So where did u copy your "review" from ?

Do u know why i'm asking u this ? because u don't own any of the 3 but u seem to be able to give such an in depth reviews. Come on dude...who do u want to impress ? plagiarism sucks. Anyways if u can give me such an in depth review then y do u even bother wasting my time to type out a review.

I hate this kind of crap.

Edit:
Dude,

I found your "review" of Gucci Pour Homme here, http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Gucci/G...-Homme-691.html under user name originaldeftom, review submitted on 5/1/2009

This is your "review" of Gucci Envy http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Gucci/E...or-Men-688.html, by knightz, submitted on 18/9/08

Your "review" of Burberry London, http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Burberr...or-Men-804.html, by LaPD, submitted on 24/9/09.

It so bloody obvious lah that u just copied other ppl's review. After reading one line from your sentence and i cam smell the BS. What annoys me is that u even ask me for a god damm review and then u just copy and paste something from fragrantica and claim it as your own. I read a lot of fragrance reviews daily so I know when someone is bullshitting or not.

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.

I have not tried Ed Hardy perfumes nor have I seen them around. I think the Ed Hardy boutique in KLCC has the fragrance range.

Hi guise. Any of you using Giorgio Armani's Attitude? The saleslady told me its pretty strong, so how many sprays (and where) would you guys reckon? Sprayed once on my chest before hitting the gym (weights, so minimal sweating) as a test run, and i could smell myself throughout. I was told as a general rule of thumb, if you can smell your perfume, its prolly too much. Ideas?

Hey man,

I have tried Attitude a few times but I don't own a bottle and i doubt i ever will because Armani colognes are known to be quite weak and short lasting. Most sales people at the counters will always claim that any cologne they are selling is strong and long lasting. Attitude IMO is average in terms of strength and longevity. The reason why you could smell Attitude throughout you workout session is because, 1) The smell of Attitude is new to you and 2) colognes are activated by moisture and body heat.

I normally apply 4-5 sprays of my cologne to my neck and chest and yes most of the time I can smell myself but no one ever complained it was too strong. Even if u can smell your perfume that doesn't mean everyone else can. Using 1-2 sprays I find that rather old fashioned. I mean if u are spend a couple of hundred bucks on a cologne, won't u want other people to smell it too ? The natural progression of a cologne's notes will mean that the fragrance will evolve and most of the time settle down after an hour or so. So my advice is if u want to use one or 2 sprays, don't bother applying cologne...no one will smell you unless they come close for a hug and that doesn't really happen in our Asian society. The world is filled with so many smells and fragrances from other people. I highly doubt 1 or 2 sprays will be enough. But this is just my take because there is no "rule of thumb" on how much and where to spray cologne. Others may agree or disagree with me but in the end it all boils down to what u r comfortable with. Similar to the boxers vs briefs debate LOL.

Thanks for the input man, good read.

I've been an Adidas user (don't shoot me), and i've had people mention that its pretty strong. 3 sprays, mainly to the chest. Then again, its high school, people tend to shoot down every single detail rolleyes.gif

Anyway, indeed the scent doesn't last that long. I feel shortchanged sad.gif How about Burberry Brit or Sean John's I Am King? Initially the Burberry scent turned me off, but after it settled (salesman sprayed on my arm instead of those tabs they usually use) I find that it smells awesome. Would it be more lasting than Attitude? I Am King seems pretty new, almost every shop/booth/stall I visit stocks them. Oh and who could forget CK Free? Practically had that shoved in my face at every counter. laugh.gif Took advice from you guys' earlier posts, didn't get that one.

Welcome

Burberry Brit and I am King are also short lasting perfumes. CK Free is even worse. Attitude should be longer lasting than all 3. CK Free would suit teenagers more I guess but due to its pleasant boring smell a lot of guys regardless of age would be wearing Free. So don't be surprised if u smell CK Free on your dad LOL. Most guys in msia like citrus, fresh, aquatic and light colognes. Problems is those kind of colognes are not very long lasting. If u want something that is strong and long lasting u got to look for sweet, oriental or woody colognes. As many in msia wear those kind,u will be guaranteed to smell unique.

Examples of really long lasting perfumes are YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme, JPG Le Male, Thierry Mugler A*Men and YSL Kouros. They may not appeal to everyone but they are well made.

Usually I'll hit my abdomen once because most sprayers tend not to disperse the normal full amount because they have not been used in a while. So after I get the sprayer working normally I will spray my chest twice (mid n upper chest level) and I finish off with 2 sprays to my neck (1 spray to each side of neck). If its a cologne I have been using normally then I'll use 4 sprays and skip the abdomen shot.

Like I said in another post, there is no standard way to apply perfume. If u want people close to u and youself to smell the cologne then spray to places covered by clothing (chest and abdomen for example). If u want to fill up the whole room with your cologne then spray to uncovered areas of the body (neck, wrists, arms). All depends on you and the impression you want to give. I do recommend spraying both covered and uncovered parts of the body to maximize longevity and sillage.

Should not be a prob. Depends on how you carry yourself too. If u r more mature than your peers than Envy would be alright.

Nah, my dad's a typical Cina man, didn't bother telling him how much my Attitude costs or he'll start grumbling. I'll check the ones you mentioned out; standing out is definitely what i'm looking towards. smile.gif

Oh btw, do you get the larger (75-100 ml) bottle or the smaller (usually 50 ml) bottles? My mom said get the smaller bottle; less goes to waste via evaporation.

I hope my suggestions were of use haha.

I usually go for the smallest possible sizes, usually 30ml or 50ml but 80% of my collection is made up of 50ml size bottles. My collection is quite big so smaller sizes saves space haha. If u have a collection more than 10 bottles than get smaller sizes. but if u going to use the same cologne everyday then 100ml represents more value for money. Usually the 100ml sizes come with better free gifts. Also the size u get depends on how much u apply (no of sprays). If u r a small sprayer then a 100ml will take years to finish.

Hi guys, I went out for shopping today and tested Burberry Brit, Burberry The Beat and Versace Blue Jeans. Out of those 3 i liked the VBJ's smell the most, both the burberry fragrances smell like too "heavy" for me. So guys what is ur comment about Versace Blue Jeans? Isit suitable for a 18 year old guy? biggrin.gif
