What is the one scent you will always love... forever..
Mine is Creed's aventus.

So far it is Guerlain Shalimar. Absolutely beautiful masterpiece of perfumery.

isn't that a woman's perfume? but I hear lots of men tend to wear it as well

It is too good to let the ladies have all the fun believe me, try the parfum.

M, of course.

Puredistance M - Just so luxurious. If you wear it, you will be Aston Martin.
Bosque - It is not a parfum, but your intrinsic smell.
Aventus - fresh, the best allrounder.

From what I tried and what I own, my absolute all-time favorite is: Armani Eau pour Homme

Invasion Barbare. All round sublime quality.

Best.... Iris silver Mist
post #21 of 72
Where does one start?

But, the question asks for one...therefore, my beloved Vintage Paco Rabanne Pour Homme.

I could list so many more.

Cheers,

Aventus
post #24 of 72
new haarlem. though aventus is a REALLY close contender
post #25 of 72
Really hard question for me, seems like it could have been easier before...

Amouage Tribute or Amouage Memoir Man
post #26 of 72
I guess at the end of the day, I still need to say Aventus. Although the final phase of L'air du Desert Marocain, with that vanilla dry down, is pretty spectacular.

Right now, Cuir Beluga.

Dior Homme intense, Aventus, and new haarlem. The bottles i just passby open and sniff just to feel good.
post #30 of 72
I haven't smell nearly as much as the guys on here but so far these are my favorite.
1. DKMen Unleaded
2. Versus Versace For Men
post #31 of 72
I have never smelled anything as wonderful as the gucci pour homme II , will always keep a bottle of it with me
post #32 of 72
so far, Jubiliation XXV, regal to the max

honorable mentions to Aventus, LIDGE, MFK Lumiere Niore pour Homme and Creed's Spice and Wood
post #33 of 72
Aventus --> Dior Homme Intense --> Frapin 1270 --> Dior Bois D'Argent. Roughly in that order

Dunhill Special Edition (discont)
Can't say it the best i have ever smelt, but it certainly is the one i missed most and if available i would have it in my stable for eternity. made me like myself more everytime i wore it.

Creed Windsor
post #37 of 72
There are many....but if I have to make a choice:

Amouage - Lyric Man - for men
Chanel - Bois des Iles - for women

Just gorgeous.....!
post #38 of 72
Pure Malt
post #39 of 72
I wouldn't say it's my all time favorite, but whenever I smell N°19 (especially after a phase of abstinence) I think it's kind of an uber-perfume the meta-juice.

Otherwise, I'd have to throw Creed GIT & Aventus, as well as LIDGE and Ambre 114 into the mix.

Hammam Bouquet is my favorite ever.
post #44 of 72
MFK Lumiere Noire pour Homme and LDDM
post #45 of 72
Noir de Noir. It's extremely different from the butch frags I usually wear, and there's just something in the opening (grape? cognac? chocolate?) that hits me like a bullet to the brain whenever I spray it.
post #46 of 72
Post Scriptum: I said Hammam Bouquet is my favorite ever, and it is, but the second place is definitely PATOU POUR HOMME.
post #47 of 72
new haarlem (but aventus is close)
post #48 of 72
I have to choose 2: Carnal Flower and M.

That's two questions:

Best I ever smelled: Carnal Flower

One scent I'll love forever (OK, two): Carnal Flower and Ambre Sultan

post #57 of 72
Hammam Bouquet by Penhaligons. Love at first smell.
post #58 of 72
Dior Eau Savage.

Edmond Roudnitska was right: women are wearing it too. It is my favourite hot weather frag since more than 25 years.

Well, this is subjective
My taste always change. But to name a few, I was particularly impressed
By the following:
1- Guerlain Mistsoku
2- Xerjoff Ibitira
3- Creed GIT
4- Creed Jardin d'Amalfi
5- Le Labo Rose 31
6- Laura Mercier Amber passion
7- Andy Tauer LADDM
8- By Kilian pure aoud
9- By Kilian Amber Aoud
10- By Kilian Incense oud
11- Serge Lutens Vetiver Oriental
12- Amouage Homage

But the one that impressed me really the most
from the above list is Creed Jardin d'Amalfi
