Currently in my inventory :

- Paco Rabanne Ultra Violet (3 1/2*)
- Paco Rabanne Black XS (4*) thumbup.gif
- Polo Explorer (3 1/2*)
- CD The One (4*) thumbup.gif
- CK Euphoria (2*) sweat.gif
- EA Diamond (3 1/2*)
- Kenzo Tokyo (3*)
- Boss Selection (4*) thumbup.gif
- Beckham Signature (3*)
- Gucci For Men (4*) thumbup.gif

Upcoming :

- 212 Men
- Dunhill Black

From my past experience CK always not long lasting one.. From CK summer to euphoria, all is disappointment. Paco Rabanne quite last for a long time, but the scent almost the same on different model. But it's ok with me tongue.gif .

Alright imma going to hit the button and get YSL La Nuit, YSL Body Kouros, Armani Code. Picked the three from a shortlist drawn which included M7, Terre d Hermes, Unforgivable, A*Men, Dior Homme, Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme, Rochasman

I've tested most of the fragrances above..

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme - instantly reminds me of really nice smelling flowers.. bit like orchid yawn.gif (although I think I picked up the woman version instead)
M7, Terre d Hermes - probably more suited for mature audience.
A*Men - smells like candy biggrin.gif, same category as rochasman and body kouros I believe
Armani code - sprayed a bit on and cant take my mind off it biggrin.gif
La Nuit - The saleslady introduced this and I like the smell too
Dior Homme - left a bit of vanilla like flavor when it dries.. In the end it was between this vs La Nui vs Code..   took me a long time to discard this =/

Any comment on my selection? Maybe they are too similar but im not sure I am ready for the more mature smell yet.
*PS: Im only a newb so my analysis lacked depth XD Go easy on me
*
A*Men - Smell little bit hard on the first note and too strong maybe like tar smell, after it's settle down u will get sweet chocolate smell of it and that really nice drool.gif . Stick on my skin 8+ hour.

I'm still looking for rochas man, but i think the first note is not the same since a*men will give a heck of smell on the first once. Really recommended if you take it easy on the first note tongue.gif . Maybe u can try new harlem by bond no 9 also biggrin.gif , smell gr8. If you don't like the tar note on a*men maybe u can try the other like pure coffee and pure malt (have a gr8 review on it).

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme - Just recently blind buy this blush.gif . Quite good smell, citrus floral maybe? I dunno, but it's quite good and soft.

For others i cant give any comment but I've smell Armani code before, i can't take the smell sad.gif . YSL L'homme also quite nice.. For hermes never come to mind to buy one lol. Maybe it's for mature audience, since lotsa mature ppl wearing it.

guys.. the perfume heaven at sg is at Mustaffa Store right?

mind to share where is it? thanks/ smile.gif
*
mustaffa center i think near geylang, since after go around always see geylang biggrin.gif . anyway the perfume there not so cheap but if you want a bottle at 3am in the morning, that should be the place to go. they now have 2 section of perfume. the old one (near shampoo and other toiletries) and the new one locate at new building near the entrance, and the new section they have promoter to promote their perfume.

example the gucci by gucci they sell around $98 bucks. and for bargain look at 1 section they have perfume below $20 (benetton, fcuk, versace etc)

Not the whole mall sells perfume but quite a huge section of it. The mall sells a lot of stuff from gadgets to clothing to meds and even perfume.

Hey guys, what would you recommend for day wear (eg. to work) smile.gif
*
for work i would suggest the cheapy one, save cost (dunhill blue/red/azzaro chrome etc) tongue.gif . save the expensive one for special occasion. smile.gif

hye jonny.. after searching for couples of month, manage to find EN at my hometown sweat.gif

but just the miniature.. miniature and the big bottle is the same right in terms of the smell and sillage ?

the smell is quite nice actually and draws compliment too.. but not all people like it sweat.gif

i have tried PS Story too.. its nice and i would like to give it a shot BUT when i try the frags at 2 diff shops, the smell is diff.. is it normal ? at one shop the smell is like vetiver dominant and at the other shop the smell is citrussy with vetiver at background hmm.gif

between dior fahrenheit and fahrenheit 32, which one is more nicer ?
*
personally i would suggest the original fahrenheit (on me it last a day after showering still smell like it), the 32 smell kinda women to men blush.gif ..

@jonny4
i have tried PS Story at another shop yerterday.. the smell is citrussy.. i guess its true what u said.. the tester maybe was exposed and the smell degraded.. i tested it on the paper only..

@mrbs84
nice.. if that the case add fahrenheit to my list smile.gif
*
ok noted.. thanx for ur support notworthy.gif ..

p/s - like me, if i wanna buy a perfume tht i like, better sprayed it on hand than scent strip coz u can smell top, middle n base note. let it linger around ur hand until u think it's ok then come back to shop and buy biggrin.gif . in a scent strip just a top note usually u will smell + paper scent. and some perfume is smell good on paper than on skin. so u just need to try. exp: a*men on scent strip is a no no for those who dunno abt it, but on skin is a different story.

for PS Story i tried it last week, not my cup of tea. maybe need some time to like it lol.. and it's on bargain bin already.. blink.gif

@swissdec

From the list above if u want fresh scent maybe the Gucci pour homme 2, dunhill black just IMO.. maybe can add up explorer.

for the paco rabbane it's sweet fragrance not so refreshing. other im not familiar with.

depend on what perfume u use..

for not so projecting smell i usually spray 3-4 time (1 chest, 1 neck and one of each arm)

for really projecting scent like a*men i just spray it 2-3 only (1 chest, 1 neck and one arm then dab on)

I just bought an Adidas Team Force perfume yesterday.

The smell, is quite nice actually, but not the type I wanted.

I want elegant/luxurious type, like those that make girls feel nice around you..
*
not familiar with adidas frag, i think have 1 model have a gr8 review, not sure which ones. the blue bottle one i guess.

for elegant type maybe u want for casual i guess.

for me elegant scent on casual occasion will be chanel allure homme sport.

my other list for casual:
- Fahrenheit
- TM Ice*Men
- Chanel Allure

last week I've been testing 4 cologne.. here are my first impression:

- Prada Amber Pour Homme (Smell similar to lolita lempickha au musculin, powdery)
- Escada Magnetism (Opening smell like coca cola i guess)
- Kenzo Power (Smell like something associate with washing liquid, citrusy sweet)
- L'Eau D'Issey Intense (Not similar with the original, have leathery smell)

None of the above is on my buy list.. Too bad lol..

Tried Drakkar Noir by Guy Laroche the other day, the opening smelled like something you'd get from a dispenser in a public toilet. I'm not saying its not good, it's must've been something in its day for everything scented to smell like it. :S

Anyone here using Paco Black XS? The opening is super cloying to me, but the drydown is super nice. I'm not sure how to put it in words, but if anyone knows of any other perfumes with a similar scent, i'm all ears. smile.gif
*
drakkar noir is a classic.. maybe that smells awesome on that years lol..

yeah i'm using black xs (in the past), i think it's depend on how u spray and the weather to make it not so cloying.. i'm not yet encounter something similar to this black xs smells.. synthetic strawberry.. Still looking for other alternative.. unsure.gif ..
