From your list these would be my picks:
Voyage D'Hermes EDT
L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme
Fahrenheit
So, straight down to the detail for my first post, I'm after some opinions to help me narrow down a couple of buys to prepare me for the rest of year. I'm at a point where I'm happy with my collection but I think it's a bit lacking in evening wear and also for the colder seasons. I've come up with the following lists based on my tastes and what sounds appealling:
For Autumn/Spring Daytime:
Hermes; Voyage D'Hermes EDT
Issey Miyake; L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme Intense
Jean Paul Gautier; Fleur du Male
CdG; Wonderwood
Dsquared2; Rocky Mountain Wood
Out of this list, I've got samples coming for everything except Rocky Mountain Wood, which is upsetting, because from what i've heard it might be the one I'd like most! I want to narrow it down to 1, possibly 2.
For Winter Daytime:
Boucheron; Jaipur Homme EDP
Guerlain; L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme
Christian Dior; Dior Homme
I can't get samples of Boucheron or Guerlain LIDGE, I have tried Dior Homme in the shops several times and always find myself sniffing all day afterwards. I am concerned LIDGE is too rich for daytime wear, I have Jaipur EDT which smells lovely but I find it lacking in longevity and sillage, hoping the EDP improves this?
For Eveningwear:
Christian Dior; Farenheit
Yves Saint Laurent; La Nuit De L'homme
I've sampled both, on the fence on this one, I get they are completely different.
I am also making two definite buys in the near future, getting Dior Homme Intense and Narciso Rodriguez for him intense EDP which i've sampled and smells amazing!
So then, any help/opinion greatly appreciated!
From your list these would be my picks:
Voyage D'Hermes EDT
L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme
Fahrenheit
I am very tepid about aquatics (Issey). To your list, I'd add Chanel Egoiste, a warm sandalwood that's elegant and good both for work and for evenings.
cacio
For Autumn/Spring Daytime:
Dsquared2; Rocky Mountain Wood
For Winter Daytime:
Christian Dior; Farenheit
For Eveningwear:
Guerlain; L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme
I would also recommend Egoiste for autumn, absolutely perfect for the season (and into the winter). Give it a try if you can, to test longevity. L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme is a nice choice as well.
LIGE, Voyage D'Hermes, Fahrenheit. Try Kokorico too.
