Very good choices.
Thanks so much willpower! Here are my thoughts on these fragrances.
Amouage Dia Man - 6.5
Montale Black Aoud - 8.5
Amouage Jubilation XXV - 2
Avignon - 4
Timbuktu - 6
Dzongkha - 7
Le Labo Rose 31 - 6.5
Santal Noble - 5
Blenheim Bouquet - 6
Hammam Bouquet - 5
I was not impressed by the Amouage fragrances, Jubilation XXV appeared very synthetic and strong. Hammam Bouquet appeared suitable for an old well dressed aristocratic lady but nowhere near a go to scent for my age and dressing style.
Avignon reminded me of the room where they keep dead bodies to be used for dissection by medical students, it is good as the name suggests to be used as an incense if you have a study room filled with antiques and old books (Labelking comes to mind).
Rose 31 was very clean and pure as if it was made for virgin girls and appeared most easy to make your everyday fragrance but at the same time it smelled like a mass produced fragrance so I will pass on it for the time being.
Dzongkha was really good (much better than my expectation) but for my signature fragrance I would go with Montale Black Aoud, Black Aoud didn't appear that dark and strong as I had anticipated but that's a good thing, it is just right to bring the missing elements in my personality and keep me content for some time.
I am far from a fragrance expert and look forward to hearing your feedback on my reviews.
