The Perfume Thread

I am looking for YSL Kouros miniature, anyone know where I can get it?

I tried searching for it at those shops in Lucky Plaza but cannot find it.

I give up on the miniature in the end and decided to hoot the 100ml, no regrets though the fragrance is different on the test paper compared to body.

I think you have to call them to provide your CC details last time, not sure about the procedures now..

Thanks... emailed them but did not receive any reply to date... anyway, I read that they stop shipping to most countries outside Europe. Guess have to try my luck next time I go on vacation.

managed to try mont blanc's legend intense and legend

the former has a sweeter smell compared to the latter, the legend might be more suitable for work(?)

agree on intense being sweeter (weird).. so still prefer original legend but longevity sucks..

Any Armani Code lovers here? I found a great deal today in the most unexpected of places.

Yue Hwa departmental store have a perfume counter and they were selling a 50ml Armani Code for only $49 o.o

In comparison, their 75ml bottle costs $82. I don't know whats up with the pricing, but I couldnt resist!

I'd take it with a pinch of salt, the pricing. Are you sure its authentic?

I own fake bottles and real bottles of Armani Code. Can confirm that its authentic. Maybe I'll put up some comparison later.

Reason i bought fake bottles to try is that I find the scent of Code very enticing. But the bottles themselves are more expensive than other fragrance T_T.

Fake vs Real

Note the color of the box. Fake boxes have all different shades of black. Authentic boxes come in a very navy-ish tone of black. There is embossing on the real box, no embossing on fake box.

Real vs Fake

Note the base of the perfume tag. The real sticker is printed with a shimmy silver raised ink, very fine and pops up. The fake sticker is printed with normal flat white ink

Real vs Fake

Real bottle caps are heavier than fake bottle caps. Real bottle caps snaps onto the bottle perfectly. Fake bottle caps cant snap on perfectly.

The retailer in Yue Hwa is Bonjour Cosmetics. I havent heard of them selling fakes before, so i'm not too wary about that aspect.

Edit, I know the fake market pretty well. Had some work in China previously and got to know about those fake perfume manufacturers. Some of them imitate the originals very well, some very poorly.

kudos for the effort, appreciate the comparison and experience! maybe its because its enticing that it gets its costly price?

Wow, I did not expect perfume to have fake as well, this is truly shocking. Guess buying from the popular distributor like Jasina will be more safe.

Hi guys,

just got Amen by Thierry Mugler, love the chocolaty scent after a few hours of wearing it. To me, it almost smells like cocoa butter,... is it good idea to layer it with cocoa butter so that I can get more of the dry down earlier ? Anyone tried this ?

 

[sympathys]

anyone tried before the new perfume by Kenneth cole, mankind?

smells wonderful
