Spotlight Fragrances 2012/13 Winter Ed. Selection Poll

Here we go everyone.
I've looked at all the suggestions and here's what I came up with.
Remember as with last time, you only need to sample the fragrances.
How you obtain them is up to you.
Join in any months you like. Wear the fragrance then post in the discussion thread.

Of the 12 in the poll you can vote for any/all that you like.
The top 4 will be the ones we sample. I may have narrowed down the list, but you will choose what we go with.
Let's go 1 week with the poll.

As always if you have any questions PM me.

That is a nice list, Marc, and I look forward to participating.

Mike

 

[joshmpdx]

Dang, I love these, let's get some momentum behind this!

 

[The Chandos]

I wish Storer's Monk was on that list. For some reason, it's the epitome of winter for me. But a stellar list all the same.

 

[tehtimmeh]

Excellent job Marc! Some real winners on your list.

 

[maxman]

Thanks guys.
I'm already thinking of the next one.
I haven't tried most of these. Should be fun.

 

[BillC]

Nice list. I've tried more than half. Of the ones I've tried I'm a big fan of all but one - which is a nice fragrance it just has one note that I can't come to terms with. Looking forward to the discussions.

 

[bhorsoft]

I've only tried the London and the Eau de Baux. I give the edge to the Eau de Baux because the matching ASB is one of the best out there.

 

[erickson]

2 of my 3 votes are currently in the running and I have not yet tried either of them - looking good!

 

[maxman]

The poll has been open for 10 days now. Are there any last votes coming in?
I'll look again Sunday evening.

 

[mdevine]

What a close result. So far, the top nine are within three votes of each other.

 

[maxman]

Yes, it may be a tricky one to decide.
That might be a 2 Pepsi Max night for me...

 

[maxman]

Ok, This is it.
the last day. When I wake up tomorrow I'll be posting the winners.
In the case of a tie, I'll have to choose.
If anyone wants to pitch their case for one over the other (in a tie situation) then please do so.

 

[mdevine]

In case of a tie, I'm going to plead my case for Lonestar Memories. Several members whose tastes I trust have sung its praises on the Fragrance Forum. I'm itching to try something that has impressed a group of guys who aren't usually easily impressed.

Still waiting on some Serge Lutens and Killians samples in the mail!

I'll back you up on this Mike. AMAZING scent. Definitely not a crowd pleaser and I could see this being tough for a lot of people to pull off. In my top 3 of all time without hesitation.

 

[JoshuaNY]

Not that I was going to vote, but I was looking for this thread all week. That will teach me to read the stickies.
Cant wait to try ou the winners

 

[maxman]

Ok, I'm back from my Thanksgiving dinner.
Let's see here...
Looks like we have:
L'Occtaine -- Eaux de Baux
Kilian -- Back to Black
Penhaligon's -- Sartorial
Profumum -- Arso
To be honest I was gunning for Lonestar Memories too.
Maybe it's time someone hosted a split?

Anyway I'll start a new thread with the next steps.
Keep your eyes peeled.

 

[erickson]

Thanks Max!

We had quite a horse race, but in the end we ended up with 2 of 3 which I had voted for and none of which I have tried before. I couldn't have asked for a much better outcome.

Montale -- Dark Aoud
L'Occtaine -- Eaux de Baux
Kilian -- Back to Black
Penhaligon's -- Sartorial
Profumum -- Arso

 

[Obsessed]

Glad Arso is in the mix. I think it's great stuff, and I'll be interested to read people's opinions.
