Every Sephora and Dior boutique should have.

Does anyone know where in singapore can test Dior Sauvage Elixir? Been eyeing this for sometime but i got no idea how it smells. Have relatives going to europe so thinking of asking them to get a bottle for me if prices are cheaper

Nope.....for sephora i went to a whole bunch of outlets they have normal sauvage but not elixir. Kinda expected since elixir is pricey as fug for a designer brand frag and i don't expect them to have testers on display for people to try out nilly willy.

Went to the sephora Nex outlet and they do indeed have a elixir on display for testing. I must have all along assumed its normal sauvage since the bottle and retail box design are almost identical for both. But having tried out the elixir, i am struggling to see how it commands a hefty price of $180 for 60ml bottle. Maybe the scent is too sophisticated for me but it feels very much like a 80s or 90s old man scent to me. Also i did like 3 sprays on my arm and less than an hour later it becomes a barely noticeable skin scent. If i want a dark, masculine scent for formal suit and tie occasions, i much rather go for something like D&G The One or Bvlgari Man in black.

Silver Mountain Water from Creed. Had this bottle for years. Smell musky not exactly fresh and lost that feeling of icy mountain stream on my body.

Cool Water (reformulated) for today. Oldie but still goodie. Is my very first fragrance. Vintage does smell better than the reformulated ones.

What is your 1st fragrance?

love that scent. in fact, I think it be my signature day scent. But I cheap lah, I buy sillage instead of SMW

 

[Craig123]

Today weather good.. can enjoy this Guerlain Homme edP. Fresh lime and light floral notes. Quite pleasing and not too heavy.

Will lookout for Sillage to try

if the sauvage range, EDP is my preference among the 4.

Has anyone tried ordering from parallel import website before? I saw many listings on carousell which is like 50% cheaper than retail. Is the quality acceptable?

They claimed that the products are just 2 to 3 years old instead of fresh that's all.

i only buy from store cos fuss free and authenticity.

Eau de Rochas for women - one of those marketed to women but definitely suits for men. Effortlessly fresh citrus for hot days.

Wearing Pure Black from Mandarina Duck, no longer can find and I am down to my last drops. Can smell vanilla.. not sweet and very pleasing.

I do buy alot from Carousell and keep my fingers crossed no fakes. Lol.

I bought a bleu de chanel parfum from a website called luxffinity for $109. Searched through youtube and reddit and cant tell it's fake.

My previous purchase was from another website that I've forgotten. The seller shipped the wrong order and reshipped the correct 1 and asked me to keep both.

Sometimes when things are too good to be true, I get paranoid lol.

But I am still using both la.. just pray that luck is on my side lo
