Duty Free in Amsterdam

Dusting this blog off since the last time I actually wrote was way back in 2012. Been quite a while but hopefully I can keep it up a little bit here. So might as well share with you my Duty Free purchases this April 2013.

Duty Free is usually a good place for me to look at recent releases in the designer game. In duty free I don't really sniff out anything. I walk around and just look around and see which new releases are available. I usually pick 2-3 fragrances without sniffing and enjoy the blind buying segment and see how they do on my skin overseas.

This time around I had Issey Miyake Summer 2013 and Eau Sauvage Parfum on my radar. I already smelled Parfum and just wanted a bottle of it. Summer has a kiwi note in it that I find interesting but sadly duty free did not have it. Which really surprised me. Also another surprise was Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir. I really did not expect it to be available in Holland. When I saw that beautiful black and gold bottle as a tester , I quickly grabbed the box behind it. My first impression of Oud Noir is actually good. Good longevity on it already, it's tame in projection. Some say it's a disappointment for a EDP, I find it does well and no complaints here. The scent itself is closer to a M7 then the next big bold oud based scent. I kinda expected that, and felt it's actually one of the best oud's in the designer game at the moment. They did a good job with it, and happy with the purchase. To those who are huge into the Oud game, yea it's not bold and won't blow your socks off but to a newcomer to the Oud game it's perfect for you to give you a small taste.

Next I saw the newest Eros from Versace also. I decided it's been a while since I actually bought two Versace's in one shot , but what the hey. This one was probably the big disappointment in the three I bought. I haven't worn it on my skin yet, but initial sniff it really did not blow me away. It reminds me of a few designers already.

That's my haul ! Thanks for tuning in

  2. Exactly like nearly all males and females, you may well be one
    who ask for ways to lose weight fast. If you are going to lookup the Internet, you will be seeing a lot of
    critiques and testimonials pointing to Phen375 as the very best extra fat burner in the
    marketplace today. Phen375 however is produced under controlled facilities, is authorized and helpful to you, the customer, without doctor's prescription.

  5. In general, people who know how to communicate her
    needs to them without pushing them away. While indebtedness can foster the external signals of relationship engagement,
    gratitude possess a uniquely predictive power in relationship promotion, perhaps acting as a booster shot for what a good detox for the body.

  7. Thanks for the post, and for my birthday my girlfriend got me a bunch of online discounted cologne that was on sale, because she's kind of cheap like that. But that doesn't bother me at all. And she didn't know what scents she was getting she just got a bunch of different ones. And after looking through all of them, there was a bottle labeled wood scented. And that is her favorite one which I think is pretty funny.

  11. There are several cologne products all over the web. In those, a lot of them are simply reptile oil and nothing more with any essential components. But there are a few really excellent ones out there like we offer those.

  12. I would certainly agree, Versace Fragrances are one amongst my favourite college days perfumes along with Kouros and Drakkar Noir as they had long lasting effect. Adding to this, I also love Yardley's fragrance collection which has good chemistry on my skin and is excellent for day time wear.
