Musc Ravageur
Sycomore EdP
Eau Sauvage Parfum 2012
Oud Ispahan
Chypre Palatin
Interlude Man
Would like to include another/other vetivers though, :/, like Guerlain Vetiver. Only 10 scents isn't quite big enough for me, haha.
I like it, but not a full-on love or a dislike. Maybe somewhere around a 3.5 stars out of 5. I like a variety of things - got anymore examples?
Maybe haven't smelled Le Beau Male in like 4 years, if I recall it was kind of weird and didn't entice me a lot. I enjoy Tobacco Vanille. Would need to smell the Azzaro and Jazz Club again - but if I'm not mistaken, not bad scents.
Dior Sauvage Prada l’Homme YSL L’Homme l’intense JPG Ultra Male Armani Code Profumo Acqua di Gio Profumo Givenchy Gentlemen EDP Dior Homme Intense YSL La Nuit de L’Homme Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
As you can probably tell, I haven’t dove into the niche world yet
Whats the difference b/w YSL lhomme and lhomme intense ?
Completely different scents. L’Homme Intense should’ve been released as it’s own scent imo. It’s much sweeter and more floral than L’Homme

Ooh, fire list. I can’t get Une Rose De Kandahar out of my head since sampling a few weeks ago—gorgeous. My first Tauer will likely be LDDM, but PHI will likely be next.
Infusion d’Iris is also fantastic—one of my wife’s favorites. Avignon is super interesting, and Ence Noire a staple for me.

Since I haven't explored enough niche to justify the list - - here is my all designer list
Gucci pour homme ii (first fragrance, can't go without)
Dior homme sport (best casual scent imo)
Tom ford ombre leather (lovely leather that puts a smile on my face)
ysl l'homme (easy going fresh & smooth ginger)
Bentley absolute (pleasant wood-similar to memoir man from amouage for a fraction of $)
chanel allure homme sport (my Versace pour homme has gotten on my nerves a little lately so hopefully this wouldn't do the same but still smell similar)
Prada amber pour homme (when I want to feel regal and clean)
Tom ford grey vetiver edp (nice crisp vetiver)
geir ness (beautiful powdery scent with lots of good memories)
maybe lalique ombre noire (haven't tried this yet, but it looked like my list could use a boozy fragrance)
About Seven hours.. Better, I've found, than any other scents like it-get the edp though
I hate these perfume questions! But if I had to:
Guerlain Samsara. I get to include the EDT, the EDP, the parfum, the Un Air version, and all the different vintages in this though:)
Prada Infusion d'Iris EDP
Clinique Aromatics Elixir
Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin
Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours
Houbigant Apercu

I am super picky. Right now I would say these for sure:
Creed Aventus
Dior Sauvage EDT
JPG Ultra Male
If I were to continue with strong picks:
4. TF Grey Vetiver EDT/EDP 5. TF Oud Wood (I don't think this would be a crowd pleaser) 6. Atelier Orange Sanguine (way better than TM Ultra Zest, but I have only smelled this once) 7. Dior Homme 8. Creed Green Irish Tweed 9. YSL L'Homme? 10. YSL La Nuit de L'Homme?
Jubilation XXV Man — mostly for me
Dior Homme — most me
Oud Wood — subtle & sexy
Égoïste — spicy & loud
Sartorial — elegant & gentlemanly
Pure Havane — playful & easy
L'Air du Désert Marocain — artsy & transportive
Terre d'Hermès — professional & collected
Eau Sauvage— rakish & classic
Reflection Man — wife’s favorite!
I don't have 10 for life, but I'll give my 5. I think these would be enough for the environments I use them in:
1- Creed GIT (versatile)
2- Prada L'Homme (work, formal)
3- Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche (versatile)
4- D&G The One EDP (dates)
5- Nautica Voyage (summer freshy, work informal)

Subscribers are multi-national, multi-cultural, multi-gender, multi-ethnic, multilingual and range in age from millenials to boomers.
r/fragrance may cause a growing preoccupation with fragrance, accord obsessions, and compulsive spraying and huffing. If you experience the following -- deconstructing notes, seeing colors, hearing music, visions, emptying wallets, growing bottle collections, boxes full of samples, fragrance withdrawal; and are obsessed with smelling everything -- you're in the right place!
Be respectful, have a sense of humor, don't take it personally, don't assume, and don't cause needless drama.
Funny, serious, truthful, controversial discussions, conflicting opinions, heated discussions, and salty banter are okay. Malicious content, flames, and personal attacks are not.
Content that is informative, thought-provoking, newsworthy, creative, educational, a story, a gain, sensual, adult, profane, occasionally erotic,sexual or NSFW in nature is okay. Porn and politics are not.
Personal flair is your fragrance tagline, a fun way to tell us who you are in the fragrance world. It can include your blog link, if it is non-commercial.
New here? There are several ways to get started. Read the rules, post your Scent of the Day (SOTD), post a recommendation request in the sticky thread are just a few.
