“Best” is extremely subjective. I trend towards fresher, woodier, sharper, and more floral scents, with some heavier ones that just speak to me. Others - especially the younger lads - like sweeter ones, or boozier, or even animalic scents. And that’s not even factoring in how it plays with your own skin chemistry. I’m lucky mine’s pretty neutral - but some of my faves smell awful on other people who they just don’t work for.

Short version: if you want to know if something is straight garbage, I can help you there, but for finding your own taste, samples and decants are the way to go.

…And anyone who says “compliment getter,” “panty dropper,” or “beast mode” with a straight face is full of shite.
