I always bring my perfume out so it doesn't really bothers me. As long I can't smell anymore, I'll go toilet spray.

Wow, agree and will tux to get the small bottle version from the promoter so that I can bring out. =:p

What is wrong with those atomizer at 7-11 store? Any difference with those online?
those sold in convenience stores are much more expensive. easily over $10. can get them for about $3 in qoo10

Review doesn't seem that good though. :(

what review? to me, it serve it's purpose. not gonna spend $15+ just for a small bottle spray.

Actually I asked, most of the fruity scent doesn't last as long as fresh or musky ones. The SA at Hermes section(forgotten his name), told me alot of things. He said fruity scent don't spray on wrist or elbow. Just neck and behind the ears will do because it would change the scent when its on the wrist and elbow.

Fruity/Citrus fragrances usually do not last long due to the oil's volatile nature which is why they're commonly found as top notes however a good blend with decent fixatives will prolong these notes.

"Musky" fragrances usually lasts longer because synthetic musks are by itself a fixative.

I dont' find that the scent changes that much on where it's applied or that it's noticeable for that matter but it does affect longevity and sillage.

I guess it also depend on the reaction between the perfume and the body, right?

Some uses certain perfume can last longer but some cannot.

I find those sold at qoo10 have a much higher evaporation rate than the actual travalo. I personally prefer decanting into 5ml atomisers. It's a tiny hassle but no way am I putting my tom ford into those travalos :D

I have no idea on that. I also don't find that the scent changes much too when applied on the area mentioned by the SA who attended to me but I must say his knowledge of colognes quite imba though.

I remember seeing Sa Sa selling the normal ones. To me, certain products I rather just follow the crowd instead of getting the cheaper ones and oh yeah, Qoo10.sg does sell atomisers at a very cheap rate instead of the usual ones you see in stores of SG.
