So, many of us here love the variety of fragrances that are publicly available, whether they are from designer brands (Dior, Calvin Klein, Georgio Armani, etc...) or niche fragrance houses (Creed, Penhaligon's, Amouage, etc...). What is the one, or couple of, fragrance(s) that you've smelled that want to add to your den eventually, but have yet to, and what about it is so great?
For me, there are three that I'm looking to add, for different reasons.
1) Penhaligon's Endymion Concentre - The original Endymion is probably my favorite frag in the den from a scent perspective, but it just doesn't project or have the longevity I desire. I'm hoping adding the EdP strength Concentre flanker to it would help solve that. Plus, it's Endymion...it has to be good!
2) Georgio Armani Aqua di Gio Profumo - I loved the original, but it was very much a spring/summer fragrance due to the light, citrus profile. The Profumo is supposed to add some much needed depth to it, and the longevity/sillage is supposed to be better. Getting great reviews as a year-round fragrance, and an instant classic scent that won't go out of style anytime soon.
3) Amouage Sunshine Man - Probably my most sought after fragrance, but also the most pricey. I tested this at the duty free in Dubai prior to my 14 hour flight from Dubai to Chicago, 2 hour flight to St. Louis and a 3 hour car ride to the house...22 hours+ traveling in all. The driver of the car (this is from traveling home following my injury) could smell the frag when I was in the back seat, 20 hours or so after a three spritz application. A great citrus-like opening, with almost a baked caramel cookie heart, which transitions beautifully to amber and sandalwood in the base. The citrus and baked caramel cookie (it's actually a plant that gives it this scent...remarkable!) lasted almost the entire time and were accented by the heart and base notes through its evolution. A must have for me.
Honorable Mentions: Fine American Blend EdP, WSP Barbershop and Gaelic Tweed EdP's
These will be additions to the den in the next year. Is anyone else eyeballing frags?
