Let's talk Cologne

[Mike Hoxbig]

Hooked on Dior EDTs for now - Sauvage, Homme, etc

Farenheit is still THE Dior EDT...

Does anyone know of affordable online stores or retails stores?
Edgars & company are becoming way too expensive for a good cologne.

Ascot Pharmacy if you're in the Jhb area. A few months ago I picked up a 50ml Cool Waters set and Empirio Armani for R750...

I use Grainville - Dior, Habit Rouge from Guerlain, Black Orchid from Tom Ford, Mister Marvelous from Byredo.

I buy them overseas though.

Yeah but I find it better to just go there. Sometimes they have stuff and specials that aren't on the website...

A buddy came to Visit from Dubai for the month.
I decided to take advantage and ordered some stuff from souq.com and get him to bring it along.

Paid 99AED for 100ml Azzaro Chrome - That's R400 for something that sells for R1000 here and smells great!
Also got 2 bottles of 125ml Elizabeth Aarden 5th avenue for mom and SO's mom and paid 150 AED (R600) for both.

^^, not strictly speaking legal (I think there is some kind of ban on importing perfumes and skin products privately) but one of the Takealot third party sellers is importing Azzaro Chrome Sport 200ml for R1090.00 (that's what I paid end of April).

Inspired by... perfumes and Colognes

I use 212 for men.

It's not bad at all..
You wont be able to tell the difference.

It wasn't an import

I bought it as a gift for my buddy who lives in Dubai.
He just happened to bring it along with him and return the gift to me.

Old spice original is still the best. All the rest are just bad copies of an awesome cologne.

You can also try http://www.stellascents.co.za/fragrances-2/ if you are Cape Town.

Was referencing the Azzaro price part more than how it came in. You're allowed to bring in small quantities of stuff for personal use.

I'm not sure how that Takealot vendor is getting around that but while it's there, I'm going to make use of it

Bought Karl Lagerfeld Eau de Toilette for Men - underwhelming.

 

[tsume]

Looks like a great deal.

Anyone else ever ordered from Ascot online, what are your experiences?

I remember looking at them before and they appeared legit, also on bidorbuy but under a different name.

I use Mr Burberry for winter and now seeing as it's coming into the warmer months, I use L'homme by YSL. Any chance there's a site similar to basenote for South Africans to trade/sell/talk about cologne?

Some really nice specials currently on the ascot cosmetics site

 

[pinball wizard]

I use whatever is on special in the Avon catalogue.
