Now for something completely different.
MUA used to do a Top 25 scents list every year, and one hasn’t been done in over a year, and it doesn’t look ike anyone is going to do one…. so!
Let’s do it! Pick your top 25 Women’s and/or Men’s Scents (We’ll have them separate, but there will be several unisex that could go on either list). If you can’t come up with 25, send in the number you want less than that. Either post them in comments or e-mail them to me at pgeissler at gmail dot com (inserting the correct periods and @ signs). We’ll open up the voting for 30 days, until the end of July. Once we get to the end of July, I’ll compile all the votes and publish your top 25 for Men and your top 25 for Women. They don’t need to be new, they can be old, vintage, don’t care.
I’ll have them all tabulated by August 15, so look for the list then. As an incentive, there will be a prize or maybe more if I can round up more prizes. I’ll draw one entry for men’s and one for women’s, and the winner will get all the samples in their respective top 25 list. So the women’s winner will get the Top 25 for Women samples. Any questions? Yes, they must be currently made fragrances, no discontinued (that leaves out Chaos, etc.) Feel free to vote in both men’s and women’s polls, regardless of gender, but do note which poll you want to enter your list for, men’s or women’s.
Vote in comments or at p geissler at gmail dot com. My top 25? Hmmmmm….. in no particular order:

This is my current top 25, NOT the 25 I consider the most important in history… Hence glaring omission of some classics.
In no particular order, then:
1. Guerlain Mitsouko
2. Guerlain Jicky
3. Guerlain Sous le Vent
4. Guerlain Attrape-Coeur
5. Chanel Cuir de Russie
6. Chanel Bois des Iles

14. Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower
15. Bulgari Black
16. Ormonde Jayne Woman
17. Miller Harris L’Air de rien
18. Christian Dior Diorling (cheating, it’s the vintage I love)
19. Hermès Eau d’Hermès
20. Divine L’Ame Soeur
21. MDCI L’enlèvement au sérail (FK3)
22. Estée Lauder Private Collection
23. Tom Ford Velvet Gardenia
24. Vero Kern Onda
25. Vero Kern Kiki
Several of my Chanels are now sulking now (22 and Sycomore especially), most of my Lutens aren’t talking to me (Fleurs d’Oranger, Un Lys), Fracas is threatening to hurl itself at the cat… Nahéma is feeling quite indignant and plotting a coup with Derby. Femme is staying out of it: she knows I only love her in the vintage. But I suspect that ALL my vintages are planning to turn on me now…
Okay, Patou 1000 just threw a major fit at me: I’m replacing N°23, Tom Ford Velvet Gardenia, with it!
What a great idea ! Here we go:
1. Bulgari – Black
2. Caron - Parfum Sacre
3. Chanel - Bois des Iles
4. Chanel - 31 Rue Cambon
5. Dior – Diorama
6. Donna Karan - Black Cashmire
7. EdP Frederic Malle - Une Rose
8. Edp Frederic Malle - Eau d’Hiver
9. Guerlain - Bois d’Armenie
10. Guerlain - Spiriteuse Double Vanille
11. Guerlain - Mitsouko (parfum)
12. Guerlain - Apres l’Ondee
13. Jean Patou - Joy (parfum)
14. Le Labo - Patch 24
15. Le Labo - Rose 31
16. Miller Harris - Fleur de Sel
17. Mona di Orio – Carnation
18. Montale - Aoud Queen Rose
19. Ormonde Jayne - Ormonde Woman
20. Ormonde Jayne - Champaca
21. Ormonde Jayne - Orris Noir

23. Parfums MDCI - Enlevement au Serail (FK3)
24. Patricia de Nicolai - Le Temps d’une Fete
25. Serge Lutens - Daim Blond

Okay. This is hard, especially first thing in the morning, with only one cup of coffee. Plus I’ve tried to keep my list all masculines/unisex, so you’re gonna see some glaring omissions. Here goes, but I’ll probably update it within an hour. No certain order at all here:

I cheated a little. But I didn’t even mention Mitsouko, Vol de Nuit, Bandit, Black Orchid, Parfum Sacre, and nobody’s mentioned Fracas yet.
Hooray! While I was working on my list, Sariah included Fracas!!
Of course she did! I did too! Everbody should include Fracas, whether they wear it or not!
It’s such a…..BOMB!
I love the House of Piguet.
I didn’t include Bandit only because I ran out of numbers, dangit!
Shorter List #2 - faves for men (some unisex, but leaning towards masculine for me):
1 Guerlain Vetiver
2 CdG Zagorsk
3 Amouage Jubilation
4 Chanel Anteaus
5 Dior Eau Sauvage
6 Dior Eau Noir
7 Le Labo Vetiver
8 Cartier Declaration
9 Angle Men
10 SL Borneo
Oh, cool, thanks! See, unlike the others, I appreciate the ordering, but I asked my husband for the equation and it’s kind of a pain in the arse - plus you get all those ties. Hmmm, gotta think. I’ll be back
Oooh, what’s the equation? I am a math/stats nut.
Debbie, you and my hub would get along - he’s a math wonk, too. I’m a literature nerd and forget the equation.
Hmm, hard to keep the men’s fragrances and original versions out. Trying to stress what I really wear:
1. Guerlain Apres L’Ondee
2. Caron Third Man (surely it counts as unisex!)
3. Gucci Rush
4. Parfums de Nicolai Odalisque

24. Kenzo Ca Sent Beau (a surprise - smelling better each try)
25. Bvlgari Black
Great list! I particularly love Apres L’Ondee at #1.
*Please* get the equation to me. I’ve been googling and can’t find it. How can I not find that? I must not know the right words or there are too many things being pulled up. If not here, you guys could moo me on mua at debrsl. I would be so grateful.
Literature, huh? I love that too. I practically did a Womens Studies major–the classes had us read really interesting things. And I’m always looking at lists of what I should read. I don’t read enough, sniffle.

Mine are not in order. However, without weighting by order, I think you might run into a real problem. For example, you may not even have 25 that have two votes. Which of the one-voters do you pick? However, with weights, if someone said X was a #1 for them, then that would have more weight than someone who said X was a #24 for them. Heaven knows–if they were ordered, the Guerlains and the Parfums Delrae would be much closer to the top….if not right at it.
AAACK! Please remove one of the LV’s (don’t care which one) and put in Mitsuoko! What an egregious oversight!
For cryin’ out loud. I forgot about Etat Libre.
Please take out the other LV and the Lostmarc’h and add:
Etat Libre Putain
Etat Libre Vraie Blonde
How frustrating. I thought my notepad had all my bottles on it, but obviously NOT.
Debbie-thanks for covering two of my other favs-NM Dark Season and NM Midnight Tryst-can we count these twice
???
You’re welcome! I had no idea it would be hard to limit it to 25. When I first started this, I would have thought more than 10 would be unlikely. Oh to be so naive again–not really.
Although my budget would be better for it, my life would be poorer.
