Men with great taste, what's your favorite cologne?

It's value increased dramatically as it is now impossible to find anywhere, selling right now for $900/oz (30ml). I was thinking about getting a 1.5ml spray sample, but at over $50 for something I can only wear a few times and knowing that I will not buy more of it unless it gets rereleased, it seems silly.
Enjoy your prize.

Just checked my bottle, it's the newer one, oh well I think that it still smells great. I'd love to get a whiff of the older stuff though.

If you want the aphrodesiac effects of ambergris, there are many choices out there. Pineapple fruit cologne ain't for me.

I can't answer the "why", but apparently a lot of other people like it as much as I do! I have never had so many people (male & female) ask me what I am wearing when I have on Aventus... and not in a bad way!

Different strokes. I guess that is why there are so many colognes to choose from.

I am still developing my tastes, but currently use:

• Ferragamo F <- Rarely, since my wife can't stand it.
• Prada Amber <- Sports
• Gucci Guilty <- Travel
• Versace Man <- Work
• Versace Man <- On the town

I'm sampling Atelier Cologne's Gold Leather today.
Top notes: bitter orange from Seville, Indian saffron, Jamaican rum
Heart notes: plum, davana from India, eucalyptus from California
Base notes: gaiac wood from India, cedarwood from Texas, leather & oud accord
It's got a great development and lasts a long, long time. I detect a bit of incense in there as well, dancing back and forth with the eucalyptus which starts almost minty. I like these scents that evolve over several hours.
This one will not be for everyone, but it is a huge winner for me, and I'll certainly be getting a big bottle.

Very well described Although I believe the cedar wood notes you're smelling are from Arizona

D&G Light Blue Pour Homme After Shave Splash.

Had a chance to try some Creed while visiting NY and must say Aventus wasn't for me but I did like the Green Irish Tweed, will have to take some time out to go and properly sample the full range.

My currently odour is Channel Allure Homme Sport.

One of my faves is Poivre de Samarconde from the Hermessence line by Hermes. Although lately, I've been using La Nuit Del Homme by YSL.

Been wearing Fahrenheit for years, among some others. Nothing I have worn in my life has gotten more compliments or queries from women of all ages. First bottle was a gift from my wife. I have been wearing it ever since. It is the only cologne that has remained in my collection since the first bottle.

It is my go to daily wearer.

Bleu de Chanel was my go-to cologne until I found Chez Bond from Bond No.9

I've never been too crazy about cologne but I love it. Women have stopped me to ask what cologne I'm wearing

Oops I meant to say Chez Bond in my earlier post (said Chez NY). It is smells great but remains subtle-not overpowering. My wife often gets comments at work (we work together) like "I'm getting my husband/boyfriend cologne, what does your husband wear?"

I love the classics Cool Water and Drakar Noir

[RLROCK]

After reading that Prada Luna Rossa was an excellent after shave, I went and bought it and the cologne. I have to say that I have received many compliments from the ladies.

After reading this thread I was intrigued, I smelt different fragrances from Creed on a trip into Leeds at Harvey Nichols today and preferred Aventus, when I have used up my other cologne's I think I will buy a bottle.
