5 greatest male fragrances of all time

[Neurosis]

The question is "greatest" not best selling, or "top" or popular.

All of the choices listed are subjective.

I believe that is exactly why the question was asked here, for opinions as opposed to statistical figures that can only prove sales volume, and won't require a thread or discussion.

Alright, i believe i've misunderstood the topic then. The OP was naming famous athletes as examples so i assumed popularity had to be a factor. Time to edit my list!

I don't even care about the other 4. Without a moment of reservation I have to add Amouage Reflection Man to the recommendations. Yes, this is completely subjective, but I don't care!

My more objective list would include:

Caron Yatagan
Dior Fahrenheit
RL Polo
Ungaro II
Amouage Gold Men

Amouage Reflection Man
MPG Bois de Turquie

[CanwllCorfe]

Hm.. I didn't think I'd be able to do this so I acted like a scent newb.. very stealthy. Now that I've thought about it (in no particular order):

L'instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
Gucci Pour Homme II
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Bond no. 9 New Haarlem
Creed Millesime Imperial

I'm sure it will change in no time

Greatness as defined by mass appeal and what I think will stand the test of time...

1.) Old Spice
2.) Aqua di Gio
3.) Green Irish Tweed
4.) 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser ( yeah I know it's classified as unisex...I may be bending the rule)
5.) Knize Ten

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that 4 or 5 of these will be around in 30 years.
