Hi guys, I hope you dont mind me joining this LYN Fragrantica..although the thread is for guys perfume, but i'm more towards unisex scent. Searched at the ladies forum, nothing interesting & i dont wear makeup.
I mostly collect miniatures, and have a handful of full bottles as well....here's my wardrobe  http://www.fragrantica.com/member/257970/ Most fav house is from Diptyque & Jo Malone. I used to buy a lot from FragranceX until one day i received a warning from pharmacy dept prohibiting me from importing perfumes without permission from them  Due to our shitty exchange rates & the import limitation i have to stop buying online/overseas...buying local are expensive too thanks to GST :'( |

QUOTE(t0n3 @ Feb 23 2016, 08:19 PM) Welcome on board. We have a couple of female perfumista here too. Thank you I believe fragrancex is under their radar. I received a couple of warning letters from them too with purchases from fragX only but I think it's okay if it's for personal use. I didn't bother.   Well after the 1st warning i dont dare to buy from FragX again..the fine 25k yoo...too hefty  QUOTE(marver @ Feb 24 2016, 01:46 PM) Welcome speedfamgirl,Share with all of us here anything bout your bottle collection. Thanks Marver, i do stalk around your online store for potential decant binge in the future Diptyque i do own one of their only rose base fragrance (Eau Rose),In fact is my wifey bottle,But sometimes i curi curi use... Smells simply breathtaking.  I've tested all Diptyque & bought all the full bottles that i liked before GST, that sales lady knows my face everytime i linger around at Pavilion, so does the Jo Malone SAs...malu la pulak to walk out empty handed. Do you guys do swap? I'm thinking of swapping my tuberose based L'Artisan Nuit de Tubereuse with Fou d`Absinthe or Premier Figuier (bought new, unboxed but never sprayed) since i already have Diptyque Do Son. I realised that i'm not a big fan of tuberose |

So far i never encountered any snobbish SAs at high end shop...i think the Sasa girls are more snobbish 😛
Because most of the time the SA layan me soo good it would be bad if i dont buy anything for them. But when nothing interesting at the moment i just keep telling them to send me newsletter for new product, or i just read on fragrantica for upcoming perfumes & wish they would have the tester available. Coconut fig like Phylosykos & Fico di Amalfy, i already have them...although in edt. I find its hard for me to wear tuberose because there is simply never any suitable occasion for me to wear it. Too prim & formal to use at work (dirty, noisy & risky job but not banggala level). At nights out i prefer something smoky & dry vanilla like Diptyque Eau Duelle or TF black orchid. I like green & unisex the most because of its versatility in our weather. For me wearing girly perfumes in a sausage fest working environment is a distraction...lol. Nope, im not a tomboy...haha! QUOTE(edwardleong eb 25 2016 @ 09:19 PM) I stopped buying online for a very very long time after an idiotic encounter with kastam  and i do admit i am a brand conscious dude. whenever i want to spur more than 700 for sth that i am applying on me to smell nice of coz i want to be treated like a king by the sales person. When i was in HK, visited the shop that retail Frederic Malle thinking to replenish my bigarade concentre but i walked out due to the sa that look down on me, and i went to kilian counter, the sa is so lovely and knowledgeable spend time let me test test spray spray and teach me on how to enjoy exclusive kilian 10% discount bla bla bla, i was so happy and walk away with a few bottles and tonnes of sample sprays lol inside by kilian shopping bag and i purposely go back to that moronic shop with my haul, the sa like omfg change attitude 720 degree. i was lmao so dont feel malu to keep test test test and walk out empty handed. this is not like go pasar malam buy things... customer is always right and they are king, you dont buy today doesnt mean you wont buy in the near future  What kind of fig are you looking for? if coconut milky kind of fig, dont think so much just get Diptyque Philosykos edp will do if greener side then Adp Fico di Amalfi or Armani Prive Figuer Eden Tuberose is an acquired taste. sometimes it can be either very carnal, green or coconut... and there are only 2 that i love which are Frederic Malle Carnal Flower and Kilian Beyond love. given the love but i cant find the perfect occasion to wear it coz whenever i am up for any upscale event or formal function... TF Black Orchid / By Kilian A Taste of Heaven / Rose Oud will do the trick, daily wear Xerjoff Nio, sensual or date Memo Siwa |
