AP: Polo Crest (Just amazing stuff.) M7.

Power: Givenchy for Gentlemen (The Alpha concoction bar none.)

Romantic: Any of the Ungaro brothers, I, II, or III.

Baldassarini deserves a plug here too, but it could really go into any of these categories.

Cheers

1. All Purpose - Allure Sport, Guess Man.
2. Power Play - Visit.
3. Scent the Girls love - Issey Miyake as the top I guess. Girls love every scent that I have and it's hard for me to judge which gets the most loving. But I feel like I have best drawn in girls with Issey Miyake's subtle power.

Hmm... I don't *actually* wear Chanel fragrances consistently. Interesting that everything on my this list (at this time) is from the Chanel catalog!

Much appreciation on my "clean scent" thread, it has actually opened my visibility to Gendarme. To which i have two questions:

I have three scents that i switch on/off, based on the message/mood. If you had three scents to cover the following three categories what would they be:

1. All Purpose - your default or sig scent (Mine is GIT)
2. Power Play - when you want to kick in the doors and exude your confidence (Mine is Douro/Lords Penhaligons)
3. Scent the Girls love - need i say more (1903 J. Peterman, go figure! every woman who i put a lineup together of scents always loves this the best)

Regards,
Nate

1. All Purpose = Montana Parfum d'Homme

2. Power Play = Creed "Original" Tabarome

3. Scent the Girls love = Davidoff Relax

We keep lumping this bottom category into things like "Romance," but based upon my experiences, I might wear something diffferent if I were trying to appeal sexually to women as opposed to men. Just a thought.
