The Perfume Thread

What bout Penhaligon vs Maison Francis??? I heard Maison better projection? Also has ambroxan.

depend on which fragrance.

there's a new MFK boutique in ngee ann city, ( next to Diptyque / Byredo ) so you can try it out.

Despite Penhaligon's having many miss as compared to MFK, personally i prefer Penhaligon's but i suspect i'm in the minority.

If you want a really good quality one, try Xerjoff.

i am willing to explore..

does it smell those high end rose ? or those cheap rose.

 

[bbbbbw]

actually I feel sauvage Elixir smells sweet. Parfum smells metallic. I would prefer EDP among Elixir, parfum, EDP or EDT.

Go for prada l'homme, Versace pour homme, aqva marine pour homme or acqua di gio. Maybe even mont blanc legend spirit (does well in summer heat if you need to travel around).
Have never used it but my friend in sch last time has used Lacoste blanc (a bit of floral hint)

Sg outlets sells quite ex, and online is relatively cheaper but im kinda scared on their reliability tho haha. Been asking around but no one replied...

Cannot go wrong with blue fragrance - Bleu De Chanel / Dior Sauvage / Y

If you like vetiver "green" fragrance - Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Terre'D Hermes

Or Iris powdery fresh - Prada L'homme Intense, Valentino Uomo Intense

My fav for office wear is Prada L'homme Intense or Tom Ford Grey Vetiver

Yes exactly thats why im afraid of! But the prices are so much lower online than physical stores tho.
The only physical store that sells cheap no one heard of, one in novena (perfume and cosmetics) and scentiments (CQ). Then even changi DFS kena last time for using one supplier's perfume then now switch supplier.

omg. thats why i am wary of. fakes bought online so i always buy from tangs and sephora.
anyway i am looking at dior homme intense but it isnt selling in physical stores. wonder if anybody bought from scentman on carousell before?

go to fragrancex cant go wrong. they are grey market dealers, even have in stock discontinued products!
But some other online websites are priced even more cheap which i dont dare buy, so buy at your own risk (for other website and even physical store in SG).

bought sauvage elixir in sep 2021 to replace my finishing DH EDT 2020.
one day spray 3-4 times lol in the morning.
buy DHI 2020 for standby after elixir.

I quite like Penhaligon since they profile it to your scent
