Thread: Favorite Scents

Geo. F. Trumper - GFT

Geo. F. Trumper - Extract of Limes

Dominica Lime Bay Rum

My favourites at the moment are, Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet, and Penhaligons English Fern. I quite like Trumpers Sandalwood which is nice but not in the league of the other two.

I suppose in strict order of preference, mine are:

1. ...
2. ...
3rd: John Varvatos 'Vintage' (newer one) will be in there somewhere soon no doubt.
Joint 4th: Cerruti 1881 & Polo Ralph Lauren (original)

I have a few favorites now.

Penhaligon's Opus 1870 is amazing.
Trumpers Sandalwood is very very good.
Trumpers Spanish Leather is very nice as well.

In the lower price range I like SCS 2-11 cologne, it's very fresh and fruity.
and I like Diesel Zero Plus Masculine my wife has the matching feminine scent and hers is quite sweet while mine is pretty spicy.

I suppose..

1) Georgio Armani
2) Polo Sport
3) Tabac Cologne / Pinaud Clubman Original

Other ones I like; Joeseph Arboud / Davidoff Coolwater

I've got a sample set of colognes coming down from Trumpers, so I am looking forward to trying them out and comparing with my long standing favourites. I would like to try Penhaligons too at some stage.

Edt: Got the samples from Trumpers and quite liked the Sandalwood and Spanish Leather, though I have to be blunt and say that while both are nice scents, neither of them really rocked my boat.

It's been a long while since I tried on new scents so perhaps my expectations are very high right now, what with my new found hobby in SRS. Time to see if Penhaligons will oblige with some samples

My lady loves the Caldwell & Massey #6 cologne on me. I mix it with witch Hazel 2/3 - 1/3 after the formula that my barber uses for his aftershave.

Acqua Di Gio by Georgio Armani - excellent, light and fresh scent that my wife just absolutely loves. By far the crowd favorite! (I picked this one out on my own a few years back and she still seems to love it). - padron already mentioned this one too

Corduroy by Zirh - another good one. Wife picked this out on her own for me and it is definately nice.

Descriptions off perfume.com
The water fragrance of Acqua di Giò Pour Homme is typical of the understated elegance of Giorgio Armani. The brisk scents of marine and citrus; bergamot, mandarin, neroli, blend with rosemary, patchouli, and amber. Crisp top notes are followed by the herbal aromatic and subtley sensual scents of the middle and base notes. The result is a fresh and casual fragrance inscripted with Armanis own signature.

Corduroy is a unique scent and the ultimate expression of masculinity. It captures the self-confidence and sophisticated chic of the man who creates his own destiny and his own personal signature - a fresh, sexy, masculine blend of fresh fruits, lush spices, and warm woods.

I want to try some of this cologne. Where do you get it?

I don't have that many but my favorites are:

1. Tabac EDT (not the cologne)
2. Clubman Pinaud aftershave
3. Paul Sebastian
4. Old Spice

Of the 4, only the Tabac EDT lasts for any length of time on me.
