Where do you guys get decant bottles from? Daiso doesn't seem to have them anymore. Found some at Muji and The Green Party, but both are plastic.



Yeah, that was where I tested! I'll have to check the price but cheapest I found was about $50+ for 50ml.



That's what I get too. I love that because I get a bit self-conscious when wearing fragrances, so this is great for smelling great without being too loud.

Daiso still have, at least the one @ IMM, glass ones.

Anyone tried this?

[Forment] For Men Signature Perfume Cotton Hug
https://aprilskin.com.sg/products/forment-for-men-signature-perfume-cotton-hug

Looks cool leh. I like scents that are like fabric softener, soap, powder, etc.

I managed to find a scent breakdown on Parfumo:

Top Notes - Orange
Heart Notes - Rose, Jasmine, Eucalyptus
Base Notes - Patchouli, Cedarwood, Musk, Amber

A little expensive for the price though. At $47 for 50ml, it's fighting with a lot of tried and tested designers :s13:


Currently using Mont Blanc Legend but it isn't very lasting. Been looking for a nicer smell and lasting perfume. Any recommendations?
What kind of scents and accords do you like?

Really like Paul Smith Extreme. Started off with some citrus notes then after a while can smell the musky part and still have some citrus notes in it. Just that I can't really smell it after around 3 hours. But really loving this scent for now

Explorer is very new, so you'll have to wait for the price to drop at non-retail shops. It's supposed to smell very similar to an expensive fragrance called Creed Aventus (~$400 for 100ml), but there are quite a lot of clones out there, some better and some worse. Armaf Club De Nuit Intense is one of the always-mentioned clones, and it's the one that's the most available for us. You can find them on Carousell for less than $50 for 100ml.

Versace Pour Homme combines neroli and what is essentially a starfruit note. It's easily sampled at any of the Sephoras and you should be able to pick it up on the cheap. I don't think the performance is any better than legend though.

Not exactly fruity, but a sweet-smelling floral you can check out would be Prada L'Homme. It's flowery, but it also has a sweet note to it from the amber. Also easily sampled at any of the Sephoras.

Thanks. I'm leaning more towards explorer since I'm using mont blanc legend currently. Anywhere that I can sample the scent? Keen to get the tester set but is oos in all the online shop I visited.

Explorer is in any of the Sephoras as well. Definitely test it on your skin because it's one of those scents that develops. It starts out very smoky but it dries down to something more balanced.
