One scent you've been through the most bottles of [used - not stocked up]

Hi,

I was browsing through a thread where everyone listing the bottles they have in duplicates / stocked up.

My question is two-fold.

- Which is the one perfume you've been through the most bottles of;
- Which scent would you always have in your collection, even if you reduced your collection down to only a few bottles.

For me; it's Burberry Touch.

I've been through around three 100ml bottles over the years.

This is probably one of the bunch of perfumes which really got me in to it all. I absolutely love the scent. For me its refreshing and quite serious at the same time. I don't use it as much now but its one I think will always have.

How about yourselves? [apologies if this has been done before]

Several Helmut Lang EDT
Several CDG2Man
Several Helmut Lang Cuiron...

These would also be three fragrances that I will always try to keep in my wardrobe (unfortunately Cuiron is getting very hard to find nowadays). I'll add Onda Extrait and Jicky.

The only 2 bottles I've every finished are:

Bleu de Chanel and Guerlain Homme L'Eau

My heavier scents tend to stick around longer due to the environment in which I work.

L'eau d'Issy pour homme - number 3 or 4 I think - I did a lot of time at the discotheque in the 90s and early Noughties...

Over the last few years I've bought three bottles each of Egoiste, Mugler Cologne, and original M7 so they tie for most bottles used.
