Where can I sample/buy Creed fragrance?
*
There are only a few places to sample/buy Creed in KL/PJ. Isetan KLCC and Gardens and Tangs Pavilion are the only places that have Creed. U will need the SAs help as the bottles on display are usually empty. Creed is way overpriced IMO.

No offense, but aquatic frags are kinda boring after the first bottle. More so when Ahmad, Ali, and Ah Chong all smell alike. Clone army ftl.

Just came back from Isetan KLCC, got Paco Black XS Livesound Edition. Its the same as Black XS, but it comes with some bracelet. Looks good from the outside, but its some cheapo synth leather, definitely gonna tear after a few wears. Feel quite cheated, should've gotten the one with the shower gel instead. sad.gif Just a word of advice for potential Black XS buyers.
Don't get me wrong, Paco makes good perfume, but they're waaay too gimmicky. Paco One Million anyone? To me its just a milder version of Black XS, with a gimmicky gold bullion lookalike bottle.

Tested Kouros and M7 at Parkson, KLCC. kotmj was right, it DOES smell like urine. HAHA! jonny's favourite M7 is great for anyone who likes spicy perfumes. To me its just the right balance, not too overpowering unlike the Arabian Oud smell.

Oh and, Isetan > Parkson in terms of service. Way friendlier, and they actually took me seriously, unlike other places with sales reps giving me the "Dior? Meh, go get Adidas instead, boy" look.

I agree with what u said except the part about Kouros LOL. No it doesn't smell like pee to me.

Generally I find the Isetan SAs friendlier and better trained (not only fragrances dept). The worse bunch I have encountered are the Parkson 1U SAs...lazy, arrogant and too pushy (especially the Malay dude with a pony tail that mans the Azzaro/Paco counter..no means no fren!).

I own a bottle of Aqua and a small sample of Marine.

Marine to me smells less unique but fresher than the regular Aqua. In terms of the sillage and longevity, I still find regular Aqua to be better. But it doesn't mean Marine is a bad fragrance, I just prefer Aqua more. The freshness in Marine is a result of the added grapefruit note in the topnotes. In all Marine is just too generic smelling and not really worth the RM200+ for 50ml price. However the bottle, similar to Aqua's bottle is quite cool biggrin.gif

Aqua and Black are totally different frags and its difficult to compare both. But I would say Aqua would be more suited as an everyday office fragrance. Other frags god for office use are YSL L'Homme, YSL Live Jazz, Versace Pour Homme and Paul Smith Story. There are plenty more options really.

Good luck finding a tester for The Dreamer. It's getting really hard to locate nowadays but the frag is worth the effort. I will post here if I come across any Dreamer testers in KL/PJ. I think u have to tell the SA that u want to test Dreamer as they probably don't have the tester on display.

Can someone recommend me something smells fresh and long lasting for people in their 20's. Currently im using widely known CK One which i find doesnt last long enough with me. So im looking for new fragrance that can at least last longer and smell fresh or fruity, i also like aquatic fragrance. Wondering if Acqua di Gio will satisfy my need? Or anyone have other recommendation? thanks! smile.gif

Stay away from Aqua di Gio if u looking for something long lasting please.

Aquatic: Bulgari Aqua, Davidoff Silver Shadow Altitude, Chanel Allure Homme Sport, Azzaro Chrome, Versace Pour Homme.

Fresh: Paco Rabanne XS, Chanel Platinum Egoiste, YSL Live Jazz, Hermes Concentree d'Orange Verte, YSL L'Homme.

In general aquatic and fresh frags don't have good longevity but the ones I suggested above are much longer lasting than average. Chrome, Allure Homme Sport, Versace PH, Platinum Egoiste and Bulgari Aqua are the really long lasting ones.

NR usually tucked away at some corner that's why. It also could be that they have closed some of the counters too. U got to check it out...best go to the bigger malls like mid valley, KLCC and Pavilion to be safe.

Hi jonny,
I have Bulgari Aqua. How does it compare to Davidoff Silver Shadow Altitude? Smell, longevity and sillage.
Thanks.

Silver Shadow Altitude (SSA) is a little sweeter and lighter compared to Aqua. But it isn't too sweet and remains fresh throughout the day. The longevity and sillage of SSA is lesser than Bulgari Aqua. SSA would be perfect for the office or when u going to be in an enclosed environment for long periods.

What I don't like about Aqva is that it sometimes smells sour to me.
And I like wearing scent that is close to skin in office, that does not project too much.
Looks like a winner for the perfect office wear!
Will surely try it in the future.
