QUOTE(Eisenmeteor @ Oct 26 2009, 07:37 PM) But I guess try it on skin would be a better choice to make decision right? There's this shop call Beauty Language in SG..Called Beauty language,its something like Just Parfum.Perfume is cheaper in SG? And has anyone heard of this Franck Olivier? Saw it at some store counter.. Prices at major department stores like Tangs, Isetan and Takashimaya are going to be either equal or more expensive than prices here. But according to my SG friends, there are some places in Mustafa where prices can go as low as SGD50 for a 100ml bottle. Of course don't expect the latest colognes to be obtainable at such low prices. SG also has a bigger selection of fragrances to choose from compared to Msia. I have heard of Franck Olivier but I have not tested them before. Where did u see it ?

The new Allure Homme Edition Blanche is retailing for RM210 so the much older Allure Sport should be less. Chanel men's fragrances are available in almost all department stores (Parkson, Jusco, Metro). Allure Sport is quite good and is very similar to Versace Pour Homme.

QUOTE(jonny4 @ Oct 25 2009, 09:15 PM) 1-2 hrs ? Impossible that it's so short lasting. 1 spray on my arm and it lasts at least 5 hours. Don't be fooled by the top notes because they never last. really?? i never knew a thing about first note or base note before i join in this thread but come to think of it I think you're right. the scent is still there in the afternoon even if i sprayed it in the morning. it's just not strong enough to be noticed without sniffing.haha oh where can i find/test versace eau freich and Sean Jean Unforgivable? do they have it in Parkson KLCC?

A lot of us are fooled to think that a perfume is weak just because a couple of hrs after we spray it on it doesn't smell the same/strong anymore. But it was made to progress that way. I have worn a few perfumes that smell the same from start to finish and trust me it can be quite tiresome and cloying after 3-4 hrs. Versace Eau Fraiche and Unforgivable is very common and available in almost every department store in the KL/PJ area. So Parkson KLCC most definitely has it.

QUOTE(jonny4 @ Oct 26 2009, 01:21 PM) TdH - Bitter oranges, woody and a gunpowder like smokiness.
Power - Sweet creamy florals. It's quite feminine though and i feel can be worn by both sexes.
M7 - Sweet medicinal cherry cough syrup with bitterness in the background. Hints of vanilla too.
If I were u M7 would be my choice. Element is light, Envy is average strength and M7 would be that strong evening wear cologne. But test on skin 1st though. QUOTE(Joey-kun @ Oct 26 2009, 04:30 PM) always try before you buy. Our opinions may differ from your tastes and needs, so just try them out on paper, if you like it try on skin. Perfume takes up to 2 hours to fully develop so take your time to sample them. Thanks jonny4 &Joey! I'll be headin to KLCC or Pavillion this week to try these perfumes. By the way, do you have these perfumes? Have you been using it every since you bought them?

Since I bought them i wear them maybe once a month. Im a bit shy in saying this but I have a lot of colognes that's why they get worn only once a month Colognes i really like i wear maybe 2-3 times a month but never more than once a week

Everyone has their own kind of unique body scent, mix that up with a cologne and u will get a somewhat unique smelling effect. Just ask the sales assistant to spray your arm/wrist the next time u r out testing fragrances.

QUOTE(Johannbeckham @ Oct 27 2009, 10:13 AM) may we know which colognes you use/wear 2-3 times a month? My taste in colognes changes very often. One month I might love cologne A then the next month I'll hate it But the colognes I love and wear more or less 2-3 times a month since the day I bought them in no specific order are: YSL Rive Gauche YSL Kouros Hermes Terre d'Hermes Solo Loewe Bulgari Aqua Gucci Pour Homme Prada Infusion d'Homme Prada Amber Pour Homme Hermes Concentree D'Orange Verte Dior Fahrenheit Dior Eau Sauvage Chanel Pour Monsieur This list is quite inaccurate as it can be very different the next month. This list is based on how much is left in the bottle too. So above are the ones that seemed to be lesser than the rest This post has been edited by jonny4: Oct 27 2009, 11:06 AM

You got to be a little thick skin as the sales assistants sometimes think it's weird that u want to spray your skin instead of paper. I've gotten a few "Are you serious ?" look from them when i asked them to spray my arm. I remember one male sales assistant being so reluctant to spray my arm that I asked him to pass the tester to me so I could have a closer look. I took the bottle from him and sprayed my arm twice...he was shocked and angry at what i did LOL. Most of them will not hesitate to spray your arm when requested. Eternity Summer I've only worn the 2006 edition so i'm not too sure. But Paco Rabanne XS smells similar to Eternity so u might want to give that a try.
