The Perfume Thread

[kazuki666]

Btw, for those interested. I bought my Chanel Platinum Egotistic for $95 at Perfume Bar. I pestered them a few times for tester set, she keeps saying dont have stock. Finally she gave in, dig and found it for me.

Is Penhaligon's cologne worth the price they asking for?

 

[feralslash]

How would you guys rate the 3 scents below:
Hermes Bel Ami
Acqua di Parma Colonia
Dior Homme Intense

Currently using CK One. Looking to expand my range. Searching for scents suitable for office and able to last 8 hrs (and preferably well-liked by females )

aerolord: not sure about penhaligons as i haven't smelt any yet.

feralslash: i would recommend serge lutens chergui, try it out at a store first. i believe its available at tangs orchard or escentials at paragon. i haven't tried le labo but have heard good things, you can also try this out at escentials.

Departmental stores with Chanel counters would have it - Tangs Orchard, BHG etc.
Otherwise, boutiques at ION Orchard - Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent etc.

Do you guys wear different cologne on different occasions?
Got myself a gucci guilty homme and have been using it whenever i have a date at night. And how do you guys spray your cologne? Find the longevity quite weak, and the silage to be moderate. To me, it last about 1 to 2 hours, or am i doing something wrong here? I usually use 1 spray on my chest, and another on my neck.

Also, any good cologne to recommend? Would like to try different scent. Something with moderate silage would be sufficient, since i only want my partner to be the one smelling it, and not the whole train. As for longevity, is there anyway to make the smell to be more lasting?

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

this is very informative!
Can you sexpert advise me what should i get for daily use (work plus go out)? I always like something that last long because i cannot reapply them during the day.
I will definitely try D&G the one and I thought of replenishing YSL L'homme. plan to buy in duty free.

currently I have:
Yves Saint Laurent L'homme (left 30%)
Chanel Allure Homme Sport EAU extreme (left 80%)
Chanel Allure Homme Blanche (left 10-20%)
Bleu de Chanel (left 5%)

Finished:
Davidoff coolwater
Dior Fahrntheit
Chanel Allure Homme
