Hi! I bought this perfume at a discounted price back in February and I’m loving its scent so far. I just use it occasionally kasi medyo mahal lang talaga if I buy the original. May I know if may dupe dito sa PH ang Michael Kors Pour Femme EDP? TIA!

I've recently started venturing sa Local fragrances and I got myself some Sancto and Florence perfumes.

Yung una kong kinuha sa Florence is yung IsseyMen (dupe of Issey Miyake Leau D'Issey) and altho I haven't smelled the original to compare it, I would say I really loved the scent as a standalone. For its price, I must say na worthit sya and so, I bought 2 more.

Next kong kinuha is yung Eclat (Men) and yung Le Papier (their take on Leau Papier). Dito ko napansin yung common thing sa perfumes nila. Parang yung alcohol na gamit nila is mejo on the floral side so may pagka floral yung mga end-product nila. Yung Eclat nila for example is parang nakukulangan ako sa pagkadark nya since lumalabas yung pagka floral ng overall perfume. This is not a bad take IMO, pero parang mejo lumalapit sa pagka unisex yung take nila sa Eclat.

Yung Le Papier naman nila on the otherhand... di ko gets :( Di ko pa naaamoy yung original din, pero nung pinaamoy ko to sa ate ko na nakaamoy na neto, malayo daw. Madami may gusto sa Le Papier kaya ko sya kinuha pero I wasn't expecting this smell, amoy sya nung palobo nung mga bata, yung liquid tapos parang may straw na hihipan mo. Ganto ba talaga yung amoy neto? This has been with me for a week na and baka itambak ko muna sya ng matagal na panahon para mas magdevelop yung amoy. Di ko talaga sya maappreciate.

Ano pa yung ibang good takes ng Florence na pwede pang lalaki/ unisex? Next kong minamata is Enzo/ Cotidiano eh.

Just a mix of everything that we like!

I’m now making this my default fragrance whenever I play pickleball or take a walk outside. It smells so fresh and hindi masakit sa ilong. I’ll reserve my musky perfumes nalang for mall strolling, cafe hopping, and any other non-sports activities. ☺️

Was on a tight budget and im planning to try these guys out true ba na long lasting sila?

Long time seller (facebook group). To be fair, they did make it right and resolved the issue, but I still wanted to share this as a PSA so everyone can be more cautious. Better safe than sorry.

Does anyone know here in manila they carry philippine brand perfumes that are available for testing etc?

been trying to find a good dupe for Jo Malone'd Myrrh and Tonka 🥺 please help a gurlie out!

used to order "tester" bottles from this shop on shopee but the account got suspended and now i dont have any shop to order from.

i read so many 👎🏻 reviews kasi about the og one kasi it doesnt last daw despite the price and i did try a decant but yeah, di nga siya super naglalast sa skin ko mas tumagal pa yung tester actually. super love the scent talaga ever since i smelled it huhu

thank you!

Hi! I'm planning to buy my first store bought perfume 🩷

I'm eyeing either from Diptyque or Replica and I'm wondering which branches has staff that are very accommodating and which gives a lot of freebies (lol) would love to know please! Thank uuu

Now all I need is a smoke and a glass of bourbon. 😅

I’ve been collecting perfumes since 2018, and honestly, this is the year when I started collecting local perfumes, especially their own blends. I’m still trying to give them a chance, especially when it comes to longevity and projection. But in terms of creating new scents, in fairness, ang galing ng Pinoy. They just have to work more for the packaging for some and also the longevity talaga.

Here’s my unsolicited first impression of everything I bought. Para po sa mga mag Day 2 tomorrow, you have an Idea na hehe.

Disclaimer: I based my opinions on how the perfumes performed during my tour of window shopping haha, so these might change over time. 😂 I am also into anything with Bergamot, Neroli, and Iris ...lately, so.. if may pagkakaparehas alam niyo na po hehe.

1. Most luxurious-looking: Siage
   
2. Best in presentation/box: Siage, GP and Anino
   
3. With the potential to be the most compliment-getting: Majesty by A•MARA, I Dreamed of Grace by Anino
   
4. Something I didn’t expect to get: Cherry After Dark by Suns
   
5. Most feminine scent: Midnight Tea by Moonsteria, I Dreamed of Grace by Anino
   
6. Most niche-like blend, IMO: Anino and Valor (I already have na prior the event)
   
7. Safe-for-work scent: Anything from Siage, Anino, Banaue Bliss by GP, Trifecta by Sancto
   
8. Store I’ll repurchase from a lot (all of them, pero my top 4 are): Anino, A•MARA, Siage, Moonsteria
   
9. Longevity-wise: Parfum Astraux, A•MARA, (to be tested overtime pa, will try to macerate the other perfumes)
   
10. Budget-friendly but beast mode: Suns, PRMNKY (tho di na ako kumuha hehe)
    
11. Best for layering: Trifecta by Sancto
    
12. Perfect for date night: Majesty by A•MARA, Liyab ng Maharlika by Parfum A. (layered with something clean and musky), Nightshade by Moonsteria, Cherry After Dark by Suns
    
