I'd choose the Reader's Choice in every one of those categories.

I'd choose the Reader's Choice in every one of those categories.

Except for Hall of Fame and Small Label scents

 

[mdevine]

I lean towards the readers' choices as well.

 

[maxman]

Honestly they are good solid picks.
I'm not a fan of magazine polls and things like that but these are good.

 

[AABCDS]

I'm always leery of the magazine picks; I just think the editors just choose the company who gave them the most free stuff or that it's just another advertisement for these products in disguise.

 

[GarrettReid]

Aventus and L'Homme are probably two of my all time favorites.

 

[Schad]

Dior homme baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Chandos]

They actually used a picture of the vintage version of Dior Homme. It might be hard to find and expensive if you do but the vintage is better so thumbs up for that whether it was intended or accidental. Otherwise, I would have picked entirely different fragrances for each category. That said, I agree with the Hall of Fame choices - both of them. YSL l'Homme is an overlooked gem - truly outstanding fragrance - and Chanel PM is a classic.

Nice list to consider for anyone not to familiar with frags.

 

[Lamb Root]

FYI Creed is a small label

 

[The Chandos]

Oops, my mistake. I confused it with YSL Pour Homme, which was released in the 70's and is a killer fougere. I was thinking it was repackaged but Pour Homme and L'Homme are two entirely different beasts.

 

[gaj90027]

I actually tried the Prada in Sephora tonight and didn't find it too offensive

I really enjoyed the spearmint, quite unique!

 

[mistercitizen]

Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree is one of my favorites. I need to get a bottle of YSL L'Homme.

[Isaac]

Nice list...and more stuff I need to try out.

 

[OMEN]

The Armani Sport might be on the buy list, I was a fan of the original Code. But I have enough bottles already..

 

[JimmyDFFX]

Definitely agree with Aventus. Haven't gotten to try Santal 33 but heard that this one is one of the better releases from Le Labo. Will have to check it out.

 

[Cuttingboard]

Wish I could wear YSL L'Homme but it smells terrible on me.

 

[Cheapshot]

Wish I could wear YSL L'Homme but it smells terrible on me.

It smells (well, not terrible) but not that great, on everyone. La Nuit De L'Homme is the better of the two. Though Rive gauche crushes them both...

And what's with the Dark Obsession... not at all worthy of a list like that.
