Very curious about fragrance hub lazada. Are their perfumes authentic? They have many good reviews on Carousell.
Their prices too cheap

Highly likely to be fake. Remember if it is too good to be true…

Fragrances from non-official sources have always smelled close, but slightly off, to me. Even if the price isn't ridiculously cheap or anything. I wouldn't bother anymore.

Hi anyone got any idea for this? Thanks all
If you don't want to have to be worried about authenticity, then get from Jo Malone official store on lazada. During major sale events can stack site + seller + bank coupons + laz bonus. If you gonna have to spend a few hundred bucks on a bottle of perfume, better don't take the risk of getting from "grey" sources at the expense of saving a few dollars.

Alot of nice fragrances simply don't make their way to our shores. Which is why if you go out there you will see that everybody is wearing the same few popular and easily available street or designer fragrances. Sites like FragranceX and StrawberryNet are good alternative to buying fragrances that are not available, hard to find or discontinued locally. But man, FragranceX used to be alot more attractive with their prices and coupon discounts. Last time i bought from them sometime around late last year, shipping took more than 3 weeks and i passed up on them since.

Carouhell is a ******* joke of a platform. Previously when i tried to list my Armaf tre nuit partial bottle for sale, the listing got deleted by their moderation team due to reason of "selling counterfeit goods". So apparently to them middle eastern clone perfume are "counterfeit" while they are being flooded with $30 Tom Fords and Perfum de Marlys listings and doing nothing to catch such sellers.

Other than Mustafa, which only seems to carry sillage and the CDNIM EDT (sometimes without any testers in all locations), where else can I try the other versions of CDNIM?

https://aurelsg.com/They have a by appointment only showroom at chai chee where you can test. Think they carry pretty much the whole range of CDNIM.

If you are looking for clone of Aventus, would suggest giving CDNIM a pass. Their EDT/EDP/Parfum are know to have minimal differences(synthetic Mama lemon dish washer type smell off the top and no pineapple smell even though its a listed note). Also their post-2020 batches are know to have lousier performance. There is a Parfum limited edition which supposedly is the best of the lot but that one costs almost twice the price.

There are other better Aventus clones out there ard the same price range namely Afnan Supremacy Silver or Supremacy not only intense(both of which is available at Aurel too), Al haramain L'Aventure and to lesser extent, Montblanc Explorer which is not a super close clone but does have the Aventus vibe.

Thanks! I see, I've never smelled the aventus before 😂 just bought the Dior Homme Sport EDT, like the citrus opening and how it wears down to a leathery smell!
