Yeah the SA is right. Eau Fraiche is similar to those summer editions that come out once a year.

Added on November 8, 2009, 11:50 amI find some Creeds like Erolfa and Vetiver to be really good. But the price tag of RM600 for 100ml puts me off. RM600 could buy me 3-4 bottles of regular designer fragrances. Some Creeds have been copied by designers perfumes. Sean John Unforgivable is a copy of Millesime Imperial for example but Unforgivable is much cheaper. So if u have the money to spend no harm in getting a Creed.

Some Creed haters always point out that their history and heritage has been fabricated...sounds like sour grapes to me. But it's hard to deny that Creed fragrances are of excellent quality. History and heritage is secondary to the smell of the fragrance itself.

Green Irish Tweed is very similar to Davidoff Cool Water. To the average guy both Cool Water and Green Irish Tweed smells the same. As many ppl wear Cool Water, it would be quite a waste of money to get GIT because no on is going to take notice of your RM600 cologne. I rather go with Cool Water as its cheaper.
Creed Himalaya smells a lot like Paco Rabanne XS.

Unforgivable is a decent citrus cologne. It does have that very refreshing 7-Up like smell in the top notes. But longevity is a little disappointing on me, about 6 hours. Sillage is just average for this kind of cologne. But the gift sets are quite worth it.

Hugo Boss Pure I have tried only once before and it was very uninteresting. The moment u smell it u will start thinking..."hey..I've smelled this somewhere before". Pure is another one of those citrus/spice/woods kind of fragrance that is inoffensive and perfect for office or college. Only worth getting if cheap.

A*Men = Shieldtox LOL

No idea man. I haven't used any of the Adidas perfumes before. However I heard that Adidas Moves is quite good, but im not sure if it's available locally.

I don't think Lynx/Axe is available here. I've got a few cans of Lynx Vice that I bought from UK.

Best place would be the department stores like Parkson and Metrojaya. However, different outlets of the same department store sometimes have a different variety gift sets for the same perfume. So if u really want to get the best possible deal i suggest u scout around pj/kl area. If u r lucky u might find a gem of a gift set.

As Christmas is about a month away there should be quite a number of Christmas gift sets around. If u can wait till early Dec, i can guarantee there will be even more giftsets. I usually wait till mid January because sometimes they will start giving 20-30% discounts on the Christmas gift sets. But I can't guarantee this.

Don't u think RM20 for 100ml is a bit too good to be true ?

Smells like strawberry jam with a dash of woods and patchouli in the base notes. Absolutely wonderful. Black XS is a very linear fragrance throughout.

Added on November 13, 2009, 6:05 pmI agree. It's very nice to wear when u need something light and inoffensive. CK be remains IMO one of the best fragrances from CK. I just wish Ck be lasted a little longer.

Almost all CK perfumes are light and don't last very long IMO
But if u like the way your perfume sets u into a good mood then by all means go with it.

My current favourites are (in no particular order):

1. Givenchy Gentleman
2. Solo Loewe
3. YSL Rive Gauche
4. CK be
5. Gucci Pour Homme
6. YSL Kouros

My "favourites" list changes very fast
can be a different one tmw.

I got 75 bottles at the moment

You and another million guys on earth also think AdG is the best ever

Too common almost everywhere. I used to love AdG but I have graduated to more mature smelling fragrances. But that doesn't stop me from wearing AdG once in a while to relive the memories of youth

I just turned 26. Why ?

Nothing to be envy about. We all got our own passions and mine happens to be fragrances

I'm interested in Le Male. How much do u apply usually ?

Nowadays most of us live in almost a fully air conditioned world, so winter/cold or summer weather fragrances don't really make a difference to me. That being said, if I know i'll be in the outdoors for a long period, I'll generally stay away from sweet gourmands fragrances and strong orientals. If i'm going for a day out in the mall, i'll usually wear whatever I want.

XS or Black XS ?

Usually when I got to Tangs the SAs there are nice and helpful. But u got to be nice to them because they are the ones that will give you free samples
I find the Jusco SAs to be rather unfriendly.

I prefer the SAs to leave me alone as they only push the newer releases which I'm usually looking for something not so run of the mill and most of the time released 20-30 yrs ago.

XS and Black XS are very different. I would say Black XS smells more youthful and sweeter compared to XS. However, XS smells fresher and more of an everyday fragrance compared to its younger brother Black XS.

Well lets give the SA credit because at least he/she knows that Black XS is stronger than XS LOL

I haven't tried Only The Brave. I found the bottle a little too tacky so that influenced me not to try it haha.

Polo Black is a mild fruity cologne with a prominent mango note. Nothing black about Polo Black But still an ok fragrance.

Double Black has a similar mango note but they added a coffee note, making DB stronger and richer than Polo Black.

Depends on what u already have u see. Do u have anything else other than Code ?
If no I would suggest u go for either Black or Blue instead. Code is more of a evening fragrance and Black and Blue would be more suited to be worn regularly in the day. I have a 50ml bottle of Polo Black that I no longer wear. I won't mind selling it for cheap. Let me know through pm if u r interested.

Edit: Btw, I still prefer Black over Double Black as I find the coffee note in DB to be very cloying.
