This one is really really oversize I am getting it just for collection. Don’t think I will wear it.

If you are already wearing XS and plan to get wear this, I will not recommend it.

I haven't posted any haul since the beginning of this year, mainly because my personal laptop has been giving me a lot of issues (well, what do you expect from a 6-year old Sony Vaio) and I have been extremely busy (who said working from home is fun??). Since today is Easter Sunday, please allow me to sort and post some insignificance.

An order that I placed end of last year and arrived in Jan 2021, a couple of limited edition Cire Trudon candles that have been sold out.





It was a shame that a free sample decided to leak. Luckily it only smeared the outer box:



A collaboration with an Italian designer Giambattista Valli. On the left, Rose Poivree and Positano on the right:












I have owned and sampled quite a few candle brands, including those by Diptyque, FdB, APC, and Cire Trudon perhaps is the only candle that I won't mind paying at retail.

Have a safe and blessed Easter.

A pre-CNY small haul from fredperry.com, it only took 3 days to arrive from UK by UPS:



Graphic tee in red G8130 for HM and Miles Kane polo-T in deep marine SM5156 for me:

This is the consequence when you mingle with the wrong crowd - never ending group purchase:

One from ssense and another one from endclothing:

If you have nothing to do, just stay at home.

Window shopping is not a healthy exercise.



I came across these and have to bring them home:



This has my princess' name on it; it is a no brainer:



I didn't expect these to be available here, I mean how are they going to compete with the overly popular L'occitane in Malaysia:




"Savon liquide de Marseille" doesn't refer to a specific brand. If you google it, the result will return with a few soap makers as all these soap makers are so proud to be producing soap in Marseille that they don't need their brand names to be the selling point. The soaps that I procured were produced by this company called Compagnie de Provence.

Marseille is a port city in southern France, the largest city in Provence region and second largest city in France. This Provence region has been famous for soap making in the last 600 years. L'occitane, or in full, L'occitane en Provence is a more well-known soap maker in Malaysia, originally from this region.

After working from home for the longest time, I officially returned to office early this week.

And found this on my desk:









I hope I will receive it on a regular basis.

Thanks Mr Porter!

I have a small contribution during an online marketplace's birthday celebration.

These two were from Aesop Malaysia:



Very nice packaging. Just look at the choice of packing materials with their own shipping boxes. This, is professional. And also set them apart from others.











A few bottles of mouthwash, hand sanitizers, facial cleanser and post-poo drop:



Ken's Apothecary used to be the sole distributor for Aesop before this Australian brand decided to stand on its own more than 10 years ago. However, should Ken's were still the distributor for Aesop, I don't think they can ever match Aesop Malaysia's standards. The packaging by Ken's is just plain horrible.

This was my first online purchase from Ken's:

Ken's Apothecary should learn from Aesop Malaysia.

I received an email from Nose Paris that all Creed perfumes will have a price increase starting 1 April. I decided to get a bottle of 100ml Aventus since it was at a good price after the VAT deduction. It happened to be my first perfume purchase for this year.

The box was huge I need to unbox it in my car and discard it so that I could smuggle it into my house:





Came with generous amount of sample vials:







Batch year 2020:



Comparing to the 120ml vintage bottle on the right:

Some of you may aware that I am hunting for Creeds in discontinued bottles, and the discontinued bottles don't only limit to the 120ml, but also 75ml.

And it happened that during the recent Ken's warehouse sales, I was told that some 75ml Creeds had mystically appeared. With the kind assistance of a fellow fragrance collector, I managed to secure a bottle of Erolfa in 75ml bottle:





Batch year 2016:



My fragrance purchase so far this year:



A family photo with the rest of Creeds:



One down, a few more to go......

If you mix with the wrong group, your wallet will bleed (I did say so, didn't I?).

Thanks to a friend who alerted me that Jo Malone was on sales at the international airport and helped me procuring these two when he was on business trip to the East Malaysia.



Always come in a premium packaging:



On the right, Lime Basil and Mandarin for my daughter and in the middle, Wood Sage and Sea Salt for HM. The one on the left, Vetyver, is mine, procured long time ago at the Survarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok:

Officially my first posting with my newly acquired Vaio SX12.

Another perfume unboxing, this round was from the house of Amouage.

A friend helped me to get this during the most recent Valiram warehouse sales, and I rushed to his place after work.

The Amouage Interlude Black Iris. Photo taken whilst I was still at his place:





Retail at RM1,105, still available at the boutique in Pavilion:



With the hologram seal:







My current line-up from this house, from left to right - Lyric, Interlude Black Iris, Reflection and Memoir:

yehlai I got it at 25% discount

Wishing all the Moslem brothers and sisters Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

A hat-trick, these three packages arrived almost at the same time:



Only these were mine:






Clockwise from top left: mahogany/amber/nautical blue (discontinued), petrol dreams/daffodil/navy (past season, almost discontinued), tipped sleeves jumper (past season, almost discontinued) and aubergine/rain/willow (current season):





The best find is the tipped sleeves jumper, with striped details in white and yellow gold, 55% wool 45% cotton:

A parcel from Strawberrynet Hong Kong, they were getting more efficient now for the waiting time was getting shorter:








Stocking up on the Marvis. I used to brush minimum 3 times per day when working from office but working from home has driven me to brush even more frequent, at least 4 to 5 times per day. The perfume is for my little sister:





There were quite a number of parcels arrived in the month of May, will slowly reveal them.

This parcel came all the way from the States:





I was so fortunate to add another 120ml Creed into my collection. It was really a rare find nowadays as Creed has discontinued all 120ml and 75ml bottles, replacing by 100ml and 50ml:



On the right, Creed Silver Mountain Water and Versace Blue Jeans on the left. The Blue Jeans reminded me of my younger days it was so popular back then. Ladies will normally get a Red Jeans::



Batch 16K01:



Joining the rest of the Creed:

Hi, it took around 3 weeks to arrive.

As long as the total value is below RM500 it should be quite safe to assume that it will not be taxed. I only been taxed once so far as the value exceeded RM800.

My another parcel from fragrancex, hopefully my last fragrance for this year. Yeah, I know right, it was still too early to say so.





A bottle of Creed Original Santal in 120 ml vintage bottle:





Bach 16J01:



Two bottles that I acquired for this year:



Joining the rest of Creeds:



Another one down, a few more to go.
