Do you guys buy fragrances from online stores like END, Mr Porter or Selfridges? Seems to be a restriction on shipping fragrances on every site I go. I just checked fragranceX and the shipping came out to be 350 USD for some reason lol

Hey guys, what’s a safe fragrance to start on with Le Labo and Frederic Malle?

For perspective, i do like quite a range of scents but nothing too crazy or outlandish.

Favourites are Bleu De Chanel, Tuscan and Ombre Leather, Declaration d un soir, Dior Homme Intense, Diptyque L’eau de Neroli

Le Labo - Santal33 / Rose31

FM - Portrait of a Lady / Promise

Thou I would only seriously consider Promise from FM if I really have to choose a scent.

Thanks! How do you like Noir 29?

I find le labo-ring  brows.gif , most of it too linear or too essential oil-ish
Santal 33 is pretty nice thought

FM, I've only sampled a few in jp, musc ravageur/poal/iris/monsieur
I'd go with musc ravageur or monsier
I only have a sad vial of POAL, one thing for sure, u have to love rose + it leans feminine, the mid-drydown is beautiful

not really niche "niche" but if u like leather, check out
Guerlain Cuir Intense, insane performance
LV Nouveau Monde
Gucci Voice of the Snake

Has anyone ordered decants from Scent Split before?

They have a real nice variety of niche perfumes

Hi all, what do you think  about Cartier declaration d’un soir ? Does it suit a teenager(18yr ish)?
*
It’s one of my favourite perfumes that I own. That rose is killer. I’d say go for it, but it can be something that’s super out there for a teenager.

Might be polarising for girls that age (coz that’s a main part of why we wear perfumes too right? 😏) and some of them might think you’re wearing a woman’s perfume

Haha yes I am just worried that it might be too sweet, how is the dry down like ? It is either this or hawas by rasasi which would be a safer bet but it seems rather boring as I have similar fresh citrusy scents on my collection. I have recently sampled Zara 9.0 and rich warm and addictive, those seem too sweet for me, would Cartier be this sweet as well ?
*
I can’t remember much because it’s in Malaysia and i’m not but i wouldn’t call it sweet. I don’t like sweet fragrances as well, especially with tonka bean.

There’s a lot of spicy , woody rose so it’s more floral than sweet. I’d say go for it, I remember when i first bought it, it really is very unconventional from what i thought about the typical men’s fragrance.

You can’t check it out at malls?

I’m getting it on Lazada(FRAGRANKITA), what do you think about hawas ? Hawas(rm 275) and Cartier(rm 229)
*
Sorry man can’t comment on Hawas and CK One have not smelt them.

But i dont think you will regret the Cartier.

It’s got a warmth to it, and that rose is really classy, think of wearing to a nice dinner event. Definitely an evening fragrance

Hey can anyone give me perfume recommendation here?  notworthy.gif

So I(29/M) need a perfume for sports and mainly for running day/night with high sillage and performance. I'm looking for something fresh(main scent im looking for), soapy with a wood/musks base notes. I'd avoid sweet scent and would welcome some fruity notes that still smells sophisticated and masculine.
As a guy, my outfit is usually a clean sports look. I wear mostly black and a mix of dark blue, less bright with a high cut sneakers with some red accents. Day time I'd wear white and mustard/ochre with my brown chukka or white sneakers.

Tried some and love Hugo (or was it Hugo Now, i remember the scent as apples and fresh ). Toy Boy (or Toy 2..Im not good with this sry) was equally nice too. Something in the price range of the two would be great. Recently got a Sauvage, so might need something different. biggrin.gif

I like Mancera Cedrat Boise, Dior Homme Sport, Dyptique L’eau de Neroli, Acqua di Parma Essenza

Hi all, what do you think of mancera cedrat Boise? Is it considered a niche fragrance ? Does like work well for teens ?
*
I’m using it, very easy to wear on any occasion.

Yea it’ll work well, quite a crowd pleaser.

Mancera is a cool house coz i realise you get sort of niche scents for like half the price

The price is stated on the website.

Around 1,650 for the smaller bottle I think
