how much did DKNY pay u to advertise their perfume?

small stores selling only perfume would most probably sell it at a cheaper price.

ok,
maybe i will try those tester...
i am eager to try the cdg fragrances ...
but it seems malaysia isnt getting any of those shits

CDG stuff may sound very exotic and special but they may not smell as nice as you expect them to...some perfumes are just like that. There's even a perfume maker call Etat d orange libre that tries to mimic the scent of semen as a perfume and calls it secretions manifiques.now that is truly disgusting.

hye guys... just wanna ask for some recommendation here.
plan to buy a perfume for my bf next valentine but I'm having hard time to decide it... ^^
Hmm... my bf never owe one... and he likes somethg simple and fresh... any idea????
*
Try Bulgari Aqua Marine. YSL Live Jazz is a good choice as well.

QUOTE(BboyDora @ Nov 28 2009, 10:50 AM)
wanna ask how about Giorgio Armani Diamond?
*
It smells like strawberry ice cream. very nice and sweet. But i kinda find it too bland for my tastes. Perhaps it may work out for you.

QUOTE(sasuke123 @ Nov 28 2009, 12:02 PM)
how about dolce & gabanna ?
do they make mens fragrances?
*
yep they do. D&G the one pour homme is for men. woody and creamy that most girls like.


QUOTE(arcadicus @ Nov 28 2009, 12:09 PM)
try lacoste essential for men.... very nice fresh smell..


Added on November 28, 2009, 12:17 pmLacoste Essential is just nice casual everyday scent. It is a fresh water/green smell.
It does have a fragrance body activated technology. As your body heat rises the fragrance intensifies. Great spring and summer scent!!

erm most scents have that effects. not just that one.

Diamonds is actually not bad but smells very synthetic after a few wearings IMHO. I do wear it from time to time but I won't recommend Diamonds as an everyday fragrance.

QUOTE(jonny4 @ Nov 29 2009, 01:17 PM)
Spray/apply to skin. Don't be too stingy or too liberal with the perfume. Test a few times to get the best combination of sprays that suits you. Simple as that. I normally apply 5 sprays. 2 spray to the neck and another 3 more sprays to the chest under the clothes. Spraying under clothes (chest, abdomen and etc) gives better longevity but less sillage (trail of scent) and applying to exposed skin areas (arms, wrists, back of neck and sides of neck) gives better sillage (trail of scent) but lower longevity.

That's why i apply to both exposed and unexposed areas to maximize sillage and longevity. There is no set rule about how much or where to apply your perfume. Just be thoughtful of those around you and the situation/occasion.

Also understand that the smell u get right after spraying on a perfume is most of the time different from the smell u get an hour later. Often your perfume will smell weaker and less intense after an hour compared to after just spraying it on. This is normal and it does not mean your perfume is fake or you didn't apply enough. A lot of guys make this mistake and end up applying too much because they don't understand the way a perfume evolves throughout the day.
*
to add,

some perfumes may smell weak when you first spray it, but it gets more and more intense as time passes. those are the ones that you should not apply too much. Then, strong perfumes will require less sprays compared to weaker ones. So you would need to actually use the perfume to find out how much you need to apply then adjust accordingly the next time.

Generally, i spray my pits as well because i have strong BO and also to help the scent distribute evenly around my body.

hmm, why is rubbing bad??

coz you dillute the perfume making it smell lighter as its spread unevenly across your skin. this does not, however apply to strong scents like Guerlain Heritage and M7. Heritage is really strong. I spray and the whole house can smell lol.

i don't have personnal preferences, i only have the experinces of using Polo Sport (looks exactly like this user posted image). I don't know much about perfume as i am only exposed to one only... I would prefer perfumes, that make you smell like a "man", doesn't not smell that hard, but soft enough to get notice.... i hope there are suitable ones... thx  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

best way is to walk up the the SA at the perfume counter and ask for recommendations. We dont know your tastes tongue.gif

QUOTE(attacusatlas @ Dec 10 2009, 12:38 PM)
will try to do that bro but as you know it is always hard to review a CDG fragrance - it is way too 'alternative' and 'unconventional'. they love to use unusual elements to recreate certain scents. my CDG 2 Man smells like ink on a piece of calf leather. go figure.
*
use some online posts to help you identify the notes doh.gif thats what i do. CDG is more of a niche line which means that their scent is not meant to appeal to the masses but only to people with a certain taste. Other examples include the different company (headed by Celine ellena, daughter of jean claude ellena, the master perfumer who created the recent Hermes lines), L'Artisan and juliette has a gun.

