I'm not so sure. I searched

for hours looking for a cheaper price for the Dia version. I couldn't find it for less than $205. I ended up buying

it from www.parfumsraffy.com for $215. Got it in the mail today, and I must say the scent is absolutely

godlike. This is going to be a real attention getter from the ladies

[Friendly1]

I have read

from post#1 till here. IMHO, Pheros by DST and Amouage are both outstanding scents. As appreciating scents is an

acquired taste, I'm not so sure if I will ever wear it in S.E. Asia. People here don't seem to appreciate complex

scents as they're probably not used to the limited exposure as opposed to those heavily advertised scents. I will

try to get the samples for my own collection though. It's pricey but worth it.

I think

Amouage Dia would be welcomed even in Southeast Asia.

So, I'm getting ready to break

down and buy some Amouage this week (probably tonight if I can get out of work early enough to make it to Parfums

Raffy before they close).

My last question is do I get Dia or Gold? I like the smell of Dia better, but if

women like Gold better I should probably get that. Gold is too soapy and powdery for my taste, but I'm not buying

it for me but for women (and I'm not expecting any life changing experience).

[DrSmellThis]

You know, honestly, I might like

the woman's gold the best on me. So I'd just try them all and pick the one you like on yourself, but also

solicit feedback from others.

[DCW]

I think you'll like Dia better,

that's my next purchase.

People generally favor DIA. Gold may

have more pheromone analogs in it. Tough choice.

[Fuse]

I may buy the Gold after I get my

samples in the mail. Dia will blow you away. It's definitly the most sophisticated and enchanting fragrance that's

ever graced my nostrils. I'm certain the ladies are going to love it. I bought this exclusively for parties and for

social events where I'm going to be around a lot of girls. But I'm going to test it out at work tommorow. Thanks

for introducing this to us, Doc.

[bjf]

Amouage recently sent out a press

release which mentioned how it has become a hot topic on internet forums. All do to Doc. The man got his gold

nabbed from his car and doesn't even have it anymore, but he certainly started a revolution.

[kryptogram]

Dia has become my daily staple

and I am constantly getting comments about the fragrance. If you can spring for the expense - it's definitely

worth it.

[Fuse]

Krypto.... How many sprays do you use

and where do you apply?

[kryptogram]

2-3 sprays. One on the

wrists rubbed together; one on the chest and/or the neck. It tends to linger a long time - although I have freshened

it (one short spray) after a long day of work.

BTW - for those looking to buy, the salesperson remarked that the

GOLD lasts longer. It has a much fuller/heavier scent.

Interesting. I can still smell the Dia when I get into the shower the next day, so Dia (at my

usual 4-6 sprays) lasts at least 24 hours on me. And it seems to spread itself around. I have been told a number

of times that my baby niece smells like me whenever I wear the Dia.

[phersurf]

I went to Parfums Raffy and

sprayed Dia on one wrist and Gold on the other. Hours later the Gold didn't loose any of it's strength but the Dia

was somewhat diminished.

I was actually trying to get the Gold off (because I like Dia better) with a paper

towel and water and it still didn't seem to lessen.

[bjf]

Gold has heavier notes, more basenotes.

That is the reason why it appeals to less people I guess. Dia is lighter. I think young women - and men - much

favor the dia.

There's never much talk about the silver or the ciel or the others. I'd like to hear more

about those.

[phersurf]

I smelled Ciel, and while it was

good, it was not as memorable or as unique as Gold or Dia.

[kryptogram]

talk about the silver or the ciel or the others. I'd like to hear more about those.

My samples we'll be

arriving in a couple of days - so I'll report back then -

[kryptogram]

I have been

told a number of times that my baby niece smells like me whenever I wear the Dia.

My wife said something

similar the first time I wore it - but it has definitely grown on her.

[Friendly1]

I didn't mean to imply I

thought the Dia would last as long as or longer than the Gold. I just meant to point out that Dia lasts a very long

time. I can imagine Gold would be a very strong scent on the basis of the comparison.

There's never

much talk about the silver or the ciel or the others. I'd like to hear more about those.

Well, a young

sales girl at Etoile in Houston kept trying to get me to buy the Ciel this year, but I stayed with Dia because I do

like it better and because Ciel reminded me of Creed, which I already have.

[TheViking]

This sure has been an

interesting read ...I see many people from the forum here have sent for and received samples. Did any of you ever

pay for your samples or did you all get them for free? even no shipping costs?

On the

www.amouage.com site I see the samples cost from 18 to 25 Euro.. I will not be buying the fragrance this

year, because with such a high price I would have to add 24% norwegain taxes to it.. which would make it even more

expensive If I've understood it correct the Australian customs aren't as bad as in Norway, so I will

consider buying it when I get down under, but until then it would be great to get a sample and see if it really is

to my liking.. I really don't have much experience with perfumes and my nose isn't really good, but I do love the

smell of Chikara

Anyways, did everyone get the samples for free and is there some way to still

get them for free, or is my best shot to order the samples at 18 Euro? (if so I will wait till I get to Australia

and don't have to pay extra taxes on it..)

I shop at

the same store, I was there last week and the shelves looked more bare than usual.

In a few weeks the entire

city is going to smell like a flower shop .

They stopped shipping free supplies

because of the demand.
At least that's what I'm lead to believe.

Oki

Guess I'll wait

till I travel then, and if possible I'll get to the shop in london and smell it (i've got 9 hours waiting on

the airport or something).

[phersurf]

Last night I went to buy Dia and

Parfums Raffy is out of it until Monday. The owner was nice enough to give me a sample sprayer of Gold.

I've

got to say, I just don't like it. I can't believe that I like Dia so much and dislike Gold.

I've had a few

women smell at work today and so far they don't seem to o impressed.

[DrSmellThis]

Often when you love a smell it

will also smell good on you to others -- and the converse also holds (No, I'm not talking about the smell of shoes.

).

I really wanted to like the Dia, but didn't as much. Yet if anything, Dia is a greater achievement in

perfuming because of the special rose in it. The Gold is just more musky, and would technically have more animal

pheromonal content. The women's Gold might smell best on me.

[sito]

I just saw this thread and now I'm

tempted to buy a bottle of this stuff. Which one is the best to get? Gold or Dia?

What is this stuff

comparable to?

[Silver]

Since you guys seem to all have

the mens and womens samples, I wanted to ask you, esp. you DST, which of the women's fragrances do you prefer on

women?

I'm having a hard time deciding between Gold and Dia. I like the gold, but it's a little powdery.

Some people have said they liked it a LOT, some not overly impressed, and so forth. I smelled the dia, and I liked

it, but I haven't worn it out yet.

Please give me your opinions on this, I definitely want to buy one.



Thanks guys,
~Silver
