Code Ultimate I think is similar to Givenchy Gentleman parfum.

It would be interesting to see the age ranges of posters vs what they like as some of people 'likes' are definitely not to my taste (and vice versa i know).

But some of the TF stuff being suggested smells very 'old man' to me

But then my current rotation is;
TF Noir Extreme
Creed Aventus
D&G Spice Bomb extreme
Paco R Ultraviolet
Mid 30s...

Acqua di Gio Profumo (work - this honestly gets the most compliments at work than anything in my collection)
V&R Spicebomb Extreme (using more last couple of weeks as getting cold)
Chanel Allure Homme Sport (fresh non nonsense daily)
YSL Y (work + daily). I really like this. Good compliments also.
Versace Dylan Blue (work)
Dior Sauvage (work)
Bleu de Chanel (work)
Versace Eros (tbf not worn for a while)
Creed Aventus (for fancy occasions)
JpG Le Male + Ultramale (though getting less keen on the latter of late)
D&G Light Blue (summer)
Mugler Pure Malt (winter)
YSL La Nuit de L'Homme (evenings/night)

I need to top up on some of mine, starting to run low.

Bvlgari: Man in Black today - had forgotten how lovely this smells.

So what's the hot scent this year? Recently I've been TF GV but that seems old hat. Recently smelt a Replay version that was like farenheit lingered for days so lovely. Tempt me off the Savers shop price point. Gentlemen please
It’s not the answer to the question but when asked what is the biggest seller, John Lewis staff Bham said: Hugo Boss and Joop Jump! EDT 100ml which seems to almost match the Amazon list.

ADG is such a good scent.

I tend to wear Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li as a daily. It's a very simple, clean scent.

Not sure, but this is one of my favourite scents in my collection. Never smelt anyone else wearing it. Good choice!

Parfumdreams have it for even less btw smile

I forget which of the TF leathers I had, but it was the foulest smelling thing ever. And would the fker wash off, of course not.
biggrin I love Tom Ford's Ombre Leather but my other half bough it for me when it was in their limited collection so £148 for 50ml. We went to Fenwicks and they had just released it as a mainstream bottle and it was something like £89. She was livid. I also have the Aventus and she likes that too so I said let's look at the other Creeds.

I squirted some Green Irish Tweed on me and my God I it was like death at a skunk factory. We got in a lift and she was getting a headache from the vile fumes. 8 baby wipes later and it was still there. She made me walk 5 steps behind for most of the day until I could get a good scrub down at home.

How is the longevity on this one? Always liked it, along with Jazz Club.

It's good with my skin. Not as good as TV but easily lasts a day/stays in a sweaty club etc.

I have the same reaction to BR540. Awful stuff to me but others love it.

Ah I think you're right. I wonder if they got bought out or something. I saw a Fragrantica thread saying they were good but the newest reviews on trustpilot are generally atrocious.

Each to their own but Irish Tweed is female field proof tested *cough* and to be perfectly honest about it is rare to find a match where both sexes will say 'yeah that is really nice' across a broad range, Irish Tweed is one of those.

YMMV.

Agreed. GIT easily one of the most complimented-on of everything I wear.
