Anybody interested in getting Office For Men? There is a buy 1 get 1 free promo now

This is probably the fifth time he's doing this now. I was interested at first, but I'm honestly a little turned off because it's clear it's a marketing tactic of his to price it high to capitalize on the hardcore fans.

I'll get a decant from Carousell first instead of doing a blind buy :s13:

If you want to avoid smelling "common", try to avoid all the blue fragrances.

Stuff like Bleu De Chanel, Dior Sauvage, Versace Dylan Blue, Invictus Acqua, Burberry Mr Blue, Victor Rolf Spice Bomb, Salvatore Uomo Urban, Armaf Craze Blue... the list goes on and on.

Between the 2, in Singapore today, you'll probably smell much more of Bleu de Chanel as it's a more summery daytime office fragrance.

La Nuit de L'Homme, although being a much older release, the current formulation is a sweet/woody/spicy/aromatic which is more suitable for romantic night time (quite obvious with the "Nuit" in the name) or colder weather use. But it's a very sexy fragrance, which depending on your lifestyle might just be what you're looking for.

Thanks for your input Wahjohreno. Yes blue fragrances are common indeed as they are highly suitable in the hot humid climate. I tend to lean towards blue myself.

My current nighttime fragrance is Mugler pure coffee but it can get too heavy when humid. I'll consider getting la nuit then. Thanks!

Yup. Actually many reviewers have said it is a good scent but just that it is overpriced. With the 1-1, it brings the price down to the expected level

Note that the current la nuit available in the market does not last that long, and has poor sillage. Highly recommend you to use it with a travel atomiser.

As for BDC, no comments. It is just a very popular blue fragrance, which also comes with "common". But this is just me.

Sasa having sale on some fragrances.

YSuSW3M.jpg


Dylan Blue for $79, Versace Man Eau Fraiche for $59.

Both are only slightly more expensive than full presentation from discounters like FragranceX and Perfume.com, but of course can't compare if you don't really care for the box. Worth it if you like getting the boxes too and don't wanna wait for the shipping.

Other than that, prices still can't win the discounters.

Trussardi Riflesso is in there too. Smells about 60-70% like La Nuit, but you can get it for closer to $50 from discounters.

First time hearing about this brand. Will try it out and see how it smells.

It's sad that such a great fragrance as La Nuit doesn't last as long as it used to.

Trussardi is supposed to be a really old Italian brand, but (evidently) they're not really popular anymore.

Worth a shot to try, but don't expect this to be a La Nuit substitute. Get it if you like the scent for what it is and not as a rebound :s13:

You can kinda feel the DNA there, but there's something off about it for me. I'm not sure what is it but I know for sure it'll make me hate the scent if I wear it more than a few times lol

Edit: Aaaand I've bought into the hypebeast. I just ordered a 5ml decant of Office For Men on Carousell!

Hey guys, help a brother out🙏 I'm looking for a summer staple to cope with Singapore sweltering heat. Which do you guys think is better? D&G light blue eau intense or Bvlgari Aqva Atlantiqve

I think both are respectable aquatics. Boils down to which one you like. I personally like Light Blue a bit more.
