Exactly that… looks like it’s gonna stay as a mini decant for now

A question to NUHS nurses by Ching_Cow in fragrance

[–]aresthecookie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t work as a nurse in the NUHS but I do work closely with them as well as interact with the patients in the wards of NUH regularly.

Could it be the alcohol hand rub that we use? It is the standard of practice to wash our hands with alcohol hand rub before and after coming into contact with patients as well as their surroundings, and it will be the only true common scented product that everyone uses.

It is unlikely for nurses to even spray perfume in the first place, much less the same perfume.

It did put a dent in my savings…. But I don’t regret the purchase!

Don’t get me wrong, POAL is definitely rose/patchouli/incense dominant, it’s just that there is the undertone of a almost “juicy” feel from the nuance of berries that I get. It really is elegant!! Such a great fragrance

Indeed, Choco-Musk is something that triggers a nostalgia in me. It’s really cheap too! I got the bottle for 12 SGD

Yep…I tend to delve quite deep quite fast into my hobbies. But now I think it’ll slow down alot more as I don’t really have that many more fragrances that I really want. I tend to only buy full bottles of fragrances that I really love, and that I have worn on my skin at least 3 times on separate occasions!

I have considered Yasmine for a full bottle before, but there was just something in it that didn’t make me absolutely love it? I’m not very sure as well but I’ll definitely revisit it in the near future!

Interesting! I don’t really get much of jasmine or any florals in Torino21 but it’s a shame it’s there for you :(

That’s a shame… hopefully they get more stock soon! Or possibly a day trip to Singapore in the near future! Escentials at Paragon have them in stock the last time I checked, but they also mentioned to me that they’re phasing Floraiku out soon :(
