The Perfume Thread

[x3dnd3x]

Elbow, interestg. Didnt knw ppl dab thr too,) hw many sprays?

Once each loh. I'll spray on the veins at elbow area then use wrist to rub. The rest is spray on wrist liao then rub.

I'm a smoker, after awhile the smell no more liao. So I'll just visit the toilet and dab abit of water on the places I've applied.

Is it actually okay to use female perfumes on men? I smelt some female ones, really like the smell.

I'm also starting to realise that most of the recommended perfumes here are more to the matured men or musky side. I tried those recommended ones, all have the cool water alike smell. Just that some smells nicer than cool water.

In the end, I bought CK Aqua. Prefer those fruity scent.

Gucci Floral smells damn nice but too bad, its also damn obvious it is a girl's perfume.

How does it smell?

 

[screws]

if youre looking fragrance with at least a very noticeable fruit note even on dry down. go with creed aventus (pineapple), or virgin island water (coconut / lime), millesime imperial (watermelon). i personally have them all but if you ask me which one is the best, i go with aventus coz my woman loves it.

if you want really fruity scents. you can try xeryus rouge by givenchy (i can smell oranges but also other fruits. in short very fruity to me) and byredo pulp (bergamot, red apple, blackcurrant). personally wouldn't wear them but you might like it.

if you still havent found what youre looking for with the fragrance i mentioned above, try mitsouko (peaches), rochas men (raspberry). you can also try hermes jardin. you might like it. i cant really remember how the whole line smells like but i know un jardin sur li nil since i got it for my gf. its like sitting in a garden under the hot sun. i like it. very green. very fresh. very sunny. its unisex so sometimes i also use it.

last but not the least maybe try hermes tdh (grapefuit, burnt orange) or chanel egoiste. its my everyday / workwear fragrance. also try paco rabane 1 million. its sweet (bubble gum, candy store). i personally like the dry down (leather, wood). my party / nightlife scent.

i find rochas man to be more of a coffee + lavendar scent.
would recommend Boss Bottled (aka No. 6), Diesel Fuel for Life, Costume National Scent / Scent Intense for designer scents.

For niche, you can try L'artisan Parfumeur's Mure et Musc (blackberries + musk) and Ananas Fizz (pineapple),
Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo series,
Creed Aventus, SMW, VIW, MI all quite good as well provided you can get a good batch.
Tom Ford Black Orchid as well since you dont mind feminine scents

dry down is definitely coffee but the initial blast is damn sugary and i get some raspberry. maybe because i think this is very close to the smell of chocolate cake with raspberry that i like to eat.

black orchid (chocolate) is damn good. in fact most of TFs offering is damn good, tuscan leather being my favorite. but then it better be really damn bloody good for the price that its asking. 400 for 100ml for private blends. you can get 2 to 3 great smelling perfumes with that money and you will still have enough change to pay a hooker to smell your pits.

Read that Creed has some batch issues?

though i read somewhere that creed have batch issues, mostly the aventus but personally i don't know. unless im given maybe different batches to smell and use, maybe i'll detect the difference. but then my nose isn't the best so as long as i enjoy the bottles that i have, i stop looking at the numbers printed on it.

Where to test all these you have just mentioned? I don't like those musky smell but prefer fruity smells. Btw, are all these long lasting? I'm a smoker.

 

[screws]

sephora and tangs have them.

what sort of fruity smell are you looking for? for me when i think of fruity, i think of sweet / overly sweet scents with hint of fruits in it.

any particular fruits you like to smell when you first spray it? any other notes you like to smell on your perfume? maybe a hint of leather, powder, sweet stuffs, or a smell of tobacco? most fragrances develop over time so you might like the smell initially but will find it sickening after a while.

Okay thanks. Will take a look.

Actually I have no idea as well. I'll just smell them and see whether I really like it. To me, as long its a nice fruity smell, I don't think I'll have any issues with them.

Don't mind me asking, what's the pricing like other than the Creed one?

Anyone using Salvatore Ferragamo Attimo Pour Homme?

I tried a sample vial - cant find any distinctive notes from the smell. Dont know if any hwz-ers have different views.

Sampled that once. The SA shoved it to me.
Not sure whether I tested on skin.
All I remembered was boring citrus. Didn't care for it. I tested F by Ferragamo as well (not sure whether it was free time or pour homme) and found it better.