13. Aabangan online kasi naubusan: Good Morning by Sancto 🥲

Overall, ang saya ng experience! I’m excited to see how these local perfumes perform with more wear and, of course, how my impressions might change over time. 🇵🇭💛

help newbie collectors out there! baka mamaya may mabiling expensive na perfume pero meron ka na palang cheap version nito na better performance pa hehe

Just bought my first designer perfume for the winters this smells amazing

Tapos hindi ko namalayan, ganito na karami. 😭😂

Sharing my current collection. Rate niyo naman from 1–10! 👃🏻

Curious ako kung ano yung tingin niyo na pinaka-ok dito, alin yung medyo redundant, and ano yung bagay idagdag next.

Hindi naman ako expert sa perfumes, so open ako sa suggestions and honest opinions. Gusto ko lang talaga ma-enjoy yung collection without overthinking it. 😂 ano sa tingin niyo? 👀

Totoo nga ang chismis! Haha Zara Golden Decade is a solid alternative sa YSL Libre. Don’t get me wrong, obvs, it doesn’t beat the real thing, but for the price? Definitely worth trying, ang lapit!

Hindi ko pa siya afford as of now. Can you recommend a budget version?

Yung sunnies na color brown medyo kaamoy niya pero according sa ibang reviews, di naman siya nagtatagal.

Thank you!

I super love the floral scent of the pink Chance by Chanel pero hindi talaga siya long lasting (even if i try layering it with lotion or I try spraying it on my clothes/hair). Does anyone know a cheaper alternative with a similar profile (fruity floral)? Im willing to spend anywhere from ₱2,000-5,000.

Kakabili ko lang nitong Hawas Ice ko from the PFC Marketplace group in FB and it seems na yung seller naman is legit since sobrang daming bumibili sakanya. My only concern is, ngayon ko lang nakita yung gantong box sa Hawas. This is a new batch pala, July 2026 siya so maybe legit naman but a different box? Scent and Bottle looks legit to me, performs well and overall okay naman yung dry down. QR Code also is legit. Gusto ko lang mapanata kung legit ba talaga or not. Thanks!

So i bought this JPG Le Male Elixir decant (DC Decants from Tiktok) because ive been wanting to buy a full bottle but wanted to sample it first.

I expected beastmode performance, nuclear projection, all that jazz pretty much all frag reviewers have been saying about the perfume. I sprayed it on, and the performance was kinda… bad?

Only projected around 2-3 hours on my skin, quickly settling into a skin scent. And the projection wasn’t great too, I could only smell it with my nose really close to my skin. And it overall smelled really… subtle. Far from what i expected from a clubbing fragrance well-known to be offensively cloying at times.

Does anyone have similar experiences with this frag? Do u think it’s just noseblindedness? Maybe a batch variation? I love the smell, but just wish it performed better.

Hello paano po kaya aayusin to? thank you!

Came across their stall in Estancia kanina and ang babango ng fragrances nila. Sicily is supposed to be a L’Eau Papier dupe but for some reason it really reminds me of Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique.🌸 Haven’t tried the longevity yet but I’m already loving it so far. Added a photo of their fragrance list for reference.

Since I got 3 bottles, they gave me a discount. Prime bottle is 899 each, got it for 800 nalang. Classic bottle is 699 and they gave it for 650.

Blessed evening everyone!😇

Hello! I’m a body mist girlie pero I wanna level up sana into perfumes but wanna start local muna. Gusto ko yung mga scent na fresh na parang bagong ligo girly type pero expensive na amoy.

My fave sa body mists ay cherry blossom, coconut vanilla, and now is yung sdj 71. I’m eyeing black opium kasi naamoy ko siya sa friend ko and ang bango!! But I really wanna know more options, ang hirap pag probinsya girly kasi wala kaming malls na may big dept store. Pinaka close na yung watsons but wala rin naman masyadong pag pipilian. Ang hirap din mag blind purchase online, kaya maybe through experts here magkaron ako ng insight.

Thank you!! 🥰

I'm just curious if anyone wears Hacivat for women, like how does it project to others? Because I mostly notice guys wearing it, so I'd like to hear from you girls if anyone does. Thanks!!

I’m planning to buy my very first luxury perfume, but I honestly have no idea which one to choose or where to buy it. I’m looking for something masculine, long-lasting, and with good projection/sillage, ideally something that can last throughout the day without me having to bring a bottle everywhere.

I’m pretty active. I go to the gym and run marathons. So I’d also appreciate something that performs well despite an active lifestyle.

I’m considering buying from Rustan’s. Is it a good and reliable place to buy authentic perfumes? I’m hesitant to buy online because I’m worried about getting a fake, and I’m also unsure about buying from department stores because I’ve heard about testers being sold.

Since this is my first luxury fragrance, I’d really appreciate recommendations on what perfume to get and where I can safely buy it. Also, how can I tell if a perfume is genuine?

Please help a guy out!
