What are your favourite smells...tobacco, sage, cut grass, coffee...?

About four months from now, I started a journey to better myself step by step. The first step was working out consistently, and the second was reading daily, and so on. I believe it is time for me to step into the world of fragrances, and what better place to ask for advice than here! Please share any advice you have for any of these questions: What fragrances are your go-tos? What are the must-haves? What are phenomenal-smelling and yet not very expensive? What are great daily/special event fragrances? I will read all the replies, and I will be EXTREMELY grateful for any advice shared.

Introduce yourself and level-up, it's that simple! You'll get at least 5 likes (oftentimes more!) which will move you to level 2 and on your way to level 3 (these levels give you access to prizes!). What to say in your intro? Share where you're from, your reason for joining, your profession, perhaps your favorite fragrance or a picture of your entire collection! Whether you're a seasoned cologne collector or just starting, have fun engaging with the group.

Alright gents - saw a video the other day on YouTube from Aromatix where he talked about how many sprays is appropriate for fragrances and then proceeded to break it down by fragrance type, etc. It made me perk my ears a bit because in the video, it was mentioned that he sprays anywhere from 3-16 (yes, 16!!!) sprays depending on the fragrance/season/etc. He also mentioned wearing anything year round just adjusting sprays...which may be another discussion. I've always been more conservative (2-3 chest/neck and one on each arm - MAX)...but I went and put on 7 sprays of the Eros EDT this morning and my wife immediately caught a whiff from 4-5 feet away out the gate...so have I been doing this wrong the whole time???? But for the sake of conversation...how many sprays is appropriate? What's the context? How do you determine spray count?
