Jasina and D'Fatiin has some maison alhambra. Les Parfum has a couple of very old fragrance world frag. I can't find any local sellers for Paris Corner at all so i usually buy from shopee malaysia sellers. But SG based sellers prices in general are very marked up. Much rather just buy on shopee malaysia sellers which carry wider range and at least 20% cheaper.

Thank you! Will go check out the physical store in person. Have brought couples of frags from them in sg shopee before was wondering if I can use shopee Malaysia and then use vpost to ship them over to Singapore since there's more variety of fragrances available over there and the price is cheaper too. Anyone tried that before? Or have any other ways can post on this thread or pm me

I ever thought of buying directly from malaysia lazada and shopee and then ship in using vpost but after factoring the vpost shipping fees, its really not worth it. Also, its really troublesome to try and register a malaysian lazada or shopee account as they require you to own a malaysia based mobile number for verification.

If you use tiktok, try tiktok shop @scenticasg. For me they stock the widest range of middle eastern clones which no other local sellers have but again, prices are pretty marked up.

I thought our local Shopee does have some Malaysia shops on Shopee?
I bought quite a few from Malaysia using shopee.

There are quite a few Perfume stores in Batam Nagoya Hill mall also of you go there.
Those branded probably fake perfumes but you can also find Maison Alhambra those perfume there.

Oof that's a bummer, scenticasg prices are around $40-50 which is pretty marked up for a clone in spite of that they do sell some clones that's not available on shopee another thing I notice is they sell in low Quantity like around 5-10 so some of the products are easily sold out wonder where they source their products from

They do but it is hard to find the rarer/lesser-known clones will go check the stores out if I were to visit batam in the future

Not only can you find wider range on shopee malaysia, but the prices are also considerably cheaper. Take the Maison Alhambra Jean Lowe range as an example.

Shopee SG local sellers: $50+
Shopee SG malaysia sellers: $40-45
Shopee MY: 80-90 ringgit.

But alas, cross region platform purchase not allowed.

Anyone knows where in jb would sell Maison Alhambra?

Anyone tried the Terre D'hermes EDP before? Came across it and really liked the scent.

I only own a bottle of EDT. TDH is timeless and long lasting.
You still get a whiff of it every now and then after hours.

Anyone visited Ngee Ann City B1 around exit to wisma?
There opening more and more perfume shops like Le Labo, MFK, Diptyque, etc down the same row.

From what I've remember, the boutiques for Maison Margiela, Byredo & Jo Malone are there too.
Amaris and Aesop are nearby.
L'Artisan Parfumer should be opening an outlet where Diptyque used to be as well.

What are your thoughts on Prada L'homme vs L'homme intense?

I only have L'Homme L'Eau, which is a light, fresh and very non-offensive scent.
L'Homme Intense is on my wishlist but it's definitely getting harder to find; heard that it's likely discontinued
Both deliver the iris note in an understated way tho

Can try Dior Homme Intense for iris

I have DHI too.
IMO, Dior Homme's iris is more aggressive and forward, where Prada's rendition is more understated.
Most iris-centric scents are ok by me; the only iris is don't like is...

Fragrance Cart has L'homme intense in stock. Do you know if this company is reputable for authentic products?

Fragcart lists a whole bunch of long discontinued fragrances at stupid prices but i seriously doubt they actually have them in stock for sale. So my advice is contact them by any means to confirm availability of item before placing order. As for authenticity, at the price they selling for it better be legit LOL.
