Santal Noble by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier

The nectar of the gods, this is sandalwood par excellence. The beginning is a little rough though. It defintely has, as one member put it about another MPG, "imagine a hippie is changing a diaper at a Starbucks" overtones, but those quickly disappate. Instead you are left with the most beautiful, contemplative slightly sweet sandalwood. As others have noted, the drydown is spectacular. This is truly a gem.

Blenheim Bouquet by Penhaligon's

I love this junk. Yes, it's obnoxious. Pine, lemon, cedar, thyme? It's pretty specific, but it's like a cleansing hot towel, or handi-wipe (I mean that in the positive sense). I like to wear this in the evening, after a hot shower after a hard day at work. It's refeshing, soothing, and turns into a clean masculine scent. Top marks.

Égoïste / L'Égoïste by Chanel

I love the sweet spicy Rose, and elegant powdery sandalwood drydown. Atunner that lasts and lasts. Chanel just reeks of class.

Cuir de Russie by Creed

Beautiful orange topnotes. Dries down a bit mor aggressive than most Creeds, but with the signature ambergris. Very classy,

Cannabis Santal by Fresh

Chocolate and plum top notes, this dries down into a manly musky wonder. Really great scent.

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

Mmmm...GIT. Summer in a $100 black bottle. Fall too. Oh, and winter and spring.

Knize Ten by Knize

The most amazing scent ever. Bohemian vs. black tie, a thermonuclear meltdown at first spray, a depth charge of unusal beauty 2 hours later. Highly ecommneded.

Antaeus by Chanel

A beautiful fragrance. I've been wearing it since 1982. My girlfriend at the time recognized my personal scent as "Antaeus, pot and semen".

Antaeus works for me in my married mid-40's as well!
