Besides my holy-grail-scents I have some new/revisited favs:

- Vetiver Bourbon, Miller Harris (someone called it a poor man´s Djedi, but this poor man smells damn good!)
- Onda, Veroprofumo (a stunning animalic vetiver, it will knock your socks off!)
- French Lover, F.Malle (first I was underwhelmed, then curious, now in love)
- Eau de Reglisse, Caron (can´t stop sniffing my wrists!)
- Bandit EdP (already own the EdT which is nice, but the new EdP with it´s "Certification" is just WOW!!)
- Coromandel (as someone said: this is what Prada wants to be)
- Derby (bought a new bottle from Paris and revisited my old one, and again: Derby is still marvellous!!)

What are your current favs?

Besides what is listed as my favorites below (in my signature) - I've returned to Carthusia Numero Uno as a very nice office scent, and enjoy Osmanthus by Different Company as a floral that men can easily wear.

My green stuff has been getting a lot of play lately.

I wouldn't expect that they work well in winter, but they do.

In no particular order:

1. Versace L'Homme
2. Habit Rouge
3. Kouros
4. YSL p.h.
5. Guerlain Vetiver
6. The Dreamer
7. Rive Gauche
8. M7
9. Live Jazz


Many Bulgari fragrances used to be among my favorites, but I'm starting to drift away from them and am moving toward YSL.

Also, I have recently become intrigued with M7. I have stopped my trite "cough syrup" remarks and finally discovered the beauty of agarwood. However, I have yet to wear M7 out of the house.

Oud and guaiac wood scents have been grabbing my attention most. Le Labo's Rose 31 has both, as was brought to my attention by Maxwell (who has recently posted an interesting review post recently on oud wood oils from Oriscent). These scents are anything but boring.

2 ounces of LLR31 are on their way from New York - thanks to many of your comments and my 2 ml sample.

In addition, I'm trying to figure out which of about 7 Montale aouds will be my favorite. I'm content for the time being to put off that decision and enjoy my samples - until they run out.

Givenchy - Pi - ladies love it and so do I
Amouage - Arcus - beautiful, masculine, fresh, decent, classy
Cristiano Fissore - Cashmere - makes me feel sophisticated/quietly confident

I also own the M7 but somehow fail to see the big hype about it.

Last week was solid LP No.9 all day, every day. I went with BANDIT today. Haven't worn it in a couple of weeks and has felt like a rediscovery all day.
