Your strongest fragrance - projection & sillage?

[silverbullet]

I'm sure there's other polls posted and I did a search and found some similar posts, but were outdated. Since 2006 I've sampled about 480 different frags and found some that were my power hitters. I'm looking for those fragrances that fit that class without longevity being a factor, but does help I would like to know your choices. Multiple selections are allowed. If not on the list, please share that.

Thanks,
Jack

[change1]

Kouros

[cacio]

In your set, hard to beat the Montales for sheer power.

If we include attars, then also Tribute can project like crazy. Nonetheless, the most powerful frag I've ever smelled was the demonic Complex by Boadicea. Like being dipped in a tannery. Unwearable and scary.

Amouage, Interlude Man. Two sprays from a sample vial is beastly on me, lasting 24 hours and ending up on my t-shirt and the button down worn over it for days even though I sprayed directly on skin, and the scent definitely projects. That's 2 sprays from a sample vial sprayer with 1 to the chest and 1 on my back. It's not even from an actual bottle sprayer! Wow.

[badarun]

Montale BA rules & will win the poll IMO.

I have very dry skin & good parfums last abt half the time on me compared to any others. But BA is a monster 12+hrs. Other worthy mentions are almost all the other Montale's / Amouage's (mainly the attar's) / Lapidus PH / Malle's MR or POAL / surprisingly Knize 10 / Amen & Le Male - all fall in the 6-10 hr category...

[fraddicted]

Yatagan, Kouros and Aramis.

[Renaissance_Man]

Montale Black Aoud.

Agar Musk - Ramón Monegal

[MFfan310]

I'm surprised that zero people so far have mentioned A*Men. That scent is #1 on my list from my collection when it comes to projection and sillage... any more than 1 spray of A*Men on me will choke a rhino.

Honorable mentions go to M7 and New York, though both are weaker than A*Men on me (still, don't go over 2 spritzes on either).

[Akahina]

I voted cor Black Aoud. I love it and it xoes not fail!

With that said, I once sprayed three sprays of Fleur du Male and went out to a gay nightclub. It may be the only time people turned and stared at me because of my fragrance. I have to admit choking myself out! I still sort of like the smell but in very small doses.

[Incontinent]

Weird. New York is my favorite from the list, but I've never thought of it as a power scent. In fact, I always found it a rather subtle yet distinct chypre.

[Buysblind]

Wearing Olive + Pear today I've realized that for the first 3 to 4 hours this may be my strongest projecting fragrance, followed by Aventus, Norne, and LDDM.

[noirdrakkar]

1 million. 8 hours in and it's STILL a bomb

[Francesco]

Guerlain vetiver - chanel egoiste- amouage reflection men - LDDM - musc ravageur

[Derbyman]

Bogart One Man Show Gold - thermonuclear!!!!

[martinijo]

From my wardrobe I think it's Egoiste.

[Mick_Trick]

[alfarom]

It has to be Rien for me...

[The Smelly Scientist]

So far of the around 40 or so fragrances I have tested, there are 2 that stand out

1. Aventus: Projection - 72.5 inches, Sillage - 33 seconds
and
2. Leather Oud: Projection - 66 inches, Sillage - 36 seconds

[miguelan75]

Ambre 114

[bejahu]

For me, the king is Joop! Homme. Tremendous projection and longevity.
Montale's Red Aoud is a close 2nd.

[onethinline]

From what I have tried and what I own:

Dior Leather Oud
Chanel Coromandel
Montale Dark Aoud
Mugler A*Men (eeeek)

[timdoeswell]

In your set, hard to beat the Montales for sheer power.

I agree - Montales are insanely powerful. It's a toss-up between BA and Cuir d'Arabie for the most overtly powerful fragrance in my collection.

Wearing Olive + Pear today I've realized that for the first 3 to 4 hours this may be my strongest projecting fragrance, followed by Aventus, Norne, and LDDM.

Brilliant - now I really can't wait for my Slumberhouse sample set to get here. The combination of Pear and Olive sounds so different, and to hear it's a powerhouse? I'm excited!

[suds]

Tobacco Vanille!

[dougczar]

#1: Costume National - Homme. You can run, but you can't hide.

Other radioactive fragrances:
Paco - 1 Million
Amouage - Interlude Man
Amouage - Opus V
Bond No. 9 - New York Amber


Also,
+1 on the Pear + Olive - A little goes a LONG way...

[MJM_77]

Amber Absolute is ridiculousness in a bottle! A* Men isn't too far behind.

[QWERTYOP]

I'd have to ask somebody else. I don't know how a wearer can be aware of just how much they're projecting.

[bigsteve]

VanCleef and Arpels PH
1 Million
Sung Homme
and Prada Amber seems pretty good

[dwrestle]

Kouros
Bogart PH
Giorgio
Lapidus
OMS Gold

[BrianH1016]

1 Million is easily my strongest. I can use 1/2 spray and still smell if clearly at the end of the day.

[FullCollapse]

It has to be Rien for me...

This with out a doubt! Next in line is Egoiste Cologne Concentree, then Kouros

[david]

Eau Du Soir ~ Sisley
Aromatics Elixir ~ Clinique
Boss no1
Largerfeld
Lapidus
Egoiste
Basilie Uomo
Lancetti Uomo
Eau Noire
.....and quite a few others.

[Rüssel]

Perhaps Lapidus pour Homme, Giorgio Beverly Hills, One Man Show Gold. Bijan for men I remember to be pretty strong too.

[Stinkyboi]

i like bond no 9 new york oud which i hear is similar to montale black oud

[SillageMonger]

Giorgio for Men by Giorgio Beverly Hills
