What is your all-purpose fragrance?

[buzzley]

Do you have an all-purpose fragrance? By that, I mean something you often choose for day-to-day wear because you know it just plain works in any situation.

I gather that most people on here wear a variety of fragrances. I have been doing that too and have been getting a lot of fun and pleasure out of it. But sometimes I wonder whether people have a particular favorite for general use. I’m not sure signature scent is the appropriate term for this because I’m not thinking about something that specifically identifies you—more like a reliable friend you always know you can turn to no matter what.

I’m not sure I have one yet. Do you?

Thanks.

Mine would be Guerlain Vetiver and Rive Gauche pour Homme

[Merlino]

Green Irish Tweed. Actually, it's almost empty so I'm looking for something new... Any suggestions?

[Dinsypedia]

Mine would be Dior Homme I think. I wear it most weekdays, and although I have lots of other great smelling scents, some days I feel almost like I'm cheating if I don't wear DH! For me, it seems to work well in all weather (spray less in summer though), and in all situations - scruffy clothes, or dinner suit.

For me, this is probably a signature scent too because I wear it so often. Some days I wish we worked less and had longer weekends so I can change what I wear a bit more often!

[Hobbes]

Rive Gauche
Hermes D'Orange Verte
Bvlgari Aqua

Pretty much my whole wardrobe is versatile now. I got rid of all my heavy vanilla/oriental scents and have been attracted to lighter, cleaner scents as of late.

[everso]

kiton black. the perfect daily wear fragrance for me. just superb.

[Stereotomy]

Bulgari pour Homme. Goes with anything. Buddies, hot chicks and parents in law.

[jenson]

ST Dupont pour homme and any of my TDC...

[Jock_With_Scents]

Montale - Red Vetyver
Bleecker St. - Bond no.9

[bbBD]

I'd also go with Dior Homme, followed by Pour Monsieur (1955)

[dpak]

Burberry Brit
Ferragamo F

[TwoRoads]

Giorgio for Men - was my everyday scent for many years.

Azzaro pour Homme - if not for Basenotes and the resurrection of Giorgio for Men, could easily have become my everyday fragrance.

[Bigsly]

Probably Etra by Etro.

[Strollyourlobster]

Rive Gauche pour Homme
Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo
Parfums de Nicolai Nicolai Pour Homme

[Trufflehunter]

Chanel Allure
Chanel Allure Sport

Any season, any time of the day or night, these work for me.

[bigdogsleeping]

Green Irish Tweed in winter and fall Chrome spring and summer.

[DocmanCC]

Terre d'Hermes with a slight bias toward warmer weather and Caron 3e de Homme with a slight bias to colder weather, though both work well in any season.

[buzzley]

Thanks for your replies. I always like to see what different people have to say on here, and this is certainly a variety. I own a few of the fragrances named. I find it interesting that Dior Homme was mentioned a couple of times. I own it and I love it, but I see it as more of an indulgence fragrance than an all-purpose one. It seems special to me, so I deliberately don’t wear it much because I don’t want to wear it out, if that makes any sense. That does give me an idea for another thread, though, but I think I will spare you!

Thanks again.

My wardrobe trends toward the all-purpose, but I will reach for the following in any situation, as they are quite versatile for me:

Guerlain Vetiver
Green Irish Tweed
Burberry Brit for Men
Dunhill (2003)
Richard James
Terre d'Hermes

[Kevin Guyer]

Eau Lente is always a winner for me.

[genvy5]

Himalaya works from summer to winter, from the gym to professional meetings.

[levente]

I'd have to go with Hermes Equipage, which I have in the vintage formulation.

[chenzo]

Coolwater

[N_Tesla]

Mitsouko. Ambre Gris, Guerlain Vetiver, Un Jardin Sur le Nil, and Arpege Pour Homme layered with Hermes Hiris.

[smeller]

It WAS Fahrenheit, before I got this reformulated bottle...

The reformulation is not such a masterpiece, but I weared it 2 or 3 times and I have to say it's still better than most of the newish crap, if you're in the mood and can accept the changings.

But not my all-around anymore.

Ok, I don't have an all-purpose frag at this moment, I just posted to complain a bit more about Fahrenheit.

[PhillyBob]

MI in Summer
GIT and Hermes D'Orange Verte anytime

[jathanas]

I'm still deciding from a group that includes:

AdP Colonia Assoluta
Dior Homme
Scent Intense (Costume National)
L'Homme (YSL)
Terre d' Hermes

This group could grow to include: M7 Fresh based on first impressions

[richard d]

I suppose my go to's would be GIT, L'Anarchiste, Third Man, Caron PuH, Guerlain Vetiver, Chanel Sycmore and in the summer, Green Valley from Creed.

[adrianis]

Creed MI
Terre d' Hermes
Mugler Cologne

[Larwiz]

Lancome Hypnose and Gucci Pour Homme 2
