Anyone purchased cologne online recently and had it shipped to Trinidad?Also,are the colognes pennywise selling legit or are there knockoffs in between?

Yes I agree I normally do some research on YouTube to check for what to look for on the knockoffs and so far pennywise has legit stuff.... Only thing that is suspicious is thier prices, but that's mainly because we've gotten acostomed to the belief that good /genuine stuff have to be overpriced not expensive... There's a difference. But it must be noted that they don't carry most of the top tier brands like Tom Ford, Thierry mugler creed, etc

Most things in Pennywise are cheaper than what you would find in other pharmacies and specialty stores. It's not because they're knock-offs at all. They're quite legitimate.
They likely use something similar to the Walmart model of business efficiency and sales volume to keep prices lower than the rest of Trinidad. And the recent building of two large Plazas in the country which has seen a never-ending boost in sales means that they've hired the right and brightest people to manage the business.

Pennywise is the largest personal care retailer in the island. Their buying power and thus price negotiation is unmatched

They are totally family run with no decisions or suggestions from outside the founding family. Two sons of one of the directors entered in the last few years and that's bout it for new blood. But they both degreed

Not a big collection by some of the fellas in here standards. I usually don't buy any scents depending mostly on gifts. Had 5 bottles up to and around the middle to end of last year - Nautica Blue, CK Black, Perry Ellis, Burberry Touch and Hugo Boss Boss. The Nautica finished just before Xmas, the Burberry in Feb and the Hugo Boss this morning. Leaves me with two half bottles of the PE and CK.

Would probably check Pennywise. I usually hate testing for any length of time so for the real perfume bantons if you had to make a snap recommendation on two to three good scents what would it be? (I understand not all scents smell the same on everyone)

Recent perfumes I had previous to this batch included KC Black (many times as its a go to gift from cousins), Issey Miyake, Curve (in bout three scents), CK, Perry Ellis, Eternity and Burberry Burberry London.

I think scents are subjective but seeing as you had the hugo and nautica. Id go with

Boss bottled night
212 CH
KC black

Pretty decent and reasonable

Hopefully there is someone that can help me with this...

Anybody ever had the BVLGARI BLV NOTTE? Not that madness that Pennywise have/had- bvlgari blv. The Notte, had a distinct musky scent. What would you recommend as the closest available scent to that, nowadays?
