Often I see a lot of EDT on the shelves but seldom do I see EDP. Am I missing something or is there indeed lesser EDP variants?

I feel that my EDT does not last long enough so want to try something stronger. Any recommendations?

not alot of EDP choices designer-wise for scents marketed to guys compared to niche/indie brands
please be aware that EDP might not necessary last longer or project more that EDT although it contains higher perfume concentration

alot of designers are diluting their original frags then producing intense versions

Sample vials of GIT, Silver Mountain and Royal Mayfair

Product cost + shipping to USA forwarder - US$520
Forwarder to SG via DHL - US$85.44
GST - S$86.15

There were reviews of inconsistency across batches of Aventus that's why I bought them from US direct.

Review please :)
Whether it's a long lasting scent and also compare with those vials as well.
Merry Xmas everyone!

Escentials at Paragon level 3 has Aventus tester.

The tester that I haven't managed to find is the Green Irish Tweed. Anyone knows where?

Think Tangs had it. Tangs has Creed, Acqua di Parma and Tom Ford testers for the most part. There's a Fragrance du Bois in Fullerton which has Parfums de Marly. Not sure if they have the highly rated Herrod.

Performance and Sillage

Would there be any recommendation for long lasting (ideal whole work day) and great sillage for hot weather? Majority of designers fragrances are so weak these days. I know they want everyone to buy the shower gels or shaving to ensure the performance keeps up but are there any monster fragrances?

For hot weathers, those with citrus smell would be nice.

Buy Eau De Parfum.

No fragrance will last you the whole day, esp in our hot and humid climate the fragrances have an even shorter life span

Best bet is to get an atomiser to refresh yourself throughout the day, esp after you've walking around outdoors into an aircon environment.

Designer-wise, u might want to try some like A*Men, Invictus, 1 Million, Chrome, Kouros and other older style powerhouse scents (though mostly have been watered down/reformulated but they remain pretty strong)
