I swim against the current.
Lilac Vegetal. Good.
Clubman Special Reserve. Good.
C&S Cuba. Really Good.
It's pretty clear that scents are quite subjective.

I too like Lilac Vegetal once it’s on my face, but right out of the bottle it smells like Jeyes Fluid. The one aftershave I can’t stand is Brut: I find the scent very sweet and cloying; in fact, it makes me gag.

My vote would have to go to Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds. I can smell that a mile away and it literally affects my breathing. Instant headache.

Years ago I used to ride the train into the office and at one particular stop there was a woman in her late sixties or early seventies that literally marinaded in this stuff. I usually sat in the front of the train car and she boarded at the back of the car. I could literally smell the moment she got on the train. And to boot, and it never failed, if the seat next to me was open she'd sit in it. Many times I thought I'd suffocate when she was next to me. Otherwise very pleasant lady. Always well dressed.

To this day I could be at a stadium event and if anyone is wearing stuff I'd know it.
