Help: What's My Next Vintage?

[Professor Value]

The Basenotes' monthly Vintage SOTD Threads have made me aware of and led me to try and buy several new-to-me fragrances. I'm seeking a recommendation: which ONE of these, hands down, should I purchase for my next vintage mini-bottle to sample?
Fendi Uomo
Maxim's Pour Homme
Zegna Pour Homme
Biagiotti Uomo
Carlo Corinto Rouge
Roccobarocco Pour Homme
New West

(I never smelled the other 3 )
In my opinion, they are all safe blind buys, I doubt that any of them displease you (fyi, I blind bought these 4 ).

Sounds like Maxim's is my buy for today. If I can find a reasonably priced mini of Fendi, might as well pull the trigger on that one as well. Thank you, everyone!

Let us know what you think of them once you've tried them.

Hands down JICKY Released in 1889 (133 years and counting). Arguably, the greatest scent of all time.

Jicky is wonderful. But if we’re recommending scents not on Prof’s short list, this becomes a whole different thread.

I purchased Maxim's and, fortunately, it should be here tomorrow as the seller is in my state and only 60 miles away.

 

[Professor Value]

And, another that should have been on my list above of which I just ordered a mini-bottle is GIANFRANCO FERRE HOMME.

You should also give Fendi Uomo a chance!

I will. Just trying to find a lower-priced mini-bottle to sample. Thanks.

 

[Professor Value]

Also very close to getting a mini-bottle of Zegna Pour Homme.

 

[nosey74]

I will. Just trying to find a lower-priced mini-bottle to sample. Thanks.

I can send you some just message me with your details

From a personal viewpoint alone-whatever you choose from this list is great anyway.
Although personally most inclined to recommend especially Roccobarocco as the absolute favorite from this list, closely followed especially by Fendi Uomo and Biagiotti Uomo as respectable alternative/second options, still aware that all the other ones remain great vintage scents on their own.

 

[Professor Value]

While Zegna and Maxim's mini-bottles are in the mail, I just received and have been testing one that wasn't on my original list: Gianfranco Ferre for Man. While I very much like this scent, performance on my skin is below average, so I don't foresee a full bottle in my future.

 

[JBHoren]

I took a look at your Wardrobe -- there's some overlap between ours. Contra everyone else, I'd recommend adding the Aramis New West (owned it in a "past life"; wore the hell out of it, loved it, used it up... miss it).

 

[Redfish365]

I think you were correct in buying the truly magnificent Maxims. I love the stuff and think you will too.

 

[Professor Value]

I misspoke before. The Maxim's mini-bottle I ordered was from a seller in California. From there last Monday, May 9th, USPS sent it to Texas and then it landed in Puerto Rico! It appears to be stuck there for now. Seller already issued a refund, but now it looks like I need to reorder it. I see that two of my other orders are out for delivery today: Zegna and Biagiotti.
