The Perfume Thread

[triface]

I am quite a noob. Not too sure how to describe the different dna. But explorer is like brighter smelling than sauvage.

Other popular dna includes bleu de chanel. From chanel, i also like egoiste platinum. I also like the armani aqua de gio profomo (black bottle). For something different, i also like the hermes terre de hermes fraiche or something like that. The one with the white collar, not the brown collar.

Happy trying/shopping.

Thanks! Been on the lookout for a fragrance for the past few weeks. I ask about popularity so I can perhaps move more towards the less popular ones. I know I shouldn't care what people think, but I'm a little wary of annoying people because "it's that fragrance again..."

I love the ADG Profumo too! The incense note is really nice and I'm thinking of picking up a bottle myself.

I believe you are referring to notes or accords in the scent, right?

For example, ambroxan features heavily in Dior’s Sauvage.

Google “ambroxan” and you’ll find it in Prada’s Luna Rossa & Luna Rossa Carbon, and in Versace’s Eros.

Hm I hear DNA being used a lot so I always assumed it's more on the overall scent profile of the fragrance.

I did consider looking up by notes too! But as you mentioned, ambroxan is in Dior Sauvage, which is a super popular fragrance, and Luna Rossa Carbon, which I don't think is as popular and which I think smells quite differently. I ended up giving up on going by the notes and using my nose, but there's way too many fragrances out there

If u are interested in Aventus but dont want to pay the exorbitent price, try Armaf Club de nuit intense. Close match

Now I'm interested in checking Explorer out! Heard so much about Aventus but never got a chance to see what it's about.

At risk of sounding like a hipster, other than Dior Sauvage, are there any other DNAs that are very popular in Singapore?

That's what I thought too. I literally don't know anyone who uses fragrances so I kinda figured a lot of what I hear about certain DNAs being overused like Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage, Acqua Di Gio and even Aventus don't really apply to us. Maybe it's more a problem if working in CBD?

Wow, nice. Love a good performing fragrance. I really liked Artisan Pure but the performance was kinda meh, so I'm looking into other citrus fragrances instead.

Some of my favorites which are long lasting:
- AdP Colonia Intensa
- CdG Man2
- Diptyque Tam Dao EDP
- Lalique Encre Noire
- L’artisan Timbuktu

me ish work ard cdb area but i think in sg ppl typically dun really use fragrance or really into such things. i think using sth diff like maybe prada l'homme will make u "stand out"? in short try to avoid adg and savage type of fragrance lor. i use oud wood before review quite mixed, some like some don't

I have tried 4 sprays before. Too strong

Bought a decant and personally don't like it. You can catch some hints of fresh notes but there's a layer of sweetness on top which dominates the scent IMO and makes it a little cloying for me. I generally don't like anything that's sweet in my fragrance, so that could be a reason.

Having said that, it's a difficult fragrance to dislike, and it performs above average for me. I did one spray on the back of my neck and it lasted about 4 to 5 hours. Even after a shower, I caught a whiff of it as I was sitting down at home.

Just tried it. Reminds me of creed aventus. Quite well priced too. EDP 100ml at retail price of $135.

Sorry am a noob. Is this the one? https://g.co/kgs/3rfk3h

That should be the one. I tried to find a tester of it in store but couldn't find it. Think it's too new

Anyway, anyone know of any stores that have Mugler Cologne available for testing?

 

[kenndizon]

Decided to pull the trigger for YSL Y EDP.

Initially wanted to buy the 100ML ones for $199 at ION. Since I got few hundred of CapitaLand mall vouchers to spend. After the staff there upsold me a gift bundle at $116 which consist of 60ML, shower gel and after shaved balm. Which I think should be a good spent? Hmm..

Hi everyone, any Sg website or store you can find Armaf Signature and Vitesse Carbon at a good price. Btw, how do you guys find Armaf Voyage Intense? Thanks.

Carousell got one guy selling a 90% bottle for $60, but all things considered if you use the shower gel and the aftershave I think for $116 it's not bad too

How do you find it? IMHO more a night time scent and than a day time scent because of the prominent apple note. In my experience it never really goes away so it always smells sweet.

Yeah. The $116 was quite difficult to resist.. That sales man also said that it is while stock last, not sure how true is that. So if u’re interested, gotta fast hand fast leg.

With that being said, I kinda of agree with u that it’s more towards night time scent. But today I actually asked a few of my female colleagues of their opinions, they said I smelled great! Haha so that’s matters.

90% bottle of 60ML or 100ML for $60?

I went to those stores selling perfume to enquire. Its OoS and will only be restocked in 2 weeks

Original price according to him was $180+, so it should be a 100ml bottle.

90% of 100ML for $60 sounds abit too good to be true.. gotta be caution of the authenticity... cheers buddy.
