Match #75 decides the champion of the main bracket—and I'm still not entirely sure I've made the right decision. It's my favorite spring/summer fragrance, Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée, against my favorite autumn/winter fragrance, Tom Ford Ombré Leather. I've leaned both ways over the past several hours. Even as I'm writing this, I'm wavering. This is where I really wish I had Michelle here to break the tie. Eau Givrée is already thoroughly Michelle-approved. In fact, she chose it for me so often during my last trip to Hong Kong that I completely emptied my travel atomizer. Ombré Leather hasn't had the Michelle test yet because I don't have a travel spray for it. That's something I'll need to correct. Eau Givrée has been the revelation of this tournament for me. That brilliant citron, juniper, and Timut pepper opening is wonderfully refreshing, but it's the way the mineral and woody elements emerge underneath that has made me love it. It's bright without being simplistic and sophisticated without losing that sparkling freshness. Ombré Leather is nearly its mirror image: dark, rich, smooth leather surrounded by cardamom, amber, patchouli, jasmine, and moss. It's luxurious, powerful, and beautifully blended. In cooler weather or for a date night, I'm not sure I own anything I'd rather wear. So how do I separate two fragrances that are almost perfect for completely different purposes? Barely. Other than the considerable difference in price, the one distinction I can find is versatility. Eau Givrée simply gives me more opportunities to wear it during the year. And apparently that's enough. Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée wins Match #75 and becomes champion of the main bracket. Tom Ford Ombré Leather drops into the second-chance bracket, where it awaits the winner of tomorrow's matchup. Three challengers remain, but Eau Givrée now sits alone at the top. And if you're a betting man, I wouldn't put much money on any of them knocking it off. But considering how much I've changed my mind during this tournament, I probably shouldn't be trusted with betting advice.

For those of you with not only a decent collection of bottles, but also a lot of samples or travel sprays, which do you prioritize when choosing what to wear each day? I don't have many mini-samples, but I have close to 60 travel sprays now, and I can't decide whether to try to work through them and reduce that number, or focus more on the full bottles.
