Too many to list !!!!

For women ...

All of the Channel Line
All of the Jean Paul Gaultier Line
Incanto
Deauville France
Angel
Cool Water
Cheap and Chic by Moschino
Moschino Femme
Tommy Girl

And the list could go on and on forever. If your days sucks ... at least it can smell good !

For men ...

All of the Jean Paul Gaultier Line
Cool Water
Darkkar Noir

A bunch of other ones too, but frangrances smell slightly different on different people due to body chemistry. I like Dior men's fragrances on some men, but I can not stand them when they are freshly sprayed.

Important that things smell slightly different on different people due to body chemistry.

Ex Nihilo's Vetiver Moloko
Comme des Garcons Serpentine
Aeon 001
Olfactive Studio's Panorama
Comme des Garcons Black
L'Artisan Parfumeur's Batucada
Bruno Fazzolari's Room 237 and Lampblack
Omnia Profumo's Cristallo di Rocca

Currently wearing Wode by Boudicca.

Another big favorite is Carnival Wax's line of perfume oils. Their Black Amber No. 2 was my go-to a couple years back. I still love it. I'd say 90% of my favorite fragrances are unisex.
I haven't heard of one of them,, all new stuff?

the maine women have simple scents... along the lines of smoky woodstove/potroast/baking bread/baking pies and dial soap

Default Slow use of frangrances ....

My father is like that. I would buy him all these men fragrances and he would were then ... but clearly not using as much or using it as often as intended. He still probably has that bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier I got him when I was 18. My mom and grandmother would go threw bottles a lot faster as I would always be dipping in to them. They are suppose to loose there level of fragrance after a few years... but I have ones that I do not use as much that still smell like they did originally. During 2015 I went on a perfuming buying spree so I am totally good for the next decade (or until I pass by a pretty little bottle whispering .... you know you want me ).

Favorite is a strong word, but these are the things I have purchased or worn this year:

Marc Jacobs Honey
Chloe by Chloe
Oyédo by Diptyque
Pink Grapefruit by Body Shop (I love citrusy scents)
L'eau by Serge Lutens

My current daily wear is this one:
Merry Maker by Pinrose because smells like summer!

I think the Tom Ford fragrances all smell great, designed to be unisex, but I haven't found the right one for me. Any would get my vote on a man! Very sleek and sophisticated.

My go-to is BPAL O.

This scent is AMAZING to me, I snarf at my arm night and day when I have it on, which is pretty much all the time.

It's, hmmm...I think honey, vanilla and amber?

For guys, hmmm, I don't know, because the same fragrance can smell so different from guy to guy. I know I used to love Grey Flannel. Mostly I just like the scent of Dude-Just-Out-Of-The-Shower. Just...clean dude overlaid with shampoo and whatever...just...mmmmmmmmmm.

Adidas Deep Energy is likely one I'll stop using period. It's not one that works with me anymore.
I started getting the Classic Match Polo Blue, that's good too. I also recently started getting EAD colognes from the Dollar Tree. I got Paco Rabone's Invictious and XS, Ed Hardy and Calvin Klein's Reveal this way. All of these work real good for me. My mother even started to use one from there too.

My current go-tos are:

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather

Fahrenheit

I like the leathery scents. I have a bottle of Old Spice too, my brother used to wear it and my sister bought us all a bottle when he passed 12 years ago. I splash it on once in a while and think of my bro. RIP.

So many people are apparently sensitive to scents these days that if I'm going out I use Body Fantasies
Vanilla or Clean Lavender Vanilla. They are supposed to be less irritating to others. I like their Fresh White
Musk too.

Wow good thread. I am not too aware of the trends, but I did previously buy DH Cool Waters several years ago and liked that. He used it up and I am looking for something new to replace. (yes, it lasted several years. A few months ago, I was on the train and man sat next to me wearing the most amazing scent. I had to ask, and he said it was NOIR by Tom Ford. I have just googled it and unfortunately it seems to be way $$$$ and out of my price point. But it was amazing.
Might have to go and sniff a bunch.
I will add since I have not seen it mentioned- from way back in the day (think Brut think English Leather) TABAC. is that still around? used to love it!
