Not yet but I like No.5 Premiere over the original tho

Wonder if any one tried the new Chanel No.5 Leau

Small batch producers like L'Artisan Perfumier and The Different Company are awesome too.
Different Company for those who like bergamot or vetiver notes.
L'Artisan for those who prefer slightly heavier, denser and more creative scents

SOTD - Voleur de Roses from L’Artisan Parfumeur.
A light but lasting honeyed rose. I get the plum but not the patchouli.

Which are the notes that you picked up that's nice?

 

[grizzly76]

The trademark aldehydes are there in the opening but the drydown is very light (modern?) and nondescript. I think still like No 5 Premiere better but that's just my own opinion

[hsiaowen]

Rose notes are a perennial favourite.
I personally enjoyed Sel de Vetiver, cos I like the ocean-inspired, marine-esque on-vacation feel.

Not sure about Vetiver, but found this review on one of the latest scents from Guerlain: Guerlain mon Guerlain. And also this: Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria
Has notes of coriander and ginger, wears to a sweet vanilla musk, according to the write-up:

In case you're looking, there's also mentions of Issey Miyake, Bulgari and Kenzo

any reviews on GUERLAIN Vetiver Eau De Toilette ?

Picked up my original bottle of Guerlain Vetiver at Mustafa (consistently available there) and another tester for a great price at the Luxasia warehouse sale

Was the luxasia warehouse sale recent? Would really hate to have missed it!

 

[grizzly76]

The one I attended was in Aug 2016. The two more recent ones were in Dec 2016 & Mar 2017.
Just google "luxasia sale" once in a while to see when the next one is

@grizzly76
Good to know another one of us likes vetiver notes. Subtle, soothing but still a confident base note, I like.

In that case, I have two words for you... Encre Noir

Mar 2017??
Was it the warehouse sale in Tai Seng or the F&F sale at Paragon?

 

[grizzly76]

Tai Seng apparently

Oh, Lalique?
Definitely will check it out. Where can get?

[grizzly76]

I've seen Encre Noir at Mustafa. The EN Sport flanker is quite interesting too!
Alternatively, try Perfume Bar Enterprises at Ppl's Park Complex.

I gave it a miss since the brands were all skincare/haircare/body products.
Were there prefumes?

 

[grizzly76]

I didn't attend this either based on the non-fragrance brands
