How many fragrances do you have in your collection ?

I love my collection, but honestly I sometimes wish I had only 50-100 fragrances to decide between, since it can get confusing to decide what to wear. So I often just use either the 35-40 frags I have in my backup collection (if my girlfriend occupies the bed room where my big collection resides) or the 10 light fragrances I have in the cupboard in the bathroom.

Claus, to be honest, I thought I had between 10-15 but, because of your question, I just did a quick count and was amazed to see that I have about 40-43!  That does count a few aftershaves, though, that have particularly pleasant scents, such as the Barrister_N_Mann Cologne Russe and Classic Reserve, both of which I wish he'd make in a longer lasting EdT.  The same would go for a couple of hawns (Chatillon Lux) aftershaves such as La Quatrième Ville and Yazu/Rose/Patchouli (and I regret not getting the latter when it came out in a shaving soap that was done in collaboration with Ryan @ Tallow + Steel).

Needless to say, I shall never come close to your collection.  Of course, a small part of the reason for that is too many modern scents smell the same and I think they are a stench rather than a scent, to put it kindly. (Think Christian Dior Sauvage, not Eau Sauvage, which is wonderful, and Jimmy Choo Man, to name but two.)  A couple of my favorites, such as L'Homme by Roger & Gallet and Cacharel pour L'Homme I have been using since they were introduced in the 1980s but are probably considered old school (or old man scents) by the younger generation.


I love Cacharel PH, have used it on and off since I was a teenager in the mid 80's. I own the 2011 edition in 100 ml of it, and I can't remember the last time I wore it. Honestly it could very well be 3-4 years since I last wore it.

Must soon rock it again. Love the nutmeg and tobacco in it.
I no longer care about what others think of my fragrances, unless I'm going out with my GF, I don't even listen or ask what she wants me to wear.

I wear what I want to wear.

Not to sound arrogant by my opinion.

People here in Copenhagen smell like a mix of curry, garlic, smoke, wet cloths and cheap axe anyway, so why should I care what other people think of my fragrance choice anyway
Cheers, Claus from Denmark

Thanks, Freddy! And your wish may come true in a way. I am contemplating doing a couple "inspired by" EdTs of those in the future.

That's great to hear, Shawn. Do you think there will ever be a redo of the Yazu/Rose/Patchouli soap and aftershave (or, better yet, EdTBig Grin) collaboration between Ryan and you?

Available right now on tallowandsteel.com. There was a mail heist and many of the Y/R/P soaps were stolen. We have just made another batch to cover the stolen ones and there are a few extras for sale. They will ship today.
