never smelt it before how is it?
i read online that it may be discontinued soon. so get it while you can.

yeah bro, but before i really decide to spend that $300 at mbs i wanna maybe get a decant first?

Never blind buy a niche perfume. The least you can do is to get ur hands on a designer or a clone that smells similar so as to get the general vibe of the perfume.

Where did you get it from? And whats the scent like? Came across this brand on Mr Porter before but couldn't find any shops here which have it.

dayum bruh are you able to hook me up one of these groups? usd150ish is quite decent for tom ford.

Facebook has a number of groups. Can post a message.
For example Redolesscence or Fragrance Fanatic or Fragrance Swap
I saw its a tone down version of Polo Modern Reserve. Interesting and may suit our climate.

Got it when I was in london, about the price from mrporter
Citrusy at first, then a little spicy and musky dry down...
Projection and longevity is average only though.
A tad expensive imo... But it's my kind of scent and its xmas holidays, so....

As gascon7 mentioned, try out Fragrance Swap. Decent fb group with active admins, so anyone who gets reported for scamming or whatever gets nameandshamed quickly and booted. I think most people there are trustworthy. Can search "Jon Zimmerman", I bought several times from him. Shipping fees are around ~4-5USD when I bought decants.

Fragrance Guru Nation, is the largest frag facebook group. The problem is that it feels to me that booting and disputes get admin-intervention much slower as there is only 1 admin for 8k members. I would be slightly more cautious when dealing with people in this group, though never had any problems so far.

Simplest solution is to always do a search of the member you are dealing with and see if he's trustworthy. There's a culture of shout-outs for successful transactions so it should be easy to tell if someone is trustworthy.

Expect 1-2.5 weeks of shipping time... that's the min-max in my personal experience.

anyway got a new 1million to let go.. i think its too strong for me.. got it from airport.

I am new to this forum, just getting into niche frags.. i agree personally i like and use platinum egoiste a lot... very classy and elegant... lasts long...

 

[kkmuku]

what forwarder do you use, i used to get from EZbuy but these days from last week they have stopped shipping perfumes.. any other forwarder do you suggest..

 

[kkmuku]

anyone can suggest where i can find vintage bottle of Dior EAU Sauvage (1966 version), i am looking for old batch preferably 2010-13 formulations, even earlier better.

 

[kkmuku]

Tried Dior EAU Sauvage Parfum today, smells really nice- pretty stylish... the myrrh does the trick. in my view it does not smell anywhere closer to the original EDT version...but very different and modern day take on the old vintage one.

frags like 1million is more like a club fragrance, u wear it just to go clubbing, its definitely not a work fragrance, or a casual fragrance

 

[kkmuku]

for office wear more suitable would be BDC, Platinum Egoiste, Dior EAU sauvage (wish it had the longivity)... my humble 2 cents...
