Chris?!?!? INCREDIBLE!!! The biggest homour, Chris. I’m stunned. This was beautifully done, I am without words. Your audio! The video! Incredible! I don’t take this for granted, Chris, thank you This community has given - and continues to give - so many blessings into my life, one of which is you. Here’s to another year of good health and peace of mind.

Prada L'Homme Intense 4. Pure Havane/ Naxos 5. Ani 6. Tobacco Oud 7. Tobacco Vanille 8. Reflection Man 9. Noir De Noir 10. Noir Extreme
Still really new to the fragrance community, but have watched a ton of your work and really enjoy positivity, humor, and collaborations. I really enjoyed this list also, thank you for taking the time to give us an educated and personal view. Very helpful and hopeful. 🔥🔥🔥
I had the exact same reaction to Oud Wood you described...it was an eye-opening scent and it really ignited my passion for fragrances. I think it's one of those fragrances that has the power to get people into perfumery. An absolute masterpiece.
I haven't been watching fragrance reviews for awhile and I had to stop the video; I can't believe Carlos is gone. I enjoyed his videos as he had such a great spirit. He was a joy to watch. I am so sorry for your loss.
Great video idea Chris. I don’t own as many as you, I only have 35 so it’s easier to thin mine out. For my 10 I’d have 3 the same as you which are in my collection, so in no order:- 1. Fragrance Du Bois - Oud Noir 2. Initio - Side Effect 3. Initio - Oud for Greatness 4. Tom Ford - Oud Wood 5. Tom Ford - Ombré Leather 6. PDM - Haltane 7. PDM - Carlisle 8. Creed - Green Irish Tweed 9. Creed - Viking 10. Dior - Fahrenheit
Before I watch this video here is my list of top 5 and no more ever again: Hermes Ambre Nargulie, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Pure White by Creed, Enigma by Roja Dove and Versace Original Pour Homme from the 1980’s. Always a great channel, good reviews and high quality videos.
If the video is not payed by some companies, man, you are amazing! You are so realistic and in the same time speaking with passion about your hobby. You're great man, and your list also!
If I had to pick 3 : - Halfeti - Penhaligon's. Perfect for fall/winter, pure class. - Cédrat Boisé - Mancera. All year round, garner lots of compliments - Gentle Fluidity Silver - MFK. Perfect for spring/summer. Probably CDNI for something cheap, any occasions, crowd pleasing.
You have great taste. I own PDM Carlisle, Creed Aventus and Tom Ford Oud Wood too. They are definitely in my top 10 of all time and I will definitely repeat buy when I run out.
I don’t know why but reflection 45 is so good to me and it the bottle reminds me exactly what it smells like. Rainbows and bubbles a metallic bubble but in a masculine way 🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧
Thank you for the video😍 It is always hard to choose 10 fragrances but here are mine 1. Angels' Share By Kilian 2. Black Phantom By Kilian 3. Tuxedo Yves Saint Laurent 4. Naxos Xerjoff 5. Herod Parfums de Marly 6. Hacivat Nishane 7. Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme 8. Dior Homme Parfum 9. Noir Extreme Tom Ford 10. Aventus Creed
I love how conciselly this video is presented. We all know how much experience Chris has in the fragrance world, so this insight is very well received and appreciated.
I still watch quite often your top 10 nice video filmed in 2019 in the York gardens, that must be my favorite frag com video ever. I miss those kind of productions from you, Chris Take care !
My 10 right now 1-Azzaro wanted by night 2-Prada LHomme 3-Chanel Allure Eau Extreme 4-Mancera Cedrat Boise 5-Spicebomb EDT 6-Spicebomb Extreme 7-Dior Homme Original 8-Dior Sauvage Elixir 9-Creed Aventus 10-Creed Silver Mountain Water
Having many makes choosing more difficult, however... I tried thinning out my collection to only 12 of my favorites and ended up having a hard time choosing then as well. There were always others that came to mind as being perfect for the day and i no longer had them. Collection is growing again
Great list ! My list is : -Naxos -40knots -Percival -Carlislie -BDC parfum -Dior homme 2020 -Prada Carbon -Ombre leather edp -Hacivat -Creed GIT Cheers ! 💪🏻💪🏻
My current Top 10 1. Dolce & Gabbana K EDP 2. Armani Stronger With You Intensely 3. Bleu de Chanel EDP 4. Givenchy Gentleman Réservée Privée 5. Parfums De Marly Layton 6. Acqua Di Gio Profondo 7. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever 8. Terre D'Hermes 9. Parfums De Marly Carlisle 10. Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP
Really good Top 10 quite possibly the best Top 10 I’ve seen on UA-cam. We have very similar taste I especially love Nasomatto and Amouage. Thanks for the vid!
