Help Me Spend Cash!

Time to drop a few hundred on fragrances! YEY!

Below is a list of fragrances I am looking at as potential purchases. Most of these I have not smelled, or own in another incarnation. I am rather adventurous as a sniffer and want anyone out there familiar with some of these to leave no more that 5 recommendations as "can't miss" or highly recommended, and so on. As for those who suggest "YOU MUST SNIFF BEFORE BUYING" and yada yada yada. Whatever, I don't care. Save your preaching for a different misguided soul. Blind buying is how you acquire hard to find fragrances and besides I'm sure more than a few of you out there would pick up my scraps. Feel free to look at my drobe to aid in recommendations.

Thanks in advance for your expertise and help! Without further ado:

What about Eau Sauvage? There's probably no one that is any less than neutral toward it.

1.) Sybaris instead of Homme de Gres. Both are good with herbal elements, but the Puig is superior and more bang for the buck. You don't need both.

2.) Basala is maybe the best Lavender-Woody I have ever worn. If you can get this for $1 per ml, you would do well.

3.) Original Lancome Sagamore is really good. A terrific scent with moderate sillage and longevity.

4.) Opium EDP *****if you like the EDT, you'll love this. The only Opium I wear. 9.5 stars bro

5.) Original Gucci PH is the only Gucci I wear. I love it and the ones that followed it smell nothing like it. Moderate sillage and longevity, but good to go.

Here's my five , the Givenchy & Sybaris i don't have yet but have tried them both .
I rate them higher in priority for you to get & above many of those i have in my drobe & in your list .
Interesting to see you mentioned Azzaro & Loewe PH in originals , hmmm .
I must mention Essencia which is to my nose much nicer than LPH , the Solo didn't impress me as much , just keep in mind when shopping the Loewe's are all still easily getable .

Monsieur Givenchy vintage
Sagamore original
Sybaris
Leonard PH original
Basala
