I was surprised your top 5 is not the same as your holy grail and the reason why. Something to really think about. In my case my top scents tend to be very expensive natural essential oils and incense wood/resins. I value the therapeutic value, the rarity of the plant, and the energetic vibe that only a living organism can give and of course the way they smell. Bulgarian Rose Otto, Mysore Sandalwood (heartwood), Jasmine Sambac absolute, Frankincense (Hojari, Green - resins that can be used as incense and can be used as a edible tonic), Lavender Maillette (heals burns), and of course, genuine Agawood (Oud). Add Bourbon Vanilla and Cocoa extracts. As much as I love perfumes, they are things I can jump from favorite to favorite without feeling I can't live without them, but my natural stuff, they are the necessities of life and spirit.
Love your top 5! I often wish that I could settle on a top favorites list. Mine keeps changing and shifting. I am so fickle, so olfactorily promiscuous, there are just too many beautiful fragrances, so many favorites :)
Great vid, as always, I agree, scents are strongly connected with our memories, this is a huge aspect and reason why LDDM is my top scent and rule them all ;) 1. Andy Tauer - L'Air du Desert Marocain (signature scent, absolutely fav) 2. Serge Lutens - Chergui 3. Guerlain - L' Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme EdT (LIDG) 4. Dsquared2 - He Rocky Mountain Wood 5. Andy Tauer - Lonestar Memories
My top 10 at the moment are: Colonia Quercia by Acqua di Parma, Straight to Heaven By Kilian, Gucci pour Homme, Tenere by Paco Rabanne, Fou d`Absinthe L`Artisan Parfumeur, TFPB Oud Wood, Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin Eau de Parfum Intense, Timbuktu L`Artisan Parfumeur, Icon by Alfred Dunhill and Jubilation for Men by Amouage. Apart from my signature scent which is the one and only Polo Ralph Lauren (unfortunately I haven't already the old Cosmair juice).
I got myself Rose All Dae for Christmas - blind buy - my bad - I just don't live in a town where there are opportunities for me to sample especially anything niche - I'm not sure about it - thought it would knock my socks off but it didn't- I'm so sad! I'll wear it but wish it was more unique - smells like cinnamon which wasn't listed in the notes - maybe that's why - just don't care for that note!
Must haves: Tauer Phi Une Rose De Kandahar Tom Ford Velvet Orchid Estee Lauder Sensuous Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Chanel No 5 L'eau Didn't make the list but I' be very sad to lose them: Coco Mademoiselle Miss Dior Le Parfum Replica Jazz Club Calvin Klein Reveal Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis .....forgot how to spell the last name don;t have it in front of me :P Actually there's a lot more. A couple oud oils I got in the Middle East, a rose perfume I made in a lab...Basically I'm just hoping I never have to choose.
my top five are: narciso rodriguez for her edt (my signature scent) philosophy fresh cream bath and body works apple torta sarah jessica parker lovely elizabeth and james nirvana rose
Fragrance picks aside (which are great!).... I just wanna thank you for opening all your videos with "salutations friends" instead of the ubiquitous "heeeey guuuuuys." Am I the only one whose skin crawls at that?! 'Friends' is so much better than 'guys'
my top fragrance is probanly amazing grace, tom fords black orchid and one i cant find anymore i got from nyc's the BOUTIQUE called The Eat store, called sterling silver rose. could you recommend any perfumes that i may like that are similar to expand my palette and collection. i love clean floral scents. Id appreciate it so much. You really have great nose and appreciation of fine skincare. I just wish i had your wallet in tow ;-)
