I blind bought Khamrah 2 months ago ahead of the cooler weather. Been wearing that and FA Liquid Brun on cooler days.

Liquid Brun is a compliment beast.

I’ve got too many frags. Thanks for reminding me about LB, going to go spray some now 😀
 
Anybody interested in some Acqua Di Parma powder soap x 3 plus 3 x Hand Cream (30ml) everything for dirt cheap. R800 Hardly used much. The hand cream normally retails for around £38

Think it's Fico Di Amalfi and one other I think

Throughout my ~50 years I have found that the best cologne is having a shower 2x daily. Green sunlight laundry soap. Onion sack folded and stitched, as a scrubber.

I immediately associate somebody stinking of cologne, even if it's expensive, to bad hygiene. Human psychology - "why did they use so much? Maybe as a cover-up for bad body odour?"

You can't hide BO with cologne. Ever used toilet spray after you took a schit? Same thing...floral schit smells.
 
I have become discerning cheapskate when it comes to fragrance lately. I have only been buying middle eastern houses for the last few months. The only designers I have bought have been when travelling (I travel internationally every month/6 weeks or so with hand luggage only, so grab a cheap designer frag at Big5 duty free on the way out for the trip).

Its hard to ignore some of the middle eastern houses. There are some bangers

I have quite a few that i paid like R300 for and they last all day. A lot of the Dubai stuff you need to leave for like 3 or 4 months after using a few times and they amplify like crazy. My most expensive one is French Avenue Liquid Brun and all mine last a good 6 to 7 hours on me.

I have one or two after a decent shower its still on me
 
My last buy was nearly 6 months ago. But since then, I have bought another 2 bottles of Lattafa's Dynasty.

Clone of Clive Christians L Red Tea Vetiver

Green sunlight soap strips your skin from its oils and will dry you out.

You do need to be careful of fakes though. Like a lot of the stuff on Takealot is fake. There is Chinese clones of the dupes and they look almost identical.

I got a Fragrance World Invicto that i wore Wednesday before i went to gym and its still potent on my puffer jacket and i paid R250 for it

Takealot you will quickly know when to stay clear, is when you see fragrances like Afnan going for R400

They got rid of all the fakes a while ago but I see not long after it went back to the same land mind of a site.
