Looking to buy good fragrances

 

[Watercolorbrush]

Just asking if anyone knows a perfume with this particular smell.
I realized that many Muslim men uses it. So how it smells like it's very powdery.
It smells like mont blanc legend after it dries off for awhile. Burberry Her also has this similar powdery smell after it dries off.
Apparently it lasts really long.
So I have 2 Muslim friends who are using this particular perfume which I have been finding for MONTHS, but they refused to tell me what it was.
One gave me hints that it was like "non-alcoholic" perfume like dexandra or decalysto? I've bought himeros cuz I suspected that it's the smell, but it wasn't I think. Just wondering if anyone actually knows what I'm talking about.

Sorry for the late reply. I forgot about it. I'll keep it simple as I am no pro.
I believe mine is the newer bottle (2019) which should be the same as what they're currently selling.


Scent wise upon first spray, velvety rich with rosey nuances. Not rose blaring but definitely noticeable. Personally I like it alot but not for under the sun type of weather.

Longevity not the best, will say about 8 hours, with the last 3 hours being close to skin.

Overall it's a great blend and no regret buying it. Best for night. Now I am wearing it to bed.

Mustafa sells authentic fragrances. Don't ever buy fragrances from retail, ish tio chopped carrot. Can try carousell or you can go facebook search Lesparfum singapore. They do live streams daily two times. Prices are ok but not really the cheapest.

For me cheapest is still at carousell but just watch for fakes.

thanks for your reply!

honestly i'm not sure if I am going to trust carousell, shopee, lazada already when it comes to perfume because my latest purchase I received either a fake, or a badly defective one. the bottle cap didn't feel original at all, the scent didn't last more than an hour even though it's a EDP (which is supposed to be stronger than EDT), and when sprayed on the 'residue' felt a bit 'sticky' on my skin.

I would rather pay more for authentic products. question is where can I buy from brick and mortar shops? the most expensive is probably its own brand boutique but I supposed some well established shops might sell a bit cheaper?

Not sure of local B&M, probably only during sale then is worth it. Best is to go there for testing purposes only. Then get it online like fragrancex or selfridges if cannot be found in FragranceX. Selfridges online at retail price is not the cheapest but is cheaper than SG. Had the annual free shopping subscription so shipping is a sunk cost for me.

Try not to get from lazada or shopee, just filter out overseas especially malaysia sellers. Very simple to spot fakes, their prices always ultra low 30s dollars and below.

yup i think mine from lazada (local seller) is a fake too. was around 40% off so I thought it might be genuine but sadly, it's a painful lesson learnt.

it's not easy to identify fakes when it's being sold online. you can't test/sample it, no matter how they are being reviewed.

all those recommended earlier, i really don't know how to trust them - what are their credentials? do their customers themselves know if they had bought fakes?
