You and I are in the same boat, SSV...almost all on my list are pricey...it will take a while to get them.

Thanks to everyone who has posted thus far, and please keep adding to the thread. Our wish list is constantly evolving, but it's interesting to know what we are wanting to acquire. I see a lot of overlap, and a lot of appreciation for the niche offerings.

Still at my infancy stage on my fragrance journey I have a lot of scents I want to pick up (way more than 10) but most of those will never be realized do to the cost of the fragrance. However in a perfect world with unlimited resources and purely based upon the fragrance notes and reviews (because I have not sampled 1% of anything on my wish list), my top 10 list would be as follows in no particular order......

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Amouage Jubilation XXV
Invasion Barbare
Chanel Sycomore

Creed Millesime Imperial
Creed Green Irish Tweed

I <3 NY for Marriage Equality by Bond No. 9 (as a Blind Buy--I just love the name!)

Still trying to figure out my 10 must buys but I had to chime in about NY for Marriage Equality...I would really suggest that you try it and not blind buy it...it's a weird one. My wife and I didn't like it so much and we are both Bond fans. The Bond rep himself doesn't like it too much also...and, by the way, he's gay, which I'm not saying that that should make him automatically like it, but he was surprised that it was so off from what he was thinking. Anyway, just thought I'd suggest NOT blind buying it, I would definitely give it a sniff first.

I am going to have to stick with affordable too - there are plenty others that I'd love to have, but they are more of a wish list than a to-buy list:

Concentree De Pamplemousse Rose
Numero Uno
1881 Men
Un Jardin de Mediterranee
Aramis
Pure Havane
Cannabis Santal
Black Soul Imperial
L'Essence de Must de Cartier / Potion / Cinnabar (cant decide between these 3)


Thats 9, but I really cannot think of anything else affordable that I really want. So I'll say I'm leaving a gap to see how Declaration Soir and Kokorico Night work out...
