Lol the last point is so valid. If my wife complains, means she is clear of covid19 as well

What were some of her funny or strong reactions so far?:s13:

I got "strong weird chemical smell" when I wore L'eau Majeure D'Issey and "vomit" when I wore Mugler's Ice*Men (must have been the patchouli?)

She practically hates everything in my collection, especially oriental scents. To her it smells like a temple. She is only ok with one scent, Mendittorosa. :s22:

The strong chemical or vomit smell could be the interaction with your skin?

Most freshie on my skin drys down to a sweaty armpit smell lol

Hell guys,

with this whole Covid situation going on, where is a good place to buy fragrances online? Not that I have a lot of chance to use it... But getting ready for the day to be able to go out and about again!

I finally caved and gave FragranceX.com a try.
Ordered on 15 Apr, supposedly reached Singapore on 19 Apr but still processing at origin hub currently.
WFH now actually means I get to wear and try more fragrances than usual :s13:

Seems like iris has been dropped in the 2020 version, making it a citrus woody fragrance...

Dior Homme (2005)
Top notes: lavender, sage, bergamot
Middle notes: iris, amber, cacao, cardamom
Base notes: patchouli, leather, vetiver

Dior Homme (2020)
Top notes: bergamot, pink pepper, elemi
Middle notes: patchouli, cedar, cashmere wood
Base notes: white musk, vetiver, Ios E Super

I'm not drawn to the iris note but it is (was?) the signature note of the Dior Homme line. The 2020 reformulation seems to have been market researched until safe; they should have just called it by another name...

unfortunately SG will only have the new dior homme EDT which doesnt have the iris, no new dior homme intense or parfum which has the iris.
