I'm surprised not to see Lumiere noire pour homme in your top 10. You always have great things to say about it.

I'd consider it, however slavery is outlawed in Japan, and even if it wasn't, you'd only get the bottle after a considerable amount of vacuuming, dusting, dishwashing, and rice cleaning.

Hi, dear, I've owned a vintage one but frankly tested it so many times around the world (also recently) and in all the cases the fragrance was pure magic. I love also Jubilation XXV but now i'm craving for Lyric Man, my next purchase. Homage is ethereal perfection.

Yeah, just picked up a bottle of Lyric last month as well. It's great stuff. Had my eye on Homage since I smelled it in LA 3-4 weeks ago. What I smelled was fantastic!

Narrowing fragrances down to ten is indeed very different from classic top ten, that is, ten most impressive fragrances. Wearability is a factor. Here's my top 10... OK, 12:

Vintage Derby
Mouchoir de Monsieur
Eau d'Hermes
Chanel Eau de Cologne (kind of synthetic classic eau de cologne; I can't believe I like this so much)
Helmut Lang EdC
Musc Ravageur (it's simple and kind of vulgar in its simplicity and explicitness, but I can't help loving it)
Piper Nigrum
SMN Melograno aftershave (very weird choice, especially since I don't love the EdC version. Linear and rather simple: smells like the most luxurious soap ever produced, like well being and contentment.)
vintage YSL M7 (after going through loads of oud scents, I come back to this)
vintage No. 88
vintage Santal Noble
L'Air du Desert Marocain

I use 3 fragrances for the spring/summer and 3 fragrances for the fall/winter.

Spring/summer :

Jardin D'amalfi by Creed (don't yet own this one but going to get in on a split soon) : the smell is really high quality imo.
Kaiak Pulso by Natura : not very known on this site but a very nice fragrance, A+ longevity and projection.
Aventus by Creed.

Fall/winter :

DHI : perfect for everyday use.
Pure Malt : I don't use this one that often but it's different enough to be interesting.
Aventus : I use this one year round.


I don't need more fragrances then those 5 for the moment. I have more of them and smelled alot more (designer and niche) but at the end of the day I allways go back to those 5, so that's the reason I calmed down a little with the buying. It doesn't make sense moneywise to buy a fragrance that you think smells 'worse' then the ones you own. If I smell a fragrance that smells better then those 5 (imho) then I will reconsider. If I had alot of money I'm sure I would have a fragrance for each week of the year though :-)
