Among others, also adding Tuscany, Eau Sauvage Parfum, Boucheron pour Homme EDP, Lalique White, most Hugh Prasons fragrances especially Blue and Yellow

Even with the ambroxan, still enjoying not just regular Polo Green but also most of its flankers to consider at least some testing if not also ultimately owning this EDP version

Thank you for the recommendation. Always on the look for more outstanding tobacco options.

Congratulations for owning this and thank you for the impressions shared.
One of the most fascinating and complex classics, great on its own both as a vintage and also in any version/formulation.

C & E Sandalwood

8 sprays of C&E Sandalwood

C&E Sandalwood

From a personal viewpoint alone, almost anything in the wardrobe currently owned and/or tested.

On a more general scale, possibly the usual designer and niche bestsellers like Aventus, the DH and...

Maybe too many fragrances in the current wardrobe do happen to also have backups: the most striking being perhaps Guerlain Heritage EDT in the range of at least 5-6 vintage 100 plus bottles.
While...

Congratulations and enjoy! Glad for you achieving such impressive and rewarding vintage find.

Although liking the actual watch brand, never knew until now that they also do fragrances

Never so far, although some did unintentionally have a certain but not overly dramatic nor exorbitant increase in value (provided they were vintage, became meanwhile discontinued and were stored...

8 sprays of Zino

Zino

Maybe also Boucheron PH EDP, Opus 1870 by Penhaligon's, LM Oud Noir, Stetson by Coty, Voyage d'Hermes Parfum

Few to none so far personally known, the exceptions that confirm the rule might include several TDH inspired ones (though not 100% carbon copy renditions) like Zara Norrland, Yardley Citrus & Wood,...

From a personal viewpoint alone, at least decent enough to render the aspects of this fragrance that still remained enjoyable in the current formulation

Though liking each, voted for Allure Home Sport Eau Extreme as both personal favorite and thus likeliest recommendation from these two

In sync with Fate Man (from a sample)

6 or slightly more sprays of Fate Man

Fate Man by Amouage (from a sample)

Swiss army (likely to overlap with both clean and hot weather, at least by personal standards) - Mugler Cologne
Clean - Azzaro PH l'Eau
Date night - Endymion EDC
Hot weather - Cartier Roadster

To a certain extent and just subjectively speaking, perhaps to a certain extent Joop Homme.
While the performance still remains unchanged and therefore outstandingly good, its animalic and/or burnt...

Might go with Fate Man from a sample (did not wear this for a while anyway, therefore the more curious about shaping up/developing over time)

Also adding Voyage d'Hermes EDT and Parfum, Dior Homme l'Eau and Higher/Higher Energy by Dior, Chanel Egoiste Platinum

Great recommendations already, adding almost anything by Hugh Parsons, YSL pour Homme Haute Concentration, Boucheron pour Homme EDP

Would rate both almost equally and each quite highly ranked in terms of versatility, perhaps with a slight preference towards Allure Homme Eau Extreme, based more on subjective tastes rather than...

Might go for a few favorites almost irrespective of the price-but with the disclaimer of having likely enjoyed these just as much even if they would have not been by Creed and/or associated with the...

Quite few great recommendations already, also adding particularly Tissot, Doxa and Junghans (at least, some of the series/ranges of each brands among each)

Few to none so far. Apart from avoiding heavy leathery/animalic, sweet gourmand and/or too pungently exotic spices in sweltering summer heat (but even there, mostly in the 30-40 Celsius and...

Actually quite a bit, regarding both the scent and the performance gotten from this

Old Spice in the vintage splash bottle EDT version

10 dabs from a splash bottle of Old Spice EDT

SOTE: Old Spice EDT

Also adding Endymion EDC by Penhaligon's, Ungaro Man Silver and the Blue Beard's Revenge EDT

SOTD Denim Musk

Since Ungaro III was mentioned, also its flankers Oud, Parfum Aromatique as well as Gold & Bold

Congratulations and enjoy!

A truly great buy, providing often inexpensively (actually in the case of most if not nearly all offline and online retailers of this fragrance) a luxurious, mature...

Welcome!

Also adding Chypre and Hesperide from the 7 Parfums Capitaux range by Jovoy Paris.

As well as some of the fresher EDC style smart-casual scents from the Blu Mediterraneo range by...

Also adding Krizia Uomo and Yatagan by Caron

Among others, in no particular order:

niche and/or vintage - Feminite du Bois in the Shiseido and/or Lutens version, maybe also some of the scents in the 7 Parfums Capitaux range by Jovoy
...

Apart from the Sport flanker, also adding the Cologne flanker from the Dior Homme range

Many great ideas beginning with the initial post and amply completed by equally informative replies, also adding:
Best of Chevignon, Lalique White, Eau des Missions by Le Couvent des Minimes, Dior...

Some of the best both blind and also among previously tested thoroughly buys were thanks to BN recommendations, knowledge and kind, generous advice

8 sprays of One Man Show

One Man Show

One Man Show

Most likely only got to buy, own and use this fragrance after its reformulation and still altogether quite glad (in addition to its inexpensive price) about its performance and actual scent

Happening to own a bottle identical to the in the first and the 18th post-likely a version subsequent to the initial vintage one

Out of these two, still happening to like YSL La Nuit a bit more-maybe more so in its EDP flanker with some added longevity.
While otherwise still having to test both this version of Code and the...

Also adding Kenzo Jungle and Joop Nightflight

While liking this one indeed very much, personally and subjectively (thus at the risk of being inaccurate/wrong) considering this one a tad less unisex than No. 19 or Cristalle by the same house

If having to choose only one of these, it would be likely a close combat between Azzaro PH and Paco Rabanne - though liking RL Polo green as well, still having the feeling of getting the most out of...

