The Perfume Thread

[grizzly76]

Khamrah at $25 is a steal, same for those Odessey ones.

1 million will appear again
Always see the stock runs out and refilled.
I hope Royal will come in soon.

So far I see Pacco Robanne, JPG and Ferragamo perfumes running quite fast in Mustafa.

I see tourists whack a basket full of perfumes before. Mostly neighbouring countries.

Two Vietnamese guys hogging the shelves but ended getting a bottle of Dunhill Icon or something
No wonder the prissy guy the other day was commenting about the throughput of Mustafa
Was looking in vain for Lattafa's Oud for Glory but to no success

Khamrah at $25 is a steal, same for those Odessey ones.

Thanks for the heads up. Got 2 Khamrahs as birthday gift for friends while i blind bought a Armaf Odyssey Aoud for myself. No idea what it suppose to be a clone of. Also saw they finally lelong the Armaf Untold for $59 but won't recommend getting it. People who go nose blind to Iso E super will not smell anything out of this (also a characteristic of BR540 which Untold is clone of).

Ok so the Armaf Odyssey Aoud is supposed to be a clone of Montale Arabians Tonka. Its kind of also in the ball park of Oud for Glory/Oud for Greatness. Did a couple of sprays on my skin and the performance is slightly weak.

Edit: Ok i feel the Odyssey Aoud is a decent alternative to Oud For Glory. Performance is average but at $25 can just overspray or re-apply when needed. This kind of scent is not for everyone and if its too loud a performer, people around you might get turned off. So i think the Odyssey Aoud is a good middle ground.

Get Afnan's Supremacy in Oud if you can find it. To me its Oud for Glory on steriods.

I had Baroque rouge which is also clone of 540.
It's stronger than Untold which probably will put off some people.
It to me smells old school Like those old vegas Casino rich man kind of vibes.
Untold smells not as old school.

Oud for Glory very rare, if there's also a little only 1/2 a shelves. So far I only saw twice, price is also $25 range.
It's strong, you probably only need 1-2 sprays to last whole day.

I purchased a partial bottle of Armaf Untold off carousell and all i can smell is alcohol and latex glove. Thinking maybe just my luck to have gotten a bad bottle but one time i was at Jasina and they had the Untold on display for testing. Did a few sprays and exactly the same. Nothing but alcohol and rubber. I even went around getting people i know to test out my bottle and some say they smell sweet cotton candy, some say smells like cough syrup but most say they smell latex glove or nothing at all. So yeah....this was a weird one.

That time when the stock arrived I got to try the Untold, it leaves a patch of oil mark on my hand till I rub it off

If you want try Mustafa perfumes best is Weekdays sometimes they will put new test bottles.
Weekend either they got sprayed finish or lost its sprayer. Its either gone or on another bottle

Armaf Odessey nice ma?

Armaf Odessey nice ma?

There's 3 Odessey in Mustafa currently. One is Homme which can read the reviews below.
The other 2, Oud is stated above, the other seems like Odessey Tyrant Limited Edition still not sure what clone.

[rECKleSSfElla]

After further wearing of Odyssey Aoud, definitely feels like watered down version of Oud For Glory. I am ok with what i got for $25 but if i could find Lattafa Oud For Glory at the same price i would take the Lattafa over the Armaf without hesitation. Aurel is selling these new Odysseys for $35 which i think is not worth anymore.

 

[blazin]

That time I got Odessey Orange Sky from Mustafa.
Supposed to be JPG Scandal clone.
Quite good that one but I think still don't smell as class as the original.
Longevity also not as good.

I am thinking to buy JPG Le Male Le Parfum, I see a lot of reviewers rave about it but when I test in Mustafa, I found it okok only. Maybe just me
But I love Ultra Male, it's sold in Mustafa. Supposed to be discontinued overseas.

 

[rECKleSSfElla]

For Ultra Male, might as well just get Lattafa Ramz Silver. Ramz Silver costs sub $25 and its about 90% similar to Ultra Male. For Le Male Le Parfum, i tested it out b4 and to me its just less loud version of Ultra Male perhaps targeted at a more mature crowd. Again, don't think its worth the price its going for. But if you are interested, most places are selling Le Male Le Parfum for $100+ but last i checked, Tins & Bottles have it for around $97.

Odyssey Homme bottle i purchased from Mustafa

Looks as though the bottle is about to shatter. Obviously a manufacturing defect but no way to check since the exterior box is shrink wrapped. Very recent batch too with PD March 2023. Not sure if the juice in the bottle is affected but all i get is some weird sour-ish lavender smell. Maybe this is the reason why Mustafa is having fire sale for this at only $18. Would advise to avoid buying.

 

[rECKleSSfElla]

Spotted on my recent trip to Mustafa
- Lattafa Badee Al Oud(Oud For Glory) back on shelves for $25
- Badee Al Oud Sublime, which is a very recent release, available for $29
- Armaf Iconic and White Imperiale finally stocked and discounted to $59. Still expensive.
- Armaf Ventana going for $15. Pretty decent Dior Sauvage clone.
- A handful of older Lattafa releases being stocked(Ejaazi, Najdia, Ana Abiyedh). Think i tested out the lot of them and nothing really caught my eye.

Has anyone bought from this brand/local store bestperfume.store? He seems to have good reviews on carousell, specialising in making clones.

Not sure about this store. Just browsed through...nothing niche or exciting. You can try iman.sg or royaleparfumofficial from insta. I usually get from them...no complaints. Love the quality and their collection is huge

Yes still have stock for Khamrah when I was at Mustafa last Thursday.

 

[Hippopotas]

Thanks a lot! @rECKleSSfElla

 

[blazin]

Mustafa a lot Lattafa.
Fakhar Silver - YSL EDP clone.
Asad - Dior Sauvage Elixir clone
Oud for Glory - Oud for Greatness clone.

Armaf
Odessey Aqua - Invictus Platinum clone.

 

[blazin]

Blind bought Lattafa Sublime which has same presentation as Oud for Glory but Red.

It's smells Great. Fruity Rose.
Might lean more to female scent.

If anyone's looking for BR540 dupe, Zara's For Him Red Edition is pretty close and lasts pretty long
