Can't remember what Starwalker smells like, but One Million and Eros both smell very sweet. I don't remember One Million's sweetness dying down a little, but Eros did do that and the mint became more prominent. Not the best when it's hot as hell, but if you're careful on the sprays, I think it works even in warm weather.

All are okay designers, but I think depending on what you're looking for, there are better options out there.

Thanks. I'm looking for something that smells sweet and has a long lasting effect. What else would you recommend? Thanks.

how's the performance of invictus aqua 2018 version? Should I get D&G Light Blue Eau Intense or IA 2018 as my day out hot weather scent? Love IA 2018 opening scent while I love Eau Intense ambroxan drydown. Would go with something that has better performance and compliment factor. Help a brother out! 🙌

Never like Lighr blue intense. Found it sharp and just smell bad. Personal preference

If you're specifically looking for something sweet, Eros is pretty decent, although it's not really known for longevity.

I'm not very familiar with sweet fragrances, much less something long lasting, but here are some that I think may fit your bill:

  1. Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne (has a sweet almond note on top)
  2. Prada L'Homme Intense (it starts out irisy and powdery, but the drydown is quite sweet. Not sure what is making up the sweetness though. Can't recall how long it was projecting for, but it stayed on skin for at least 12 to 16 hours.)
  3. Hugo Reversed (starts out tart but dries down to a sweet aquatic, but performance is kinda meh)
  4. Emporio Armani Stronger With You (vanilla-heavy, haven't tested it out extensively yet but people think it lasts quite long)

MFK BR540 to me is sweet, and very long lasting. However, it's expensive. A similar vibe replacement for BR540 - Montale sensual instinct or mancera instant crush.

Hasn't tried it personally, this is just what people been mentioning

Currently using Chanel Bleu (I really like it), previously using Dior Sauvage.
Any others I should check out? Might just get a bottle of Armaf to try for fun.

Plenty in the market worth trying out. More specific like for what occasion, purpose, particular note of your interest etc?

Guerlain L'homme Ideal Cologne has been discontinued. I don't think there will be room for capital appreciation here in Singapore, but I quite like the scent and haven't bitten the bullet yet :s22:

Wondering if I should order a full bottle from FragranceX just to hold or for personal use.

Edit: I totally did it :s13:
