The Perfume Thread

Shameless plug:
I have extra 2 L'instant de Guerlain Extreme for sale. Commonly refered to as LIDGE. It together with Dior Homme Intense is known to be one of the best offerings in the designer range.

Its a gourmand chocolately type of fragrance that is a sure winner. Not to forget its longevity, can last a whole day with one spray!

Asking $100 (slightly negotiable if you can deal at my convenience)

Grats on your purchase man!

Yes there should be ... but it won't be cheaper than local shops e.g. Perfume Bar.

Price gap very big? If not I just grab for DFS..

Walan.. guess I go chinatown see lo.. I find Dior intense too flowery for work. The vanilla smell like a inappropriate

Yes if you are purchasing tester bottles. (Same thing except no fancy box. Some testers doesn't have a cap - juice won't evaporate, only exit is the sprayer)

Tester bottles are cheaper than retail sets by at least $20 ..
And the Chanel testers I've seen have their caps.

Simply comparing retail sets.. I'm not exactly sure of the price difference.

But should be cheaper outside. Grab the prices outside and then go in DFS compare.
If cheaper, BUY

Excellent work scents:

Bleu de Chanel - popular with ladies, smell depict authority and masculinity, very versatile as well

Terre d'Hermes - earthy orange, maturity and manliness in a bottle

Versace pour Homme / Allure Homme Sport - smells fresh and pleasant, more youthful

Dolce & Gabbana The One - projection is light, so it is not overpowering.. smells fruity and manly, very interesting fragrance. very popular with ladies as well.

Yves Saint Laurent L'homme - very very inoffensive, pleasant scent. Sweet, light ginger smell with soft vanilla base. Smell a little masculine due to certain wood notes inside.

Try these for a start

Anyone can recommend me on what might interest me? First Cologne I bought is Mont Blanc - Legend. I don't really know how to describe the smell but it doesn't seems to last long enough for the day. Need to respray 2-3 times throughout the day

Currently I am using Anna Sui's Secret Wish Love the summer fresh garden smell. My bf loves it too

I bought for my boyfriend Burberry's "The Beat". The smell is subtle enough for men, but can last till after work (6pm). Should be quite affordable (I got it from Far East Plaza!)!

Hope that helps!

i just bought Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme.. i normally spray 3 times at the neck area but unfortunately, the smell doesnt last... at most 1-2 hours. any tips on spraying or is it I have no chemistry with it?

Possibilities:
Olfactory fatigue: To check, ask people you are with whether they can smell you or spray it on your wrist and test it throughout the day (this way you won't be constantly exposed to the scent)

Skin + climate: Fragrances don't last long on dry skin and hot & humid weather.

Unfortunately, if it doesn't last, its most likely no chemistry.
What you can do is (1) Moisturize your skin before spraying (2) Carry travel atomizers and refresh the fragrance as and when you feel its fading.

Last time they quoted me $98.

They do carry quite a few, I've seen Egoiste, Platinum Egoiste, AHS, AHSEE, BdC. I'd believe they carry most of the popular ones

100ML for that price

 

[donger123]

100ML for that price

If it's true then I'm most likely gonna get it. Is the place legit? Never actually heard of chanel testers being sold

 

[kazuki666]

Need to replenish my Chanel Platinum Egoiste again, just finished my 2nd bottle. Can someone advise where can I get the 100ml for a good price? I don't mind if its tester set so long its the real thing. I have been getting my fragrance from Bencoolen, but I feel the prices have been going up every time lor...
