Agreed 4711 smells simple and cheap to me.

Give Le Male another chance...try it on skin if u didn't. The dry down although plasticky synthetic vanilla is quite good and not as vulgar as the initial top notes. Took me a year of on n off testing at the counters to appreciate it and eventually I bought a bottle.

It turned my neck red and itchy after I sprayed Le Male on. Took about 30mins for the redness n itchiness to subside. However when I wear LE Male now I no longer get any allergic reactions.

The only ones that feel threatened by this so called "hideous trend" are repressed closeted homosexuals. Straight men that are confident of their sexuality won't let things like perfume affect them.

Women have been wearing men perfume for ages and I don't see anyone calling it a "hideous trend".

When sprayed on skin Dunhill Edition is almost as long lasting

I've heard many good things about Gucci Nobile...it's rare i think so better make that bottle last LOL.

I just tried Polo Crest last night. I think I like it ! Has that similar mature vibe like Edition, Aramis and Escada Pour Homme.

Go try Aramis Havana if u have the chance. I've tried a very frag similar to it and was very impressed...n they say Havana is even better.

The beat should have better sillage n longevity..but this is based on a few tests on skin. I used to own adg n de longevity n sillage is average at best.

Absolute nonsense.

U probably don't understand the concept of top notes and base notes.

Platinum Egoiste lasts very long on me n many other ppl I know.

U bought a fake.

I like your taste in frags man. Do try Hermes Hiris...its one of the best light female frags IMHO.

Which Guerlain u tried ?

Younger ladies - anything fresh, aquatic n slightly sweet. Get something not so run if the mill n u will impress them even more.

Older ladies - woodier frags with a hint of bitterness.

These r just generalizations I came up with thru experience. Time n time again I've gotten compliments on frags I imagined women will hate. Frags r full of surprises

im no expert...i'm just an avid wearer of frags (fragrances)

All frags have water as one of the main ingredients...but what gives the frag the particular scent are the various chemicals (natural n synthetic). Some of these chemicals are in oil form. Whether the frag is woody or aquatic it can't be called water based. This is a very simple explanation...do a google search on the chemistry involved in perfumery.

Yea I agree Cool Water is rather short lasting. but try no to judge a frag based on the top notes. the main reason a lot of ppl complain about longevity is coz they get fooled by the top notes. It's the alcohol that makes it so intense. So wait for an hour den decide whether u like the frag or not.

both r average...regular euphoria has dismal longevity n sillage but IMHO it smells really good. Euphoria Intense is too sweet but silage n longevity is good.

Some counters have Ice Men, B*Men, Pure Malt n Pure Coffee. Or just ask the SA coz they might not display the frags but the testers might still be available (eg Mugler Cologne).

Where can compare lidat la fren. apples n oranges. all depends on which frag u like. i like Code but i don't find it better than AdG or Beat as all 3 r different type of frags.

RM250 n above r for the bigger sizes.

50ml bottles r RM180-RM220

Ya my room LOL.

I've seen a few bottles in Jusco Sunway Pyramid last year. but they could be gone already. skip the major malls like KLCC n Pavilion. try looking in the smaller Juscos n not so classy malls.

its a pity such an excellent classy frag is no longer being sold here.

Dude r u for real ?

Even the pathetic looking Jusco perfume section at IOI Mall has AdG.

Every dept store has an Armani counter.

Or u can go back to the same place where u bought Code. it's by Armani too btw and so is Aqua di Gio.

Armani has a lot of frags...

which one are u talking about ?

That's old news...I have known since mid last year.

Nope...Singapore still has more competitive prices.

No way will the local importers/distributors let Sephora monopolize.
