Shop or online also ok haha!
Actually find their fragrance not bad, just don't last that long.

But at 50% off I still think it's a good value, just spray once in morning and after lunch haha!

i buy in SG when in Great SG sale or when they have clearance. Usually i stock up when i go London.

Guys any recommendation for body sprays thats like the male version of victorias secret body mist? As i sweat way too easily and lose the scent within an hour of applying any perfume im looking for any brand that can be sprayed in abundance that isn't expensive but doesn't smell cheap. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

If your preference is citrus fragrances, those will not last regardless of brands. Maybe you could bring an atomiser with you and respray throughout the day.

Or

Buy perfumes in Parfum concentration (not cheap)

Or

Use Attars or perfume oils instead (can be cheap, but may not be your type of fragrances)

Can try W.Dressroom 53.

You can't have it both ways.

If one wants guaranteed authenticity, then buy full price from official stores.
If want cheap or discounted, then have to absorb the possibility that it might a fake, whether mustafa, bonjour, lucky plaza, qoo10 or carousell ...

Another thing I like to add is that, one cannot discount the possibility that the manufacturer has tweaked the formula, batches a few years back vs today might be different. Also, smell can be very subjective and various factors can influence. But as often mentioned, if you want 100% safe, then buy from "official' channels and pay premium pricing for it.

Any brick-and-mortar shop in SG selling Armaf or Escentric Molecules ?

 

[FrozenClay]

Went to Fragrance Du Bois earlier only to find out that Layton has a waiting list. Anyone tried this yet?

 

[blzy333]

I heard you can get armaf from Mustafa, have not check it out yet. I got mine from a online seller.

Would like to try out Escentric Molecules though, anyone can share on this?

Yes Escentrics is a very interesting and intriguing brand - too bad I don't think any brick and mortar shop in SG sells it.

Hope it's good ..Looking forward to your review!

I recall reading in this thread (earlier this year) that Mustafa was selling quite a lot of it. Perhaps they have stopped selling the brand - will go down and check it out/enquire when I am free...

Hi there, what would your budget be like? Generally in SG you can find a good variety of fragrances ...

um abt 50 to 100 I'm a student so I can't really afford those above 150

For males, cant go wrong with the budget king Nautica Voyage. Saw it selling at Mustafa for $22 or $23. Do not go for the other Nautica variants, only Voyage is nice. As a student, really dont go spending too much on perfumes. In the future when you work and have a steady income and savings then can consider splurging more for premium fragrances.

No worries, $50 to $100 is more than enough to get you most good designer fragrances. You can start by going for smaller bottles first (50ml); bigger bottles, though cheaper ml by ml, should be procured only if you are confident of the juice. Can shop around at Mustafa or other big departmental stores if want to get non-grey market fragrances which have longer expiry dates. Watch out for year end holiday sales.

And yes...Nautica Voyage is a good choice ! Not sure what category of frag (woody, fresh, flowery, etc ) you like but I will just throw a few budget classics I like apart from Voyage: Azzaro Chrome (fresh aquatic) about $50 for 100ml, CK Eternity (aromatic woody citrus) about $35 for 50ml, Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger (fresh spicy) about $40 for 100ml. All available in major dept stores or Mustafa.

$50 to 100 get Aqua di Gio. A bit dated but will be a nice entry level frag for newbies.

Always have this question on my mind but wonder if anyone can enlighten - are there any Fragrance Communities/Groups here in SG?

I tried googling and researching before but didnt have any results..
