Does Mustafa still have stock of Bvlgari Aqva Amara? Or where can I find it locally at a good price? Thanks in advance.

Aqva Amara is discontinued and I do not think Mustafa has it anymore.

Can try your luck looking at other shops that still has leftover stock.

Does Mustafa carry newer Givenchy perfumes released from 2016 onwards?

Looking at the Givenchy Dahlia Divin Le Nectar de Parfum, released in 2016.

Found 2 local websites selling it, PerfumeStore and SD Perfume. Also, took a walk at major departmental stores like Metro, Robinsons, Takashimaya and Isetan.
Wanted to compare the prices before deciding where to get it eventually.
The price differences are quite a lot.

Any advice from the pros here?

I have seen Givenchy gentleman so I wouldnt be surprised if they do.
More concern is the quality as some smell really alcoholy

Just ordered Tom Ford Black Orchid eau de parfum 3oz from FragranceX

Givenchy Dahlia Divin Le Nectar eau de parfum is out of stock at FragranceX.
Will have to wait for them to re-stock.

Note that have to pay additional import tax once item has arrived in Singapore.

Ordered on Sunday night and received on Friday night. The import tax depends on the weight/quantity, I guess. I had to pay import tax when I ordered 4 different bottles of fragrances but this time, I did not pay any import tax when I ordered just 1 bottle.

How did you find it?

 

[tkl23786]

Was it more than $400 when you ordered 4 bottles previously?

Sent from IPhone XXX using GAGT

Yes. It was more than SGD400. Bought Bond No. 9, Thierry Mugler and 2 DKNY. Maybe that is why had to pay additional import tax as the cost of the goods is high.

How much you pay for your Tom Ford in total?

 

[darren89]

How did you find it?

Bdc parfum is warmer and richer with lack of the opening freshness

Savage edp concentration is stronger in every aspects overall

Sauvage smells the same?
I never got the kind of performance alot of people get from it.

 

[tkl23786]

That was GST.
If your online purchase exceeds $400, you have to pay additional 7%
Try to keep it below.

I was charged SGD20++ from DHL plus another SGD20++ for duties/taxes. Total payment paid to DHL was approx SGD50. That was in addition to the shipping charges I have already paid to ship the fragrances to Singapore.

DHL Receiver’s Guide to Duties and Taxes
http://www.dhl.com.sg/en/express/customs_support/duties_taxes/duties_taxes_receivers.html

To avoid paying additional duties/taxes/charges, it is better to split up the purchases for high-valued items.

 

[tkl23786]

How much you pay for your Tom Ford in total?

Approx SGD180 for Tom Ford Black Orchid, inclusive of shipping charges and a 15% discount for the fragrance.

Without the 15% discount, it will be approx SGD200 inclusive of shipping charges.

Note that FragranceX has free worldwide shipping if you enter the free shipping code with purchases above USD69.

For my case, the 15% discount is more worth than the free shipping so I took the discount and paid for the shipping.

You have to check out the available discounts from FragranceX and apply the one that is more worth

Do yourself a favor. Do not believe those Dubai grade blah blah, whatever grade in Carousell. They are definitely fake.
