I usually buy a few samples since 1ml lasts longer than it sounds, but this is the only thing I've ever bought a full bottle of:

Beyond that, I really like Imaginary Authors, particularly Sundrunk and Slow Explosions. Really want to try their new glacier named fragrance too, but they aren't selling sample sizes yet :(

Normally I like outdoorsy, foresty, or watery scents. What are your favorites?

    I used to think I liked YSL Y, but it's given me nausea several times and possibly made me vomit once. I even bought the Arab knockoff from Lataffah and that shit made me nauseous as well lol.

    Currently I like Ameer al Oud (a clone of By the Fireplace), although it might smell too much like a fireplace (and possibly incense) lol. I like it because it has caramel notes, but I think it's off putting for others.

    I might consider Vicebomb because it's cherry and caramel which sounds good to me lol, although I've read that cherry scents can come off as medicinal. It's also $200 for 100 mL which is insane lol. But really I'm in the market for something cherry and not too feminine. Montagne and Dossier are cheaper alternatives that I've heard good things about, but the fragrance world has too many shills that it's hard to find honest opinions.