I’m a basic guy. I only need 3 fragrances for life. Silver mountain water for my personal enjoyment , D&G the one for sentimental value (the fragrance I was wearing when I first met my sweet heart who is now my wife) and Armaf CDNI limited edition edp for compliments.
@@f_society91 I haven’t personally tried it. But what I heard from many people is that it has a harsh opening that smells like furniture cleaners. I don’t get that with the limited edition
I’m going to be cutting down as well. I get distracted by newer fragrances and the classic tried and true colognes just sit there. My top 10: 10) Creed Royal Oud 9) Dior Intense Parfum 8) Gucci Intense Oud 7) Guerlain Heritage 6) Nishane B612 5) Atelier Cologne Cafe Tuberose 4) Houbigant Fougere Royale 3) Nasamatto Pardon 2) PDM Kalan 1) Tiziana Terenzi Ursa.
Indeed there is something satisfying about minimalizing your collection... I only had a small collection of around 30 but still decided to get rid of the ones I didn't really wear (essentially don't need)... I'm left with 7 fragrances now and it feels good cause I know that the ones I have are actually going to be of value to me personally... from now on im only buying decants and maybe the number will grow back to around 10-12 but not much more
We would like to see you BUY MORE fragrances! Keep up the good work man! My personal 10 scents which I can't live without 1. Chanel - Sycomore 2. Dior - Homme Intense 3. Tom Ford - Tuscan Leather 4. Nishane - Ani 5. Guerlain - Mandarine Basilic 6. Hermes - Terre D Hermes Parfum 7. Harmonist - Hypnotising Fire 8. Xerjoff - Nio 9. Xerjoff - Torino21 10. Diptyque - Lombre Dans Leau EDP
My 10 (no particular order): 1. Ralph Lauren Polo Sport (classic & my all time favorite) 2. Mancera Jardin Exlusif 3. YSL La Nuit De L' Homme 4. Memo Winter Palace 5. Creed Aventus 6. Kilian Black Phantom or Alexandria Dark Knight 7. Imaginary Authors Memoirs of a Trespasser 8. Savoir Faire Soul Cafe 9. Gallagher Pearfecto 10.Versace Eros (original EDT version)
I've been surprised not to see any Fragrances from Aaron in your top 10 list. I would suggest to replace Aventus because of the constantly changing batches. I bought Aventus last year and it last only 3 hours - not worth the money. Please keep your spirit of doing Fragrances reviews! I love it!!😊
Addictions like fragrance hoarding can be very exciting until you realize you only have a limited amount of time in this life and you are better off thoroughly enjoying the ones that you love most instead of constantly finding the next better fragrance. On the other hand, it provides some sort of satisfaction knowing that you tried everything on the market and only kept the best ones. But then again, time is of the essence here so i will always side with the former. For this reason, I keep a small collection of 5-6 and purchase a new one only after finishing a bottle. In contrast, enthusiasts like yourself have also helped us discover hidden gems and for that I am grateful! 😀
@@amunra_ Yes and no..a lot of fragrance folks completely over do it. You see the racks of bottles behind them in the videos. At that point its just an obsession and a waste of money. If you want to enjoy fragrances in abundance just buy tiny bottles not these large 3 0z ones that never get finished.
Great picks! Pardon is technically what got me introduced to your channel when you first started out. I got my hands on a sample and at the time couldn’t afford it. You happened to have just done a video suggesting the Perfume Parlor version Pardoned and it was great… so great I burned through the bottle and eventually saved up for the real thing. To think that was 5 years ago! Thank you for still doing what you’re doing.
