··Prolific Speedmaster HoarderMy go to's,
More recent when I had to choose because of the unavailability of my previous favourites:
Just managed to get these again after about 20 years.
And a bottle of this on the way after 30 odd years. Purchased from a vintage outlet in Italy. Hope it is as good as I remember😗

I love the “Man’s Eau d’ toilette”..not “men’s”- this is apparently the EDT for all mankind!

·I have 2 bottles of Saratorial, I loved it so much when I bought it I bought a second bottle. But after a few months I realized the dry-down just kind of drones, it’s nice but it can get a bit cloying.
Very entertaining thread - humorous and educational!
I haven’t worn aftershave since I was in college in the mid ‘70s. My roommate and I wore British Sterling (the girls loved it) and we also slapped on this green stuff called Skin Bracer. Pretty lowbrow compared to what’s being discussed here.
I also must commend JW for using the word “cloying” accurately in a sentence. Good one!

·Got another round of sauce delivered today... going Old Skool here:
Grey Flannel ~ my signature sauce back in the 80's and early 90's, bought when I could afford it but usually under the tree from mom when I'd drive back home to Pennsylvania from New York City. As a young struggling jazz musician this usually made me feel like I had potential.
Eau de Toilette Grey Flannel ~ completely unfamiliar with this one but it was included in the purchase so why not? Turns out it was launched in 1997 yet somehow stayed off-radar to me... excited to try it especially with the reviews I've found.
Eau Sauvage EDP ~ another reco from @JwRosenthal based off his earlier reco for Eau Sauvage EDT... what I am smelling from the cap smells like pure victory to me.

·Same except I am slowly cultivating a Scent Pipeline ~ all the No-Go's head to the East and James, or my wife takes 'em to work and leaves them out for surgeons & RNs to grab and take home.

·So far only two fails- don’t think that a bad average.
With how personal scents are it's an outstanding record!

·Have you worn it yet? I have it but not tried it
Nope, waiting for something special to warrant the cost... we hardly ever go out so I'll probably just put it on after a shower like I would any other scent.
Also, I think I am worried about trying it for fear of loving it and then having to either walk away from it or pony up.
Do you have a sample or full bottle?

I bought several samples from Amouage directly, as they were way cheaper than the other online guys. So far I have only tried Boundless. Trying to find the right time to try the Silver Oud, as from what I understand its kind of a love it or hate fragrance and I am not sure I could stand myself all day at the office if I hate it,
