The Perfume Thread

Are these what usually you get when you passby some Malay barber shop?

Sometimes I passby people, got this very nice tobacco smell. Not from ciggs. I just don't know what is it or where it come from . I can't find at any Sephora or Sasa. I don't know where else to find or try but it would be awesome if someone can really know what I'm describing. Sometimes I just thought it could a damn nice smelling cigg

Not sure, but you can test MM Frags at Robinsons.

Can anyone get the BONJ2302 discount code on Bonjour's website to work? Managed to get a small discount a few days back, but there's no place to input the discount code when checking out anymore

Edit: New discount code BONJ0410 is now working. Same discount as previously.

Suggest you go down to their warehouse and buy directly so u can look at the batch code to confirm that the perfumes have not been left on shelves for too long...

Hm that's a good idea! Was thinking of taking the chance since Artisan Pure was only released 2 years ago and their warehouse is so out of the way, but turns out the checkout system is not working anyway

I believe Jasina and Bonjour are the safer ones and are on the lower end of the price range. Those in Far East Plaza and Lucky Plaza are usually around the same price, but authenticity is harder to confirm.

If you really want super safe, www.fragrancex.com ships from the US, but there are usually discount codes to bring down the shipping. Certain older fragrances are super cheap on there (Cool Water 125ml for S$27 ), and there's a wider variety.

Last week bought a few perfumes for both myself and Wife during Penhaligons annual sale locally.

Quite a bit of variety.

Thanks for the sic! Just wondering will Mustafa be on the lower end and authentic as well?

Based on the experiences of some of the peeps here, Mustafa is slightly more expensive than Jasina. Jasina supplies to Mustafa in the first place, so they should be more expensive but authenticity wouldn't be an issue as well.

Anyway, you still don't know where the bottles are coming from exactly, so the best bet is to try the fragrances to see if they smell off or if the performance is worse.

Just went down to Bonjour's warehouse earlier and finally decided to get a full bottle of Artisan Pure, but there was only one bottle left in their main outlet.

The staff were really helpful! They basically said not to buy from the outlet, and opened up the listing on Qoo10 so I can check it out for a much cheaper price instead. It's a whole $20 off from Sasa. It helps that there was literally nobody else there haha

The selection for browsing there is really limited though. The first shelf after entering is all the half-used testers, and most of them are from less popular brands and lines. Best if you know what you're looking for, then go down and try to cop a full bottle.

By the way, for those interested in Mont Blanc Explorer, it has really good performance. Seven hours and a shower later and it still has very powerful sillage. I'm not a fan of the smoky pineapple from Aventus so it's getting a little annoying lol

Guys is mustafa cologne real? Just bought eros and dylan blue but i feel that the sillage is not as strong. Any advice? Much appreciated.

Anyone tried and can give feedback on BVLGARI Man Extreme EDT? Any difference between this comapred to BVLGARI Man In Black EDP?

And what's the difference between Armani's Acqua Di Gio EDT and Acqua Di Gio Profumo parfum?

I am considering in getting one of these, which would you guys recommend and which one will have a longer longevity? Thanks!

EDP AND PARFUM LAST LONGER AND HIGHER CONCENTRATION.

Any reason why you're only looking for EDP? This write-up on the history of fragrances essentially concludes that there is no difference between cologne, EDT, EDP and parfum (it doesn't mention extrait) these days, and it's really up to what the houses wanna term their fragrance.

There are a few ways to understand the differences, such as concentrations, or that EDT lasts longer but doesn't project as well, etc., and the writeup dismisses them all to some extent. They work sometimes, but other times it's not so clear-cut.

This does fall in line with my observation that it's just a way for brands to introduce variations within a line.

Profumo adds an incense and patchouli note to it that makes it smell slightly smoky. It's interesting because you can clearly smell that the ADG DNA underneath, almost like laying a bedsheet (the smoky notes) over the mattress (the original DNA). The smoky notes make it for me, so I prefer Profumo over the original. There are a lot of great fragrances on the market these days, and the original ADG would be boring and not have anything unique to bring to the table IMHO.

ADG is supposed to be super popular, but not many people wear fragrances here, and based on observations from the peeps here, people in CBD seem to always gravitate towards BDC and Sauvage anyway. See which one you prefer.

In terms of smell is there any significant difference? I know Bleu de Chanel edt Edp and parfum smells quite similar whereas some brands edt and edp smell is quite different.
