Reflection Man is comprised of BEAUTIFUL white florals. Never knew something could smell so good and opulent to be fair.
Jubilation is very complex, I don't even know how to describe it.

Introduction

I've smelled more than 50+ fragrances, and I come to present you the best smelling ones.
Many of them are niche fragrances, they're expensive. Also, the rank is according to my preferences.
Each of the fragrances will have a fragrantica link, where you can view detailed information on the fragrance, including the best seasons to wear them, the performance, the sillage, etc.

Also, feel free to ask me questions about any of these fragrances in the comments section below.

Ranking

S tier: "Holy f***ing moly, this smell is unbelievable! I never knew things could smell that good! DAMN!! This is otherworldly!!!"
A tier: "Wow, these smell absolutely amazing, I can't stop smelling it!!! This is half-way otherworldly! DAMN! "
B tier: "These smell great!'
C tier: "Meh..."
D & F Tier: "Below average or UGH!"
Click to expand...
I've had about 20 out of all of these and I have to say that this ranking is pretty decent. First Naxos is good but it's appeal is obliterated by the musky notes even in old batches. Your top 3 are great but also have limited appeal due to their extremely oudy nature. The rest of your A tier is spot on. Narcotic delight and Side effect should also be added to A tier. Red Tobacco should be moved to fucking D tier that shit is woman repellant, instead try Triumph of Bacchus by Argos I dont really like it but its one of the most well-liked colognes in the community so try it ig. Greenley, Percival and Layton are all insane, although I believe that percival smells a bit like bug spray (older batches are better and maceration changes a lot), so I believe they should be moved to low A tier since Greenley smells a bit cheap but its really good. The rest I agree with. C tier is a pretty bad ranking imo, VIW and Aventus should be high in A tier and aventus cologne too even though you havent smelled it it seems. Torino 21 should be S tier no doubt, Amyris Homme A tier, Althair F tier shit smells so bad, the rest is good. But overall good list. If you need any reccomendations for S-Tier lmk since there is a fuck ton you havent smelled that you're missing out on.

Red Tobacco has potential. I liked the smell, but it had a puke-like feeling to it. It smells like a good cologne that had rotting notes.

Also, S and A Tier are otherworldly, or half-otherworldly. I didn't find Side Effect to be otherworldly, like it didn't catch my attention, but it smelled nice. Same with Narcotic Delight. Don't get me wrong, they are amazing fragrances, better than anything I've tried, but they didn't make me to go "WOW!" like Reflection Man did.

Greenley, Percival, and Layton didn't wow me either, but they were good, so I put them in B tier.

Layton and Greenley is the best out of all of the PDMs in B Tier.

Also, for anyone lurking, Oud For Greatness, Oud for Greatness Neo and Haltane all smell similar, but OFG Neo and Haltane are more related compared to OFG Neo and Haltane are to OFG. OFG is darker and denser. OFG Neo and Haltane smell more aromatic, fresher, and more uplifting. You can check the note breakdown of you click the links.

Anyways. VIW has this strong lime note that isn't pleasing really. It should be like a lemon or orange or tangerine and should be toned down. I was hoping for it to smell more tropical, but it smells more like a citrus tropical than a fruity coconut tropical.

Aventus smells mature and the smell isn't above average to me.
Torino 21 didn't wow me or impress me with its smell, so C tier.
Amyris homme is good, nothing wowing or alluring so B tier.

Althair smells sweet as hell. Couldn't wear it.

Thanks!

Torino 21 may not wow you but its one of my most complimented colognes same with angels share. I think the 2 best fragrances of all time for me are sospiro vibrato (tygar duep but better still like 240$) and imagination by LV

Hey, I like florals, amber, vanilla (lightly), fruity notes, sandalwood, cedar, fir, aromatic, boozy, and warm spicy notes (like cinnamon).
Some subtle citruses or powdery is fine. Should smell slightly masculine.
I usually don't like fresh fragrances (unless its Elysium or Greenley). According to this and my list, what do you think I should sample.

You can't get it shipped to Brazil? Can't you go to Sao Paulo or Rio and find a neiman marcus or sephora and sample?
Or is there too much theft for those stores to exist?

I highly discourage you from blind buying. Although I and some others think this is a solid list, I don't think you should blind buy.

I live in a major city (2 - 5 milion population), there are Sephora, but they only sell designers (Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, etc)
Talking about the theft, there are some luxury stores here, they aren't there not because of theft, but because the market is not so big, rich people can go to São Paulo or Rio to buy something.
Niche Fragrances are triple the price here in Brazil, but we can buy it online.
I'm planning to go to São Paulo and i will test some fragances in niche stores that are there, or i'll buy a decant (U$4-12 for a 5ml sample of a niche fragance)

cedar boise is very average and not at all female gaze, if you want a real female gaze which is 100% guaranteed and this is with real life tests its khamra by lattafa, its so powerful and so sweet ive barely gotten compliments on other fragrances but this one gets me a lot.