I don't have so many in my collection right now as it was distilled after tryingany perfumes I have 3 fragrances from nasomatto ( black afgano, baraonda and the amazing pardon ) From xerjoff i really enjoyed most of them yet three fragrances do really stand out ( naxos, 40 knonts and alexandria 2 ) Orto parisi megamare and terroni Boadecia the victorious complex. It's one hell of a statement maker.. Love your choices
What a Great list Sir! Mine would be: 1. Baccarat rouge 540-mfk 2. Erba Pura- xerjoff 3. Amouage Reflection 4. Dior Sauvage Elixir 5. Grand Soir- mfk 6. Layton- Pdm 7. Oud satin Mood- mfk 8. Initio Side effect 9. Cedrat Boise- mancera 10. French lover- Frederic Malle And if I may add one more on this list😂 It would be the “Sheikh al Faransi” which is a perfume oil/attar from a Great House of Maison Anthony Marmin. You should try it Sir Chris, you might like it😁
Great Video! I always avoided this topic b/c i just thought it was too hard to make those choices. But your video inspired me to pick the 10 for life from my collection. Cough cough 11 i cheated lol 1. Nasomatto Baraonda 2. Xerjoff Naxos 3. Xerjoff Uden 4. Creed Aventus 5. Terre D'Hermes Edt 6. Dior Savage Edt (Basic but damn i still dig it and so do others) 7. Parfums De Marly Percival 8. Initio Side Effect 9. Nishane Ani 10. Acqua Di Gio Parfumo tied w/ Rasasi Daarej (the fragrance that proves expensive doesn't always mean better. The cheapest in my collection and i adore it)
I think you picked a great top ten! I only have 70+ fragrances and at least four of your top 10. I have a fragrance that would definitely be in my top 10 but unfortunately I don't hear it much on UA-cam, Rosendo Mateu nr 5, maybe I would even make that my number one! Love your videos! ❤️👍🏻
My top 10 fragrances 1. Naxos Xerjoff 2. Layton Parfums de Marly 3. Intense Oud Gucci 4. Musc Ravageur Frederic Malle 5. Oud for Greatness Initio 6. Hacivat Nishane 7.Reflection Man Amouage 8. Dior Homme Intense 9. Sauvage Eau de Parfum 10. Ombré Leather Tom Ford
Great videe and you're so right about our fragrances evoking memories. So my 10 to keep wouldn't necessarily be my most expensive ... but would certainly include my most personal, nostalgic ones. One sniff and I am transported to other times in my life: 1. D&G Pour Homme (Original Euroitalia version) 2. Chanel Egoiste (OG not Platinum) 3. YSL L'Homme (OG) 4. Roja Enigma 5. Xerjoff Starlight 6. Carolina Herrera Mystery Tobacco 7. Creed Aventus 8. Prada L'Homme Intense 9. Ted Baker X20 10. Versace Pour Homme (My Swiss Army Knife for any occassion !)
I didn't sniff as many fragrances as you have, but there are still a few that I would keep when getting rid of everything else: Xerjoff Alexandria 2 - my personal favorite of all time. YSL - La Nuit de l'homme Initio - Oud for greatness Armani - Acqua di Gio Profondo
Thanks so much for sharing your fragrance knowledge so far and inviting amazing perfumers.. Very impressed by your top 10. I don't have several of them, although I look forward to getting some like dior homme intense, prada l'homme and PDM Carlisle. My current top 10/15 fragrances that I love and own 1. Xerjoff Naxos : the best I own 2. Tom ford Oud Wood & Thameen Carved oud : both are equally good 3. Xerjoff Alexandria II : another masterpiece from Xerjoff 4. Creed Aventus : how can it not be on the list 5. TF Ombre Leather : as you rightly said, a leather frag with depth 6. Giorgio Armani Aqua di gio pour homme EDT :yes EDT made the list 7. ATH Oud : best oud I have smelled so far 8. ATH Onyx Extreme : rose + oud mastery 9. Blue De Chanel EDT : I found this more fresher than EDP or parfum 10. Dior Sauvage EDP 11. PDM Harrod 12. Aqua Di Gio Profondo 13. Boss in motion : Love this unique orange & citrusy freshness. I haven't smelled anything like it in this category. 14. Creed Silver mountain water: this is more so on the powdery side. 15. YSL Y EDP
1. Acqua Di Gio Profumo 2. Hugo Boss The Scent Absolute 3. Parfums De Marly Sedley 4. L'homme Ideal EDP 5. Yves Saint Laurent EDP 6. Chanel Allure Homme Sport EE 7. Bleu De Chanel EDP 8. Armani Stronger with you Intensley 9. Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb Extreme 10. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau
I'm in the process of thinning the collection too. Back at the parents after a split and I have had to get deliveries to a post office for the grief id get if they came here hahaha
Im sure George is kicking himself for Prada Lhomme being in your list. I love that its office friendly and has that clean and soapy iris. Its sad that Dior Homme Eau is mentioned but Prada Lhomme is in the list so its a win.
