Saw it on carousell, the guy seems to have the full range and some other niche brands. I have not seen them in retail though.

I usually buy them overseas also.
The price is cheaper, got vat refund and they usually give a lot of samples also.
Local price mark up 30% to 50%, usually 2 samples or less.

Lately this new MAVEN is not bad, the markup for Nasomatto is reasonable, at SGD220. But not a fan of that brand..

 

[Beta_Tester]

they very generous with gifts and samples ~

wow, that's a long list.

Chanel Egoiste caught my attention.

another criteria i'll like to add in is longevity of scent, would be great if can last for >6 hr

Thank u so much for your recommendations!

You are welcome! Hope you will find something that suits you.
You have chosen the "sore thumb' (Egoiste) from the list of citrus/woody/aromatics.
Hahah, go try it first. If you like that category, I have a whole new list of similar ones under this Spicy/Woody/Floral for men's.

Personally, I wear those citrus/green ones for office, but they usually don't last very long in this weather.

At night or over weekends, I would whack those power ones.
