The Perfume Thread

[FrogGreen]

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?

i got one way, which most of the people here disapprove. Get from retail. that is my only way.

Speaking of online, how authentic is www.perfumestore.sg ?

I approve, and disapprove those people who just go down to try the scents with the foreknowledge that they’ll be buying it online later

Just get from fragrancex, downside is u have to wait that's all.

Since locally here or e-commerce are carrying many fakes, go for fragrancex or go down Jasina cosmetics.

Do they sell niche perfumes at Jasina ?

Jasina Cosmetics, Les Parfum, Fragrance Tavern Facebook.

Add to that: Perfume Bar Enterprises at People's Park

For the record, I've kena one fake on Carousell...
Price was obviously too good to be true (in retrospect)
Seller shipped "Chanel Allure PH Sport" instead of "Chanel Allure PH Sport EE"...
Got a $20 refund based on that technicality but it was still a $26 mistake

I've seen some niche brands there (TF, Mancera, Goutal, Montale etc) but rarely.
Possible to ask them to help source but it's not a given that they can (and will) find for you

Seen house of oud fragrance there. Tom Ford to me is designer though. Other than that I havent seen any niche perfumes that they are selling.

Good thing is you can take your time at Jasina and test their perfumes at your will.

I'd suggest just relax, it'll get there. They've been in the game since 2001. There's not reason for them to purposely want to delay your shipment.

Can be many things. Like less people working at customs clearance, or back log of shipments to clear since CNY...etc.

Fragrancenet is about the same or worse.

Don't panic. Just be a little patient. Usually the tracking isn't accurate. Many times, I've already received the package and the status remains as out for delivery.

Will keep this in mind, no movement for about a week for my order.

You cannot go wrong with D&G The One.

Your partner / mother / aunt will probably like the smell. It's a mass pleaser.

Owned lucky and prive. To me they are equal rank. Different take.

accidentally dropped my bottle of L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau Extreme, found out that it is discontinued now, any similar scent that i can look at?

 

[soilwork]

I am interested in trying oud. Any recommendation? I am looking at Versace, boss and John varvatos. Just worried it will be overly sweet
