Fragrances

whats everyone else wear around here? i am particular to Tom Ford, especially his private blends collection. in the summer i usually wear his Neroli Portofino, in the Fall his Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, and Tobacco Vanille. i also wear a lot of the Comme des Garcons colognes, especially the collaborations with Monocle, like the Hinoki.
-
I have always enjoyed the old Guerlains like Sous Le Vent, Derby, Habit Rouge, and Vetiver. I also wear Dior Homme for something more contemporary.

Guerlain Homme Extreme & Amouage Dia for colder weather
Comme des Garcons 53 is a synthetic I didn't take to, smelled of frying electronics to me.
-
chanel allure sport is one i've used, stopped and gotten back to. and on the side a little bit of kenzo.
-
I love the way Le Labo operates and makes all fragrances at the time of purchase, but haven't found one that I feel I need to wear yet.
-
Quite like Rose 31, but it can get a bit Indian restaurant at times.
TF Oud Wood is a current favourite, sometimes Noir de Noir.
-
I wish I had more places that carried high end frags around me. I usually have to go try everything I can when I go to Chicago or even Epcot in Disney (they have an exclusive Guerlain store).
-
You may already know, but there are a few places online which do samples now, including ebay of course.
For example in the UK we have these guys -
Used to be into frags, can't wear them much as my SO became allergic to them
Should visit basenotes, tons of information. TF is nice, the older formulations of MPG are good too. Pehaligons, Helmut Lang, Frederic Malle, Andy Tauer, Creeds, Bond No. 9 (god forbids!), By Kilian are some I could reminisce. Definitely need to rotate them through different seasons. -
The Tom Ford TV Private Blend was my go-to for a long time, but the price is now a joke… every year the bottle has went up £10. I love the Azure one as well, until I realised it reminded me of CK Crave that I wore as a kid so I bought a bottle of that for a tenner from a budget high street store and chucked it in my squash bag
Current day to day rotation...
Untitled - MMM
AmazingGreen - CDG
Midnight in Paris - VCA...and just added the brooklyn Replica by MMM, which is going to be great come Winter as a replacement for the Untitled.

Mostly go without any, but when I feel like wearing a fragrance,
Bowling Green by Geoffrey Beene
is a favourite. Very old fashioned, classy, citrus and woods type of smell.

^agreed. The closest I get is Juniper Ridge trail soap. I think at least part of the reason is I can't be in a fragrance store/section of a store for more than a few minutes before a migraine ensues.

Issues Miyake
Kenzo Tokyo
Guerlain Pour Homme - topic:timeago-later,3 months

Dolce & Gabbana, Intenso Light Blue and Sport, probably in that order.
-
I am VERY picky with wearing a cologne. I went through all the scents over time(at the stores that were relatively close). I ended up with falling in love with two fragrances….
Gucci Guilty Black
Gucci by GucciI am not one for most of these over priced name brand anything....but my god...did Gucci did a fine job making these two colognes....Always get complimented
-
Recently bought a bottle of D.S. & Durga Boston Ivy, I quite like it.
I try to go through a bottle and then discover a new fragrance I'm interested in.
I've always liked CDG Hinoki but it doesn't seem to last very long.I have always been interested in the DS & Durga frags. I was a bit turned off that Jcrew started selling them figured just another brand trying to get $100 a bottle for crap.
