What are some good places in Lahore to go buy these colognes/perfumes where they don't try to rip you off in terms of money or try to sell you fakes?

@Deadly Shadow: made a list of all tht u mentioned plus AdGio from SEvs post and went hunting last night @ tariq road! after asking at some shops and Scentsation, went to Naheeds and surprise! their prices were atleast 200-500 lesset thn tariq road. the guy said k he's got everything on m list (AdG, Lanuit, issey, kouros, curve0 but coulndt let me test em.

After badgering him for almost half hour he let me try Issey and La Nuit... got Issey for 5.4k.

Also, asked a very 'well groomed' friend of mine he says k you can get great stuff from Bolton Market?! that true? if yes then frm where in Bolton market??
5.4k for issey miyake. I got it for 4.2k in '11 and never liked Basu at Naheed's as i always do get it myself from Dubai or a guy in Bolton Market (Yes you can get easily ripped off there but with experience you'll learn. Few of my family friends were associated with this cologne/perfumes business from Dubai/UK to Bolton market) so it's been easy learning for me.

Still AdG tops my list.

Is this same bottle, same size?

Plus, for both of us Naheed's is just 5mins walk (that's the only advantage) but you'll learn that they are loot.

@SEvolution: err the bottom part of package is plain grey not shiny like pic, rest is same incl bottle look. And prices were lesser to tariq road shops/Dolmen scentsation so...

btw it looks like kaam barhta ja raha hai saddar area ka :p ... also hear Hafeez center is a good spot too!

I need suggestions for a few perfumes for myself. I'm not really a perfume guy so I know zero to shuniya about perfumes.

This is what my wishlist looks like atm:

1) Issey Miyake - Pour de Homme 75ml
2) Davidoff - Cool water
3) Caroline Herrera - 212
4) ????

Availability/Originality will not be an issue as the perfumes wont be bought from the Islamic Republic.

Body Kouros (Not to be confused with Kouros.) It's really sweet.
Try Le Male too. Its extremely popular.
Oh and Rochas Man.

Not exactly caramel but manly sweet. It's hard to explain. (Talking about Body) And I have never tried Rochas Man but I have heard good things. Le Male is pretty good too,

Lacoste RED i've a bottle and it's too sweet for my taste.

CK One, CK ONE Summer

Waise Caramel, Cotton Candy isn't a guy thing for me.

Since, you are getting it from abroad then i would recommend

1. Acqua di Gio (as i've both Issey Miyake and Adg so telling you with first hand experience)
2. Dunhill Desire RED
3. Issey Miyake - L'eau de issey
4. 212 - CH
5. CK One

If you can manage to test colognes somewhere do try these.

Don't go for Coolwater/Chrome as they are too mainstream and imo the listed above do smell better than both

I would suggest you add Curve. Just the plain original. Its really cheap plus it smells decent and gets hell lot of compliments from girls. I would get that instead of Coolwater.

ADG absolutely shits on my budget with its 6.5K-ish price tag. Might have to keep it in my wishlist for now.

1. Dunhill Desire RED
2. Issey Miyake - L'eau de issey (75ml
)
3. 212 - CH
4. CK One
5. Curve

Please short-list 3 or 4 must-haves from the above list.

Liz Clairbone, Benetton or neither?

If you can't go for ADG then get Leau d Issey.

1. Desire RED
2. Leau' d Issey
3. CK One
4. 212 CH

P.S: I've never tried curve and i've suggested CK One as it will be your daily driver kinda perfume as it's cheap and smells too good plus it's not that mainstream
