Sian.... my Fragonard stuck at VPOST USA because they say its dangerous goods. Last time can deliver, now say cannot liao.... but MYUS.com tells me they can do it... so confusing... technically I know the law says perfume cannot....

And Fragonard in Singapore only has 100ML one, at 100 plus... with that price i buy from US is 200ML haha.... cannot find alternatives sian...

If they ship direct, I will definitely get from them.

Mancera/Montale is just way too many, it would be great to have a complete set of miniatures for testing then all the big bottles of those I love.

Thank you for the recommendation, wasn't expecting to come across many with interest in attars and middle eastern style perfumes. I assume you have visit Sifr at Arab St? :D

my interest in attars was sparked after hearing some tales that such frags posses some unique qualities. Wonder if you have heard such similar tales？

Sifr is that perfumer at Arab street？yes visited before but not recently. how is his work now？

Managed to finally get my hands on some Raghba by Lattafa, it is straight up Cozy Vanilla with a hint of Oud. Great for rainy days or cold nights. Very good performance and sillage but just moderate projection.

Are they only available in Dubai?
Seems like they are mostly attars, but I love those crystal bottles that's shaped like a tank.

I haven't heard of anything about that. First got interested because of the relatively low price point available here, haven't visited Sifr for a long time.

What i know is that some attars leaves trails etc someone walked past you and then comes the scent after he/she has gone( maybe about 10m. wind direction plays a part too). But the legendary ones i heard has a scent trail that can be detected across a room of people without them noticing and the wearer just silently sits at the other corner of an enclosed room. i haven't come across anything like that yet but im hopeful to find out but who knows it can might just be a legend.:)

Maybe Amouage Attars have that kind of power given their price.
