Ground Zero - First scent for 50 year old gentleman
I'm looking to learn from your wisdom and am asking for suggestions of how I should open my scent account. I live in Bangkok - it's hot every day. I want a cornerstone scent that I could theoretically wear 365 days a year. I am interested in a fragrance for day time wear. I don't work in an office, but I do travel on the BTS (Sky train) which can get packed, so need something inoffensive. I have very little reference to say what I like - although I am going to the department store later today. Thanks in advance for your advice 🙏

@Raymond Reeves thanks for the recommendation. I'm sure i saw a Montblanc secrtion in the department store. I will check it out next time.

Thanks for all the advice. I started in the Giorgio Armani section and Acqua di Giò EDT seemed like a good choice for a daily fragrance. I can see why many of you here have such large collections. I reminds me of shopping for wine. Different options for different occasions 🔥

@Owais Malik Interested to hear if you get a good recommendation. I love raspberry! (+ leather sounds an interesting combo)

@Julio Gutierrez Love that meme!
Acqua di Giò Parfum Giorgio Armani
Good day gentlemen. I was in the mood for something fresh and soapy. So this is what I decided on today, comes across really nice and soapy to me. The performance is quite good without being too overpowering, nice and fresh for a day when you don’t really wanna stand out too much, but you still wanna smell nice. highly recommended if you haven’t already tried it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm really interested in sampling this collection. A quality daytime fragrance is exactly what I need.
Could you content yourself with only 5-10 fragrances?
Hello there everyone, I'm new here, and so far I've interacted with some wonderful people who were very welcoming and I would just like to thank all of you before I state my question below. I firmly believe that a collection of 10 fragrances would be enough to keep myself happy and actually use them properly as well. However after getting really deeper into fragrances and with all the latest releases coupled with much more fragrances which I have not yet tested makes me feel as if I'll be left out from the world of fragrances. Have you ever felt like that guys ? In the same vein, I feel as if I'll be wasting money if I buy more than the said quantity above as I might now use all of them on a regular basis. However, I get sudden urges to buy or try a new designer cologne. So how should I approach this situation of mine ? Your thoughts and inputs would be highly appreciated. Take care guys. Farhan.

As a beginner, 5-10 sounds like plenty. But knowing what I'm like with my other hobbies, once I get started, I can see this becoming pretty addictive! How many do you have at the moment? I'm literally starting from ground zero!

@Andrew G. As a 50 year old man myself, I'm interested to hear some recommendations to get myself going. When I was younger, I used to wear Eternity. A good friend used to wear L'Eau d'Issey, and I remember liking that as well. Two that I picked out from one of @Antonio Centeno's videos, although haven't smelled yet, were Terre d'Hermès and Acqua Di Giò. I'm currently living in Bangkok and primarily interested in daytime fragrances for being gentleman about town. If someone ran off with your entire collection, what would be your first 5 fragrances you'd re-buy for summer / daytime wear?
Older gentleman scents - what age?
Many moons ago, I bought Crabtree and Evelyn West Indian Lime, as it really reminded me of my godfather who past away a long time ago. He was an eclectic, classically trained gentleman who chose to walk away from his lavish, well to do life in Australia, to teach and be a part of his new community in San Francisco, he introduced my parents and shortly after I was born. When I think of him, I think of 3 things, classical piano, books, and Crabtree and Evelyn West Indian Lime scent. I turn 49 this year, although my heart is still 14. With that being said (hope I framed it right) and what age do you think a man can wear scents like this?

I don't know this scent. But I'm beginning to realise that scents, like music, can be such powerful anchors, reminding us of people, places, and times in our lives. I'm a fan of citrus. Next time I'm passing a Crabtree & Evelyn, I'll make sure to check this out.
