Knize Ten
Hard Leather

Out of your list Cuir de Russie get the most compliments from my intimate friends.

They bath soaps are excellent, real soap not degreaser. The don't dry out my skin. The shave soaps are good, slick and protective.

Seoul is a lot more tolerant about perfume now. I get questions from some of the women at the gym about perfume and different brands. The horizons are definitely expanding here.

I own MR and TV, TV is good but MR is very special. For me MR is more for romance and for wearing on a cold day. TV is little sweeter than I like for everyday wear but I do enjoy it.

Cheap fun powerhouses:

Bill Blass Mr Blass the fun drunk well dressed man at the party.

Jovan Sex Appeal the name says it all.

Tabac clean soapy tobacco flower scent.

Another vote for Sonoma Scent Studios Tabac Aurea. No mention yet so SMN Acqua de Cuba. I use both of these in the summer and I to prefer the non-sweet cigar like frags.

Roja Dove is brutally expensive but amazing. Creed OV smells great but doesn't toast on me. I would add these two:
Dior Vetiver
Guerlain Vetiver

If it's still early and maybe first time or two for romance then Malle Musc Ravaguer. If it's really going to be an intense evening the Musc Koubla Khan or Kouros. If I'm feeling dominant then Knize...

Sonoma Scent Studios pure incense is well pure incense. Very natural and high quality.

In no particular order:

Chanel Antaeus
Rive Gauche PH
Knize 10
Guerlain Vetiver
Dior Cuir Cannage

And the alternates:
Dior Eau Savauge

I don't get any Amber either. This is a rich 80s type power house and a great value.

Tabac Original
Bill Blass Mr. Blass

Two that perform way above their price.

Azzaro is nice but RGPH is a classic. Easy choice for me RGPH, you can still find some 'tin can' RGPH on the 'bay

I admit I do I too. When home alone I will over spray on of my more potent ones like Kouros or MKK or Leather Oud.

My gf thinks I m crazy and wasting money. So I rotate my responses:

You bought my first two bottles.

It takes money away from my bad habits and bad hobbies.

My collection cost less than...

I own a bottle of the Dior Pathcouli Imperial and the more I wear the more I love it. Get a decant so you can wear it a couple times. It is by far my favorite Pathcouli.

Knize Ten

Antaeus

MKK

I am hoping to sample some of the earlier suggestions.

Wow free international shipping.

Scarce I hope you won't miss you're Le Labo Patchouli 24 too much.

Expensive Lutens Rose de Nuit I had to order it from Paris and then shipping.

For under $20 Mr. Blass a great retro powerhouse style, boozy and fun.

Under the influence 12 sprays of Kouros. The first three days were pretty rough but days 4-7 were just right.

If it gurantees sex then #1, but I know of only two frags that deliver this Sex Appeal and Hi Karate.

So.....

Smell and performance with price a distant third and only if it is completely...

Just to the feminine side of unisex, but I wear and enjoy it. It's a dark sensual rose that I am comfortable wearing at night but not at th office.

RGPH is one of my favorites but not for the soapy smell. When I want to smell soapy and clean I like Tabac.

52, white, straight, libertarian but enjoying living in a Confucian world. Seoul is a great place for an older straight man.

Full masculine but I admit there is a vintage No5 hidden in the back I wear sometimes at home.

For just a general I'm da king feeling Antaues. For feeling like a bad ass king Knize 10 or Hard Leather.

Cuir de Russie in EDP or EDT. I'm can't wait for cooler weather so I can start wearing it again.

Cuir de Russie Chanel but it smells masculine to me.

Portrait of a Lady, but just at home.

Vintage No 5. This is amazing stuff.

I can't choice a favorite between Leather oud and Cuir Cannage. I I also like the Patchouli Imperial and Oud Isaphan. I look forward to trying more from this line. I have been impressed with most I...

I rotate by season, mood, event etc... So I have a couple
Green Irish Tweed
Knize 10
Antaeus

Many good ones mentioned I would add Knize Ten, it's some dirty leather.

Sex appeal for men. You don't even need to wear all you need is the confidence to buy it.

Seriously, Musc Ravaguer.

MKK since I don't think I would wear it outside the house, vintage Chanel no. 5 for the same reason. Sex Appeal by Jovan because if anyone asked me what I am wearing I'm not sure what I would say.

Dior has been on a roll:
Leather Oud
Patchouli Imperial
Cuir Cannage
Oud Ispahan

The aluminum can version is a classic. Sadly one great frag reformulated without reason.

