The Perfume Thread

[rECKleSSfElla]

Blind bought Lattafa Sublime which has same presentation as Oud for Glory but Red.

It's smells Great. Fruity Rose.
Might lean more to female scent.

Testing off my skin, the sublime is overwhelmingly sweet. The fruit notes(lychee i think) are way too prominent and mix with rose notes the sweetness becomes overbearing. But $29 is a steal for folks who like this kind of scent as the sublime is selling for about twice the price online. Personally i prefer the Baade al oud Amethyst as a more rose centric scent where the sweetness is balanced out by the oud in the background.

A total noob in fragrance here
Can anyone recomend me a nice mens fragrance that give a chill, yet professional scent for work purposes on a casual Friday?
I use Davidoff Coolwater and I find i it slightly too 'formal'(unsure what is the correct term) for the ocassion
Budget less than $20. Perfume, cologne or deodorant all fine with me

Your budget short of 1 zero at the back issit? Realistically below $20 can do or buy what nowadays? Don't say designer or street frags, even clone frags cost more than $20 a bottle nowadays.

Now in Mustafa selling those card size spray from Lattafa, priced at $4.90. But the box packaging is not sealed, and many just take out and spray like tester, so I will not take any chance with this one.

As for Khamrah, currently out of stock in Mustafa. I saw a lot of stock priced at $44 2 weeks ago, but since mid of last week until this Monday... still out of stock.

Stick with Cool Water. It's not too "formal"

Interesting Bottle.

I bought a Masion Alhambra Infini Musk online to try.
Bottle and notes breakdown looks like Initio Musk Therapy clone to me.

Maison Alhambra is sub brand of lattafa. I have their Tom Ford Neroli Portofino and Tobacco Vanille clone which are pretty spot-on albeit slightly pricey. But last i heard their line of Tom Ford clones have been discontinued due to lawsuit from Estee Lauder. Maison Alhambra actually have a huge amount of clones but unfortunately hard to find local sellers for them, while those you could find are going for steep prices.

I guess Mustafa not taking risk of importing them so far since the bottle is a very close giveaway.

I bought some from Malaysia sellers. Price wise not cheap either, probably 2 times the retail price estimating from the other clones perfume. But local seller sold it more expensive.

Doubt sellers are at legal risk for selling but once news went around that the Tom Ford line of clones are being discontinued, prices went up by 5-10 bucks. I got mine for around $35 a bottle and now i check shopee its going for $40-45, and there are even some idiots on carousell trying to flip for $60-70 a bottle.

It has already been debunk that this rumour started bcoz some sellers wanted to cause panic buys from the community. So far no such news from the Estee Lauder legal side.

I see Maison Alhambra releases recently, they have cloned Chanel, Armani, Dior, PDM, D&G, Le Labo. Getting more daring

 

[rECKleSSfElla]

Yeah not sure if or what legal grounds there are to sue clone makers. Trademark can be applied to brand names but can smell or bottle/packaging design be trademarked? And to be fair, Maison Alhambra is not the first or only clone maker to release 1:1 copy of originals, but they are definitely one of the most high profile.

Mustafa have both the normal spicebomb and NIght Vision. I remember both are going @ $70+ but i don't quite remember whether thats for the 50ml or 90ml. For normal spicebomb 90ml can find on carousell for ard $95.

Spice bomb extreme.

Spice bomb extreme.

Beauty Language has the extreme on their qoo10 and shopee store for $99.90. Get a few dollars off with coupon use. Not sure whether can find anyone selling cheaper. Quick search on carousell and most BNIB 90ml is going for $100+.
