It's Christmas, you're going to buy fragrance for someone

Regal suggests a bit of opulence. YSL M7, perhaps. But, there are many ways to be a king.

Can you guys recommend a 'regal' fragrance?
I'm thinking more 'classy intellectual' rather than 'the person wearing the crown'.
Floris, has to be. http://www.florislondon.com/gbp/

I'm big on dior's Vètiver for everyday useage. Guelain's was too woody.

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is well tasty

gt85.

ADP Arancia di Capri.

I generally give people chutney (not a euph) for midwinter fest. Homemade presents always win.

Tobacco Rose from http://papillonperfumery.co.uk is the one for me.

Orange Swarfega smells quite nice.

Trumper's Limes for a daily splash - not too much, mind. At a push as a daytime scent, Penhalligon's Blenheim Bouquet.

Anything stronger is a little gauche - Kouros for a new generation.

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is well tasty>

Just got a bottle in the post well cheap. It's great. It terms of age percetion:

Guerlain > Dior > Tom Ford

I had a bottle of the Lanvin Vetiver at one time, unfortunately discontinued a long time ago, and it was absolutely gorgeous... Made Guerlain's effort seem like Brut 66 by comparison...

There are that many variations on it...

I find it impossible to write a description without reading it back in that Patrick Bateman monologue style...But I will say if you're after
a purer, greener, vetiver smell: Dior.
Fresher citrus vibe: TF
Deep middle aged singleton redhead: Guerlain

Joe, Miller Harris in CG do a Vetiver called Vetiver Boubon I think. Have you tried that?

On a Vetiver tip at the mo, this is noice

For anyone, like myself, who had seemingly existed in a Vetiver-free environment,
until now.

Tried on Creed Aventus today. Me gusta.

it's most agreeable :)

Dior Bois D'Argent is my discovery of the year. Spendy, though.

sampled tom ford plum japonais (no sniggering at the back there..), incredible

El DethWife bought me Spicebomb for my birthday, surprisingly nice.
Bit vanilla-y.

not a patchouli fan, but can appreciate it. the tom ford range has quite strong persistence too

I like white patchouli - black orchid is just a bit too feminine but white patchouli settles down and becomes more woody

Anyone wear Masion Margiela -Jazz Club?

Never heard of it. Whence did you get it?