Lol I take that back. These cheap fucks. Would u believe this? My order gets canceled a day later. I’m thinking limited amount. They F’ed up. Sold too many and ran out and my bad luck, I’m beat. Little annoyed not even an explanation or apology. And I was pissed because I’m very loyal to ATH and spent a lot of money on their frags. But whatever. I go to site and it’s still for sale. Hmm something weird here. Am I all bent and it’s an issue with my credit card? No can’t be. It would have rejected my order 25 hours ago in that case. I go on. Reorder Smoulder. But this time……no free shipping. Yesterday was a free (3-17 days) and a 2 day expedited for 9.99. I chose the 2 day. Now today……theres no choice. It’s only DHS and it’s 60 dollars to ship. CHEAP COCKSUCKAS!!!! Fragmental, I know this isn’t your doing, I’m not venting at you…… But ATH. The day of your big holiday sale. This what u do?? What was there? One too many sales from the USA….so cancel all our orders and have us re-order and pay an absurd shipping cost? Cheap fucks. And here I was a few months ago. I grabbed Homme and Maverick on max Aroma and as I was ordering I said “should I buy direct from ATH, I feel disloyal?” I’m worrying about THAT while these cheap fucks just pulled this shit on me (and who knows how many other people).
I guessed 6! 😁 Naxos, Enigma, Carlisle (and before that it would've been Herod), DHI, Oud Wood and Reflection Man were a given. Don't know how I missed Ombre Leather and Pardon. Tuscan Leather and Pardon were 2 of your favs back in the day. I did guess something from the Le Male line, but yeah, might as well drop Aventus in there instead.
Along similar lines, if I could only have 3 cool weather and 3 warm weather i would choose: Cool: 1. Carlise / Pardon / vanille havane 2. DHP 3. Le male / L'homme ideal EDP / La nuit de L'homme / Prada black Warm: 1. Sedley 2. Allure homme sport extreme 3. Aventus cologne / Aventus / Cedrat boise maybe an idea for a future vid haha
Very good list. I would throw hacivat in place of Aventus on my list. I never smelled reflection 45 but I do have reflection man and that one would be in my list. Creation e and prada lhomme in my list as well.
I predicted what your choices would be before the video and got them all except Aventus and Reflection 45! 😎 I was expecting to see Interlude Black Iris or Sauvage Elixir!
I would definitely keep sauvage elixir, baccarat rouge 540, Herod, Layton, acqua di Gio , Abercrombie fierce, bleu de chanel (my wife’s favorite) , aventus for the compliments, maybe geir ness cause it’s nostalgic. Also ADP note di colonia V
10 of my fragrances I can’t live without are: 1. PDM - Herod 2. Xerjoff - Naxos 3. Initio - Side Effect 4. PDM - Carlisle 5. Initio - OFG 6. PDM - Layton 7. V&R - Spicebomb Extreme 8. Armani - Aqua Di Gio Profumo 9. Chanel - Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme 10. Armani - SWY Intensely
There isn't a single fragrance that couldn't live without. "The man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." David Henry Thoreau Enjoyed the video Chris. Rest Well Carlos, we miss and cherish you.
