So many good choices here. I am a gear (guitar) head, sneaker head, WIS and of course... A frag head! I didn't go through all pages, but as you all know, favorite fragrance depends on several factors including, where and perhaps even more importantly, time of year/temperature. That being stated, there are some year rounders. Here are my choices:

Year Round - Creed Aventus
Cold Weather - Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Cool Weather - Creed Green Irish Tweed
Hot Weather - Creed Millesime Imperial

To paraphrase Gordon Gecko: Creed is Good!

Aventus, Vetiver (both good all-rounders), and Green Irish Tweed (agree with above comment that this is best. In cooler weather).

Slowly working my way through the rest of their production. Trialling Tabarome now and I think it's going to become a favourite.

Now this is a friggin collection. Bravo! I see you have a bottle of Neroli, but I can't stress enough how fantastic TF's Tuscan Leather is. It literally smells (to me) like opulence. If you haven't already, get your nose on some.

I was at an outlet mall in PA, and while my daughter was checking out perfumes, I asked if they had Creed. The salesperson looked at me like I was trying to buy a Rolls-Royce in a Ugo dealership. I'm not really into cologne, but this brand must be too expensive for my meager taste.

I really like (the missus doesn’t) ADP Oud Concentrée and Bvlgari Black, but she loves V&R Spicebomb and TM Pure Wood on me.
Have Hčrmes TdH (almost finished) – it was nice enough, but not irreplaceable.
Haven’t skin tested the Creeds I liked on card – GIT and BdP, so I’ll have to do that at some point.
I really liked the Woods & Spice, but absolutely no mission of me spending that sort of money on a fragrance.

On the next to try list:
Chopard Oud Maliki
Shay & Blue Black Club Leather, and Oud Alif
Angela Flanders Oudh Noire, and Xanadu
Rasasi La Yuqawam, and Faqat Lil Raj’jal

Strangely enough I wear "Invictus" by Paco Rabanne. I work with a group that is primarily women and when I wear it they are constantly coming by for a "hit" as they call it!

I picked up Carolina Hererra CH Men Prive yesterday at Heathrow and I have to say I am very, very impressed. Well worth trying if you haven't already smelled it or own it.

I also bought Penhaligon's of London - Endymion & Miller Harris - L'eau Magnetic recently and again, I would highly recommend them. Both very classic smelling

I am building a nice little collection for myself. Never realised how into aftershave I actually was until recently. Not quite as addictive as watches but it is a quick fix

Although Creed is Great...

I've enjoyed Creed Aventus for years.

My Favourite is the Acqua Di Parma product line.

My Partial Inventory of Acqua Di Parma:

OUD for Nights...This stuff lasts for ever and a day.
CLUB for days, spring and summer, spicy and has an evolving note.
INTENSA Year round especially if you love Patchouli done right.

I've never had one negative comment about any of these.

I asked at Gatwick Airport and was told no try Harrods. Guess I'll have to see what all the fuss is about next time I'm in town.

Old school Polo green bottle which I have worn since I was like 12. Try other brands but always go back to the Polo. The Tom Ford vanilla is nice and not sure which one but tried one of the Creeds at the store and it is also great.

Married and don't have to try that hard. Never really did but when I was single I never went out with Joop without being approached or getting positive comments and come on's. I don't like fruity colognes but I'll check out Creed if I'm already in a Nordstrom. I'm glad Creed is working for you all.

Ok, this is gonna sound a tad strange but if you want some real "panty droppin" stuff, then dab a couple drops of this stuff on your neck and wrists before ya hit the nightclub scene. You will have the ho's following you around just to get a hit: C.O. Bigelow Patchouli Oil at 15.00 bucks a bottle

If you can't do the Bohemian thing, then these next two are my historical fav's

Summer: Christian Dior - Ferenheit
Winter: Hermes - Bel Ami
