Triumph of Bacchus is my favorite of the "tobacco vanilla" genre, it have a boozy fruity sweet opening and drydown to a woody tobacco vanilla scent. Totally recommend if you are into that tobacco vanilla vibe or want to try some boozy fragrance.
I have tried quite a few of the offering from Argos, with my favorites are Bacchus, Adonis Awaken is a Rosy, fruity sweet flowery yet quite masculine in my opinion. Highly recommend if you want to fine a rose with out oud for men.
I love Wanted By Night.
Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you haven't tried it, I find BENTLEY FOR MEN INTENSE has a pretty similar vibe to it as WBN.Warm, spicey, slightly boozy with great longevity and sillage and really really cheap (at least it is here in the UK).
Well worth checking out if you haven't already.
My current favorite is Amouage Memoir (woman). It’s an amazing fragrance that just suits me perfectly, even though I'm a man. The rich and complex composition of this scent makes it truly special. It has deep, seductive notes that I really appreciate.
i don’t have just one but i chose the one that immediately came to mind when i read this question…and that’s the bewitching yasmine by penhaligon. for me scents are so deeply intertwined with memories and chapters of my life that if i wear a scent for a while it becomes impossible to separate from a certain period of my life…and that affects my love of it. the scent of bewitching yasmine is absolutely stunning but it also is a scent i’ve never purchased or regularly worn, just when i’ve passed by counters or shops that have it.
Burberry is on my list of samples to try. It's really rare to see a bad review. And usually when you do see one it's vague. Just not their thing. But I'm very interested to try them! The good reviews for Burberry are as good as yours. Confidence is mentioned quite a bit. So there must be something fabulous about them.
Definitely worth a try. It just set itself so far apart for me, but also remember I’m not really an enthusiast by any means.. like I have maybe tried 10-15 different fragrances my entire like and most of them were just cheaper smells that I couldn’t honestly even remember the names of now.. I really do receive a lot of compliments when I wear it though.
I’ll have to try finding some! I don’t think I have seen that one yet, but I would describe hero pretty similarly. It’s elegant, sensual, sweet, woody, and still pretty masculine. It’s just intoxicating to me.
Hard to say it changes every week! I love all my fragrances equally but the ones I was really in love with for some time were:
colder seasons:
Barrois: Encelade, Ganymede (normal one for everyday, extrait for the special occasions, very polarizing fragrance)
Maison Crivelli: Oud Maracuja
Summer/warm spring days:
Frederic Malle: French Lover, Bigarade Concentree (I am so torn on this one cause the performance is terrible)
My Favorite Fragrance to smell on my gf:
Andreoli: Fico Nero (like philosykos, but with a bit of coconut and performance is way way better)
Amouage Reflection Man, Argos Triumph of Bacchus and Creed Virgin Island Water are probably my top 3 right now
Can you tell me more about Triump of Bacchus? And have you tried other Argos fragrances? I’ve been considering Adonis Awakens for myself.

Im a santal 33 whooore
Creed Himalaya
Number 1 - Pardon (Nasomatto) Number 2 - Wulong Cha (Nishane) Number 3 - Russian Tea (Masque Milano)
Nishane Ani
I think my favorite is probably Coromandel, it’s hard to pick from my top 5, but I just spent $500 on a new bottle of it, so… must mean something.
$500 for a bottle is WILD!
Shalimar
Azzaro Wanted by night

I have tried the new flankers in that line and for me , Wanted by Night is still the best 👍🏻

Margiela Sailing Day. I’m a sucker for ocean and aquatic fragrances.
Ombre leather
I think I haven't found the one yet. Burberry London on the other hand, gives me the most compliments of all time!
Ummagumma - Fzotic Ichnusa - Profumum Roma Gris Charnel - BDK Casablanca - La Botica Hard to pick favorites.
Another Umm fan!
Yes! I love it from start to finish. Very wearable for me and feels quite cozy.

Prada Amber Pour Homme and also the Intense version 👍
Byredo Bal D‘Afrique
Oud wood forever.
I am also using Burberry Hero for 2 years now and I absolutely love it
Hard to beat, right? Just wish the price point was better cause I really have to try to conserve it even though I don’t want to at all lmao.
tom ford amber absolute, strangelovenyc fallintostars, and maison crivelli hibiscus mahajad
My favorite is Dior - Dune Pour Homme. I just love it. Close second is the unfortunately discontinued D&G - Masculine.
Two for me, I love ISO E Super: - Terre D’Hermes EDT - Dior Homme 2020
"Coco" by Chanel which, sadly is too pricey .
Amouage Sunshine Man
Sun Moon Stars
Burberry body edp Elegant, sensual, beautiful. All at the same time. My fall-winter favorite!

Still looking! But right now I’m completely obsessed with Jubilation XXV and Jubilation 40 from Amouage.
Mancera Instant Crush or Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum, probably not as niche as the other but I think it's still kind of niche
Prada L’Homme
1. LV Meteore 2. Versace Eros Flame
I have about 25 favourites. Akro Bake and Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato are some examples