Your correct, I shouldn't post under the influence.

Just came out and it's not in the poll Cuir Cannage

For night wear and citric I like:

SMN Acqua di Cuba, citric but with Tabacco and leather that works well in the summer.

For romantic evening Jicky even though citrus is not the main player.

Mr. Blass by Bill Blass for spring and fall evenings. About $20 for a fun powerhouse.

Creed Green Irish Tweet spring summer, day or night.

Guerlain Vetiver day or night any season

Knize Ten...

Two recent acquisitions wowed me:
A split of Roja Dove Vetiver and a vintage Chanel No. 5 EDP.

You can still find RG in the tin cans, it is with looking for. There is a new version but I haven't smelled it.

Dirty Leathers:
Knize Ten
Hard Leather

Elegant leather:
Chanel Cuir de Russie
Derby

I have the parfum and a EDT Cuir de Russie. I like the EDT better. Luxurious leather defiantly more masculine than feminine. One of my favorite leathers.

Antaeus versus Egoist... maybe but against Plat Egoist its and easy choice for me, Antaeus

I have a split of this and I would not describe it as feminine. Definitely unisex but slightly to the masculine side.

+1 on MKK, Kourous and Knize Ten and I will add Guerlain Jicky and Chanel Cuir de Russie to the stank list.

My current favorites
Chanel - Cuir de Russie, Antaeus
Amouage - Memoir Man, Jubilation XXV
Dior - Leather Oud, Patchouli Imperial, Eua Sauvage EDT
Guerlain - Derby, Vetiver

Very different and my preference is for MM, one of my favorites.

In no special order

Noir de Noir
Black Oud
Portrait of a Lady
Rose de Nuit Lutens
Amouge Hommage

Try Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens and Aqua Di Cuba by SMN. I find both these to nit be sweet and my favorite Tabacco frags.

Chanel:
Antaeus, Egoist
Guerlain:
Vetiver, Mouchior de Monsieur
Dior
Eau Sauvage
Tabac Origninal
YSL
Rive Gauche shaving can, Kouros
Hermes

I'm with the OP, I will complain to YSL too.

Thank you for all the help. Musc Ravegeur. Is in the lead. One more night to think about it before the final selection.

I am mid 40's

Thank you everyone for suggestions keep them coming.

That's the way I think so that is why I am asking for opinions.

It's winter here so it's cold. Romantic dinner with view of the city. Semi formal dress code.

I wasn't sure which would be better so I posted here since it is for a man and a male fragrance. If there are not many responses I will post in the female fragrance discussion forum. Thanks for the...

Ladies,

I have a big second date coming up and I need to pick a romantic (and sexy;) frag. On our first date she wore CoCo by Chanel and told me it was one of her favourites. She is mid forties,...

Another vote for
Rive Gauche
Invasion Barbare

I have used them multiple times with no problem. Once the sent the wrong product, a Creed. I sent them a picture and they sent the right one. They have also reimbursed me twice for customs charges.

My three Chanel's are:
Antaeus
Cuir de Russie
Egoist

I would alternate between Antaeus and Kouros. Each time I would go 10 sprays and dare anyone to say anything. For days when I have serious biz to take of Musc Koubla Khan of course.

Über macho powerhouse

I love
Kouros
Anataeus
Knize 10

Hate
Musc Koubla Khan
Yatagan

Amouage Jubilation
Dior Patchouli Imperial
Malle Musc Ravageur

Love: oud, Vetiver, leather
Loathe: fecal

I ordered from STC and my order arrived in less than 9 days to Korea. Two frags were out of stock but they arrived 2days later. Well done STC. My order from TPC took more than a month and they would...

Yeah my samples arrived.:laugh:

I have been watching my package works it way through USPS and it looks it should be on it's way to Korea now.

I did place an order with Surrender to Chance and they have been very responsive and...

Progress. The post office site shows they received the package Nov 3. It say it has left the sort facility so I hope it's flying it's way to Seoul now.

My order still has not been received by the post office and now their website is down for several days while it is updated. This is concerning. Still no response to my last email from 10 days ago.

I feel the same:cry: I need to be more patient and due my due diligence. Good luck!

I would not count on getting your samples for a long time and not because of the hurricane. After two weeks my order was finally marked completed last Friday. But it was a trick, I just checked...

I wished I had read this thread first. I ordered 11 days ago and still not shipped. I don't mind waiting some but this over the top. I am not interested in excuses, I will try the other vendor in the...
