Bro, go and sniff 212 VIP Men also. It smells super similar to 1 million but some say more 'sophisticated'. I agree. However, they are not my style so I didn't buy.

I have. None of them speak to me.
But if I had to choose one, it would be Burberry Touch. Never Burberry London (even though it is supposed to be highly regarded. I hate it ).

I see. I think I have tried Burberry touch last time but it never last as long. The smell for Burberry London is not good? How about Burberry Brit?

I am using the Mont Blanc Special Edition, it is very spicy for a start when you spray, the smell is stronger than the normal edition and it will become a smoothing smell after a few hours. I just find that it does not last long.

 

[xtreamzz]

i see.isit very different when compared to the normal MB legend?

The smell is much stronger and spicy than the normal MB Legend.

hmm i feel that 1 million may be a little too 'playful' for me. what would suit a guy in 20s (i dont club so not looking for a clubbing fragrance)

Slowly go and smell and see which one suits you. Frankly, everyone's preference is different.

Ya. Too subjective. Don't know what u like. Citrus, woody, oriental, fougere, aromatic, gourmand? For what occasion? Light and airy, or dark and powerful? That's why there are tens of thousands of frags. Go smell a few then look up fragrantica.com to get an idea of what u like and don't like. Then concentrate on the group that u like the most. Or if you want something that won't offend anyone and don't care what it smells like just get Aqua Di Gio or Cool Water.

In fact, I have a new bottle of Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme 100ml for sale at only $40. Go sniff that and see if you like it.

Perfume Scent For MAN Review -IMO-

Sorry if this gonna be lengthy. Perhaps I can contribute my review on the perfumes as discussed in this thread. All are based on my experience selling to customers. I'll breakdown in points; age group, scent type in my own words, best time/occasion to be used, and price u guys can get for.

For longevity it really depends on alcohol level and your body chemistry. Same goes for perspiration/body odour. Some perfume just blends well with perspiration some don't. Don't wanna go so deep on the theory as well. Sometimes theory not cun.haha! So I do not wanna judge and touch on that point.

Just a note, Eau De Parfum (EDP) are stronger than Eau De Toilette (EDT). EDP are usually women perfume. Not that I know of for Man. Share if you guys found one. Man usually EDT or EDC - Eau De Cologne (rarely). EDC usually woody scent.

PR 1 million man
Age: Young, hippy. (mid 20s to mid 30s)
Scent: Sweet, woody, and spicy.
Time: Night. You definitely wanna use it in the club. This can cover the smoke smell. Very highly recommended for party goer.
Price: S$80.00 - 100ml

Givenchy Gentleman Only
Age: Professionals and Executives (office, sales person, managers etc.)
Scent: Sweet, woody. Same range as 1 million but has more flavour to it.
Time: Day and Night. Never spray so much on this one as it is very concentrated. Very suitable for office usage and will cover odour like smoke and sweat that sticks on shirt. But if u go Seoul garden the bbq smell will still kill your perfume no matter what!
Price:S$80.00 - 100ml

Burberry Touch man
Age: Young (20s - Masculine)
Scent: Fresh and a little note of wood.
Time: Day. Very soothing and light. This perfume will be humbling on you if you don't prefer much attention. U can smell it only when u sit, or with movement of hands if u get what i mean. It's not like someone can just smell instantly when u pass by.
Price: $58.00 - 100ml

Burberry London Classic man - refer to maroon packaging, not the cloth one.
Age: Young adult - Very Mature and 'intellectual' scent
Scent: Honey note and goes well with cigarette/wine.
Time: Night. It's very suitable when u go for dinner, and highly recommended if you're a heavy smoker. Also reckon if u work in boutiques and indoor grounds.
Price: $60.00 - 100ml

212 VIP Man
Age: Mid age (20s to 30s)
Scent: Powdery and fresh base. most 212 perfumes has the same base. If u like 1million, Black Xs, Bulgari BLV man, u'll like this.
Time: Night. Even if u put extra, I feel it doesn't overwhelm the and won't give that headache effect on the ppl around u. Good for party-goer! this one pass by confirm can smell.
Price: Not in stocks at the moment. I have 212 man and 212 man ice. Maybe u guys can share the price outside.

Mont Blanc Legend
Age: Young adult (Executives, sporty)
Scent: Fresh, masculine and aquatic. If u like this u'll also accept Starwalker, Acua di gio, Essenza, Polo sport, CK one, Coolwater, Bulgari Extreme etc. I classify this as general, very safe and humbling scent. But can be typical too because it is one of my bestseller perfumes. Very good for outdoor and especially in Singapore climate - damn humid!
Price: $65.00 (left v limited in stocks and I'm sure if u wait a lil longer, price will drop. Will update u guys once I restock with better pricing.)

Mont Blanc Legend Special Edition
Sorry can't comment on this. I do not carry this and have yet to try.

*Unique perfumes
Metrosexual: Clinique Happy For Man (DFS cheapest so far), Lancome Hypnose (Discon in Sg).
Mature: Ralph Classic, Fahrenheit, Fendi Fan di Fendi.
Greek: YSL Kouros, JPG Feur Du Perfume, Juicy Couture Dirty English.
Signature perfumes (You will have this 'This is Familiar' kinda thinking when u smell this on someone.) - Issey Miyake, Fahrenheit, Mont Blanc Individual, Burberry London Classic, Burberry Brit, Diesel Only the Brave, Unforgivable Sean John, Terre D' Hermes, 212 man, and Clinique Happy for Man.

There u go guys. leave me feedbacks. Cheers!

A very good and detailed writeup on various popular perfume, guess each individual will have to try out themselves to see which one suits them most.

Which one are you after? As far as I know, in Singapore, only Escentials has Creed. Besides buying online from perfumestore.sg

If you are interested to do a split let me know.
