Hi folks. I've been revisiting some of the fragrances I've used during the late 80s-90s. Got Armani pour Homme and Aramis Tuscany. Too bad they're reformulated. Wow I love the Tuscany. So much so that I managed to hunt down an un-reformulated bottle. Also just got Guerlain L'instant edp.

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

you might want to change the edp to edt. EDT already very overwhelming on first whiff. With Singapore's hot weather, not sure if EDP would be a good choice. Just a suggestion.

Cheers

Chinatown I think there's a risk.

Mustafa would be safer

oh you have that as well? Hmm that's a good point, but is the edp that much more potent than the edt? Considering the price difference of only around 5 bucks, I'm a little worried about the longevity of edt :o

longevity? wa, no joke, the EDT lasts at least 8 hours on me. if you want, i still have some 1ml samplers bottles of EDT that i can mail you at 2 dollars each :s12:

wow 8 hours is quite a stretch. hmm alright I'll consider getting the edt instead, thanks for the help! If I had a little more time, I'd definitely get the samplers from you =:p unfortunately not this time

Just receive my Hermes Equipage... Very very very nice... Though this is a 70s perfume, the fragrance is really refreshing...

Went to Hermes boutiques, they haven't seen it for years... Glad I found it

Anyone know which shop has the most small bottles of perfume for sale?

It will be good to get the small bottles to try out first before buying the big bottles.

Just got a few fragrances from luckyscent...been trying to find a cheaper substitute for the TF Neroli Portofino.
They are indeed really very generous on perfume samples as stated by basenote forumers!

Hi there,

Boss #6 is not a fragrance with longevity to begin with. As long as the fragrance doesn't mutate its scent into something that really stinks or 'plasticky', it should be alright. As for D&S, I got my Banana Republic Black Walnut from them at Lucky Plaza basement for my collection and it seems alright though.
