The Perfume Thread

[gascon7]

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)

Yea gotta sample A*men soon...been to Tangs and Robinson keep seeing those rubber bottles but the 2 I want to smell not there : Pure Havane and Ultra Zest. Funniest thing the one that last longest for me is my Secondary School fragrance: Burberry for Men. So basic but I smell like fresh kueh lapis.

Hey man, 1st post here.

Hope you don't mind me asking what batch did you get.

Need to go home and see the labels. That is if they even label them.

Tangs is out of aventus and they have no idea when will the stock come

Currently I'm waiting for Aventus perfume oil to come back into stock. Even EDP don't last in our humid weather. 6 hours in and you are at the base note already. Either it's the weather or I'm not using enough..

Did you try Escentials at Paragon level 3 ?

Someone said people with oily skin will not have good retention of the fragrance. That's my case for sure. Add on to humidity and its like spraying designer air freshener.

Never try paragon. I hate crowds especially orchard road crowds. Drive there have to pay erp and carpark but don't like to take public transport. After driving so many years I'll get motion sickness if u take cab. So decided to click click click online instead

I see. Btw, I'm currently using batch 15R01 and it's beast mode on me. My colleagues sometimes say my perfume is too strong. I guess got lucky it works on my skin.

Cheers! Happy New Year!

Maybe I'm not using enough. I spray Max 1x on my chest only. I scare people think I'm marinating in perfume instead of wearing it

Heres a pic of my batch number

Nice you got the 15X01. I mostly do two sprays, one on each back of my ears. Any more than that i will receive complaints. Yesterday our HR told me that i smell nice but it's too strong.

Daiso I think have a few types. Maybe Sephora.
I know people selling decants on Carousell. Aventus 5ml for 10-30 bucks.

Does anyone know sources to get zegna essenze testers from?
Have seen them at $80 on carousell.

Almost all of them except the ambrette one and the new neroli one which i've yet to try are very impressive to me.

my favorite of the house is florentine iris but then I love iris

Do you know where to get atomizers with low evaporation rate?

I have been thinking of decanting many of my fragrances away but the best atomizers I have in mind are the daiso 5/12ml glass ones which are $2 each. I'm hoping to buy in bulk (100s and above) at $1-1.50 each.... with decent quality.

These daiso atomizers can be used to carry small quantities of fragrances around throughout the day to re-spray?

Thanks but always been turned off by the hefty shipping for bestbottles.... Even though costs run close to my target at $1.5 per atomiser... feels dumb paying for 60USD shipping...

Yes, simply spray into the atomiser to fill it up. Don't get pump types because they leak easily. Daiso $2 has yet to disappoint me thus far.

Any idea where i can test frags from Olfactive studios here? Saw somebody earlier in the train carrying an Olfactive paper bag.

Just look out for glass bottles with plastic external covers. either 5ml or 12ml. Not sure if it leaks because i never ever bring my atomisers out, heard positive feedback on it though. If it really leaks, wrap the screw-unscrew (i don't know the name for it) with teflon tape. Most perfume-enthusiasts do that when selling decants and shipping internationally.

Something like this.
