Hello BN Friends!

Part of my New Years resolution is to spend less money on frags, so I am limiting myself to collecting my spare change and singles in a large jar and when its full I will use that to buy something new. As a small way of saying thanks to everyone who has ever posted here on BN I am letting you all decide what I buy. This jar is pretty large and when its full it holds about $200-250(maybe Ill buy 2 frags). Its about 75% full right now so I thought I would start the poll and tally everything up when it fills up. I want something that is rich, opulent, complicated, and challenging so here is your list to choose from(I have sampled all of these so I know I like them):

1.\tMFK Absolue pour le Soir
2.\tMFK Lumiere Noir
3.\tMazzolari Lui
4.\tMPG Parfum dHabit
5.\tMontale Aoud Musk
6.\tMontale Patch Leaves
7.\tRamon Monegal Ambra di Luna
8.\tRamon Monegal Agar Musk
9.\tChanel Cuir de Russie
10.\tVero Profumo Onda EDP
11.\tAmouage Epic Man
12.\tAmouage Memoir Man
13.\tAmouage Jubilation Man/Woman
14.\tTauer LDDM
15.\tLArtisan Parfumeur Dzing!

Aoud Musk-Montale
post #3 of 43
Parfum d'Habit. This is a unique and elegant scent. No very likely to be worn everywhere.
post #4 of 43
I chose Memoir Man. If you want opulent though, go with Jubilation XXV. It's a little harder to wear in my opinion, but nice.
post #5 of 43
Might not be "challenging," but Lumiere Noir got my vote.

Jubilation XXV

+1

My fav of the list although they're all good or better
post #8 of 43
I voted Onda Extrait that I really need to get *myself*. My runner-up would have been Jubilation XXV.
post #9 of 43
I voted for Epic Man - My favourite Amouage.
post #10 of 43
Lumiere Noire Pour Homme.

I voted for Chanel Cuir de Russie. An absolutely wonderful unisex leather frag that is both complex and not the usual to wear. One of my favorites.
post #13 of 43
this is IMPOSSIBLE for me. With the exception of Patchouli Leaves, the rest of the list include tones of my favorites...If forced to choose with a gun, I'd probably go with Onda Extrait.

let me add one thing though...if you base your purchase on a poll, you'll end up buyng the most popular fragrance and not the best...
post #14 of 43
You have a lot of good choices on there. But the one that smells great and also fits your criteria (rich, opulent, complicated, and challenging), I voted for Jubilation XXV

Jubilation XXV

You mean a jar like this:

Good idea!


I voted LDDM. Though I have to admit I've sampled only 8 of those listed.

You are probably right Alfarom...thats why I stacked the deck in my favor! I love every one of those on the list and I was having too much trouble deciding on which to buy. But I think I will continue the poll every I time fill up the jar and that way each frag will get a new chance to come home with me. Also I will be eligible for the BN Marketplace in a few weeks and Ill be selling a few bottles, and that money will go to this purchase, so I might pick up second and or third place too.

...obviously he asks for the most popular (which is by the way not necessarily not the best).
Asking several people (forums [fora]) for 'the best of this' or 'the best of that' is always asking for the most popular (amongst fellow Basenoters in this case)...!

I think Tauer's LDDM is absolutely superb, but I don't find it particularly challenging. I don't mean that in a bad way though. Quite the opposite. On paper, I thought it might be challenging, but on skin, I found it surprisingly easy to wear.

Lonestar Memories by Tauer... now THAT'S challenging!

L'Air du Desert Marocain is a pleasure to wear.
post #20 of 43
A lot of grat options - I voted for Désert Marocain. It's a beautiful incense-amber combo (actually the only incense-heavy frag I really enjoy these days...). I'm sure you wouldn't regret getting it!
post #21 of 43
Jubilation XXV. Yes it's not the easiest to wear on all occasions, but it looks like you're saving for something special - and special it is!
post #22 of 43
I voted for Absolue Pour le Soir.
post #23 of 43
LDDM without a doubt.

Things are getting interesting. Keep the voting up guys!!!!
post #25 of 43
Jubilation XXV gets my vote, but your list has many other excellent choices.
post #26 of 43
Epic Man seemed appropriate based on your comments. However there are many excellent choices there.
post #27 of 43
Any would make a great choice.

Chanel's Cuir de Russie is awesome
post #28 of 43
Majority of the one on the list are from good to great,

Great selection!

FullCollapse said: "I want something that is rich, opulent, complicated, and challenging "

Amouage Jub Man is the one

if my choice, i'll save for a bottle of Puredistance M

Agar musk is positively breathtaking! It's my favorite Oud scent of ALL! It has a real true Oud note that stays long and strong. No rose. It's unique and unlike any other Oud I have smelled. Is like a beautiful vetiver/Oud/wood blend.
post #30 of 43
Absolute Pour Le Soir - because super-niche; and it might get discontinued.
post #31 of 43
Ambra Di Luna gets my vote.
post #32 of 43
I voted argar musk because that what I want but some great choices a real tough choice
Jubilation would be nice as well

What do you mean by "super-niche"? And why would AplS have a higher risk of discontinuation than the others?

I voted for Absolue pour le Soir, by the way. Honorable mentions: L'Air du Desert Marocain, Memoir Man, and Cuir de Russie.

Hopefully not. I would hate to have to buy a backup bottle.
post #35 of 43
I like the idea of a poll to decide on a frag! I want to do this someday.

I went for Jubilation because it seems the one least likely to be around forever. I think it is limited edition but I could be wrong...
post #36 of 43
Another vote for Cuir de Russie
post #37 of 43
Nice list, hard to chose from.
Voted for Tauer's LDDM, Chanel's Cuir de Russie is also fantastic one.
post #38 of 43
I am so surprised that many of you voted for either of the Kurkdjian offerings. They're both absolutely vile to me haha.

In fact, i don't like anything from the line at all except cologne pour le soir and Oud (which i love).

I voted for J25

This is getting interesting, I wouldnt have expected Cuir de Russie to be doing so well. Didnt know so many people liked it that much. I really love it though.

Voted on Lair du Desert Marocain but I didnt saw Cuir de Russie before the vote, so my vote would be Cuir de Russie and not the Morocco one
