Pick 5 men's fragrances for your wife/girlfriend

Thread Starter 
Hey guys:

I don't know about you, but my wife doesn't really seem to share my passion for fragrance. However, I suppose it would be kinda fun to pretend like she does. Maybe one day, she'll wake up and say, "Hey Brad, could you let me have 5 fragrances from your collection that I could wear for myself?" So, what would she end up getting? From my collection, this would be 5 for me to recommend:

Gucci Pour Homme
Rochas Man
Versace Metal Jeans (Don't get to jealous, they're just samples)
L'Eau par Kenzo
Bond no.9 Riverside Drive

These were the first ones off the top of my head. They can be unisex or masculine. Just be sure you have it in your current collection.

My girlfriend wears all kinds of stuff. A few of the masculine types she likes most are:

Jubilation XXV
Sycomore
Balenciaga pour Homme
Yatagan
Chene
Egoiste
M7
Etro Vetiver
Terre d'Hermes

They all smell good but Jubilation XXV is near magical.

1) Egoiste
2) Cologne pour le Soir (can be considered unisex)
3) Lumiere Noire pour Homme (more Femme than Homme imo, still a very good fragrance)
4) 1740 Marquis de Sade (can be considered unisex)
5) Heritage
6) Bois du Portugal (cause it'd be very interesting on a woman)

As a chick I post and read here on the boys side, mainly because I wear unisex fragrances. From my wardrobe that I wear regularly:

Rose 31
Fille En Aiguilles
Dzongkha
Gaiac 10
Encens Flamboyant
Yatagan (boyfriend stole this from me so we share)
Sel Marin
Real Patchouly
Ambre 114

And what I steal from my bf's decants:
Lonestar Memories
Encens et Lavande
Bergamote 22

The last girl I dated wore Antaeus.
And that was before the reformulation.
I was the second boyfriend who dumped her because he was gay.
Advise: don't have her wear Antaeus.

I would say Egoiste: works wonders on a woman.

My gf's favorites were all gotten out of my wardrobe and she ended up with the bottle and I got a decant from it or another bottle. She is a crafty fox:

Rose 31
CdG Avignon
Midnight Oud
Erolfa
M/Mink
Hinoki

She gets way more compliments from others when she wears these than I do, but she is way better looking than me too so that probably is a big part of it. I have come to the conclusion that very masculine fragrances work very well on very feminine people because the contrast balances better.
