If you could only keep 5 fragrances for life, what would they be? I saw this question make the rounds on social media and thought it was an interesting question, but I thought it be more interesting to hear from this group. I’m just starting out on this journey so these answers will be helpful for me as I consider additional purchases.

Thank you to one of our Brothers for trading this fragrance that I have been trying to acquire for a while. Really appreciate the camaraderie.

So I’m back from a trip to the UK and came home with a bunch of goodies I picked up while there. And I had a few more waiting for me in the mail when I got home - Bought a whole bunch of ATH to try out. I figure I’ll be able to tell with just a few sprays if they are for me or not, and if not I’ll just flip them. So far I’m enjoying Guapo and Gin Sling; Odyssey isn’t bad (seems like a take on Tygar) and Icon is pretty good too (kind of a sweet salty citrus woody aromatic) but maybe a bit sweet for my taste. Yet to try are Midnight Fever, Blue Fever, and Noir. - As @Paul Bartnicki knows (and, I suspect, is amused by), I have significant trouble with clary sage and I sold my bottles of ATH Hombre when I first blind bought them because I didn’t like how that note was front and center. However, Penhaligons The Cut has been growing on me, and it also has prominent clary sage, so I wanted to give Hombre another shot - Also picked up the limited release Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Cologne Forte at a steal of a price. I had tried a decant and really liked it. The almond gave me trouble in some of the others from the Ideal line but here it’s light and smooth - I spent time at the Roja and Ormonde Jayne boutiques in London, both had cool and knowledgeable staff who took me through a bunch of their lines. Roja Midsummer Dream and Isola Snow were standouts, and I’ve already got decants of those on the way; I liked Evernia and Kashmir on paper and the manager at the OJ boutique gave me samples to try - Waiting for me at home were bottles of Polo 67 EDP and Superz Unique Blue — both of which I burned through decants of and beat out all the others I battled them against
