but especially the five mentioned above.

I too only have what i love. I do love some more than others, and those are the ones i wear regularly. I have had quite a few throughout the years that i have purchased, used up, purchased a 2nd time and then couldnt stomach them.
i have a bottle of Emporio HE from 1999 or so that is my 2nd bottle. I can't stand the smell anymore. I go for the bottle now and then, because the memory of when i did wear it is was great. But as soon as i take a wiff, i back off.
Now my main frags are Aventus, Terre d'Hermes, Voyage d'Hermes, Dior Homme (sometimes Intense as well), Prada APH
And on occasion, i spray on some of my vintage D&G PH. Only 2 bottles left.
I try to keep updated a top 40 of my collection, so the new 'very most wanted' entries have a place in it. I noticed that in the last couple of years I've bought much more than I expected, so in reality I use only small fractions of the entire collection.
Short answer: about 70% of my wardrobe.
"I love fragrances because they provide a sheer endless variety: there is a scent for every occasion, mood or feeling. Standing before my collection matching a perfume to my needs is one of the most enjoyable things in my day..."
Top 16 Spring :: Amouage Epic : Dior ESP : TF Grey Vetiver : Mancera Aoud Cafe : Amouage Honour : YSL Rive Gauche : AdP Colonia Oud : Amouage Myths : Montale Full Incense : Amouage Journey : L'AP Timbuktu : Amouage Memoir : Rochas Lui : LIDG : Cartier Must : Dior Dune
Tough call. But I probably wouldn't want to be without Invasion Barbare, Sartorial, 24 rue Cambon, Noir Patchouli and Tubereuse Capricieuse .
I think Ungaro III vintage, because i don't have it more than 2 bottles. Memoir Man as well. I guess i have enough of all the rest in my collection so i won't run out off them.
"Le parfum est la musique du corps" (Marcel Rochas)
1 Million, Angel Men and Mont Blanc Legend.
Not sure if I would purchase Allure Homme Sport again.
I'd honestly purchase quite a few of my frags again, but the couple I am gonna need to restock pretty imminently are :
Creed - Aventus
The Different Company - Sel de Vetiver. I absolutely love this stuff, smells really different, unique and amazing.
***My friend, there are two kinds of people in this world : those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.***
GIT, MI and LIDGE for definite re buys.
Aventus and pure havane maybe..
Boss Bottled. Although I still have about 175 ml left.
Possible GPH II
DH & DHI, Prada amber ph & Prada Infusion D'homme, Gucci p2 & Armani diamonds.
My favourites.
Egoiste, Rive Gauche, 1881, Live Jazz, Kouros, Bulgari PH, Dior Homme, Michael Kors and Nina Ricci Phileas. (If I can find any)
Probably all of them, as and when I run out of them. But I reckon that what I have will pretty much see me through until I have to don the old pine overcoat..
Life's a bitch. If it were a slut it'd be easy.
Kouros
Antaeus
Aramis 900
HdP 1740
Encre Noire
Cuir De Russie
That was surprisingly simple.
About of 90% of the fragrances I bought bottles of.
Aventus
Dior Homme
YSL L'Homme
Maybe also GPH2 even though I have some longevity issues..
Almost all perfumes of my Wardrobe
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
RGPH every time but only if I come upon a brand new tin can.
Bel ami, new or vintage
Habit rouge
Derby vintage (bee bottle)
Timbuktu
Perchance GIT
Agree, not need to mention, Les Eaux...

So far I'm reasonably happy with my purchases.
I'd repurchase:
MI, GIT, Himalaya, TV (decant), Jubilation XXV (decant), Aventus, etc.
Frapin - 1697 (absolu concentration if I could locate it again)
Frapin - 1270
Amouage - Jubilation XXV for Men
Costume National - Scent Intense
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Absolue Pour le Soir
Serge Lutens - Gris Clair
Bond no. 9 - Silver Factory
Tauer - L`Air du Desert Marocain
LIDGE
GIT
Aventus
Original Vetiver
Silver Mountain Water
Gucci Pour Homme II
Burberry London
Rochas Man
Tobacco Vanille
There are a few that I won't be without (and I already have backups of a couple)
RGPH, I have a second tin can on the way
Fahrenheit, just received a second bottle (along with shower gel and deodorant for Christmas)
Tuscany by Aramis, have two bottles
Guerlain Vetiver, have one bottle but I will buy again when I run low
Probably about 40 out of my rather large collection. Some of the essentials that I cannot be without are: Bvlgari Black, Burberry London, Eau des Baux, Paul Smith Man, Fahrenheit, Body Korous, Vera Wang, Dunhill Pure, Corduroy, Live Jazz and more.
"God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator." -Stephan Hawking
Aventus (30ml) and Chanel PE are running fairly low. I'd buy them both again immediately.
I continually rotate about 70% of my fragrances. Therefore I would purchase them again. The others I will keep for collective purposes.
Of the perfumes that I have collected so far, it would be easier to say which I wouldn't buy again. There are really only four that I find either overpriced and underwhelming, or, I just don't like the juice:
Navegar(L'Artisan) V8 anyone?
No. 68(Guerlain) Kitchen sink concoction
Cool Water(Davidoff) Not my cup of juice
Bois d'Armenie(Guerlain) over/under.

Fahrenheit
Tonka Imperial
Prada Amber Pour Homme
Tobacco Vanille
Tea for Two
Menthe Fraiche
Pure Havane
Rive Gauche (+1 back up bottle)
Those are fragrances I would definitely purchase again.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
I think my taste is constantly changing. I can say now I cant live without Odin 01, Allure Edition Blanche, and Pure Havane, my current favorites. I dont love them as much as I did a few months back so I can assume I wont love them as much by the time I ever finish. My collection is constantly growing so I dont see it happening anytime soon. If there was a timeless fragrances I had to buy only due to my work it be Boss Bottled.
