overseas ? Got busted recently for buying samples from EU =(

Bought MFK sample , was supposed to be sent via colissimo , but somehow they messed up the delivery , ended up sending another package with DHL . I received a call from the pharmacy department or whatever it's called once the parcel arrived at subang airport . Was told that i'm not allowed to buy perfume overseas and my next purchase will be confiscated if i continue to do so.

P.s : parcel was declared as perfume at 5 euros

Thats the problem right there. some sellers have no experience in shipping to SEA countries and they declare it incorrectly. More experienced sellers like strawberrynet will delcare them as glass soveniours and double wrap them so that it will go thru customs.

Thats why i am hesitant to buy from fragx. at least with mysale it actually reaches, just that your order can take up to 1.5 months to arrive after ordering so patience is necessary.

So strawberrynet and mysale are good alternative to make overseas frag purchase ? any other sites ? thx

You can get the MFK sample easily in Malaysia. There is a counter at Isetan KLCC and kiosk at the Pavilion.

Too bad i don't go to KL that often , almost never LOL .

MFK Pavilion promo, any purchased beyond 2.5k, FOC Aqua Universalis Forte worth RM8XX. Bought BR540 extrait+Oud satin mood extrait. Worth it, pay slightly above 2.5k and get 3 frags.
*
Hey do you mind doing decant for aqua universalis and BR540?

Hey bro, terribly sorry. I don’t plan to do any decant yet as of now. In fact, i don’t even unwrap the box yet. So sorry, but i highly recommend you to order samples from MFK online store, then only decide if you want to purchase full bottle. It cost €14 for 4 samples inc shipping to Malaysia.

it's cool bro. Dang they are gorgeous. I tried getting the sample from MFK before but ended up getting my name blacklisted by the custom. Anyone has any experience with MFK sample purchase that ended up fine ? Wanna reorder but a bit skeptical =(

Indeed fast bro!
Got myself 4 vials - BR540 extrait, Oud satin mood extrait, Oud extrait and Petit Matin. Tested thoroughly until I fall in love with BR540 and Oud satin mood, which ended up i purchased full bottle of both frags.
*
Do you by any chance lives around KL area? the only reason i can think of is probably due to differences in airport. I myself am from kedah so that parcel reaches malaysia in Penang instead of KL airport. Anyway i just ordered another sample set from MFK. Fingers crossed=)

Got
1. Lumiere noire homme (got the femme version last time, absolutely gorgeous)
2. Oud EDP
3. BR540 extrait
4. Aqua universalis forte

The shipping was extremely fast. Within 2 days it reached Subang airport, and took 1 day and half for clearance. Only tried BR540 Extrait so far.

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait - Pleasantly sweet with moderate projection within 2-3 hours on my skin and stay close on the skin the next few hours. i Honestly believe this fragrance definitely will leave nice scent trail within the first few hours. Longevity, Can still smell it on my skin after 8 hours +. Unique and addictive smell. Retail at RM1391 for 70ml , you guys really need to try and sample it before go for full bottle.

It smells like a sweeter version of masculin pluriel to my nose for some reasons. It reminds me of an airplane cabin smell. Do not get the hype on this thing =(

My latest haul of perfume. All 30 ml so I do not need to buy decant bottles.....
Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt
Jo Malone Lime Basil And Mandarin
Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia ✅ the only one I have tried so far, fruity smell and loving it....

love wood sage & sea salt. Lime basil & mandarin to my nose just smells like kaffir lime leaf lol. English pear & freesia while nice it's too soft to have any wow factor to me. Have you tried out the wild weed & flower line?

Wood sage & sea salt is really good but the smell does not last as long as English pear  and lime basil....seen wild weed and flower line but will go to test them out....I am actually targeting Jo Malone Darjeeling Tea next......
*
The limited edition series is already sold out in their Penang Gurney boutique, had the opportunity to try out cade & cedarwood and it's soooo good. Couldnt resist the temptation to pick up a bottle. It's exp tho =(
In fact it's my SOTD layered with wood sage & sea salt

Hi everyone, I have a friend who's in london currently for study and she is willing to help me bring me a bottle of perfume back. I'm currently looking at maison christian dior line(currently looking at ambre nuit but open for suggestion) Is there anyone who's interested in a split from a 250ml bottle? thanks

How much bro?

Depends on which one of the line we decided to go with. Price should be below 350 for 50ml inclusive of decant bottle & shipping (can't know for sure until we decided on which one to go with). My friend will only be back in late october so i'm just asking to see if anyone's willing to split it with me

Aite. keep us updated on your choice. I maciam interested hehe.

I only tried oud ispahan and bois d'argent before. Both are nice. Interested to try feve delicious as mcd don't bring that one in Malaysia.
*
ok I will keep you posted. We need 4 persons of interest(5 including me) for the split. What about ambre nuit? heard a lot of good thing about it. Whatchu think about bois dargent? i havent tried oud ispahan but i have tried diptyque oud palao (nice but not very wearable imo in our weather)

is it rly that cheaper than malaysia's price?
imo MCD their perfumes are too "light" sweat.gif

it's cheaper than malaysia (talking about retail of course, not so sure about online or grey market). The price for the split needs to include the shipping fee locally, decant bottle & packaging too (not much but still add up a bit). But the price isnt fixed yet since i'm just asking around now to see if anyone is interested
I have only tried vetiver & cachemere. The former despite having a good review behind it i found it to be too earthy. The latter tho is delish but not full bottle worthy tho

Sad very difficult to get 2014 batch now.. have to accept the fact that have to adapt (compromise) with new formulation
But still online price is much more budget friendly, if retail this 200ml gonna cost a bomb (atleast for me).

If you are looking to do a split with it, hit me up =)

Sorry bro, not planing to do that.
Either I sell the whole bottle and find another bottle of 2014 (or earlier) batch or I keep this and finish it.. thanks for asking anyway smile.gif
*
No prob. Never try the old formula before but the new one is still divine smell wise. Longevity though leaves a lot to desire. My previous decant leaked everywhere =(