Thank you for sharing the info and glad you found additional info about some backup and/or alternative possibilities

Thank you for the updates, also adding emo Paris and Franck Boclet as houses worth (re) testing for almost all seasons wear.
While among single fragrances especially Azzaro PH l'Eau, Best of...

So far got quite good performance from Infusion d'Homme and Infusion de Vetiver

Maybe any fragrance with both office friendly and inoffensive notes, without coming off as too boring, light, generic, airy or sanitized.
Luckily most of the French but also Italian, British etc....

Many great suggestions already, also taking the liberty to add austere dry wood fragrances ranging anywhere from the technically No. 19 to R&G Open.
Showing that almost single note/mono-theme woody...

1- Lalique White

2- Akkad by Lubin

3- Sartorial by Penhaligon's

So far, never got low performance from this-though admittedly without any recent retesting for performance

From a personal viewpoint alone, inclined to recommend this as a blind buy- regarding both its quality for generally affordable pricing and gradually getting to know your fragrance tastes

Brut in an older EDT concentration

6 sprays of Brut EDT

Zino Davidoff by Davidoff
2 wears

6 sprays of Eau de Grey Flannel

Too many to include, some already aforementioned here.

In addition to most of the ones mentioned above, the final selection/closest competition would be likely between most Bogarts that are...

From a personal viewpoint alone, this one might contain elements of both, tending perhaps more towards a fougere.

Moderately sweet, at least from a personal viewpoint alone.
Mainly because after an initial blast of powdery sandalwood mingled with animalic notes and also quite sweet vanillic and floral ones-...

So far liked 2Man most and therefore more inclined to recommend this one

Thank you for sharing this description and impressions about Eternity.
So far, the only second thought about its current/recent formulation (s) were about the possibility of lower performance,...

While almost 100% agreeing that past fragrance ages were ideal for chypre, oakmoss, animalic, piney etc. classics and powerhouses, not entirely disappointed about the current fragrance age either. ...

Around 9 sprays of Zino

Thank you for sharing this post, relating even more so since both Z-14 are 1-12 long term personal favorites.

With Z-14 being even more of a personal favorite would still own and purchase...

Tending to believe that the Eau Sauvage Perfume did not go bad, however it far more that its myrrh notes might seem a bit too linear and simple (having never been bothered by this detail so far)-also...

From personal experience, did so far only notice rather the opposite-the top and to a lesser extent occasionally the mid notes being likelier affected, while the base intact

Thank you for the very detailed informative post and extensive pictures of Wild Country.
While familiar especially with the sweeter current version still happen to like, also do know the vintage...

Zino

Maybe anything apart from too heavy, formal, sweet/gourmand and/or leathery scents.
However something fresh, be it of the aquatic type like Insese Ultramarine or most male Kenzo, minty like Cartier...

Not exactly knowing what to recommend, likely needing to know further specifics before any decision/advice- most likely to choose one of the most classic scents in the lineup

From a personal viewpoint alone, tending to second any opinion so far about still getting decent performance from this scent

If not going completely unscented (but wearing an efficient deodorant), would most likely go for something like Chrome or Mugler Cologne

Thank you for the reply. In the end went with for On El incidentally and also happened to like its twin scent On Ella - a wonderfully rich but also fresh early 2000s versatile Mediterranean scent,...

Having sold, traded and/or discarded few to almost no scents so far and especially not the scent lineup's abridged version/dream team of long term personal favorites (unless there were too many...

Although do not own vintage citrus fragrances that old yet (or if so, at least unaware of this), did not notice in any scent of at least one if not a few decades of age containing citrus notes or...

Among the pricier ones, perhaps Zarkoperfume Molecule No 8.

Among the more affordable options, Guerlain Homme Intense and most of the Homme as well as l'Homme Ideal range, surprisingly the quite...

Already a great collection, to the point that it may be difficult to find something else highly different from these that stands out as a scent wardrobe highlight - since your current lineup is...

Great recommendations already, also adding most of the Xerjoff scents, especially if in the Shooting Stars and XJ series, Fougere Royale by Houbigant, Sartorial by Penhaligon's, Amouage Bracken, most...

Great names already, also adding Lalique Homme as EDP (though released almost instantly with its EDT version), several Guerlains like Habit Rouge EDP, the EDP concentrations of Hermes modern classics...

Being only familiar with the White Musk among the scents mentioned, apart from owning Mugler Cologne, would even go perhaps a step further and compare this fresh scent by Mugler to a few more fresh...

Maybe also something like Boucheron pour Homme EDP, Lalique Homme EDP, Guerlain Homme Intense and/or Eau Boisee, Voyage d'Hermes Parfum - all of these easily on budget and fitting both the evening...

Great suggestions already, also adding Azzaro Visit, Dior Dune PH, various TDH flankers like Eau Fraiche and Eau Intense Vetiver, Creed OV, Chanel Egoiste Platinum, Eau de Rochas

Also adding Lalique White, Best of Chevignon, Azzaro pour Homme l'Eau among the brightest non aquatic, nor (coconut/other fruit notes type of sweet) light summer scents currently available

In addition to so many great suggestions, also adding the admittedly minimal patchouli notes in quite however office friendly scents like:
Yardley Citrus & Wood, Sartorial by Penhaligon's, vintage...

Inclined to recommend either with no second thoughts-however slightly inclined even more towards the Polo.
Because of having paradoxically owned and/or tested both the vintage and the current...

Another vote for the MI out of these two

8 sprays of On El

On El by J del Pozo

Though owning the masculine version of Giorgio Beverly Hills Red with its plethora of notes (not necessarily as a disadvantage, quite the opposite) still torn between this one and J del Pozo On El,...
