The Perfume Thread

[tictactor]

Hello perfume users, any recommendation for something similar to Gucci Guilty? I have using this for a few years however lately it like OOS in many places and even if i manage to find stock, price seem to be not wallet friendly anymore. TIA.

I quite regularly see it at Sephora? I got a sample of it but don't really like how it smells vinegary as it dries down.. got try Mustafa?

Depends how much you spray.
You don't spray that much using fall fragrance.

Summer and Fall fragrance are totally different type of smell.

Those could be testers or newer formulations of Carlisle so it’s quite safe to buy from Carousell if you know how to parse the legit ones from those that are not.

Sadly I don’t know how to haha.
Anyway, do you guys have any websites that you guys always buy fragrance from at a cheaper price? Maybe a website from the US or anything?

Some indication of a trustworthy seller is if their profile is not new, has decent reviews, and is able to provide you more information or receipt for the item they are selling.

If you’re OK, go for those tester bottles which is slightly cheaper (~$280).

do you know if FragranceX is legit?

It is. Expect long shipping times though as it is shipped via sea freight.

For those interested, was at Mustafa and saw Armaf Sillage($39) and Milestone($35). Sillage plenty of stock while Milestone left 2-3 pieces. Surprisingly, they also have in stock a bunch of fairly new Armaf releases namely Ego Exotic, Ego Tigre, Nomad, Caballo and Royal Amber Oud. Tested all of them out and nothing really stands out for me. Unfortunately, did not come across Urban Male Elixir which someone previously stated was selling at Mustafa for $38.

An even bigger surprise, they now have a HUGE collection of Lattafas for sale and the prices are actually quite abit cheaper than online sellers. Good deals i spotted:
Lattafa Asad(sauvage elixir clone) @ $25 (online price ~$30+)
Lattafa Velvet oud(TF ombre leather/tuscan leather clone) @ $19.80 (online price ~$20+)
Lattafa Qaa'ed(Dunhill icon/Issey Miyake Polaris clone) @ $19.80 (online price ~$30+)

They also have the Lattafa Pride range going for between $35-40. These are being sold online for $50+. Heck, they even have a small selection from lesser known clone houses like Ajmal and Rasasi.

Since the turn of the year when online prices went up by at least 8%, i have pretty much stopped my clone perfume collecting hobby. But color me surprised that Mustafa of all places, not only brought in a wider range of clone perfumes but at cheaper than expected price point. Always good for consumers when there's competition and more options available.

I went Mustafa but didn't saw any Milestones.

There's was also Lattafa Oud for Greatness and YSL Y EDP clones few weeks back @$22 each.

Having both YSL Y EDP and Lattafa clone, it's very close. Lattafa is somewhat brighter but also don't last as long.

Today bought Azzaro Most Wanted 50ml @ $49

They actually have 3 different perfume sections at 3 separate buildings. The 2 most people know are at entrance 2/3 along Syed Alwi rd and entrance 4 at Verdun rd. There is one more section, which is the smallest of the 3, at the small building along the main road Serangoon rd. I found the milestone stocked at this section only and not at the other 2.

I always went to the Verdun Road one.
Didnt check out the main building or the Serangoon road one.
I went there yesterday and yes still have Milestone. But that place is so warm, no aircon.
I think they have another very small shop at the junction of Syed Alwi Rd and Jalan Besar but i think i only saw a few Cool Water.

Its a 2 storey building along Serangoon rd just before you turn right into Syed Alwi rd the main Mustafa building. Anyway this section is really small. Only like 2 or 3 shelves of perfume.
