Anyone can suggest frags which hv similar note as CK Eternity...but better sillage or longevity...thanks

hey jonny,
what do you think of ysl l'homme vs la nuit l'e homme vs dior higher energy

i use ck for him...nice smell..

hello. Have anyone tried Declaration by Cartier before? someone said that it's smells nice and blends well with cigarette smoke; in which it is suitable for smokers.

i've been told that i can only find this perfume at KLCC. im looking forward to buy this perfume. so, any review on this Declaration by Cartier perfume?

hmm smells of rendang....must make one hungry in that case...so far jonny, have you found any perfume that blends well with cigarette smoke??

Just got One Million, nightwear/special occassions only or daily?

hey jonny,
apart from dunhill edition? i believe the product is discontinued.

thank u maloa and jonny4 for the replies. im still searching for the right scent for me. tried various perfumes and still couldnt find
a scent that i really love. mayb i should try Declaration by Cartier as it is said to have a unique smell. smells like rendang? haha. who knows
it might smell differently on my body.

im also considering to try Chanel Egoiste. between Declaration by Cartier and Chanel Egoiste, which one would u suggest?

btw, on a technique on how to spray a perfume, perhaps u could search in Youtube on various way to spray a perfume and just choose
a technique that suits u best.

Guys ...
Do you guys apply perfume ?
Any recommendation ?

Hi, I'm new to this thread.
next week I'm flying back home so I want to buy a Sean John unforgivable Eau De toilette Spray but dont know where to buy? can you help me ?
is there any perfume duty free shop in LCCT ?
or perfume shop in Midvalley, KLCC ? I dont have much time so I think it's better to ask you guy first
thank you so much.

I will chek them this saturday. hope that they get it.
is SASA shop in pavillon too ?
Thank you so much 

gentlemen.
what's the best pick?

YSL Opium, YSL  l'homme or Salvatore Ferragmo Subtil cologne.

i like fragrances with woody scents, strong and project well and of course with great longevity.
not a fan of those sweet fruity smell kind of thing..

currently wearing ysl kouros to work and Joop! Jump for evening wear. i really like kouros.give me more confidence.hard to wear though..
and Joop! really have great sillage.

so.. Opium, L'Homme or Subtil? help me pls guys..

sorry. really hard to decide on what to buy everytime i went to perfume shop.

went fragrance lurking with my gf just now

tried all kind of things. most of them i try on paper first, if its kind of intriguing then only i tried on skin. so i write here so i will remember. consider it as my noob review to noob readers here lol.

Platinum Egoiste - smells like generic stuff, very familiar, from the old school, but probably 'classic' is the right word. tried the new Eau De Blue but still i think its generic.

Prada d'Homme/Iris/Amber - somehow i have a hard time differentiating between this three. they all smell almost the same LOL. tried to like them coz i heard ppl say Prada ones are very clean and luxurious, but at the end i dont really like them coz i think they smells like rubber band. anyone know what this note actually is?

Bulgari Black- i tried to find rubber and leather, but only manage to find some kind of black tea. LOL. but still i recommend it if want to find something different. anyone can recommend other rubber/leather frags? John Varvatos available in KL ?

Live Jazz - yes minty, but too herbal for my taste. Didnt find it really appealing for a fresh and clean scent.

Paul Smith Story - It dissapeared into nothing after a couple of minutes on paper, only left with something smelling like tea. have to try again.

Lacoste Essential/Dunhill Fresh - very fresh and clean but nothing really impressive to me.

Gucci by Gucci - this one get my attention, the smell is really distinctive from the others, its fresh but still masculine, also i donno if its only psychological thing, but when i tried to blend it with cigarette smoke it smells more sensual. my gf also agree with me. i already grab it if i didnt think the longevity abit sucked, but im gonna try it again next time. hope the SA wont recognize us. 
this is only my noob opinion, dont take it too seriously. 

boought fierce in the UK...got A&F store in London...now finished already...love it..its just very unique,,,but confirm again egoiste plat is like fierce? coz i reead on basenotes.com , it s not really getting thumbsup...generic perfume
wht bout lolita lempicka au masculin..i heard its comparable to a*men ...im very keen lately in gourmand type of perfume

yeah i agree with this. we should not blindly trust reviews in Basenotes or any American based sites. must take it with a grain of salt. furthermore, you will find all sorts of snobs and connoisseur wannabe on the net. some niche fan will go bash designer frags for lacking 'taste' eventhough it is a good scent actually.

while there are many good and reliable reviewers on the net, they tried their best to define a scent according to their available understanding, but it will an effort of futility if at the end of the day the scent smells like Minyak Cap Kapak to us.

for example orientals and incense may have a sort of mystery in the west, but they are common and regular stuff over here. like last time i tried Bulgari Black, almost EVERY reviews on the internet will say it smells like rubber from tyre shop, but when i smell it, its nothing close. i finally found out those westerners cannot differentiate between a tyre shop and chinese black tea LOL. just try giving a Durian to a westerner, you will be amazed by all the descriptions they come up with. 

much agreeable on that...and moreover do remember that they had 4 season which is also a factor of how a perfume diffuse, i.e perfume that they use in winter complain about sillage wherelese over here is a monster...!!!
past few days it was very cooling in singapore 21deg..i wore the perfume that cant really project well enough.. i was thinking sprayed too little ended up over-spray and someone fainted in the company... LOL just kidding..
the perfume : YSL l'homme

over in singapore they do sell mini decants i.e 1-5ml perfume at lucky plaza, and also "tester" sets, for perfume collectors, i would recommend you to do this, go over to next door tangs or ion/isetan which is further up, test the perfume you want, then go over lucky plaza and look for tester units, which cost slightly cheaper, however do remember to test the perfume out to make sure the it is still o.k

i've just tested d&g mini sample perfume on the one and the one gentleman...

the one gentleman - slightly powdery low sillage on cold weather(assuming i am in my room for 2 hours temp 22-25 deg) skin scent

the one - sweet, better projection that the one gentleman

jonny, i am temp between allure  homme VS sports VS edition blance,
chanel platinium egoste, egoiste,rive gauche

in terms of longivty vs sillage vs for smokers

hi im new to this thread
