I've tried White Moss and i find it a very classy, soft and low profile frag. The oakmoss there is supplemented with hints of cedarwood.

hmm you did your research. Commes de gracons and rochas are not available in msia. so you can only get it online.

Hi sir, thanks for your reply.

Yes i find that White Moss is classy but it doesn't last. I got it during a sale at Acca Kappa, One Utama.

As for CDG and Rochas, I got them whilst I was in Tokyo and Paris respectively. Though I have owned Rochas for years, I am still trying to get used to it.

Btw, I was being informed that there is a shop located in one of the buildings in KL carries a range of CDG perfumes but the price is a minus.

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  biggrin.gif
Thank you sir for your effort. It is very much appreciated.

I agree with you that the JPG is very much feminine amongst. I actually got it as a gift. I will only use it sparingly, but only when I was in my 3-piece suit.

Zino Davidoff Goodlife is my very first perfume, got it like ages ago. One of my fav but too bad has been discontinued. I only left with about 10%.

CK Eternity Summer 2005 is a gift as well. I have compared it with others CK Summer and you are right, this is the best among the all. Still left with about 75%.

Mont Blanc Starwalker is the only perfume that I am trying to finish up. Still left with about 5%. It took me more than 2 years to do so for a 75ml bottle. You might think that I like it so much but as a matter of fact, I dislike it. I just want to finish it and throw away the bottle.

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

Yea i know the feeling when u have a bottle of cologne u don't like but need to finish. This ones take the longest to finish biggrin.gif
Zino Davidoff and Goodlife are both still in production actually. Its just that the importers here don't bring any in. You should be able to locate a bottle in Europe, although not as easily as Cool Water.

ck free is very ordinary and will not make an impression on anyone. its fresh,sweet and a little woody like the majority of men fragrances out there. 212 would be a better choice as the longevity and sillage is twice better than ck free.

how much did DKNY pay u to advertise their perfume?

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

I've just started working @ perfume store.
When i'm working, i'll get to test perfumes whenever I want to.

To me Ck free is really odinary like what jonny4 mentioned, the smell isnt bad. But it is just common perfumes like other brand have in range. But yeah, quite alot of my friends like Ck free and I dont think it's bad having one bottle for yourself.

If you were to compare Ck free with 212, i've no idea about this because I've not try the smell of 212 men. I'll do so and tell you more about the fragrance. smile.gif

I uses calvin Klein Euphoria and One.

Euphoria is for work while One is for casual. Ocassionally, i uses Hugo Boss XY or Ferrari for dinners or lunch appointments, cause these two aren't durable for me.

Hi guys!

Just finished reading the thread from the very beginning sweat.gif

No one has ever mentioned this brand before (I think). Any opinions on Vera Wang for Men?

Vera Wang for Men is actually quite good but doesn't last at all. The lack of longevity is a real downer for me.

Hey, saw Playboy perfumes in Guardian today.
Selling around 30 bucks per bottle.
It's 50ml one if I'm not wrong.
That series contains 4 different one.
Wondering why Playboy selling that cheap and
those perfumes is it kena reject one ?
The smell okay or not?
Boleh pakai?
Thanks. =))

I don't think it's rejected or defective perfume. It's all about the marketing and their targeted customers base. I have yet to smell Playboy perfumes because they look so tacky. You get what u pay for really. So don't expect Playboy perfumes to last the whole day. zYou won't smell very unique either as many guys would have bought one too.

You can easily get that info from a 1 second google search.

From Wikipedia,

"Perfume types reflect the concentration of aromatic compounds in a solvent, which in fine fragrance is typically ethanol or a mix of water and ethanol. Various sources differ considerably in the definitions of perfume types. The concentration by percent/volume of perfume oil is as follows:

* Perfume extract (Extrait): 15-40% (IFRA: typical 20%) aromatic compounds
* Eau de Parfum (EdP), Parfum de Toilette (PdT): 10-20% (typical ~15%) aromatic compounds. Sometimes listed as "eau de perfume" or "millésime".
* Eau de Toilette (EdT): 5-15% (typical ~10%) aromatic compounds
* Eau de Cologne (EdC): Chypre citrus type perfumes with 3-8% (typical ~5%) aromatic compounds
* Splash and After shave: 1-3% aromatic compounds"


The higher the concentration of aromatic compounds, the higher the price. Also, an EDP and EDT of the same perfume doesn't necessarily smell the same. Generally, EDP or Extrait concentrations are assumed to have better sillage and longevity. I have encountered many EDT strength frags that give EDPs a run for their money. Most men fragrances come in EDT concentrations but there are EDP versions too. Currently, Terre d'Hermes and Guerlain Homme are available in EDP concentrations.
