Hi guys, kindly suggest places where I can try out fragrances comfortably without committing to buy on the 1st visit. Don’t want to be a nuisance to the promoter or be pushed by them. Preferably at the centre of KL.

Many thanks.

Guys do you think Versace pour homme is more towards younger ppl, mayb below 30?

2) I noticed there is the light blue and another striking blue, any difference?

VPH i feel pretty evergreen type of scent...clean and sporty...appeals to most ppl. So I won't put it as a young smell. For our hot weather its perfect.

The color depends on lighting and age. Starts off light blue then turns green after a few yrs. I have one 30ml bottle from 2008 lol

A very similar frag is Chanel Allure Homme Sport. IMHO smells better than VPH. Allure Homme's big brother is Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme.

Thx for the reply bro!
To me VPH is very light and easy. Like a deodorant, can be good but may feel cheap to some. Chanel allure homme sport has significantly more depth. I have been comparing between VPH and eau extreme.

And judging by the price, I will most probably go for VPH from fragranceX. Chanel's price is sooo much higher. Let me know if you have other sites to recommend bro!

Just an update for all d guys here.
I ordered Versace pour homme from frangranceX on 21/4.
Received today so it’s around 20days.
Packaging all intact. 2019 batch.
Smell different from when I tried at the departmental store.
Probably got mixed up with different fragrances when I tried lol.
Silly me but all is good.

Guys, wanna ask..
I blind bought prada l'homme from fragranceX.
Found it kindda offensive, my frens felt the same.
In malaysian terms, it smells similar to minyak angin cap kapak for the 1st few hours lol. Dont get how this is mass appealing. Any1 got the similar vibe?
Wanted to make sure it not smth wrong wif my bottle.

lol nth like minyak cap kapak
is there a strong stinging alcohol smell right after u spray? maybe already turned bad

to my nose, its a soapy clean powdery iris with a bit of neroli/jasmine, quite unisex, according to my friends n family, smells like high end hotel soap, imo it's a good office scent, because of its clean smell, low sillage n good longevity

it's only mass appealing to angmoh countries I tink
malaysians are used to citrus fresh/woody or aquatic men scents, other than that it's too weird, busuk la, too strong la, bau Pak Arab la tongue.gif

Damn...how does it turn bad. Unlucky if get a bad bottle, but is there such a thing? Less likely to b a fake since it is from fragranceX.

Haha definitely no alcohol smell. Do you get that in urs? Well i dont really know how exactly iris n neroli smell like. As a comparison I got dior homme intense, which indeed smell lipsticky, which i enjoy.

My bottle got good longevity. Projection quite strong. A bad combination if it smells like minyak angin. 1 spray into the air enough to get my frens dizzy. Imagine that staying on my skin d whole day.

I dont know how expensive soap smells like too. Unless they smell similar to dove lol. I agree generally malaysians are not used to frangrances. Now that you lentioned it, one of my fren say i smell like pak arab wif prada l'homme. Funny.

Towards the end, mayb after 4-5hours, i feel it turns kindda sweet n powdery. Not really sweet sweet. At least better than the 1st few hours.

maybe reformulated? Lemon unit?
for sure not like minyak cap kapak tongue.gif
neroli is the fresh floral-y note, can smell abit like jasmine
iris usually is the powdery floral scent
dhi has that chocolate-ish accord n cosmetic/lipsticky smell at the late drydown, very different from lhomme

weird, my bottle is 2018
low sillage, sad 1-2 hour projection, decent 6+ hours longevity, mostly a skin scent, I usually spray at the collar, people can barely smell it
*
Yep mine is 2018. Maybe lemon unit. Most likely will go to the retailers to try to try the tester when i got the chance.

I see, so prada l'homme should not smell lipsticky although it got the iris like dhi.

Mayb i just need to test it out more often. Erm i kindda have sensitive nose, so maybe it is consider strong to me but others cant actually smell it. Thx for ur input bro!