What A List ! WAUW!!! really amayzing perfumes.. i have Naxos , prada l homme, and they are reall head turning. I am from Belgium and your fan 😉 BIGGGGG LIKKEEEE!

I've recently stripped down my entire collection to just 4 frags : 1. Parfums d'elmar - elixir d amour 2. Kajal - Lamar 3. Roja - Parfum De la nuit 3 4. Caroline herrera - CH Men Prive
@@FRAGMENTAL hey Chris! Cheers!! 😁🍻 Yeah there were so many I wanted to keep initially however when all was said and done these 4 never failed to give me that "wow" factor 😎
1. Blue de Chanel edt 2. OG spicebomb 3. Issey Miyake noir ambre 4. Club de nuit intense man edt 5. Chanel allure edition blanche 6. D&G Light blue forever 7. Creed virgin island water 8. Azzaro wanted by night 9. Issey Miyake nuit dissey parfum 10. D&G Light blue
Very strong final selection. My picks as of this moment: Cedrat Boise Tobacco Vanille Layton Dior Homme Intense Dior Homme Cologne Eau Sauvage Ombre Leather Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EdP Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Extreme Ultra Male
Mine would have to be: Br540E Tobacco Vanille TDH EDT Interlude Man Pure havane Layton Roja Enigma EDP pour homme Jazz club 1 million EDT Black orchid EDP

I'm left with 7 fragrances now and it feels good cause I know that the ones I have are actually going to be of value to me personally... from now on im only buying decants and maybe the number will grow back to around 10-12 but not much more
Which ones did you keep
@@Finn959 luna rossa carbon, la nuit de l'homme, prada l'homme, L'homme ideal edp, l'homme ideal cool, la nuit eau electrique and bleu de chanel edt
@@kleeblattchen38 lot of lhommes

We would like to see you BUY MORE fragrances! Keep up the good work man!

I've been surprised not to see any Fragrances from Aaron in your top 10 list. I would suggest to replace Aventus because of the constantly changing batches. I bought Aventus last year and it last only 3 hours - not worth the money.
Please keep your spirit of doing Fragrances reviews! I love it!!😊
Addictions like fragrance hoarding can be very exciting until you realize you only have a limited amount of time in this life and you are better off thoroughly enjoying the ones that you love most instead of constantly finding the next better fragrance. On the other hand, it provides some sort of satisfaction knowing that you tried everything on the market and only kept the best ones. But then again, time is of the essence here so i will always side with the former. For this reason, I keep a small collection of 5-6 and purchase a new one only after finishing a bottle. In contrast, enthusiasts like yourself have also helped us discover hidden gems and for that I am grateful! 😀
or...
Fragrance collecting is an expression of abundance, the idea that I enjoy the absolute best things in life. Its a beautiful idea.
@@amunra_ Yes and no..a lot of fragrance folks completely over do it. You see the racks of bottles behind them in the videos. At that point its just an obsession and a waste of money. If you want to enjoy fragrances in abundance just buy tiny bottles not these large 3 0z ones that never get finished.
Great picks! Pardon is technically what got me introduced to your channel when you first started out. I got my hands on a sample and at the time couldn’t afford it. You happened to have just done a video suggesting the Perfume Parlor version Pardoned and it was great… so great I burned through the bottle and eventually saved up for the real thing. To think that was 5 years ago! Thank you for still doing what you’re doing.
Yes! So many fragrances begin with the clone then you just have to get the OG eventually.
The video I released today was actually inspired this video. Had to watch this again as I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Chad. Hope you had fun in NYC!
I don't have so many in my collection right now as it was distilled after tryingany perfumes
I have 3 fragrances from nasomatto ( black afgano, baraonda and the amazing pardon )
From xerjoff i really enjoyed most of them yet three fragrances do really stand out ( naxos, 40 knonts and alexandria 2 )
Orto parisi megamare and terroni
Boadecia the victorious complex.

Xerjoff Alexandria 2 - my personal favorite of all time.
