You can only have 3 fragrances for the rest of your life, what do you pick?
Chanel - Allure Homme Sport Eau ExtremeThe any where, any time, any occasion, any season "swiss army" of fragrances. If I had to do 1 for life, this would be it. Performs very well, scent cloud is intoxicating, massively crowd pleasing. This one was an automatic selection, didn't think twice.
Jul et Mad - Stairway to HeavenI wrestled with this and Aqua Sextius which Ialso LOVEbut this is perfect for all warmer months, Aqua Sextius is ideal for the blazing hot ones IMO. Stairway is impossible to describe, but it's so ungodly beautiful it leaves me speechless. If not wearing CAHSEE, I would wear this mid April - mid September.
Valentino - Uomo IntenseThis one was a motherfukker to narrow down. I kept waffling between Herod, Game Time, La Nuit, Le Male Parfum but I just keep coming back to this beauty. It was love at first scent years ago, and it never fails to impress. It ticks all the boxes of what a cool weather fragrance should be. If not wearing CAHSEE, I would wear this mid September - mid March.
Tough to leave out so many good Bond, JPG, Dior, Parfum de Marly, Byredo, ELdO, and Acqua di Parma scents that I've grown to love and wear so often, but I'm going with those 3. (for now)

If I had to get rid of my entire collection and only keep 3 for life, this wouldeasilybe one of the keepers. No question.

It's probably been the best performing and smelling i've had since I first tried it in 2013. I'd sneak some sprays from Macys at the mall HS before dates lmao. Still GOAT.I just remembered Dame Perfumery exists, ever rebuy BFMV or Dark Horse?

Low cost: Montblanc Explorer (Aventus clone with slightly different twist)
Mid cost: Prada L'Homme. It's a clean laundry scent but sparkly and sweet. Fuking amazing. I will always have this.
150ish tier: Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint. It's beast mode and fresh with a unique dark twist so it's set for all occasions. I'm getting a bottle soon.

Valentino Uomo would be my choice if I could only have one fragrance. It's so elegant and manly. And so versatile.

Factory has Hacivat (great scent) for $159 for the 100ml bottle. That is pretty killer
https://www.olfactoryfactoryllc.com/...eid=6cb187b4f6
I'll take VUI over VU personally but DHI destroys anything from Valentino.
We should try that picture with Sauvage or BdC or something popular.

While all batches of CDNIM have remained with stellar projection and performance, it is said that newer batches have begun to focus more on its fruity aspects, leaving older batches highly revered and sought after for their dark, smoky aromas.
No one knows how many of these vintage bottles remain in the world but it is rumored to be very few. And still, collectors far and wide have been desperately searching the internet and the world for one of the rare chances to witness or even own the coveted "Holy Grail" of fragrance.
So how bout u quit being a pussy hater W1LL.
