Ah my bad i misinterpret. I was amazed by your exquisite taste for fragrance. I totally forgotten about that Johnny Depp frag. Well i hope u can share a bit of your experience once you got your orders done and received. Still considering whether to get from them or not.

There are different schools of thought. Some people felt that latter products will sometimes be "watered-down" than the first bottle due to reformulations. I can't say that this is 100% true but it may be one of the reasons too.

Is Vesace PH your only fragrance? If yes my thought is that if you use a single fragrance everyday, there are chances that your nose has already accustom to that particular scent and your memory muscle has registered it inside your brain. You will feel that no matter how much you've applied, you will not be able to get that kind of projection and longevity like before but in reality, people around you do get that strong scent even if you don't.
I can relate to this because initially before i discover my new hobby, i was using only one perfume, Clinique Happy. It was a fresh scent and i've never thought of switching perfumes. It was like an everyday scent but the scent memory can never be better than the first time i applied it at the store when i was first introduced to it on 2007. Nevertheless it is not wrong to use a single fragrance as your signature scent. What you can do is maybe get another fragrance for special occasions or a sports perfume if you are a frequent gym person. Alternate between two frags and see if it helps.

Whether does it got to do with your body i say it's a yes and depend on your situation and environment too. Yes as research shows that people with oily complexion does have a better scent longevity. If your body heat is high it will affect longevity of the perfume.(Heat forces the scent molecules to dissipate faster) another reason why it kills to apply perfume in Singapore weather.

May have been for some frags that was reformulated but for yours i have not heard about it.

Well these are the possible explanations that i can think of, else probably you are getting a knock-off version but these accusations are hard to justify unless you are really expert in spotting the fakes. Hope you find back that first scent you like.

where is the most legit shop in your opinion to buy perfumes ? (non-departmental stores)
Click to expand...

There is no "most legit shop", it all depends on what you want to buy and how much you want to risk it. Even if it is a brick and mortar perfume store also have to depend on your trust with the shop. I always do my research and create my own wishlist then go for price hunt. There are bound to have shops that sells cheaper than others for particular brands.

But if you want to know where i get my fragrances, these are names that i have been to or info from reputable forumers and fraglovers. Just sharing.

Bonjour Cosmetics @ Golden Wall Factory - Been there, great place to start
Bonjour Cosmetics @ Yue Hwa Guo Huo Chinatown 裕华国货 - Been there
Mustafa @ Farrer Park Stn - Always go there for sampling fragrance. No one disturbs
Scent & Bottles @ Far East Plaza - 1st shop i bought my fragrance. Friendly staff.
Fragrance Du Bois @ 1 Fullerton Sq - Never been there before but it has been mentioned everywhere for its range of niche fragrances.
Robinsons @ Heeren - Designers and niche fragrances
Tangs Plaza @ Orchard - Large variety of niche and designer houses.
Tangs @ Vivo - Same but more designers than niche
Ion Orchard - Designers @ their own boutiques like Penhaligon's etc
Escentials in Paragon for Creed, Byredo and other niche frags(gascon7)
Malmaison in Knightsbridge for Frederic Malle.(FrozenClay)

Good list. I'd add Escentials in Paragon for Creed, Byredo and other niche frags.
Obviously if you like Lalique head to Lalique in Paragon and Mandarin Gallery
