very nice indeed. come get one bro  brows.gif
You're most welcome bro. Glad to be of help. Later come share your haul with us  biggrin.gif
You should try get a decant sample from bros in here. I do believe some of them can give you a decant of both Aventus & Green Irish Tweed (not old irish tweed) tongue.gif for a reasonable price. Those two are well loved fragrance within the community  wub.gif
Even the seller said authenthic grade 5A perfume. wtf does that even mean. authentic but 5A grade?  even got people review long lasting somemore. really weird how they can get that performance from a fake. I even heard some fake got use like urine or something inside the fragrance  puke.gif

Guys, I present you my last week haul. Rasasi LaYuqawam. Very Very Very Very identical to TF Tuscan Leather. So glad bro ferros recommend this one to me  thumbup.gif
The packaging for this one really puts other expensive niche fragrance to shame *cough* creed *cough* tf private blend *cough*
The bottle sits in this nice wooden box and even got magnet somemore in between the box. Really really well done on the packaging.

Nice, how's the shipping?fast enough? Btw do share your reviews on them later on smile.gif

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.

No lah bro. Can tapau because cheap cheap one. If at retail price, I cry only watching la. Yes that was my last haul of 2018  nod.gif  20% off for scented candles and their other products. The fragrances are 50% off bro  rclxms.gif but sadly for men, not many left. The best ones are no more. I heard from the SA a couple of months back got someone tapau 2 bottles of jubilation from there. I wonder if it was bro ferros  hmm.gif
I went to the shop a few months back and it seemed authentic. They even have a thread in lowyat.

My haul of 2019 and probably will stop buying for quite sometime after this  bye.gif

Because of you now i feel the urge to buy an amouage too hehehe. But something that the wifey also love. So Amouage Beach hut man is our choice 😁

user posted image

Not for everyone of course..icy mint woody green with a touch of earthiness to it. It was just an ok scent for me when i 1st tried it through a sample. But after using it from time to time it really grew on me.

Now i love it. From the start you will get a blast of icy mint. Almost cleared my nose from sniffing to close hehe. I sense a grassy and earthy tone to it. Definitely from the vetiver note. Not sure about the galbanum...maybe thats whats taming the vetiver from becoming too earthy.

Overall not much transition on my skin...but not too linear also. It does become a bit "damp" or moist after a while.probably from the moss notes. Its Like having this cool aromatic dewy, grass & overgrown mint leaves as a garden infront of your house. Or should i say your beach hut.

Oh longevity is epic. 14 hours. Sillage & projection is just amazing. What more can i ask right.

P.s : yes. I do make decants of this. 5ml & 10ml 😁👍. PM tepi ok

nice review bro. i also tried this Beach Hut along with Figment, Bracken and imitiation recently, and added this into my wishlist (not sure when i can buy this ) . Very good performance on my skin too.

Among all those i like bracken & figment. Still looking for a good price for those before pulling the trigger hehee. Imitation turns a little florally on me...but thats from only 1 testing. Wont judge it fully yet 😁

Tried Figment. Too animalic for me. Love Bracken due to the heavy patchouli.

Oh, so that is what it was unfortunately it was not stronger and punchy than the rose smell from Opus X.
Noted Elinoir, thanks for the tips.

Unfortunately I returned the Amouage Fate the same day and exchange to Amouage Opus X

Before decision was made, I have sprayed Opus X on my left hand and Fate on my right hand, after about 30 minutes, I grew to love more for Opus X and went back to exchange, the powerful and striking rosy smell that makes me fall for Opus X while fate smell like any other regular perfume out there.

I got heavy cumin note from Fate opening too. Need to survive first 2 hours maybe. Very daring to wear . I like the the rose note from opus X but definitely love lyric more. Lyric woman also nice. Some said even more masculine than the lyric man. Btw, nice haul.

True that bro. After trying both lyric woman and man on skin I definitely can say that the woman is more musky than the men laugh.gif
Lyric man is softer and smoother during the drydown

Gender bender a bit in Amouage Lyric. Among all amouages, Which 1 is your Fav for now?

Interlude man bro. I don't think any amouage can dethrone that masterpiece tongue.gif
Second is memoir man and third would be epic woman. If I owned reflection man and jubilation, the list may change but interlude will still be no.1 hehe

And I believe yours will be lyric man bro?
*
Hail to the blue beast : ) . Actually lyric is my 3rd fav after Reflection and Journey. For the newer release, Bracken and Beach Hut Man really nice too. Currently looking for decent price before pulling the trigger.

I’ve been sampling it for a while before decided to get a full bottle, and i like it very much. It is sophisticated, I get a lot of sweet tonka bean in the opening + slight bitterness + synthetic leather. Leather in FF is not the same as leather we get from Tuscan Leather. FF leather is softer I would say, and synthetic. It has cosmetic/make up vibe, similar to DHI but in different direction. Its kinda linear, as it stays as it is from opening till it faded. Performance wise, projection is moderate but good enough for me. Longevity, it stays on my shirt for a very long hours (10+ hrs). But on skin, it last around 6-7 hours. This is love or hate frag, and you really need to sample it first before buying since smelling on the test strip is not good enough. Summary - a unique and sophisticated frag that smells bitter sweet + synthetic leather + cosmetic/makeup vibe all the way.
*
hi Bro, where u got your samples from? i tried FF at KLCC , Genting Highland , and Klia. Now, no more place to try any more. later they will recognize me. Haha . The price is abit expensive here in Malaysia. I got tonka and leather (like from DHP). I love the smell. My wife hate this.

I went there once just to try their fragrance and the sa gave me two free samples without purchasing anything. I got Tuscan leather and neroli portfofino.

Love Tuscan Leather. Too bad the current formulation doesnt stay long on my skin. End up buying cheaper alternative with better performance, la yuqawam and PDM godolphin. But Tuscan Leather definitely more ashy. To my untrained nose, not much different.

Yes. Totally loving Tuscan leather and hence got myself layuqawam for the cheaper price tag. Add atelier cologne's oud saphir to the mix of clones too. That one also reminds me of Tuscan leather.

Heard about the oud Saphir too. How's the performance?

I have oud saphir (OS) sample from Kens. It is very close to TF Ombre Leather (OL) I would say, but OL has an extra punch, while OS is more subtle. I like both, but since I already have both Tuscan Leather and OL, getting OS would be a redundant purchase. Anyway, you can’t go wrong with OS.
*
Yeah. Guess i will visit Kens to try. thx bro for your insight. Notice any oud? or very subtle?

OL for me is a lighter version of TL. Same goes to OS, but i found that OS is more subtle and ‘silky’ (i don’t know how to describe). However, they are all sharing the same DNA. Same goes to La Yuqawam Pour Homme and Godolphin. Too bad I haven’t had a chance to try out La Yuqawam, but I have Godolphin sample. PDM Godolphin is slightly sweeter in opening, and missing the TL signature of wet cigar scent in dry down.
*
Must try La Yuqawam definitely bro. Really amazed with the perfume and the price. Great Job done by Rasasi. but definitely sweeter than TL too with less Ash-y scent.
