AVENTUS original not worth. Also very common to spot someone wearing this or the clones around.

The other 2 probably lesser people wear.
Tuxedo also have a few clones around.
LV have clones but lesser.

Tried the best Aventus clone, CDNIM & Nishane Havicat, nothing can beat the OG.

Have you tried Mith's Mystery For Him? Also made by Herault, and is a very interesting take on Aventus. Some of the Aventus fanboys on base notes say it's close to the OG Aventus DNA.

Personally it's alright

Has anyone spotted the new Versace eros energy pour homme in the wild here in SG?
Was hoping this would already be on the shelves, havent seen it anywhere.

Vast majority of new designer perfume releases are not sold locally or only reach our shores 6-12 mths after. Its just the sad reflection of our market and why most folks on the streets are wearing the same old few tried and tested fragrances. Since late last year there have been a bunch of new designer flanker releases i have been looking to test but have yet to see them sold locally.

Thanks for the response.

No wonder i dont see any of Guerlain stores carrying the Platine Privé as well. Will prolly have to get the newer releases over trips or grey/resellers. Cheers

The ideal Parfum is over at the Guerlain counters if u’re lookin to test. I've been getting fragrances on trips so often that i did not realize how slow we are getting releases locally.

Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Parfum- Much richer and sweeter than the ideal EDP. Like a deep sweet boozy night time fragrance.

Mont Blanc Legend Blue - Aquatic body/shower gel style fragrance. Smells like an aftershave.

A few observations from the Luxasia warehouse sale from last weekend:
- Some high profile brands spotted: Creed, Byredo, Memo, Frederic Malle, Serge Lutens, L'artisan
- Lots and lots more stock of Diptyque and Acqua di Parma, proportional to how they've carpet-bombed the Chinese market of late
- Items were generally around 50% off from RRP but scored a few items up to 80% off. Conversely, higher profile brands had lower discounts
- Less aggressive PRC women this tine round thankfully
- More finds on the first day; slim pickings on the second day as expected

The Afnan prices at Mustafa are non the cheaper than online platform sellers. 9pm series $39, Turathi Blue $49, Supremacy series $59. Still, good to see more varied middle eastern brands being sold at Mustafa. Now they even have ahmed al maghribi, zimayan, hamidi, rue broca and quite a growing collection of rasasi.
Afnan perfume is nice.Have been using for a few yrs.Not too overwhelming and unique,can sense ppl ard like the scent.
