    I've very recently become a fan of Tom Ford's Black Orchid.

    Quite niche, but lovely IMO.

    I’ve tried this before but ultimately it’s a female fragrance for me, although marketed as unisex.

    From the same house, Ombré Leather is really doing it for me. Sampled it a couple of times and didn’t get on with it at all but something kept drawing me back. Sampled it one more time and decided to buy a bottle.

    That third sample After wearing it all day was just like a lightbulb moment. Went from not caring for the fragrance to loving it.

    Ombre Leather is amazing. Though I think it needs to suit your skin for it to really kick in. It’s funny you should say it took 3 attempts, I was the same, first attempt was that “it smelled like a leather bag”, second wasn’t bad and third attempt was pre flight And when I knew I could smell it hours later I was sold.

    Funnily men seem to know what it is when they smell it, women ask.
    Blue Chanel is still #1 for women commenting on it and instantly knowing what it is.

    Another vote for Ombre Leather here. Just smells amazing.

    I got to sample Beau de Jour yesterday. It's weird, because after a nice opening it dried down to smell (to me) like toilet duck. Really nasty! I had to scrub it off my hand when I got home. Weird thing is the wife loved it. I had to warn her not to buy me a bottle.

    I had L'aventure but sold it. It was near identical to Aventus imo but the longevity wasn't great. For the price, the quality was outstanding.

    If your looking for a cheap Aventus clone, the CDNI is your man! Projects well and lasts a fair while also..

    Mont Blanc Explorer is another very good Aventus alternative, not sure how it stacks up pricewise against CDNI etc though.

    Just got a bottle of Bleecker Street by Bond no.9. Got a great deal on MaxAroma last week, so came in under €100. Absolutely beautiful scent, but poor performer. Bit surprised as any reviews I read online suggested it's a beast, but on first impressions this is a skin scent. But it really does smell amazing

    Bleu De Chanel is nice, but the best by far and prob the best I have had in a long time is Tom Ford Beau De Jour

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    Got a bottle of Amouage Reflection Man last week.
    Firstly the box and bottle are a thing of beauty.

    It’s a smokey incense type fragrance with loads of notes and changes over time. An unusual top note of Oregano and some leather in the base, it smells a bit like the inside of a church.

    I’ve smelled nothing like it before. I really like it. Huge projection on it. I’d say it’s a love it or hate it fragrance as it’s unusual and it doesn’t hold back!

    I used to really like Eau Sauvage but the last few times I've doused myself in airports with it I thought it was missing something and not the same as what I used to buy 20 years ago. Further back I used to like Cacherel pour Homme, it's quite distinctive and always got a comment, though someone once asked me if I was wearing women's perfume as they thought it smelt " very feminine".
