I have to go with what my missus prefers and it's currently Hugo Boss (she was a Paco Rabanne 1 Million fan)
Just shows how fragrances vary from person to person then, because Sauvage (admittedly mine is the EDT) is the worst-lasting of the ones I've got. Put it on at 8am and by lunchtime, I can't smell it - doesn't happen with any of my others. A shame really as I love the smell, even though aficionados say it's far too common.
In the last week, I have a new favourite that's usurped the mighty Armani ADG Profumo ... Dolce & Gabbana's The One. Jesus, I love this stuff and can see why it gets the hype it does - it's rapidly become my daily go-to.
I know it's apparently a shadow of its former self, but I've also bought a bottle of YSL's La Nuit de l'Homme this morning - another heavily-hyped one that I'm curious to try.
Next on the list, when I can find a seller that isn't selling it at an overly-inflated price, is Chanel's Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, which again I've heard nothing but good things about.
So currently my collection consists of:
I will stop at some point, honest ... but damn, it's addictive - never been such a brand whore my entire life.
- D&G - The One
- Armani - ADG Profumo
- Dior - Sauvage
- Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
- Creed - Aventus
- Versace - Man Eau Fraich
- Calvin Klein - Obsession
Yeah, maybe that's the issue with me and Sauvage EDT then - nose blindness/olfactory fatigue. Doesn't seem to happen with any of my others though.Thanks for the list - I agree it is very addictive. I get nose-blind very quickly, so like to have a good selection. I have 7 at the moment but fear that I may need to increase it to 9 or 10 to maintain full nose awareness

I've got the YSL La Nuit de l'Homme on today and my word, I can see what all the fuss is about - even though I put it on 8am this morning, I keep getting the odd subtle whiff of it at 4.45 in the afternoon. Didn't expect that after all the talk about the current formulation not being as good as it was. Awesome smell. Got tentative drinkies arranged with a female friend tomorrow night, so will definitely be wearing this one if that goes ahead
Definitely a right battle going on between this and the D&G for my daily fave ...
My missus likes most of my fragrances, although she has a thing for citrus whilst I’m more woody/earthy/sweet mixes.
Well... it is a clone of something else (creed Aventus I think?) don’t expect much from clones.Armaf Tres Nuit Pour Homme
Bought this as per this thread - got it - sniffed it - smells like Brut or some other cheapo Xmas gift pack thingy ... Am I wrong?!
That’s the one ! I stand correctedIts a clone of Green Irish Tweed, and not a great one at that imo
The CDNI is a good Aventus clone, ive got both this Tres Nuit thing is hopeless though lolThat’s the one ! I stand corrected

Hope the La Nuit de l'Homme works as well for you as it does for me, after I bigged it up a few posts ago! Utterly addicted to both it and D&G The One - I'm alternating between the two every day at the moment.
I’m wearing Y as my everyday scent now. It’s so fresh, but not like any other aquatic I’ve smelt before.

I got a fresh bottle of Creed Aventus from Selfridges Trafford Centre before Xmas, it doesn't smell as nice as first bottle I got 2 years ago, In fact I have had zero comments about the fragrance, whereas first bottle got me loads, no change in how much I put on or anything, scared to get another now at £250 a pop ;(
