Give it a try at escentials paragon. There are some gems among the range. Black saffron to me is like a Tuscan leather light, more suitable for our weather. Other worthy mentions include 1996, gypsy water and pulp.

I like niche fragrances that are unique. Current favourite is Nasomatto's Black Afgano

Alot lesser bubble gum vibe which I dislike while still retaining the original dna. Overall much more pleasant compared to original invictus

The price is different depending on the scent, I paid $530 for POAL previously, others are in the $300s to $400s range. Most expensive is Carnal Flower $550.

Diff is that big huh. Thanks for the info.

The EU prices also varies from €135 to €185 to €200, €250.. €260 depending on which scent you like.

Over here, cheapest is Bigarade Cologne, most ex is Carnal Flower, the markup is ridiculous.

There's another €1040 call The Night which is not available here, looking at how Singapore markup their prices, it will probably cost $2100 here.

Regrettably, this perfume/brand has serious QC issues, the quality is so inconsistent that it's ridiculous. You might as well save the money and buy a $20 Armaf Club de Nuit, which can be considered one of their batch variations with less pineapples.

Those reviews on fragrantica date way back to it's initial release, and everyone is talking about THEIR bottle.
