Mouchoir de Monsieur is the only one I can give 10/10 to without any hesitation.

I never rate fragrances though so I've just been really really strict.
10/10 fragrances:
Haute Claire by Aftelier Perfumes
Secret Garden by Aftelier Perfumes

Taste of Fragrance
Paul Smith Man
MiP EDP
Terre D Hermes
M7
Artisan
London Burberry
Eau De Bavx etc
------------------------------------------------
For what its worth!
Considering it's 10 out of 10, and not just my "favorites" I would have to say none really. I have smelled a lot that I really like and think very highly of but nothing that is perfect or that I would consider to be my holy grail. But to be fair I have only sampled 1/100th of what most of you have.
Sycomore and JXXV
None. But some of the 5-star fragrances in my wardrobe i would rate 9.
"Le parfum est la musique du corps" (Marcel Rochas)
Dhi
Lidge
Scent intense
Pure malt
Aventus (Creed)
Lumiere Noire Pour Homme (Maison Francis Kurkdjian)
EGOiSTE
TERRE HERMES
ALLURE
RIVE GAUCHE
For me, a 10/10 perfume combines my pleasure, as a wearer, and the importance of the frag in the recent history of that beautiful vice that we share.
So:
Givenchy Gentlemen
Azzaro PH
Aramis
Davidoff Cool Water
Paco Rabanne PH
Terre d.Hermes
Dior Eau Sauvage
Armani Eau PH

10/10? Tricky. And my choice would be probably be different if you asked me again in a few months. But here's a first pass...
Chanel Égoïste
Czech & Speake No. 88
Creed Original Vetiver
Dior Eau Sauvage
Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum
Guerlain Jicky EdP
Guerlain Vetiver

YSL Rive Gauche

From my small, humble collection, I'd rate the following 10/10: Egoiste by Chanel, Red for Men by Giorgio Beverly Hills, Prada Amber pour Homme Intense, and though many might heartily laugh and vehemently disagree: Stetson by Coty.
3.
DioR Homme Intense
Tobacco Vanille
Aventus
Chanel Coromandel
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
I can wear these 2 for the rest of my life and not get sick of it. 10/10
A lot of my favorites are close 10's, Aventus is my most versatile fragrance so its a 10+
I recently started so I'd say DHI vintage, YSL La Nuit, M7 vintage, and spice bomb (just almost everyone adores it on me) also I got my hands on oud oil and its really good IMO (though burberry london was a 10 for me not so long ago). Going to get my hands on Aventus and Dior Dune in the future Inshahallah so that may count too
- Loewe Esencia: Sheer green perfection in a bottle
- MPG: Santal Noble: A sandalwood smell that is very hard to dislike; very well blended sophisticated juice
- Paco Rabanne pour homme (real vintage): Just smell it and you'll know. It's nothing like latest versions
My Top '11' : (In no particular order)
- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vtg)
- Paco Rabanne: pour homme (vtg)
- Armani: Acqua di Gio Profumo
- Davidoff: Leather Blend Edp
- Rasasi: Al Wisam Day
- Dior: Fahrenheit (vtg)
- YSL: Kouros (Fraîcheur)
- Mancera: Cedrat Boise
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Knize Ten
- Amouage: Interlude
Aventus
Noir de Noir
Timbuktu
Tea for Two
Musc Ravageur
Everything in my very small wardrobe:
Ungaro II
Fahrenheit (vintage)
D&G Pour Homme (vintage)
Dunhill Edition (vintage)
Rive Gauche pour Homme (tin can)
Casual Friday
Amber Absolute
Yohji homme
IUNX L'Ether
Tobacco Vanille
