For me..

I don't get the hype behind Aventus - yes it's nice, easy to wear and very complimentary but....and?

Santal 33- I fell in and out of love with it quickly. I don't get how people wear it non-stop. It was way too sour on me.

BR540 - Again, I understand the popularity. Yet....that amber and cedar dry down makes me sick and wearing it to the gym (which I smell all the damn time) should be a crime.

While I know there are thousands of houses and brands and being able to identify a sole standout characteristic from each house is tough; what,in your opinion, does each house excel at? For example; Nasomatto makes some of my favorite and what I consider to be some of the best deep, dense and somehow still wearable fragrances out there.

Interested to see what you all have to say.
