For me the most important frags are le male because it got me into frags. Ambre sultan because it reminded me of a dessert my lovely grandma use to make for us as kids. The quality was so high I got hooked onto being curious about other niche frags from the moment I first put my nose to it. GIT because that’s when I discovered my signature scent. When I smelt it initially I felt like I was transported to a green forest, hands down still my fave and made me want to explore other masterpieces that could invoke the same experience. Eau Sauvage edt vintage because it began my curiosity and exploration of vintage frags. Still my fave vintage.

1. Ralph Lauren Polo Green: First fragrance to become my signature scent about 15 years ago. Before I really became a Frag Head 10 months ago. It's what a successful man should smell like. 2. Dior Eau Sauvage EDT 3. Terre d'Hermes Parfum 4. Creed Bois du Portugal/Tom Ford Beau de Jour: I can't break the tie. P.S. I just today discovered Rogue Perfumery Bon Monsieur and immediately bought a bottle. Seems to be a very promising fragrance in my favorite category.

I remember so well in the 70s 80s ect the gents fragrances. With the old formula. Actually things like the matching soap deodorants shaving foams talk were sold in abundance. As the actual mens cologne ect was to expensive. But the soap deodorants ect were very potent. The density of the modern gents now is around the same strength of the deodorant or soap then in the old days.

1. Armaf Ventana 2. Bentley Intense 3. Amouage Interlude 4. Spice Bomb Intense I like frags to do what they were created for...to fragrate...aromatically and noticeably. I like them to be warm, deep, dark and moody with kicks of sensuality, sparkle and delight. _Armaf Ventana_ is fabulously exquisite, like very expensive leather, rum, mahogany and an unfathomable polish all entwined into soft enchanting luxury...with seduction...your heart melts into golden syrup as you rest sumptuously into its commanding mood of majesty. Best Cheapie: _Creation Lamis Temperature_ It immediately sits warm and cosy, firey but with subdued enthusiasm so as not to be loud, obnoxious or cheeky. Mysterious and wanting attention, garnering smiles and inquisition Creation Lamis Temperature is strictly night time wear, asking for a wandering kiss shadowed from the moonlight.🔥💋
