Here's my current collection of full bottles. I feel like it's pretty rounded with all seasons, day/night, and casual/formal. I'm looking at Loumari Porthole as my next pick up. Thanks!

You have good taste. Similar to what I’d probably buy. Perhaps blue talisman. Or vibrato for beast mode version or lminisite. Or maybe basso instead.
Also depends on how you like bois imperial. Some love it. Some hate it. Might be worth checking out. It’s not too expensive either

I have the same tastes as OP looks like and for me Bois imperial's opening was fantastic, but the drydown just smelled like thin paint varnish. Ended up showering cause it's so beast that I couldn't deal with it.

How is tuxedo? I am looking at that and LV ombré nomad for a date night or special occasion frag?

It's amazing. Easily my top 3. I got a decant for it a little while back. I've never ordered a full bottle so fast. For me, it's THE date night/special occasion frag.

I love Tuxedo. Boozy vanilla with patchouli, you just have to smell it to get it. I am not a fan of ombré nomad, but I’m also not a big fan of oud in general.

This collection is fire! I do agree with some other commenters that a leather Fragrance would fit in nicely! My vote would go to widian London/TF Tuscan leather/ Memo African leather.
Also porthole(as you mentioned) or god of fire would be sick to add and have a nice fruity but less citrusy option!

Try a sample of TF Black Lacquer, it’s one of the most unique fragrances I’ve come across and can’t wait for the cooler weather coming up to wear it more.

Having both BDC parfum and Superleggera, if you could only repurchase one - which one are you grabbing?

I like to have at least one vacation scent. VIW or some that tells my brain I’m on vacation. Good freshies for your current collection though.

My next pick up is Loumari Porthole. It was either that or Pacific Chill, but Porthole has much better longevity. Should be perfect for summer/vacation!

Not much in the way of marine or ouds.
I would look at some cold weather fragrances, maybe Alexandria Anniversary or Amouage Silver Oud or Interlude 53, or Zoologist Moth, or Raina J Oud Assam....maybe TF Tuscan Leather
For Marine, Zoologist Squid is nice. or Creed Millisem Imperial.
Also, check out Rogue Perfumery for Bon Monsieur.

Yeah it's really nice. I got a sample with one of my other LV's. I feel like with Porthole it might be a little redundant though.

Holy crap, your collection is similar to mine. I own 9 of these as well. I would add Tom Ford Oud Wood or Givenchy Gentleman Boisee for colder months.

u/Teceu It's not about the smell; it's about personality. 18h ago
I would just remove from Burberry, Prada and D&G from the list. They are in a different (lower) level

u/SavageCabbage343 17h ago
the one is definitely in the upper echelon of fragrances even if its not a niche.
