My top 10 frags are all designer, because I haven't balled out and bought any niche yet. All of these are hugely popular and huge sellers, but it's because they are great frags, and I don't care how popular they are. My collection is still very small, so for now, this is my top 10. I expect it change make many changes in the coming years.

1. Rocky Mountain Wood
2. Le Male
3. La Nuit de L'homme
4. Angel Men
5. 1 Million
6. Burberry London
7. Dreamer
8. Boss Bottled
9. Acqua di Gio
10. L'eau Di'issey
