Shopee, Lazada have. But don't but those dirt cheap ones. Most probably fake. Read the reviews.

Depends on what perfume you looking for. Got a few shops like Mustafa, Beauty Language, Bonjour Cosmetics, Perfume Bar, Dollar & Scent ... etc

Get direct from LV boutique or website. If you are willing to pay this kind of money for frags, really not worth to cheap out and take the risk with buying from dodgy sources.

Airport fragrances cheaper or Mustafa?

Airport fragrances cheaper or Mustafa?

Just my 2 cents...
Airport will have a wider range and some travel exclusives, but not necessarily cheaper.
Mustafa has a more limited range of popular, mass market items, but marginally cheaper than department stores.
Do some comparison checks as much as possible.

does the fragrance in mustafa feel "expired" / cheap?
like snacks from value shop vs cold storage.

Yes and no...
For popular fragrances (eg Paco Rabanne 1 Million, LPG Le Male Le Parfum etc), their turnover is astounding.
On the other hand, I spotted a few old bottles of Guerlain (one each of Shalimar EDT and L'Instant de Guerlain EDT) laying about too.
They've had more interesting selections when they operated out of Serangoon Plaza before; a few vintage bottles at times.

It may take a few visits over a few weeks to get a sense of what moves and what doesn't, but if they stock it in great numbers, it's generally a good sign that those items move well.

This afternoon's update from Mustafa...
Azzaro Most Wanted and JPG Le Male Le Parfum sold out.
Lots of stock of JPG Ultra Male.
Nothing else exciting.

was trying to find another alternative, but hard to find that kind of frag.

You answered your own question. This particular range is hard to find mainly because LV themselves never distribute to 3rd parties for sales and are only selling it on their own site and boutiques. So should you see any seller claiming to be selling this at a considerably cheaper price, more than likely its a fake.

If you really want to cheap out, then get middle eastern clones. There is a very much hyped clone for LV L'immensite called Maison Alhambra jean Lowe Immortal. Can be had on shopee for around $40+.

Have been using mont blanc explorer edp for quite a while and kind of like the scent. Any other brands I can try w a similar profile?

Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man Pure Parfum Limited Edition or Eau de Parfum .. longevity 2X of Explorer with same scent profile .. or Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense ..

Pretty sure CDNIM Pure Parfum and Limited Edition are 2 different versions.
Far as i know CDNIM comes in:
EDT/ EDT no alcohol 105ml
EDP 200ml
Parfum Limited Edition (aka Luxury edition aka Collector's edition) 105ml
Parfum (Pure perfume) 150ml

IMO, if all you want is simply a frag that smells similar to Aventus, get the cheapest version which is the EDT. Tough to justify the price of the Limited Edition even though its supposedly the best version. Most value for money would be the Pure Perfume 150ml or Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense 150ml both going for ard $60.

Other Aventus type clones to consider:
Al Haramain L'Aventure
Al Haramain L'Aventure Intense
Afnan Supremacy Silver
Lattafa Al Dur Maknoon
Hamidi Addicted Intense(marketed by Sterling Perfumes aka Armaf)
Khadlaj Infini
Khadlaj Infini Absolute

Yeah......Aventus inspired fragrances are really been done and milked to the death.......

I own the EDT and LE, as well as Explorer. EDT is very harsh. LE is noticeably way smoother. Both good longevity. Explorer smells very smooth but very "soft", and needless to say, longevity is crazy bad on my skin.

Agree with you that Parfum version is the best choice if you're gg for price + value. LE is the best choice if you're a sucker for presentation boxes.

I own Jean Lowe Immortal, longevity is not very good on me. Instead of buying an entire bottle of the clone, recommendation is to purchase a decant of it to test if you're okay with the scent profile and longevity/sillage etc, or you rather pay a few hundred more to get the real deal.

Will just buy the decant and test it out.
If is nothing near the real deal, i will just buy it from LV

Most, if not all of these Aventus inspired clones just can't replicate the smoky pineapple scent from vintage Aventus batches. Some of these clones don't even have pineapple as a note, although Aventus themselves seemed to also have replaced pineapple with apple and citrus notes in newer batches.
