What Is THE Sexiest Men's Niche Fragrance of All Time?

post #1 of 43

Thread Starter 
I realize that this is not the first thread on this topic, but I'd like to cast a wider net and get some new/different recommendations.

The title really says it all. I'd like to know what, in your opinion, is THE absolute sexiest men's fragrance (niche only) of all time. Something that, when you put it on at night, instantly sets the right mood and makes your significant other swoon and bury her face in your neck or chest. I'm not talking about a feminine scent that may also be appreciated by certain men or something with a pronounced fecal accord that you find "interesting." I'm talking about the one scent that--bottom line--just smells f*****g sexy, from start to finish.

OK, gentlemen, let's hear what you've got to say.

- Brad

For a sexy date, it has to be MUSC RAVAGEUR.

For some intimate moments, it has to be MUSCS KOUBLAI KHAN.

Musc Ravageur sounds nice. I just ordered a sample and I can't wait to see if 50mL of this juice is worth €95.

I'm starting to think that I'm the only one who doesn't "get" Musc Ravageur! I don't think it's sexy at all, sort of blah to me actually.

I recently bought a decant of PG's Aomassai instead of L'Ombre Fauve and wasn't overly impressed. Should have gone with the L'Ombre Fauve!

Aomassai is a great gourmand, so it isn't all that bad of a buy for you, but yeah -- L'Ombre Fauve is in a league of it's own

Le Labo Vetiver 46.

If you could have hot, sweaty sex with vetiver, it would smell like this smoking a cigarette after you were done.

You are not alone. I swapped mine. I got no musk out of it. It's not a bad scent, but it wasn't all that for me.

I'd go with Vetiver 46 or Ambre Sultan.

Beyond Love isn't really gender designated, but tuberose is THE sex note for me. When I wore my sample to school it had the rive gauche effect.

I always perceived Penhaligon's Endymion, BDP by Creed and Le Vainquer by Rance not just as extremely warm, sensual and alluring, but also as being so in a very distinguished and classy way (thus, in my opinion, suitable for the impeccably dressed, well-spoken, well-mannered and extremely fashion-conscious yet understated and gentlemanly ladies man)

However, the ladies and gentlemen of Basenotes would actually be surprised that I got complimented from a ladyfriend (NO significant other, though) for the sensuality and attractiveness- and I don't think she was joking or telling a white lie- of a niche frag, which I personally perceive as the least likely to be sensual: Knize Ten

I think Chergui and Musc Ravageur are wonderfully sexy. Might want to try this thread on the Ladies side. Would be interesting to hear their responses.

Musc Ravageur smelled RATHER feminine to me, very reminiscent of Shalimar. Sexiest niche frag of all time? Creed Millesime Imperial

Simple answer. Musc Ravageur. Even if you don't like it, it's opium to the masses. This has been my experience.

I know it's rather unknown, and rarely brought up, but I'm starting to think it's PG Iris Taizo. I find it incredibly sexy.

For sure, F. malle's NOIR EPICES. It is heavenly, and i get compliments from the ladies wherever I fly to. A global scent that seem to appeal to the gals. Just the other day, I was in Milan, and 2 women came up and ask me what the nice parfum was!
