Went to LV store recently and tried on LV imagination and became a fan instantly. But the price is holding me back. $400+ for a perfume seems to be quite expensive.

Wore Moustache Eau de parfum by Rochas yesterday. Really recommend this to all. Classy scent and last long enough.

Davidoff Cool Water for today and I am finishing this bottle very soon. Is my first ever perfume. Will try to get a vintage bottle which supposedly smell better.

I bought from Carousell. 1st a decant then followed by a full bottle. Suggest u to try before u commit a full bottle. I dun find this really that worth buying coz of longevity. Great smell though.

Romance for men by Ralph Lauren for today. Surprised my bottle not spoiled after all these years. Great fresh citrusy with a tinge of peppery spice.

seems like aurel is now selling Armaf Untold. Clone of BR540. pricey though haha
Yeah....Aurel selling the new armaf releases for $60+ which is stupid money to pay for clone frags. But the weird thing is on the official armaf website, its going for 220 AED which converts to about 80 sing dollars so Aurel's prices are actually fair bit cheaper.

New to the fragrance scene, im currently trying to find a suitable scent for myself, where would you guys recommend a newbie to go test for some samples?

Sephora. Plenty of accessible outlets around the island. They stock a wide range of popular designer fragrances and some niches ones (Tom Ford) at their larger outlets like Ion orchard and raffles city mall. Most importantly, you can self service try out their testers all you want and their sales assistants wouldn't really stalk or bother you much.

I brought the Armaf Untold from Aurel. smells like BR540 haha
Managed to snag a bottle of Armaf Iconic on carousell for a good price. Its a Bleu de Chanel dupe and i gotta say its really a well done high quality clone. I am not really into blue type fragrances and BdC is really the only blue fragrance i dig but never got to buying due to price. Tried before a few cheap alternatives like Versace Dylan Blue and Armaf tag him but these really are not up to scratch. But wow, the Armaf Iconic is really close to the original.

Anyway. prior to my purchase i watched youtube review videos of the new armaf range and the general consensus seemed to be:
Hype train - Iconic and Untold
Been there done that(aka no surprises) - Urban Elixir
Meh.... - White Imperiale(PdM Delina clone)

Although MFK Br540 is not really my cup of tea, i might just pull the trigger on a bottle of Untold just to see what all the hype is about.

nice, yea same don't really dig BDC/blue type of scents.

Sillage for Armaf untold very strange. like the real BR540, sometimes you can smell. sometimes you cannot smell.
