?
-A single dominant note
-Light chamber music mix
-Orchestral master mix
-I don't care, get the ladies.
To me, they serve different purposes.
However, the more complex yet well balanced formula may mean more mastery and value to me when I spend.
To me it doesn't matter.
In my case: "an even mix of all" and/or a selection diversified enough of all categories mentioned above.
a single dominant note of my interest is my choice.
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit
Orchestral master mix.
I look for something I enjoy. Minimal, complex, somewhere in between... all I care about is whether or not I enjoy it.
Molecule 01 is simple and I enjoy it.
LDDM is complex and I enjoy it.
For me, it's really that simple.
Current Favorites (in no particular order)

Terre d'Hermes Parfum
All of them... Unless I could only have one fragrance in my collection. But the point of having a large collection is that I could have some that have a single dominant note, some light blends, and some that have a bit of everything. Like most other things, I like a mix.
Its not how many notes they use -- I don't give bonus points for level of difficulty -- It's the end result. How nice does it smell to me? That is all I care about, and I enjoy a wide range of fragrance, so I have no overall preference.
Just the right mix.
I like perfumes from all three categories. I like Habit Rouge, which could be considered a Symphony, I like Hammam Bouquet, which could be considered a Concerto, and I like L'Ombre Dans L'Eau, which could be considered a Dueto.
I even like solos, such as Agua Lavanda.
I can't lie. It's all about the chicks.
And if my wife and daughters like my frags, that's good too.![]()
Somewhere between number one and two with an adamant rejection of three and four.
I would have to agree with somewhere between one and two.
