And then there is the signature scent. I have two actually: Woods of Windsor, and Spanish Leather by Truefitt & Hill. Unfortunately, Woods of Windsor, a company that dates back to 1770 (the year Beethoven was born), no longer produces the Woods of Windsor cologne and aftershave. I am on my last bottle, and I savor it by using it once in a while. Spanish Leather is still produced by Truefitt & Hill, and I am grateful for that.

These two scents, Woods of Windsor, by Woods of Windsor, and Spanish Leather, by Truefitt & Hill, in a small way, help define my personality. That's why I consider them my signature scents.

What are your signature scents?

My signature scent is always the most recent one that my wife picked out and purchased for me.

Czech & Speake Cuba is my favorite with TOBS Eton running a close second.

I only use lotions as I enjoy the sting of the alcohol.

My signature scent is Guerlain LÍnstant in winter and Guerlain Homme intense in spring and summer.
Both lovely scents

I have never used an AS or EDT. I use a pretty neutral balm, Sampson's. I can already hear the howls from my wife and daughters if I came downstairs for breakfast wearing some scent. I have a tub of BM Lavanille soap, but I only rarely use it... I could be a chicken, but I prefer to consider myself simply subdued. Plus it is an acquisition disorder I'm safe from.

Tabac

Good thread obie. I have to admit prior to using this site I never really was a scent person. Since this site the two I use religiously are vetiver guerlain and Miller Harris tabac. The Miller Harris is an exceptional winter scent but can sometimes be a bit too sweet - I'm keen on trying some dryer tobacco scents in the future.

Penhaligon's OPUS 1870 is my go to scent!!

Depends. If we are talking aftershave, its Captains Choice Bay Rum. But if its just a fragrance, I really like Amouage Interlude. Its my most often used fragrance.

My go to and all-around favorite is Santa Maria Novella Tabacco Toscano EdC, but I'm also very partial to Penhaligon's Sartorial. In warmer weather, I usually reach for Penhaligon's English Fern or Blenheim Bouquet.
