To all the men or women yang nak belikan perfumes for their partner, here’s my personal review on some of the ones that I like. Ini adalah thread:

Let’s start with this Cartier. Some sort of woody scent, classic obvsly, mcm oud wood pun ada but tak. Too strong, suitable for formal occasion not for evryday use. Young people mostly tak prefer this but to me boleh tahan. 5/10

One of my favourite.Dunhill Icon. This one mcm manly, strong, citrus kind of scent. Jarang la ada yang sama dgn prfume lain. Honestly, you’ll nvr go wrong with dunhill, any dunhill. Affordable too. Smtimes org tak suka sbb kuat skit but i suka 8/10 (saja zoom sbb ada nama)

John Varvatos Artisan. This one dia mcm fresh. Can be your eveyday use not tht strong just nice ni set set dunhill. This one can be your bed time pfrume pun okay hehe. Affordable n nice la due to their variety of scents and botol diorang lawa even lebih kurang 6.5/10

Jo Malone, English Oak and Hazelnut. 8/10
(A lil bit sharp and a bit hard to pull off )

Acqua Di Gio Profumo. What can i say abt this? The aromatic, balsamic, spicy scent suit your day with those suit and tie. It feels v dominant and bossy and i like it that way. Long lasting 9/10

Hugo Boss Bottled Intense. An upgrade from the previous version, stronger and feels more compact. The scent of vanilla still there, with woody n warm spicy for your everyday use would be totally great 8/10

Mont Blanc Explorer. Arghhhh so good! It smells v aromatic n amber-ish. Quite strong but soft scent of sweetness for your daily use 8/10

Mont Blanc Individuel. The scent of freshness punches tgt with raspberry would be fantastic with your sharp looking outfit at your office. I imagine smone to be in a good smart wear walkin pass the others with confidence 8/10

Mont Blanc Starwalker. I made the review before but just let me do it again. Woody and citrus good for your daily use. Dia taklah aromatic tp more to like spicy, i guess. Not that strong tau 8/10

Versace Eros Flame, latest by Versace. Arghh!! Too good to me. It’s like a reformation of the original eros but this one comes with its spicy scent, aromatic and a lil punch of citrusy, lead to the creativeness of such smell 9/10

Dolce & Gabbana, The One. The most appealing scent tht i could say is tht the amber. Second one would be the tobacco. Its soft sweet kind of scent could suit any of your days. 8/10

Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous. As fabulous as it sounds, we could break the bank by just purchasing fragrance but this one is totally worth it. The scent is so aromatic, leathery with the punched of woody scent makes it fckin fabulous!! 10/10

John Varvatos Artisan Pure. The citrusy of mandarin blended together with the white floral scent provides you those tropical vibes, in the great sunny heat. I would recommend you to wear it in your day time 8/10

Issey Miyake Nuit D’Issey. Great day fragrance which will provide you with the opening of bergamot and grapefruit but with the main accord of incense, leather and wood. Good projection and longevity however it is still not the best.

Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature. A lighter version compared to the original one. The gourmand vibe brings you one of the most “delicious” fragrance note on the market. In addition, the tonka bean and the coffee base make it even sweeter until the end of the day

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche. Creamy juice with a luxury touch of its citrusy. High versatility with a good compliment factor. The notes of pink pepper and vanilla make it even better as you wear it through out your day

Layton by Parfums de Marly. The king of PDM, v sedctive v sexy and exclusive with its niche and luxury vibe. I love how the notes of apple cinnmon and vanilla well blended tgt to create this high end fragrance like this. You wont see it at any other fragrnces. Perfect (ty bb )

Dolce & Gabbana The One Grey. Latest flanker of The One, released in the end of 2018. They retained the original dna of the one but with a fresher touch on it. It keeps on gettin fresher and fresher, as it stays longer on ur skin. A go to frgnce if ur goal is gettin a cmpliment

Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male. Pear note is so dominant yet v rare in the community of men fragrances. Sweet vibe. If you’re eyeing for compliments and girls, then this is your choice! Monster, king of clubbin

Tom Ford Noir Anthracite. Latest flanker for noir collection, peppery and spicy, what you see is what you get. It smells like mineral which makes it so special as well. Casual scent

Terre D’Hermes. God of beauty, the woody vetiver nuances comes along with the orange and peppery notes, were v well blended. To me it is a v masculine yet dominant scent for a man. More like a businessman type of guy with suit or any casual wear

A Man Mugler. A warm spicy, gourmand-ish fragrance. I love how sweet and delicious it smells like and at the same time the balance of it makes it so special. The notes of caramel(amazing), coffee and patchouli. I love the opening

Well, im gonna add this to the collection list. My dad bought it anyway, arabian oud. That’s it. If you love oud, this one is quite overpowering so yeah. Anythg at ur own risk

CH Men Prive by Carolina Herrera. Boozy, sweet, spicy and leathery scent. As a man who loves leather, cardamom and rum, this one is a perfect “villain” fragrance to him. It reminds me of Sons Of Anarchy tv series idk why mybe due to the big bike that they ride?

