UP natin yung question. sana may sumagot..

No.

 

Do not buy scents and perfumes from cash n carry, shoppesville, virra mall, etc. It's cheap, but they're just knock-offs. Not the original stuff. All made in fukcin' China. It's so easy to clone scents. All you need is a good chemist, and almost all scent notes are synthetic. It's so easy to print labels. The bottles they get from emptied originals.

 

If you want to buy originals, the safest bet is to buy from Rustan's. They are the authorized dealers of so many perfumes. Also there's now a Jo Malone here (in Greenbelt), a Hermes, a Chanel. Of course you can buy safely in Paris, or Milan.

 

Either get the original, or else patronize local. Bench, I guess, has a perfume or cologne line. So with Afficionado, or Penshoppe, I think.

Don't go for fakes. Go original, or go local.

This is true. When I was in college a few years ago, I loved the scent of Lacoste Red so when I ran out I've tried to buy a "tester" from Cash and Carry. I thought it was original because the bottle was similar and so was the opening note of the scent. But the scent did not even last for an hour which was strange because I distinctly remember that with the previous one I had the scent would stay in my clothes even until I get back home from school. After I bought an original from the department store I tried to compare it with the one I bought in C&C and the difference between the two were obvious.

 

If you're going to try local, Oxygen and Memo has a few good scents when I last passed by their stores.

 

I'm currently about to empty my Versace Man Eau Fraiche and looking for something to replace, any suggestions?
