same way i use the others - spritz on the chest, and on a wrist.

this combination works for me, and might not necessarily apply for others.

Are you sure that 100ml is selling only at RM20?
I think you better check if it's authentic, cause I think reject/imitation also selling way more expensive than RM20. Lol

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.

Tried XS today..Smells different but kinda nice..Need to try again next time..

But the SA at Tangs doesnt look friendly to me..Maybe lazy or she thinks I'm some cheapo guy or something..

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...I din manage to try Black coz the SA said that its much stronger..So I thought ok lo, its just stronger version of XS..

Maybe its just my luck to encounter not so friendly SA? Haha

I havent got the chance to try out XS,
But on wednesday I went to pavillion with my friends and tried Black XS,
the smell is kinda nice actually. You'll get some strawberry notes in it, which I think i'll go for a 50ml for my own use sooner or later.

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.

So that means I can conclude that the SA I encountered wasnt good at all? Haha..

Anyway I also tried Diesel Only The Brave last night..Like the design..The perfume's ok la.But I still have many more to try..

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.

wait till you see azzaro twin's bottle. it looks like a vibrator. but the scent is very similar to black xs and 1million.

i'm currently using Armani Black Code. thinking of buying another perfume. wanna ask u guys, which one's better, Polo Black or Polo Double Black. or should i buy Polo Blue instead?

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.

other than armani black code, i've used acqua di gio, armani mania, davidoff coolwater (her), jpg le male, dunhill desire, polo sport, and ck be.

most of them have a few ml left.... i'm keeping them just to remind me of their smell

ok, so the double black is out of the question... which one do u like best:

polo black or polo blue?

I'll choose polo black over polo blue anytime. All depends on your nose though.

I've been using Emporio Armani He for a long time, thinking of changing, but i really love the scent.

Any recommendation for a perfume that smells similiar but is different?

using burberry and armani, love the smell
stil love my allure-channel

Hey Jonny & Joey.... i would up here as well. LoL!

I have not tried some in the list. I'll do my best.

Burberry Touch - Floral dominant with prominent notes of Violet and Tonka Bean. Similar to Lanvin Arpege Pour Homme which I prefer.

Calvin Klein Eternity Summer (2005 Version) - The best version so far. Can u still get this ?

212 - A good fresh fragrance that smells very green. Stays fresh throughout and doesn't go sour like some fresh frags. Very long lasting with good sillage. I really like the grapefruit note in this.

Cartier Declaration Essence - Very similar to the regular Declaration but with added citrus and Cumin. As i find the regular Declaration too spicy because of the cumin, this one I can't stand.

Dunhill Dunhill - Has a very dominant tonka bean base that makes it slightly sweet and powdery. I sold this off after wearing it thrice. Gave me headaches. But smells very classy though. Decent longevity, average sillage.

Hugo Boss Selection - Like all Hugo Boss frags, this one is average and safe. Fresh and clean smelling, perfect for the office.

Issey Miyake L’eau D’Issey Pour Homme - Starts off quite nice with good use of citrus and calone but an hour later it gets all floral and I don't fancy this part much. Seems to appeal to a lot of people so u might like this.

Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur Du Male - Smells terrible because of the extreme florals used. One of the most feminine smelling frags marketed to men I have ever smelled.

Mont Blanc Starwalker - In the same vein as Hugo Boss. Average generic slightly sweet/fresh/woody. A lot of better frags out there.

Polo Ralph Lauren Blue - Starts off quite fresh but becomes sour after about 2 hours. I'm not sure how I managed to finish 2 bottles of Polo Blue when I was a teenager.

Zino Davidoff/Goodlife - If u know where I can test/buy either do let me know as I'm quite interested in both.

Hope this helps
