My all-time best smellers

Thread Starter 
These are the 5 perfumes that I will love till the day I die :

1. L'eau de Issey by Issy Miyake:
A very nice citrus, aquatic, scent that's light but still wonderfull. A sex-perfume that turns women into horny robots. Stays very long for a light aguatic smell. A classic
Seduction in a bottle !

2. Boucheron Jaipur:
A very very sweet oriental perfume that never loses ground. Never cloying and turns many heads. Sweet and spicy. Candy in a bottle !

3. Burberry London Special Edition ( Or Boss Bottled )
A special fragrance that will not leave people around you unmoved. Sweet, fruity, fresh, dry. I will love it forever. Addiction in a bottle !

4 Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger
When you put this classic on your skin you will smell like a rich dude from the Forbes list. A very spicy, woody scent that stands out in the crowd. A timeless perfume. A hit with the ladies. Welth in a bottle !

5. Joop ! Jump
Looks like an average perfume but it's not. I like it because the drydown is wonderful. It smells on me like cigars ! Spicy, fruity, yummy ! Cigars in a bottle !

What are your all-time best-smellers ?

1. Bel Ami by Hermes - A Smoky and Musky Scent. Lasts quite awile on me. I get a lot of compliments on it.
2. Giorgio of Beverly Hills - Don't know how to explain this one. I love it.
3. Polo Modern Reserve - A lot like Polo crest. Not as strong as the original.
4. Creed BdP - A classic smell to it. Some say it smells like PDN New York.
5. Santos by Cartier - Another Smokey & Musky Smell. I just love it!!!!!!!!!

Nasomatto Duro - a dry smokey leather fragrance, the leather that got me started on leather frags
Musc Ravageur - THIS is sex in a bottle my friend, I recommend trying it!
Nuits de Noho - in the world of "fresh" fragrances, this pineapple-noted frag will stand out, makes me feel like I can flirt with all the girls in the club.
Straight to Heaven - RUM, out to have a good time? Put this frag on to enhance the night!
Millesime Imperial - I wish gold smelled like this, I wish it lasted longer, nobody that's ever smelled this scent has ever had a different reaction other than "wow this is great!"

Please, tell me more about the Burberry London Special Edition! I've been DYING to know about it, but no one here has actually had a bottle as far as I can tell. It already sounds like something up my alley from your post though ... I might need to just bite the bullet and blind-buy this one.

to date it would be narrowed down to....


John Varvatos
Rochas Lui
Guerlain Homme
Désir de Rochas pour Homme
Unforgivable

obviously this could change as there are hundreds for me that still have to be tested
