New Fragrance (Cologne) thread

[drizzt3117]

We haven't had one of these for about two years according to my recollection. Post fragrances you like for various purposes (daily wear, going out, etc)

Daily Fragrances:
YSL M7 Fresh
Annick Goutal Duel
Hermes Concentree de Verte Orange
Creed Original Vetiver
Creed Millesime Imperial
Clive Christian 1872

Going out:
LV Piper Nigrum
LV Vetiver
Clive Christian X
L' Artisan Merchant Loup
L' Artisan Timbuktu

 

[skalogre]

I only use two now (even though I have quite a few).

Daily wear (not consistently):
Geo F. Trumper's Sandalwood

Going out:
Truefitt & Hill 1815 (funnily enough the Issey Miyake Pour Homme I have smells VERY close to this one).

Interestingly enough, Issey Miyake just redid the bottle for L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, and it looks pretty nice.

I used to have like 80 fragrances but I cut down to about 20.

Love this thread!
Fragrances are a total passion for me!

drizzzt, we seem to be of the same mind on some of these!!

Here are the frags I have on rotation now...

Citrico - Comme des Garcons
Un Jardin Sur Le Nil - Hermes
Concentree De Verte Orange - Hermes
Cologne - Thierry Mugler
Marc - Marc Jacobs
Green Irish Tweed - Creed
Millesime Imperial - Creed
M7 Fresh - YSL
Havana - Aramis (for special occasions ... hot nights... such a sensual frag)

Can't wait to bring back into rotation this fall/winter:

Une Rose - Frederic Malle (for cool, rainy days)
Voleur de Roses - L'Artisan Parfumeur (in rotation with Une Rose)
Tea for Two - L'Artisan Parfumeur (Sunday afternoon heaven)
Le Dandy - D'Orsay ... my favourite Christmas season fragrance.
Himalaya - Creed

 

[drizzt3117]

I sold my Himalaya, but am fond of Voleur de Rose. I couldn't justify owning both Green Irish Tweed and BN9 Central Park...

Regence de Paris- Vert de Regence
Regence de Paris- Kolnisch Juchten
Douglas Little custom scent
Geoffrey Beene-Grey Flannel

p.s. I second the recommendation of basenotes. It's a great resource for fragrances, especially the directory which lists many of the notes in fragrances. It also has a good search function that allows you to find fragrances with notes that you like/dislike (for example, you can type in "bergamot" and come up with all fragrances with bergamot).

ah i need to clean out my fragrances too.

while i was traveling for a year i brought along
yohji yamamoto
helmut lang cuiron

to keep it simple.

ah voleur de rose. i need to get my hands on a bottle of that, forgot to get a new one when my last bottle ran out.

 

[designprofessor]

Creed -Green Irish Tweed
Creed - Erolfa
D&G - clean
Gucci -square amber bottle, very sandalwoodish
Jo Malone - Fig /Cassis (my favorite, but it doesn't last long)
Jo Malone - Pomegranite Noir
Bond #9 Riverside Drive
Bulgari

Two i'll probably add in the near future as i make my way tord the more custom stuff -

Penhaligon -Blenheim Bouquet
Hermes - Terre

I'm lurking around Basenotes forum as well. there is much to learn. This list may look radically different this time next year.

Can anybody suggest some custom or must visit perfume shops I must check out while in NYC?

Acqua di Parma - Colonia/Colonia Assoluta.

I'm the farthest thing from an expert, but a cool spot in the Village is Aedes De Venustas. I'd go there for my AdP stuff. Nice discreet little shop, very laid back - exquisite gift wrapping (using real flowers) - I've seen several 'celebrities' (didn't know who they were) browsing...

I see a lot of YSL but no Opium?

I took my 10+ bottles of stuff to the outgrown shop as I found that I only wore 1 or 2 consistantly. Someone got a good deal on some cologne!

Une Rose - Frederic Malle (for cool, rainy days)
Voleur de Roses - L'Artisan Parfumeur (in rotation with Une Rose)
Tea for Two - L'Artisan Parfumeur (Sunday afternoon heaven)

Curious about these. Where can they be found or who normally carries them? Do they have a "rosey" scent to them?
