I congratulate myself on having four out of your ten picks. What I value most about your reviews over all others is that your descriptions most closely match my own experience with those fragrances I have also smelled. It's the reason I trust you. With many other reviews I wonder if they have actually smelled the stuff or just go by Fragrantica. There is a fair amount of group think in the fragrance community. Anyway, thanks for what you do.

wooow ... what a brilliant picks !!!! i agree with everything you picked ... each of them is unique, smelling classy and timeless ... also agree with Colonia Intensa, Prada Amber pour homme for fall and winter and Man In Black (also one of my few faves and mature smelling designer scents with classiness)

Awesome list. The opening of Platinum Egoiste smells like Replica's At The Barbers. PE smells liner while at the barbers turns into a shaving cream leather smell. I love both.

Thank you for posting this interesting video. You do a great job reviewing these. I own hundreds of fragrances. Funny that two you mention I have blind purchased, but have yet to receive. The Man in Black and the Colonia Intensa.

Actually wearing Colonia Intensa today! Love the sour green herbs mixing with the myrrh. So well blended, but extraordinarily weak on my skin after the first half hour. Need to spray my clothes with that one. Love your picks tho. Huge fan of GIT, Enigma and Costume National Homme. I might go with HdP's 1899 over MiB or any of the Spicebombs; but I gotta say, Infrared really is quite good. Really hope Bvlgari start making more flankers of MiB. Essence, Black Orient and Cologne were all well done.

Great list. My fav recommendation from you this year was HdP 1828. Crisp, clean, but still a bit unique with the eucalyptus My picks: 1. Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cool - The mint opener is refreshing, then has a nice, sweet cherry/almond dry down. Works great for the office 2. M Micallef - Royal Vintage 2020. Smokey and appley opener. Similar vibe to aventus/orchid man/floris 1976, but the smoke gives it nice impact in Autumn/Winter 3. Acqua di Parma Chinotto (blue line) - big fan of the chinotto note and enjoy having that with the rich, soapie AdP DNA 4. Comme des Garcons - Wonderwood. Love simplicity of the no fuss, woody, gaiac scent 5. Versace Pour Homme- timeless fresh blue scent that just works. I initially had Loewe - Solo in this spot, which has an interesting guava note opener that feels tropical but still mellow enough for the office. But I think I prefer the versatility of VPH Runners up 6. Toy Boy, 7. Hermes H24, 8. HdP 1828, 9. TF Beau de Jour, 10. Creed GIT

@@UrbanDwellerNYC Yea I think I have taken a little liberty in the variety of choices here to not be too biased to the fougeres/chypres/blue frags that take up a fair bit of my collection. Like to not to be redundant I didn't include some similar scents that I like a lot too i.e. I'd also potentially wear orchid man or 1976 if I wanted to Royal Vintage vibe without the smoke, or Memoir man over Wonderwood if it was rainy and cold

The more I think about it, the more I think Versace Pour Homme replaces Loewe Solo. Loewe solo is more interesting, but VPH is more timeless.

Stellar lineup! Question, is ADP Intensa or Essenza closer to the original Colonia. I have the OG but not the others and don’t want to make a redundant buy. Much appreciated 🙏

A Creed that smells even more like a salty sea breeze (actually more like a sea spray) is EROLFA. EROLFA in my opinion is the greatest aquatic/marine/maritime/oceanic fragrance of all time. That Intense real ambergris is stunning. I also have and like Floris 1962. Reminds me of Hermès Rocabar. But my favorite Fliris is Elite. A masterpiece. Favorite Amouage: Bracken Man, the most photorealistic classic Fougere in history. Chanel Platinum Egoiste is too intensely metallic to me.

Original Vetiver is just so good. That opening and drydown are to die for, but I was not able to get good perfomance out of it, at least 2020 batch. After 3 hours -close to the skin, which is kind of a letdown, is it like that in general ?

I hate the term "office scent" dudes are at work all smelling the same and combined their scent just makes the atmosphere an atomic cloud of after shave essence, metallic, woods and rotten beach!
