Favourite Colognes and Aftershaves

Much like OP, I haven't had a great deal of exposure but what I have tried includes the following;
Calvin Klien Euphoria/Euphoria Intense
Davidoff Cool Water
Versace Eau Fraiche
Cerruti L'Essence De Cerruti
Dolce & Gabbana The One
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Sport
Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme


Favourite being the Cerruti. Almost impossible to find now, I've just ordered some from fragrancenet (I know :( ) in the US. Hopefully it a) arrives and b) is actually the real thing.
The YSL and CK Euphoria Intense were also very good.
 
Top shelf stuff: Penhaligons Sartorial, Duoro, Bayolea, Blenheim Bouquet

Every day stuff: Hanae Mori "HM", Laura Biagiotti "Roma Uomo", Kenzo "Kenzo", JPG "Male", Guy Laroche "Drakkar Noir", Pacco classic "Pour Homme"

Budget: Cologne Italiana (AdP style), Positano (Italian black fig) both from Extro are great VFM
 
I haven't sampled a great deal of scents but I have and really enjoy;

Safari ( I started buying this in 1993 and still do so must be good!)
English Blazer and
Tsar (Wife's favourite hands down).

After smelling @todras's Aqua de Sydney I'm pretty keen to get some Aqua de Gio though.

Aqua di Gio is one of the best scents around IMO
 
I have so many I love depending on the season and my mood, in the last few months it has been these most often....

Cologne Intense by Houbigant
Héritage by Guerlain
Colonia by Acqua Di Palma
Fougère Royale by Houbigant (2010)
Le Male by Gaultier (1995 only for me)
Homme Guerlain (On occasion)
 
Blended scotch, no thanks mate. I'm a single malt kinda guy.

I'm yet to try a single malt that I actualy like. maybe you can open my eyes to the world of single malts one day

but until then the smokey line of blendeds are my go to.

but in saying that I never turn my nose up to something that someone has crafted and they stand behind. I will always give a product Wether it's a scotch whiskey or bourbon or even a tequila brewed in a bath tub, it's time before I judge

I take that as a great compliment coming from you, Mate. Cheers!

I have not forgotten your APR samples either, I have just been flat out of late (as usual). I will be sending out yours and others on Monday :)