Hehehe good review from Jonny.....really appreaciate u...since my type of perfume category are oriental woody, oriental spicy & woody spicy. Below perfumes are in my top 5, except Brit...

Here my review...

Gucci Pour Homme  rclxm9.gif
What a brilliant composition of a fragrance! While I am a perfume snob and say Guerlain, Cartier, Dior and Chanel are probably the best perfume makers world-wide, I must admit Gucci did a great job appointing Michel Almairac for the job of creating the first male perfumo di Gucci. I love the heavy catholic/ gothic aura of the scent as it evokes early childhood memories of church for me: the smell of incense, the old wooden benches, candles, the dark and somewhat mouldy character of a church's smell is glamorously captured and beautified in this scent. There are leathers and pepper corns and vanilla as well. A great evening perfume of the year. Classic
Gucci Envy  thumbup.gif
Wonderful! It starts with Peppery Spices and Orange, enhanced with Cardamom. The Citrus does not play a key role in the opening, it is a supporting note only.When the heart starts to emerge within 5 minutes, a Jasmine and Carnation floral accord join in with Sandalwood and Nutmeg. In the background of the heart is a sharp, but not too sharp, Anise note. The Anise meets with the Amber in the base, adding to the sharp but sweet-ish note. This sweet-tart accord is strong but mostly stays in the background and mixes well in the spicy floral.The dry down has a slowly mellowing Anise-Amber accord joined with Patchouli, Vanilla, and Incense. The Tobacco note in the base is very well mixed in, and just barely noticeable to me.The real beauty of this one, to me, is the sillage during the dry down. It's smooth and warm but slightly spicy and sharp at the same time. It's classy but not too classy to wear casual. Dressed-up casual.. not blue jeans casual. Longevity is average, sillage is average. If over-applied, the Anise-Amber may get too strong during the dry down, so it's best to go easy on it to keep it smooth.
Burberry London  rclxms.gif
Wow! Now this is a WONDERFUL scent. It's so luxurious. It's smooth. Very smooth. Think George Clooney smooth in Ocean's Eleven. Brad Pitt wouldn't wear this. He wouldn't pull it off kinda thing. You know? It doesn't scream. It's not loud. It swoons. It ain't Smokey Robinson. It ain't Frank Sinatra. It's Barry White. The leather, the tobacco oh god. The real differentiator here is the oakmoss, oppomax and mimose. It's smooth yet there's no chocolate, coffee or any vanilla. They would've ruined the scent. It's manly smooth. It's calm. It's in no rush. It's rich in aroma.
It doesn't say look at me, i'm rich and i'm a business kingpin. It's says hello, how was your day. It's not a classic smell. It's modern yet classy smelling. Definetly night time wear. Definetly evening perfume. ... well I guess it can be worn during the day...Problem for is longevity. But probably my favorite smell. A masterpiece.

nice googling and copypasta skills. works for your assignments but not here. jonny can make lots of reviews because he really does own those perfumes, and he dosent need to copy paste. you aint impressing anyone, yo

smoker scents are usually woody or spicy. Dunhil would be a "smoker" scent in a way

hey guys,

before any of you complain about the price of ori perfumes and decide to settle for the cheaper similar smelling ones, here's a vid i'd thought i'd share with you as a few ppl have previously pmed me that they're getting fake perfume coz they cant afford the real thing:

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/ConsumerNews/cou...tory?id=9670448

paying rm25 isnt worth the risk....better save up for the real deal

(ps: i'm not paid by the perfume companies to say this)

Will do. Don't think I've tried One before, but then again, "blue" fragrances all smell alike to me generally. Olfactory senses not fine tuned enough yet. Tried Free though, quite okay with it but I don't think I'm willing to pay retail for it. Just not worth the price IMO.

YSLs are hard to come by. That's the price of exclusivity, I guess.
*
nope YSL frags are quite common. go to the KLCC/Pavilion counters

for their complete range, do visit Sogo. they have all the testers there
