To choose 3 is to betray all the other beauties in my collection - I am unable to do that...

Seville a'Laube - L'Artisan Parfumeur :. intoxicating complexity
34 Boulevard Saint Germain - Diptyque :. for its sheer versatility (medley of florals, resins & woods)
Or Black - Pascal Morabito :. it is what it is

It would be a difficult, but not altogether impossible choice, thus I'd most likely choose:

Armani Eau pour Homme
Caron pour un Homme
YSL Rive Gauche

I don't even own that many, but 3 for each season would make it a much easier choice.

Tam Dao
Guerlain Vetiver
LIDGE

Ask me again tomorrow and my opinion may have changed

If you like these, you should try Creed's GIT, Aventus, and MI. Some say they smell similar.

It has a pleasant sort of woody/citrus smell to my nose. It's VERY linear (obviously, since it's made up of one ingredient, diluted, rather than being a complex composition), but it really lasts.

I'd take 3 of the 1000 mL bottles of A&F Fierce. I would drink it and not wear it.

I have it too but can't seem to smell anything bar a mild fruity/aqua style aroma out of it. If I layer it under a perfume with weak sillage however, it makes it project through the roof.
