Eh, I read somewhere in the thread that those mini testers have a different formula from the actual bottles? And actual bottles tend to be more diluted than testers?

I thinking of going down to Bonjour Cosmetics to look for
1)BVL man in black
2)Montblanc Legend

That said, is it possible for a perfume to last past bathing? I tried the Legend and felt that I could still smell it the next day!
Er, whether it's mini, testers or actual it's the same exact formula. If the perfume has a beastly performance, it's not uncommon to still get wisp of it after a shower.

Nope, didn't. I was with a friend so I had to spray and go. Was comparing the man in black with the mount blanc legend, trying to decide which to get. My skin turns a lot of perfume bitter for some reason, so I usually wait for a bit before deciding.

I might go down to golden wall factory theses couple of days though.

Oh. I just realise that I got my terminology wrong. Is there an official term for those 1.5 ml vial thing? And are they the same strength?

1.5ml - Sample vial set
10~30ml with replica of actual bottle - Miniature
3~50ml taken from original bottle into travel atomizers - decants

Sample vials normally given by the SAs in department stores to promote their new fragrances but its very small ml bottle. Good for 1-2 time use.

Miniatures are sometimes sold in sets or can be individual. Normally does not come with spray mists. Good for starters who want to sample the fragrance before committing to one. Nice to travel with too but have to be careful on handling the juices as some are not leakproof built.

Decants are fragrance decanted into smaller bottles for ease of travelling, fragrance exchange or for sale to interested buyers who wants to try different fragrances/test fragrance before they commit to one.


All of them are the same strength. There is no stronger formula.
