5 o'clock is awesome. Love it. Full bottle worthy.

However, since you can't discern the differences you might as well make your wallet happy by buying more affordable frags. Just a suggestion.

Was gonna post something similar.Save the money and start with simple cheap frags then move up to high end designers or niche.

But if you want "quality" then go ahead and try niche.

Guys..later u smell too floral ppl will think u abit guniang or not?

 

[yawyuan]

I'm a guy I just walk in and ask to try straight, nothing to be shy off actually. I go the 313 branch by the way. The sales lady is kind enough to let me try till I found the one I like.

I wan try the Victoria secrets scent but the shop looks intimidating. ..dun dare go in..then airport got body mist I feel not worth spend so much for water

Nice combination of designer and niche...kinda interested in Ambre Narguile and Double Vanille.Gonna try get a sample of each
I have Allure E.B..don't see it as a upper class event scent though BUT to each his own,what works the best for each skin and nose.

Great line up!

Nice!Homme Intense..I only have the Pininfarina Edition EDP concentration which I kinda regret buying and Encre Noire as a night out scent...that is unique.

All hail King Kouros!

All hail King Kouros!

The current trend where everyone is wearing sweet or vanilla based fragrance, I prefer Encre Noir with the unique mysterious dark forest feel

And yes, no fragrance can overpower King Kouros although Antaeus comes very close hahaa

Hahaha we should all have King Kouros in our collection.

Yea vanilla based frags are very popular..if it's not vanilla it's some kind of sweet fruity scents.I prefer spices,resinous stuffs.
I have a sample of Encre Noir,I love it so much so dark,deep & complex scent,I actually use it at times before going to sleep.

Good day to all.

New to perfume, got poison by this thread.
Wondering which bottle to get for my very very first one.

Had tried the recommended brand and those hot seller.
I came out with this thinking, immediately after spraying on paper.
All smells the same to me.

Tried clinique happy, the lady sprayed it on to her name card due to lack of tester paper.
So i kept it inside my pocket. After i went home i took it out and sniff it again.
Smells so different.

Today i gonna make my way down to escentials to look for serge lutens, five oclock. Anyone can recommend any bottle which is worth trying out?

Thank you.

L'eau Serge Lutens is a very safe fresh scent (but not worth retail pricing)
L'eau Froide
Daim Blond
Douce Amere (already retired into Paris exclusive)
La fille de Berlin

Recent releases are more towards mainstream market

Ever tried SL Ambre Sultan? Should give it a try since you like spices and resins....it has heavy incense at the heart as well
