The Perfume / Fragrance Thread

I searched TE and was not able to find a thread dedicated to perfumes and fragrances. That's why I decided to open this thread.
We can use this thread as a discussion for all types of perfumes, fragrances, Deodorants or anything that you wear occasionally or daily or anything for that matter.
The discussion can be from the lowest Type of perfume which I believe are the ones that you can find in medical stores and supermarkets, From brands like Fogg and axe and All to even the most expensive brands, everything is welcome here.

I will start with my query here.
I'm a 40 plus year old guy and wants to buy his first good perfume. My only experience with perfumes is the ones that my relatives would get from US (when I was younger) and one I bought myself was souled store galactica which seems to be a knock off of David off coolwater.
I have absolutely zero knowledge of perfume. I just started browsing the subreddit /r/desifragranceaddicts and have got enlightened with many new terms. I am checking the posts there and found some recommendations like
Blue by Ahmed
Hawas / Hawas Ice, Hawas Black
Nautica voyager

But then i am getting totally lost. Also found that people order sample / trial / decadents of say 5ml and such sizes to try before committing to fill 100ml bottles. I am open to doing that but that also I don't know what to order as those sample ones aren't cheap either.
If you want designer perfumes, I’d recommend:
  • Tom Ford Ombre Leather
  • YSL Y EDP
  • Jean Paul Gaultier - LE MALE LE PARFUM
  • Dior Sauvage.
I have personally used them and would also highly recommend them.

Also, Azarro - The most wanted. This is my current favorite.

My designer recommendation is Dior Homme Sport!

Very Citrus-y and fresh and spicy, and has a wooden aromatic base.
It's my go to summer fragrance.

I got it from Varun David (Raphael frags), the bottle had the chain missing so he gave 200off for it. Mine batch is Oct 2024, I didn't fret much about the batch as I thought going with a legit seller is more important.
Profondo clone is a 20ml decant I got from XLNC perfumery. It is a pretty good clone to be honest.
name of that profondo clone?

You will not go wrong with Azzaro. Azzaro - Most Wanted and Pour Homme will definitely make others take notice of you. It also lasts long for couple of hours. There are too many knockoffs so need to chose where you buy it.
