I see this going through the YouTube reviewers from time to time and I always thought - how hard can this be…..until you try to do it yourself. For me, top 6 are a no brainer, but after that - I’m like - wow, I really have to make some choices.

So what are your Top 10 Frags that if you could only use 10 or if you were stuck on a desert island and smelling good was more important that shelter and food?

I’ll let everyone have an honorable mention -because it seems that is what the YT does. Here are mine.

So, first of all, this isn't a video. 2nd of all, I always appreciate your picture collages, especially on a day when you comment about how busy you are at work. 3rdly, I'm happy to see Penhaligon's in there and none of this trendy, flash-in-the-pan Floris stuff.

I told my boss I had to run to an important online meeting.

I should have put a caveat in there that I have not received my Trendy Floris frags yet - something‘s going to get bumped 😂
 
I have never tried any of the frags you mentioned, lol. Never really got bit by the frag bug. I use a lot of AS, but not much cologne. I still have a bunch of samples I've never even tried. I'll have to look through them and see if I have any samples of the ones you mention.

Of the YouTubers that I watch that list their top “old school” frags/scents - Clubman Pinaud is almost always on their lists
