I own a lot of scents, I've tried a lot of scents; always catches me off guard when someone posts a top ten and I've only tried two of them

Indeed!

 

[Lamb Root]

Indeed!

Yes, me too. I've tried the 1st and 7th so I can relate to this impressive list 20%.

 

[maxpower]

lol I was thinking the same exact thing when I read that list. I have tried a 100 scents at least. I have only heard of 7 on that list and have only sampled 1 of them.

 

[Ron Scott]

I steer clear of the makeup areas in department stores and have never even heard of any of them.

Houbigant and Bond can't really be often seen in the department store, can they?

Neiman Marcus or Nordstroms normally carries them

Not even close for me other than a flacon of Windsor I have. The other thread, the compendium, hits closer to home on many. Perhaps these are all buried among the others.

...always catches me off guard when someone posts a top ten and I've only tried two of them

Well, I've never heard of any of them, much less tried them. I guess I'm a hick!

My favorite cologne of all time is Aramis...but it makes my wife sneeze and it irritates her sinuses, so I can't wear it. I've tried a number of the more common and commercially available scents, but she really likes a musky scent on me...other than my "I haven't showered yet today" fragrance, that is...so, I'm always on the outlook for something in that type.

I've tried DHI, number 3 on Schad's list. I'm getting there.
btw, I'm not too crazy for DHI.

Reading "A Little Book of Perfumes: The Hundred Classics--so I've heard of some of them but only encountered one.