Office For Men by @JeremyFragrance honestly ive never smelled smthg like this bfore some said it is identical to Aventus but to me, this is a masterpiece. Well crafted with the punch in the face opening and strong projection n longevity. Too perfect to be true. Compliment getter

Strong citrusy of bergamot, with synthetic touch of ambroxan. A fresh and clean fragrance for the day. Im glad to purchase this as it was a blind buy but jeremy convinced us all that it is super great and yeah, it is better than my expectation. Keep growing jeremy!

Paco Rabanne Invictus Onyx. Another blind buy, it is quite identical with the original flanker but this one comes with more marine-ish, more aquatic and fizziness in it. If you love the original flanker you’ll definitely love this one. So far this is the best in 2020

Armaf CDN Milestone. A marine, fruity, salty fragrance. Honestly this is a great purchase, if you want a similar vibe with Mil.Imp by Creed, this one worth a lot than spending tons of rggt for a weak prfrmin frags. Simple math, MI Creed+Good performance=Milestone

Azzaro Wanted by Night. This one is for the sophisticated man as it gives off a subtle yet harmonious scent to the wearer. By the prominent notes of tobacco, Mandarin and cinnamon, this craftsmanship results the scent to be of opulence and luxurious. Super sexy!

Bulgari Aqua Amara. “Bitter water”. The scent is unique with its bitterness which offers you its specialty. I see this to be a great unisex fragrance as soon as the neroli comes into play right after your first blast. Beautiful scent with a great touch of uniqueness. POWERFUL

CK One Shock. An entry level of tobacco fragrance. Honestly, I was expecting more but with the price, I redha. It smells synthetic a few moments after it stays on your skin and definitely I didnt enjoy that. But on the brightside, it is super cheap. CHEAP TOBACCO FRAGRANCE

JPG Le Male. Sweet, sexy but outdated. Definitely a great scent but the time is over. It gives off a delightful opening with the sensual playful sweetness, slowly turns itself to be sickeningly sweet on your skin. You would smell divine if it was 10 yrs ago, but 100% not today

His Majesty The Oud by Atkinsons. A good entry level for oud but you dont want too much oud. The oud is superbly sexy with the domination of tea and vanilla. If that is what you came for, then go ahead!

M7 Oud Absolu by YSL. This one is a citrusy oud scent. Another entry level oud if you are very new to this note. Performance is a lil bit compromised but if you’re looking for an everyday oud frags, then this one definitely great to check out!

Bulgari Black Cologne. A deep warm spicy fragrance with the domination of rum and chilli. If being creative and masculine is a part of your personality, then this fragrance might be one of your choice. Fantastic hidden gem

Rirana Spices Oud. The first blast straight away reminds me of sharp edges oud, with the touch of pepper and spices. It’s good but not the best. But with the price that they offer, it’s amazing! (Malaysia’s Niche Fragrance)

Gecks&Cov Royal Fougere. A good fougere fragrance with the superior note of lavender and citruses. The scent might be a lil bit piercing, at the same time resembles the air freshener (in a good way). Very affordable (Malaysia’s Niche Fragrance)

Lalique Encre Noire. Dark and mysterious vetiver scent. 99% vetiver makes you feel like an assassin. Super dark, full of depth and masculine! It couldnt get anymore masculine than this beast!

JPG Le Beau. Sexy coconut scent for men. The main notes of coconut and tonka bean create a smooth sweet sexy fragrance but in the coconuty way. Honestly, i prefer this one after ultra male. Average performance

Prada L’homme. Sexy clean soapy scent for men. It smells luxurious. Inoffensive yet v noticeable. Great compliment getter, smells super professional. Just go blind buy!

Mancera Cedrat Boise. It’s in the same vein as aventus. But i prefer this one over that so called king! Much fruity and woodsy, and of course, better in performance. Such an amazing affordable niche fragrance in the market. Go blind buy!

Mancera Red Tobacco. Super pungent in the opening, but gets sexier each time. This one is a beast fragrance, easy 10++ hrs longevity! The syrupy sweet tobacco in this fragrance really stands out and makes you the centre of attention in the room

Mancera Instant Crush. Sexy sweet unisex scent for everybody. I prefer this one more on women, as i see it’s leaning more towards them. The drydown of sexy sweet candy really projects beautifully around you. The opening is quite manly, but yeah try it out

John Varvatos Artisan Blu. Fresh and grassy. It smells watery with the prominent touch of green notes. The scent is masculine and versatile, and surprisingly, the performance is not bad. Just avergae. Sexy fresh scent for men!

John Varvatos Vintage. Another tobacco frag with the power touch of rhubarb note. Honestly, it’s a great everyday scent when it comes to tobacco. Sexy, mass appealing but with an average performance. It’s not a cloying tobacco frag trust me!

Montale Arabians Tonka. Ultra sweet fragrance by the note of tonka bean with added sugar. Despite of the non existent sugar in the note breakdowns, this fragrance is the sweetest in the middle eastern kind of way(bau arab). Worth the blind buy!

Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Extreme. Denser, sweeter with less peppery vibe compared to the original. I prefer this one more, with better longevity but slightly lesser in terms of projection. 100% sexiness in a bottle! Vanilla, tobacco and spices.

Guerlain Lhomme Ideal Cologne. Fresh bitter almond fragrance with the touch of creaminess. The scent is beautifully crafted, super fresh but not your typical shower gel fresh as this one is more special beacuse of the almond. A bit disappointed with the performance