YSL - La Nuit de l'homme
Initio - Oud for greatness
Armani - Acqua di Gio Profondo
Thanks so much for sharing your fragrance knowledge so far and inviting amazing perfumers.. Very impressed by your top 10. I don't have several of them, although I look forward to getting some like dior homme intense, prada l'homme and PDM Carlisle.

6. Giorgio Armani Aqua di gio pour homme EDT :yes EDT made the list
7. ATH Oud : best oud I have smelled so far

Awesome top 10 ❤. I was wondering when Amouage Reflection man 45 was going to show up as I know you have a love for that 😂😂.
I'm in the process of thinning the collection too. Back at the parents after a split and I have had to get deliveries to a post office for the grief id get if they came here hahaha
Solid list. Well done!
Im sure George is kicking himself for Prada Lhomme being in your list. I love that its office friendly and has that clean and soapy iris. Its sad that Dior Homme Eau is mentioned but Prada Lhomme is in the list so its a win.
Seriously great list Chris!!
Cheers Greg!
Really nice watch. I’m looking at buying the 35mm version-the Tissot PRX 35mm-in either light blue or green. I prefer quartz movements.
Great choice of the tissot prx!
Just grabbed a bottle of Smoulder!!! Finally. Still available as of this message, but final batch is going this weekend.
Lol I take that back. These cheap fucks. Would u believe this?
My order gets canceled a day later. I’m thinking limited amount. They F’ed up. Sold too many and ran out and my bad luck, I’m beat. Little annoyed not even an explanation or apology. And I was pissed because I’m very loyal to ATH and spent a lot of money on their frags. But whatever.
I go to site and it’s still for sale. Hmm something weird here. Am I all bent and it’s an issue with my credit card? No can’t be. It would have rejected my order 25 hours ago in that case.
I go on. Reorder Smoulder. But this time……no free shipping. Yesterday was a free (3-17 days) and a 2 day expedited for 9.99. I chose the 2 day.
Now today……theres no choice. It’s only DHS and it’s 60 dollars to ship.
CHEAP COCKSUCKAS!!!! Fragmental, I know this isn’t your doing, I’m not venting at you……
But ATH. The day of your big holiday sale. This what u do?? What was there? One too many sales from the USA….so cancel all our orders and have us re-order and pay an absurd shipping cost?
Cheap fucks.
And here I was a few months ago. I grabbed Homme and Maverick on max Aroma and as I was ordering I said “should I buy direct from ATH, I feel disloyal?” I’m worrying about THAT while these cheap fucks just pulled this shit on me (and who knows how many other people).
Great topic! Thanks for posting this.
Is that a tissot prx mate , i have one myself looks stunning 😊
I ordered the blue powermatic 😍🙏
Surprised at least one vintage didn’t make your list, e.g., Guerlain Vetiver or Dior. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video Chris
I guessed 6! 😁 Naxos, Enigma, Carlisle (and before that it would've been Herod), DHI, Oud Wood and Reflection Man were a given. Don't know how I missed Ombre Leather and Pardon. Tuscan Leather and Pardon were 2 of your favs back in the day. I did guess something from the Le Male line, but yeah, might as well drop Aventus in there instead.
Along similar lines, if I could only have 3 cool weather and 3 warm weather i would choose:
Cool:
1. Carlise / Pardon / vanille havane
2. DHP
3. Le male / L'homme ideal EDP / La nuit de L'homme / Prada black
Warm:
1. Sedley
2. Allure homme sport extreme
3. Aventus cologne / Aventus / Cedrat boise
maybe an idea for a future vid haha
great list. cheers to the algorithm and best regards from Germany
Pardon is a stunner. absolute stunner.
Awesome choices!! Great video as always my friend.
Extraordinary good top, Chris. A really good selection to keep for life
You introduced me to Roja Creation-E/Enigma and it’s now my favorite fragrance
Very good list. I would throw hacivat in place of Aventus on my list. I never smelled reflection 45 but I do have reflection man and that one would be in my list. Creation e and prada lhomme in my list as well.
Mine are:
1. Bois imperial
2. Grand Soir
3. Intoxicated
4. Gentle fluidity silver
5. Herod
6. Rehab
7. Carlisle
8. Black afgano
9. Side effect
10. Oajan
Awesome list.
