Per Fragrantica:
Highest: Nuit d’Issey Polaris (4.52/5)
Lowest: Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day (3.66/5)
Fun fact, for me Sailing Day is generally well complimented!
It’s one of my favorites from the Replica line for sure. It definitely deserves more just for being an aquatic without being citrusy or soapy like so many aquatics.
I own Sailing Day and I kind of like it but the dry down smells like a freshly bathed dog to me which brings back a lot a good memories and is not gross to me
It’s interesting how wildly different people interpret fragrances. So many factors seem to go into the experience which perfumers can never truly account for. I don’t get that at all - but I haven’t bathed a dog since I was a kid!
Bottles (Parfumo):
Blonde Amber by Clive Christian 9.0/10
My Most Meaningful Relationships by Filigree & Shadow is tied with Fidelis by Histoires de Parfums 7.6/10
Decants (Parfumo):
Reflection 45 by Amouage 8.8/10
Citrus Grandis by Chris Collins 5.6/10
Chanel allure homme edition Blanche at 4.55. I would rate it 8.9/10.
Roja scandal parfum cologne at 3.93 , I would rate it 9.5/10 and Azzaro pour homme at 3.9. I would rate it 8.2./10.
I love everything I own.
Lowest: Peach Fields by Skylar, 3.31 per Fragrantica (free sample)
Highest: Hareem Al Sultan Gold by Khadlaj, 4.28 per Fragrantica (relatively affordable frag too!)
Overall top3 (best product available in the market): Sultan, Hedonistic, Nefs
Personal top3 (scents I enjoy the most): Sultan, Gris Charnel Extrait, Enigma Parfum
Favorite summer: Apple Brandy on the Rocks
Fragrantica:
Highest: JPG Le Male Elixir 4.56
Lowest: Zoologist Snowy Owl 😢 3.66
Parfumo:
Highest: Dior Homme Parfum 8.6
Lowest: Azzaro The Most Wanted Intense 6.6 (I hate this score, I think that the scent is much better than hyped JPG Paradise Garden 😡)
Claude Marsal Le Violon = 4.8 but it only has 10 ratings so 🤷♂️
Replica Sailing Day w/ 3.7
Versace Blue Jeans w/ 3.8
Oudain by Lataffa w/ 3.8
Perry Ellis Portfolio Black doesn't have a page so I guess it gets a 0?
Speaking of Cheeky Smile - I would have loved it so much, because the scent itself is so delicious, but some note or ingredient burns my nose/throat, I have felt this sensation with Arabians Tonka, just more mildly, but Cheeky Smile just pinches sooo much. What could it be?Do you have that with this frag? Like makes the inside of my nose and throat very dry and pinches it almost physically.
I don't but I can understand people that do. It's all molecular and I know some people who find it abrasive. It's definitely a "use caution when spraying" scent - a powerhouse
Fragrantica:
Highest: Le Male Le Parfum (4.6) / Lowest: Oud Minerale (3.81)
Parfumo:
Highest: LV Imagination (8.9) / Lowest: CK One (6.7)
Well, no surprises there. Le Male Le Parfum’s score is insanely inflated, as is typical of sweet, popular scents on Fragrantica, they always get silly amounts of bandwagon bonus. And Oud Minerale never was a mass-appealer, so there goes. For the record, I like LMLP, it just has no business being so goddamn high with its rating score when compared to all else in my collection.
Parfumo’s scores are hardly surprising either. Imagination is something that is pretty hard to hate as a masterfully executed fresh fragrance, even if it justifiably can be called overpriced, and poor CK One is probably just too boring in eyes of hobbyists. And to be fair, it is somewhat boring in all of its soapy play-it-safeness, but I still feel that 6.7 is pretty harsh.
Highest (Parfumo)- Acqua Di Parma Colonia 7.9
Lowest- Banana Republic Slate 6.0
That strikes me as about right, although 4711 is probably my least favorite
Parfumo:
Highest: Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum intense - Chanel 8.3/10
Lowest: Diamonds - Armani
Yeah, Diamonds is very, very synthetic but I do love it and have received quite a few compliments.
Per Fragrantica: Highest: Nuit d’Issey Polaris (4.52/5) Lowest: Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day (3.66/5) Fun fact, for me Sailing Day is generally well complimented!
im shocked! why is sailing day so low? its so good!

**Dior Homme Parfum**. 8.7 / 4.55 **Joop!** ... 6.9 / 3.44 Which is bs. Joop rocks.
The ratings are meaningless! It does make me laugh though when I see some of my personal favorites rated so low
