HM is definitely a unisex scent. If someone were to do a blind test on me for the first time, I will definitely classify it as a feminine scent. The fact that HM markets it as a Men's scent gives me a great excuse to wear it :D.

I got a 90% full bottle of 100ml EDT from some bro over here. I also have some small 1ml spray samplers left. You want one? Can mail one to you if you are keen to try.

Edit: Some additional thoughts. HM is a very long lasting and powerful scent, in fact, the strongest scent that I've ever worn. It will last one whole day on you, no joke. Its not a scent for people who are into light fragrance, kind of esoteric. Its cheap online too, one bottle cost around USD $30 excluding shipping. Maybe that's why none of the perfume retailers in Singapore carry it, low profit margin maybe?

To summarise, sweet and attention-grabbing.

dont bother looking. no perfume retailers in Singapore carry hanae mori. I spent 1 week trying to find after getting aeroplaned by some guy here who wanted to sell me his used HM. End up another bro had a used bottle and he sold it to me.

I have some sampler 1ml spray bottles coming in the mail soon. You want? I can sell you. One sampler $2.50 :s12:

Looks like this.

My favorite is John Varvatos Artisan. Using it as daily scent. Its a light scent, fresh and very citrus-y, even more than Jo Malone's Orange Blossom. Sadly, it isnt that long lasting, about 3-4 hours max for me, but I bought it for its scent anyway.

Can be found at most perfume stores in Singapore. Its not expensive in its class. I think $75-ish for a 125ml bottle. The bottle looks good too with the rattan!

Yeah. I like the Artisan too.

Will check if amazon carry this too and cheaper :D

For guys I would recommend Fahrenheit By Christian Dior. The scent is amazing, long lasting. Almost every department stores have it. For girls depending on your preferences, I personally love Issey Miyake, woody scent. You can check out the price at Mustafa, pretty cheap!

Gonna buy from fragranceX, but worried about delivery time. With the free shipping code, they delivery by USPS or DHL right? Not so worried about DHL but whether USPS will take a long time.. Any experience with them?

Oh and, they got the 10% coupon and free shipping coupon, but I think only can utilize one. Perhaps it's more economical to use the free shipping coupon cos it covers more unless you order a lot.

And I'm getting Hanae Mori HM edp, tgt with L'homme by Yves Saint Laurent edt. First time purchases, any comments? :D
