The Perfume Thread

What were some of her funny or strong reactions so far?

I got "strong weird chemical smell" when I wore L'eau Majeure D'Issey and "vomit" when I wore Mugler's Ice*Men (must have been the patchouli?)

She practically hates everything in my collection, especially oriental scents. To her it smells like a temple. She is only ok with one scent, Mendittorosa.

The strong chemical or vomit smell could be the interaction with your skin?

Most freshie on my skin drys down to a sweaty armpit smell lol

Hell guys,

with this whole Covid situation going on, where is a good place to buy fragrances online? Not that I have a lot of chance to use it... But getting ready for the day to be able to go out and about again!

I finally caved and gave FragranceX.com a try.
Ordered on 15 Apr, supposedly reached Singapore on 19 Apr but still processing at origin hub currently.
WFH now actually means I get to wear and try more fragrances than usual

Been using mostly Acqua di Gio so far, any recommendations for different brands?

That's a very open question...
Maybe start with specifying what aspects of AdG that you like?

The selection in the shop really not bad. But not sure if the prices are alot cheaper. Surprised to find Chanel in online stores like this

I actually get mine from Shopee! Cause i can use vouchers and coins to offset the price~ i usually get mine from this shop cause everything's authentic https://shopee.sg/fragrancecart

Seems like iris has been dropped in the 2020 version, making it a citrus woody fragrance...

Dior Homme (2005)
Top notes: lavender, sage, bergamot
Middle notes: iris, amber, cacao, cardamom
Base notes: patchouli, leather, vetiver

Dior Homme (2020)
Top notes: bergamot, pink pepper, elemi
Middle notes: patchouli, cedar, cashmere wood
Base notes: white musk, vetiver, Ios E Super

no idea why Dior keep dropping IRIS in their new Homme fragrance. first its Dior Homme Sports, den now Dior Homme. big fan of the iris note, so its a no go for me

I'm not drawn to the iris note but it is (was?) the signature note of the Dior Homme line. The 2020 reformulation seems to have been market researched until safe; they should have just called it by another name...

surely cheaper if use vouchers and they always got cashback ones so better deal than retail price

Haven't tried them yet; too pricey...
Still love Eau Sauvage or Eau Sauvage Extreme any time of day

unfortunately SG will only have the new dior homme EDT which doesnt have the iris, no new dior homme intense or parfum which has the iris.

any recommendations ?

I sniffed EO1 and C&P but the edp version. I’m still deciding if wanna get the EO1 9.5ml pure parfum tester.

U really need to love naturals and real ambergris to like ensar’s work.

Alamak. Then I think I just buy the 9.5ml pure parfum tester ba. Makes more sense. Or maybe just pull the trigger for bortnikoff 9ml
