Creed Windsor
Amouage Reflection Man
Chanel Sycomore (new)

honorable mention: Amouage Jubilation XXV

I've just sampled Guerlain's SDV and that could well be making a play for a top 3 spot soon....

I'm 38 and my top three:

1. Chanel - Sycomore
2. Dior - Leather Oud (it went really quick to my top 3)
3. Mazzolari - Patchouli

post #6 of 52
So, does that mean Goldilocks would call us "just right"?

1 - L'Anarchiste - the only fragrance I've owned more than one bottle of.
2 - Musc Ravageur - one of two fragrances I'd re-buy at over $100 a bottle.
3 - Millésime Impérial - the other $100+ fragrance I'd buy, but only after testing it to see if it still matches the quality of my original purchase some 7 years ago.

I'm a couple of years short of your range but my three are:

Platinum Egoiste
Havana
Musc Ravageur
post #8 of 52

post #9 of 52

This is cool. It hadn't really occurred to me that there would be a generational thing here but it appears that many of us prefer woodsy/earthy frags with some tilting towards a bit of sweetness. I'm not sure what I'd list as a top three at this moment but many of things listed are just the sort of perfumes I love to wear at this time of year. Makes me sort of happy to see this.
