The Perfume Thread

[DorianSix66]

DFS inside T3 check-in area have the 4 Un Jardin. I personally would choose Sur Le Toit if I can only choose 1. Very fresh and garden flowery smell, very close to smelling like a woman but the heart is woody so a man can pull it off...

Mediterrnee smells like someone had spilled spices in a spanish tapas restaurant.

The other 2 is just like average and not worth remembering...

Hmm there are a lot of rave reviews on Sur le nil and someone said Mousson was the better one...

Potion smells "arabic" due to the strong cinnamon and touch of rose but it will dry down significantly.I love it due it being subtle...who the hell can stand strong cinnamon or even cloves,I can't.

You mean Man Pure (white bottle)? Quite generic and boring fresh scent iirc
havent tried the re-release yet as I dont think its available here

Aww thought it would be nice to have it for reviewing purpose.

My fave is Un Jardin Sur Le Toit. Was interested in Sur Le Nil for a mango note but sadly it doesn't smell great to me. Jean Claude Ellena himself said Apres la Mousson is one of his best works. At the same time he doesn't understand why Terre D'Hermes is the best seller for Hermes. Goes to show that when it comes to frags (as in all things in life) ymmv. Rock whatever way you like. Rock on!

I shall look into Sur Le Toit then.Now that reminds me that I need to get that sample of Terre D'Hermes else I can't do my next review.

Classic stuff!

I just tried layering Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey with a little of One Million and it really smells damn heavenly right now. Minus the top notes, which I agree both frags have top notes which are too sharp for my liking.

Anyone has any experience layering? any suggestion to mix and match?

Airport is good only for exclusive and controlled brands like Chanel, Amouage, etc where you cannot find them anywhere and hard to buy online with reasonably cheaper price.

If you can find a perfume in Mustafa or Chinatown, it would prob be cheaper to get them there or online

Sup bros!

I'm selling off this frag that I don't have an occasion to use and I can't actually get into due to how the scent develops(mint,geranium,rum).

Guerlain Homme Intense Pininfarina

It's a limited edition collector frag from Guerlain.I bought for about 65-70 bucks,only used for testing roughly about 5-6 sprays.Still have the box if you want it.

Letting go for about $50 flat.No trades.PM me if interested.

If I want to experiment,the layering choice would be to have one "light" fragrance and one "heavy" fragrance.The "heavy" will be the base while the "light" will be layered over it.

But using frags over frags kinda not my thing.I probably would use pure single note frag or oils and layer them with the frag of my choice if I feel the frag is lacking in terms of scent.
