Welcome. My pleasure to help u out. If u can't find M7 let me know. I know someone that can get M7.

Ya...will let u know once i get it.....what i know in mostly perfume review...M7 more sweet then Gucci Pour Homme..both of of colognes are strong type...


" I think of M7 as a Gucci Pour Homme (GPH) lite with some sugar on top. It's sweet and spicy. Although it's not as woody or spicy as GPH, another Ford masterpiece, it is fairly potent. It's also sweeter than its Gucci cousin. However, I find M7 more versatile and less formal than GPH. Easy on the trigger though buddy, you'll likely choke someone to death if you spray too much. Awesome fragrance. Not to mention it's my favorite YSL"


Added on December 13, 2009, 9:45 amHi Bestfriend,
Just wan share with u on Boss#6 coz previously i had it. While I agree that this is a "heavy sweet" scent, its quite nice. Warm vanilla is just so...mmmmm yumm! I know a lot of ladies like vanilla scents on guys so this sould be a hit. Lasts long but I can't smell the woody notes coz it low woody note...a good thing IMO..

i'm feel so close with u when reading your comment regarding all perfumes that u know..ur information was so useful and make people here clear what they need to choose..
btw, i'm planning to get another bottle of perfumes instead of having D&G the one that bought last week..
can u give some information about these 3 perfumes:

1. bvlgari black
2. ck crave
3. hugo boss #6

which one better arr?

thanks a lot....

Good to hear man.

Bulgari Black - Basically this smells like rubber tires and vanilla. It may sound weird but trust me this one is very good and can be worn by both men and women. I enjoy wearing BB during the slightly cooler evenings. Sillage and longevity is quite good but doesn't offend or overpower other people. It's getting rare in Malaysia as not many people know about or buy BB. However it's quite pricey, retails for RM275 (75ml) but there is a 40ml size that is only available at Tangs@Pavilion and retails for RM220.

ck Crave - Discontunued about 4-5 years ago. I still havea small amount in my bottle biggrin.gif
I used to really like Crave but as I got older and discovered more frags, I realized that there are plenty more frags that are much better than Crave. However I still like Crave, most probably because of the memories associated with it.

Hugo Boss #6 - I tend to stay away from Hugo Boss frags because they tend to smell very plain and ordinary. Their names also are so confusing. Maybe I have tried #6 before but it never left any impression. I think I'll give it a try when I go out later. The reviews on this site my help http://www.basenotes.net/ID26120240.html

So from my ramblings you can deduce that I hold Bulgari Black in high regard. As for which one is better, only u can decide that as u will be wearing it. IMHO, Bulagri Black would be the pick of the bunch for me.

Yeah it happens. If that bothers you then u can just spray the chest and wrists.

Because spraying on the leg cannot really project well, people's nose are far away from your legs and bottoms.
Best choice is still to spray on the chest, wrist and neck. These are the hot spots so far. smile.gif

Actually they do. Behind the knees is a favourite spot for some ladies as it's somewhat warmer n moist behind the knees and it helps in diffusing the scent. This only works well if you are wearing a skirt or shorts, that's why spraying behind the knees is not favoured by men. The bottom is not a good place. Only dogs smell people in those place.

Hey fellow perfume/cologne fans,

I would like to highlight something regarding gift sets. A few days ago I stopped by Tangs@Pavilion and chanced upon a Thierry Mugler A*Men gift set reatailing for RM150. A regular 50ml bottle of A*Men retails for RM194 so the gift set was almost a bargain. The set contains a 50ml EDT (rubber flask), 50ml shower gel and a 50ml aftershave/moisturizer. When i got home I noticed that the normally blue colour of A*Men EDT's contents was instead dark green (similar to Bulgari Aqua bottle). I posted this fact of mine on a fragrance forum and was told that the change in colour was most probably caused by exposure to light or aging of the dyes/colouring used. On the gift set box, the manufactured date was listed as December 2008.

Feeling very unsatisfied I called Luxasia and spoke to the brand manager in charge and she agreed to replace my discoloured A*Men. I was told that this kind of discolouration sometimes happens. So I went back to Tangs and managed to get it replaced. The SAs there needed a lot of convincing but in the end it was settled. Even though there was no difference in smell between the normal blue A*Men and my dark green A*Men, the colour change means that the perfume will not last as long as a new one. After examining the product code, I concluded that the dark green A*Men was in fact made in 2004/2005 instead of 2008.

So guys, be wary when u buy gift sets especially those that are heavily discounted. I suspect that gift sets are used to clear off old stock obtained from overseas markets. Always requests for a new gift set and not the one on display because no one knows how long it has been exposed to the store lights.

Btw, remember my old dark green A*Men....well the SA just took it and place it back into a normal box that used to house my current blue A*Men and taped it back, all ready to be sold to the next unsuspecting customer.

A*Men smells great by the way. Chocolate and coffee galore, it's becoming one of my favourite frags. It's very long lasting too and with 2-3 sprays it's powerful enough to attract attention due to its awesome sillage.

Cheers.

Very boring but will please almost everyone. D&G seems to have rushed this line out and it shows because they didn't seem to be designed properly. However the price is quite decent but there are many better fragrances out there.

I do quite like LE BATELEUR 1 and L'Imperatrice 3 though.

Haha yeah kind of during my crazier days of perfume testing and buying biggrin.gif

Nowadays pretty much of the newer designer releases smell alike. It's more like once u smell one u have smelled the rest. However, there are a lot more perfumes out there that are really unique. I feel that perfumes that don't smell so inviting at first spray/sniff usually have more character and depth compared to the ones that smell smell great initially but end up smelling very dull and boring 1-2 hours later. Do keep in mind that my above statement is a very rough and generalized one.

I own a bottle of Aqua and a small sample of Marine.

Marine to me smells less unique but fresher than the regular Aqua. In terms of the sillage and longevity, I still find regular Aqua to be better. But it doesn't mean Marine is a bad fragrance, I just prefer Aqua more. The freshness in Marine is a result of the added grapefruit note in the topnotes. In all Marine is just too generic smelling and not really worth the RM200+ for 50ml price. However the bottle, similar to Aqua's bottle is quite cool biggrin.gif

I'm not jonny5 yet man LOL

SMW is a great scent for hot weather because it is light and refreshing but has good longevity at the same time. It is not the most unique of scents but it is well blended so the note progression is like a well maintained BMW 5 Series. I bet if you like Silver Mountain Water, you would like other frags from Creed like Erolfa, Himalaya and Millesime Imperial. However the price tag puts me off as I have many fragrances in my collection that are good for hot weather so I don't think I'll ever buy a bottle. However if I do get a Creed it would be Original Vetiver.
