I'm A Frag Hag
I went on a bit of a fragrance jaunt recently to the New York fragrance mecca, Aedes De Venustas, and to Barneys uptown, and experimented with several mostly esoteric "artisanal" houses. Despite several clunkers, I found a few that I quite like...

I was using Aqua di Silva for a while. I really like Terre d'Hermes and picked up some yesterday. I think it's good to stay with one fragrance and get rid of the old ones when you get bored with them.

I wear several different Creed fragrances Like Tabarome as well as several Trumpers like Wellington and Extract of Limes and Milk Of Flowers; and now I am trying this Truefitt and Hill "Clubman".

I prefer old-fashioned musky scents and one that I particularly like is Kolnisch Juchten by Regence Parfums Paris.
Apparently only one store in the U.S. carries it and it is not even available on the internet.

Today Drakkor Noir has been replaced by Aqua di Gio as the "high-end" fragrance to aspirants.

Acqua di Gio, though, contains notes of "fruits, herbs, and woods," whereas DN seemed to contain nothing but pure beastly testoserone.

Another great fragrance, though seemingly impossible to locate (If, indeed, still in existence) is the original Dunhill cologne, first made in 1934, I believe.
