The Perfume Thread

[Joe Maya]

I was at the newer perfume section of mustafa and didnt notice Tres nuit being sold or maybe its oos. I already have a bottle of Tres nuit which i bought online for around $25 so if its really sold at mustafa for $15 then thats freaking dirt cheap for a nice close clone of creed green irish tweed.

It's at the old section.
There loads of em over there selling for $15.

Love the bottle.

Cannot believe with such quality bottle is a $15 perfume. The bottle alone is $10. And of coz in my opinion it's better than GIT because it's a bit creamy.

OIC....think i need to make another trip down soon to see what else they have at the old section. But yar its kinda crazy how much you get for such little money. If there is one gripe i have with all the armafs i owned or tested, its that apart from CDNI, the rest are quite below par in terms of longevity. But for the price you pay, just reapply liberally when needed and your heart and wallet won't even feel the pain. I mean when you compare CDNI to original Creed aventus which mustafa has for sale at $399, is the creed really worth 10x more?

Get the Parfum version or Dior Sauvage or Y EDP.


The EDT & EDP projection and longevity is not that good.


Imagine spending $150+ on it where ppl cannot smell you or last 3 hours only.

Anyone has tried the Versace Eros? Any thoughts?

I like it.
Very strong and offensive though.

Perfect clubbing fragrance.

Eros to me not strong
dylan blue stronger

EDT is fresher and to me longevity is the best.

If I would to choose between these 3, I will go for explorer. Easy to pull off, office friendly too.

Would stay away from cdnim, I think a lot of people is wearing this. That's my opinion.

Thanks for the quick reply!
was about to edit my post to add in L’Instant De Guerlain.

I vaguely remember I use own one, plus Caroline Herrera and Ralph Lauren Safari.

Even though I now only stick to Terre d’hermes but more old more ‘Hiao’ want to try something new. Lol

Don't recommend blind buy, some ppl may like it, others may not.
For me personally I cannot stand any green / salty marine fragrances.

CDNIM - Aventus Clone. Get the parfum version instead if you want this.
Sillage - Creed SMW Clone. I am not a fan of Creed SMW and don't like this either.
Explorer - Aventus Clone + More Citrusy.

Out of these 3 I think Explorer is the safest blind buy but personally I like CDNIM Parfum the best.
You can get any of these 3 at Mustafa Centre btw.

my own take on CDNIM and Explorer

- CDNIM has very nice mid notes and the the drydown from mid to base got me a few compliments from both sexes which is a first for me but only lasts like 2 hours... Base note itself, my body personally cant handle ambroxan or ambergris, smells off to my nose and this base is very strong to me, on par with sauvage. cdnim also lasts very long, after shower still able to smell it on the skin.

- Explorer, safe aventus clone from top to mid. Mid note is quite nice but the base is my favourite among ambroxan ingredient. Doesnt come off as strong, great daily office spray although the ladies would just confuse it for sauvage too even though the intensity is perhaps 6.5/0 vs a 9/10
i feel explorer also just has abit more professional scent to it.

if blind buy and no issues with ambrox scent, then cdnim wont go wrong for the price.