I predicted what your choices would be before the video and got them all except Aventus and Reflection 45! 😎 I was expecting to see Interlude Black Iris or Sauvage Elixir!
I would definitely keep sauvage elixir, baccarat rouge 540, Herod, Layton, acqua di Gio , Abercrombie fierce, bleu de chanel (my wife’s favorite) , aventus for the compliments, maybe geir ness cause it’s nostalgic. Also ADP note di colonia V
10 of my fragrances I can’t live without are:
1. PDM - Herod
2. Xerjoff - Naxos
3. Initio - Side Effect
4. PDM - Carlisle
5. Initio - OFG
6. PDM - Layton
7. V&R - Spicebomb Extreme
8. Armani - Aqua Di Gio Profumo
9. Chanel - Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
10. Armani - SWY Intensely
Nice list similar to mine. Looking to add Xerjoff Naxos in Jan 23
I have them all. Lucky me.
most basic af list, only good one is OFG
@@porkyxd9403 It's his list, not yours.
It's really a great list.I like a lot your choice
Good list but I’d swap Aventus with Siesta Drive by Navitus Parfums.
Amazing list 5 of them on my must buy list
There isn't a single fragrance that couldn't live without.

I am from Belgium and your fan 😉
BIGGGGG LIKKEEEE!

Your not stopping are y
I "only" have around 50 frags, but I'd really struggle to narrow it down to 20 I can't do without, never mind 10. 😁
Excellent choices! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My list would look almost exactly like this one. 😄
For me the first place is Acqua Di Gio Profumo,it does the thing for me which Aventus does for others. Older batches to be exact
My top 10:
- Tom Ford - Oud wood
- PDM - Haltane
- Tom Ford - Ombre Leather Parfum
- Acqua Di parma - Colonia Essenza
- Acqua di gio - Parfum
- YSL - La nuit de l'homme
- BDK - Gris Charnel Extrait

- PDM - Herod
I've had frags for years but I just started collecting last year so I'm still gonna need some time to pick stuff I'd keep over other 😊 Great list tho, love Pardon.
Personally I own 15 but only really use 8 of them, ormonde man, bleu de chanel parfum, oud wood, floris santal, floris elite, floris no 89, and occasionally boucheron pour homme, and NASSOMATTO PARDON.
Very good. Enjoyed it
I've recently stripped down my entire collection to just 4 frags :
1. Parfums d'elmar - elixir d amour
2. Kajal - Lamar
3. Roja - Parfum De la nuit 3
4. Caroline herrera - CH Men Prive
Only four! 😱 Four bangers though!
@@FRAGMENTAL hey Chris! Cheers!! 😁🍻 Yeah there were so many I wanted to keep initially however when all was said and done these 4 never failed to give me that "wow" factor 😎
1. Blue de Chanel edt
2. OG spicebomb
3. Issey Miyake noir ambre
4. Club de nuit intense man edt
5. Chanel allure edition blanche
6. D&G Light blue forever
7. Creed virgin island water
8. Azzaro wanted by night
9. Issey Miyake nuit dissey parfum
10. D&G Light blue
I’m gonna do a Culling soon too but I’ll probably have 15 ish once it’s all said and done
Excellent choice. After watching this video, I will feel confident buying any fragrance you recommend. 👌
I need to win the lottery because I have to get my hands on interlude 45. Its definitely a master piece.
Great 10. Many of which would also be on my list because love tobacco fragrances. But I could never live with only 10.
Very strong final selection.
My picks as of this moment:
Cedrat Boise
Tobacco Vanille
Layton
Dior Homme Intense
Dior Homme Cologne
Eau Sauvage
Ombre Leather
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EdP
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Extreme
Ultra Male
So good! Seeing everyone’s lists full of fragrances I didn’t pick I should have gone with 30 rather than 10 😂
Love your watch. Is that a Tissot PRX?
Mine would have to be:
Br540E
Tobacco Vanille
TDH EDT
Interlude Man
Pure havane
Layton
Roja Enigma EDP pour homme
Jazz club
1 million EDT
Black orchid EDP
