The Perfume Thread

Jo Malonne clone at fraction of price = Jenny Glow. And Jenny Glow has a sister brand called Just Jack which is a clone for Tom Fords. Recently bought a bottle of Just Jack Vetiver which as the name suggests, is a clone of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. Never smell TF Grey Vetiver before so i cant compare on closeness. But for me the JJ Vetiver is quite exotic smelling and nothing like your common synthetic smelling frag being worn on the streets. For longevity, i get about 6-8 hours and i refrain from spraying too much as i am still getting used to the smell.

Also, i received a 2ml sample of Afnan Silver Supremacy, which is supposed to be a closer smelling clone of Creed Aventus than the popular Armaf CDNIM. Overall, i find Afnan SS milder, or more refined if you would put it that way, as the Armaf CDNIM can be quite harsh from the citrusy opening all the way to the smokey dry down. However, longevity on the Afnan SS is nowhere near as godly as the Armaf CDNIM. SS i get about 3-4 hrs max. CDNIM i get 6 hrs minimum.

please give review of office for men after you tried it

This is pretty much floral Aventus. It's interesting because there's no smoke or birch listed. Maybe the "woody notes"?

Taking into account the 1-for-1 discount which is happening pretty much all the time now, with shipping, this happens to be within the range of Chanel's prices (if you can find a buyer for the second bottle), which I think is much more reasonable if you like the scent. However, Explorer is a very similar scent and can be had for a quarter of the original price.

The DNA is a pleasant surprise and I really like it, but it's not worth $250.

Don't mind me asking, where did you get your sample from? Neither Afnan or L'aventure are available on Carousell, and I've been wanting to try something out after dismissing CDNIM

Got it from the Just Jack seller who included the sample as a freebie but i just checked they are not listing the Afnan SS for sale. If you are looking for Afnan SS full bottle, you can try shopee where you can find it being sold at $59 for 100ml. I feel its on the pricey side considering thats about double the price for a bottle of CDNIM.

Currently using Hermes Citron Noir, but the fragrance only lasts half day. Any reco for an alternative?

Thanks! I was looking for a small decant or sample so I can try it before getting a full bottle

what do you guys do with your used perfume bottles?

 

[triface]

Bonjour on Lazada has some good deals guys. Some of the prices actually beat out discounters like FragranceX and perfume.com. It's not across the board better, so do run a check before buying.

 

[zaneeeeee]

Just checking. This could be replied before but are the fragrances from Fragrance cart authentic?

Was casually at Sephora today and I realize the same model of perfume scent was way stronger and lasting than the one I bought from fragrance cart

Got one bottle as a gift and wants to let go as i dont really use perfume.

I only buy my perfumes from tangs. No point to source for cheaper perfumes and worry about authenticity.

Anyone know a place where Emporio Armani Stronger With You is available? Spent the entire afternoon in Orchard and the only place that has it is Ngee Ann City where it's out of stock. It's the closest to what I want in a sweet frag but I need to do more testing

Oh I forgot about Mustafa! Should go back and check the new building at the same time. Thanks!

Is their new building just for niche stuff, or are there designers too?

 

[stetan]

The new building has more stuff than the old IMHO

Where to get cheapest chanel perfume? Airport duty free? Seems like the price quite controlled even on fragrancex.

So far i'm using allure and allure homme blanche for few years. Usually get my stock from airport duty free or tangs.

 

[Tyrhung]

recall seeing it over at their older building. I always browse both buildings though.
