Kouros copy? It's not that soft bro (maybe that's counterfeit effect)

You don't like Citrus pinching frags it's evident why you rejected issey (but it throws citrusy punch for first few minutes)

you like sweet go for Lacoste red (assuming you are 20ish)

I am 27 ,,,,,,,,,,,,

It's winter. Time to start searching for some good scents.

My "go to" scent curve is for the spring/summer. I recently bought L'homme by YSL, it is really good, but doesn't last on my skin at all. No one can seem to smell it, not even me.

I have used two bottles of La Nuit by YSL this fall. Excellent Scent. But time to try something new.

Last winter I got Body Kouros by YSL, which to me was the best smelling scent out of all that I have tried. I am thinking of getting it again, but want opinions for something else first?

I want something that smells damn good, and projects well. Something girls love does not hurt either . Availability is not a issue. Under $50-55.

i have also heard good reviews about kouros but i got its copy dont know it smell similar to original or not??????????????

I've looking everywhere for an odorless deodorant, because 1) I cant afford to buy those cologne set thingies with deodorant and what not, and 2) it feels stupid to wear a scented deodorant and a cologne together.

I saw one from Nivea a few years back, but its no where to be found at any of the shops I have visited in Sialkot and Lahore.

Well I am not sure if you are talking about "BODY Kourus" or the Orginal named "Kourus". Because the two are nothing alike. I have not used Kourus but I have used Body Kourus.

Now as far as Body Kourus is concerned it is very sweet but not "cheap" sweet. It smells sexy and yummy...lol. It is amazing. Love it. If by "soft" you meant slightly femalish then you would be right as sweet scents can be asscosiated with females. But make no mistake, it is still a scent for men and it manly enough. It costs around $35. It is made by YSL.

Since you can test all these frags easily (coffee beans and then a test strip haha!)

- Jacques Bogart - Bogart Pour Homme
- Rive Gauche pour Homme
- Chanel Platinum Egoiste
- Pour Monsieur EDT concentree by Chanel
- Dior Homme Intense
- Burberry London


and Exotics (for a trained nose only)

- L'INSTANT DE GUERLAIN POUR HOMME EXTREME (On my wish list)

- Antidote by Viktor & Rolf

lol.

Those are some excellent scents, but I fear that the majority are suited towards a rather older gentleman. I am 18. Would I be able to pull them off? I am curious of Burberry London, but I read some reviews and it has issues with longevity?

I'll go test some of them out, especially London and DH Intense.

Burberry is too girly no matter which you cut it

Really? I have looked up some reviews of London, seems like a decent scent?

Kouros is also made by YSL and its even more expensive and more famous

So i bought Lacoste White from KSA for SAR 260 (6630 PKR) and it lasts for 2 days and counting for me. Although its expensive but I am happy with the purchase.

Later from Denso hall Karachi i bought Jaguar Classic Amber and David Off Silver Shadow (not yet tested )

By the way can u quote the prices of classic amber and silver shadow? and any good reason of buying these perfume

 

[LordIT]

I went out to test a few fragrances last night and got Boss Bottled. It has just the right amount of sweetness to make you go AHHHH-MMMMMM, but not too much that you get high blood sugar. Not too complex either, so a pretty safe buy imo.

Also tested Body Kouros, Hypnose Lancome, and a couple others. La Nuit was out of my budget for this month, so I might get it the next. For some reason, I couldnt smell Body Kouros at all :/..

@K3yser A-Men by Thierry Mugler is Rs. 4800 before bargaining in Lahore. I wanted to check it out, but decided not to since its a hardcore-ish winter frag and Lahore is still warm-ish, even though its halfway through December.

Look no further. lasts the entire day and night, leaves no stains and will never overpower your cologne.

By the Way anyone has ever tried Nautica Perfumes????????? They are most popular on Amazon

 

[assasin42o]

^^ I got Nautica Voyage from Amazon. It was really good, and most liked EDT in Nautica. But it resembled to Chrome alot.

Hey Shahid Bhai, since you seem to be the expert around here. What is your opinion about Allure sports by Chanel? Is it good more people belong to 20-25 age group? Also please recommend me some other colognes.

From which shop u bought kindly quote the name is it from the one that Sevolution mentioned? And I heard from my frien about silver shadow he was also recommending it

I do not know the shop name exactly (as i purchased them in hurry) but if you enter in the cosmetics market its the First fragrance shop on your right side (remember i am talking about the passage inside the market which is very narrow and there is very less space). After i got the scents i went to some other shops in market to check the authenticity of the fragrances and all the other shopkeepers told me that if i purchased them from the shop which i mentioned to them, they are real.

So far, i liked classic amber more then Silver Shadow as Amber is lil bit more stronger then other. But both of them are not over whelming but they are lasting (as per shop keeper).

Ok

So, I was out for a daily driver cologne for winter.

Tested few frags and stuck between

- Dior Homme Intense
- Dunhill Pursuit

ended up buying

​

Stays longer on me. Warm/Smooth vibe with a shot of citrus at start. 9/10 from my side

Why i chose this over Dior Homme Intense. Price only and Dior stays longer than Dunhill (48hours on a fabric still going good)

Got this for Rs. 2300 only from Bolton Market.
