But bro
So far ayam pakai, banyak awek suka 😅😅

You can always stick to the classics.

just did this few days ago lol

love the magnetic cap

The thing with perfume is that you don’t want to smell like everyone else. So, the higher the price, the less chance that you will smell like everyone in the room.

Tom Ford perfume is quite sophisticated. The top notes, mid and base notes are all very different so you will smell differently throughout the day as the perfume goes from top to mid to base notes. I collect perfumes. I have a lot of perfumes but my favorite by far are Tom Ford’s signature and private blend line.

This is because unlike most other perfumes which are one dimensional and smell the same throughout its lifespan, Tom Ford stuff are very layered. Sillage and longevity are also very decent for his perfumes.

I tend to enjoy fougere type of perfume for morning wear while leather scents are my signature scent for night wear. Weekends, I experiment with Aquatic scents and also the occasional Oud.

I don’t like Orientals but I don’t mind Josh Lee’s Oud which is an oriental oud based perfume by a Penangnite.

Sauvage smells alright until you start to sweat in the sweltering heat. Then the whale vomit scent floats up to the top. I believe it’s called ambergris.

example?

old spice is gooding

Some of the classics have been refomulated and watered down over the years like Drakkar Noir, Polo Green, Davidoff Cool Water and CK Obsession.

I know that my vintage Drakkar Noir has a longer projection and sillage than my 2015 juice. Luckily I still keep vintage bottles of Polo Green, Cool Water and Obsession.

The newer men’s perfume like Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather (made famous by Drake) is a great frag. I use it extensively when I was travelling. Air stewardesses tend to gravitate towards strong smelling frags as your sense of smell tend to go as the plane ascends.

I tried to love John Varvatos’s Artisan Blue but the Aquatic scent is not very long lasting and needs to be reapplied every 5 hours.

Otherwise, Oud scent is quite sexy if you can pull it off.

Does the Tom Ford Oud Wood scent last long? Only had chance to use Tom Ford Black Orchid in the past, didn’t last long for me.

Oud Wood is long lasting but the sillage is quite short range. It becomes a skin scent in our warm weather after 6 hours. But it’s still there though and the good thing is that only your gf or wife can smell it on you when you kiss their neck.

It’s a very posh scent though. Smells of rosewood and oud. It’s not a scent anyone can pull off.

The thing with Tom Ford is that his scents are very niche. You either could pull it off or you can’t. I love some of his private blend stuff like Vanilla Tobacco but I can’t see myself wearing it though as it smells too sweet like a gingerbread on the dry down.

Good to hear it last longer. Yeah the sillage is quite short in warm weather.

If you want good projection and performance, try Josh Lee’s Oud. That shit projects like a beast in our tropical climate. It’s made by a Malaysian. Penangnite actually. And it’s actually quite decent frag and very cheap.

His other perfume, the Georgetown is not very nice though. I smelt it and I didn’t like it. YMMV though.

Ps - forgot to add that Josh’s Oud is an oriental type of perfume that uses Oud as its main ingredient. You may want to try it first before buying as most men might find Oriental scents too feminine but Josh brilliantly brings the animalistic Oud into the mix to balance out the femininity.

I like oud wood but bros try Oud for Greatness by Initio. I have a little decant and loved the shit out of it

Thanks buddy. Will check it out.

I am on my Oud phase and am on the lookout for good Oud scents.

A bit of feminine scent is kinda nice. Many unisex scents are kinda borderline feminine. Personally i stan rose scents like Cartier Declaration de un soir, Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady and Rose&Cuir , diptyque Eau Capitale

True but Chanel for men is quite feminine. I sampled some of their men’s perfume and imho they should stick to their ladies line for their perfume.

I enjoy Clinique Happy occasionally and that’s quite a unisex scent but most of Chanel’s Men stuff are geared towards the ladies.

I'm still old school with kenneth cole

Idk i have scented some really sus perfumes.


Chanel i think is still pretty safe.

Bleu de Chanel, Allure Homme, Allure homme sport. Owned and loved them.

Dior Homme Intense is also a favourite

Thanks a lot for that. Will have a look in future.

Currently use Amouage Revelation but would consider oud for the next buy.

I still prefer Acqua Di Parma stuff to Chanel if we are comparing mainstream brands. Their barbershop scent from their blue bottle stuff is very nice. I had a sample of it and I love it but i kept forgetting to buy a bottle as I kept detouring to TF boutique whenever I am in KLCC.

im going to take your words on this. can support locals while trying new fragrance
