Have over 60 bottles in my fragrance collection including some carefully curated vintage bottles (70s/80s). Its always a challenge deciding what to wear/take flying as I roll HLO and have been "that guy" choking out the cabin a few times too many ...😜 so I usually end up just wearing one of the AdP colonias. Interested in what others like to wear when flying - maybe your top 3?
 
And you’ve been wearing it since high school?
I had to switch something like 10yrs after high school when the one I’d been wearing from high school was discontinued in roll-on (can’t recall which it was).

It’s an anti-perspirant that‘s sold everywhere & is readily available & only needs a dab … FTW!

I bring travel sizes of my favorite fragrances and all the little samples I get.

None of my top 3 fragrances are suitable to wear for travel.
Top 3 travel:
Gypsy Water
Santal 33
Chanel Gardenia

Have a few Byredo in my collection. Love the lemon vanila juniper combo in GW but can be bit powdery on me. Quite like Morning Chess from Vilhelm Parfumerie too which has an Creed Aventus vibe to me. Thumbs up for the Santal 33 too - a nice woody leather iris which I have worn but dont have atm but have a few other Le Labo. The Chanel Gardenia is a classic white floral - lovely. Happy to sit next to you anytime Princess! 😃
 
Joop. My son gave me a bottle for Christmas, and told me it was 'sex in a bottle'. After 3 months I told him it must have been out of date...

My top 3 non travel are nothing like this.
I’m a bit of a chameleon when it comes to fragrance.
Non travel :
MKK
Shalimar EDP vintage
Portrait of a Lady
 
As someone who is very sensitive to strong smells my preference would be none but if you do wear perfume please be aware to be subtle

I even have to be aware of strong smelling soaps when I wash my hands when I’m out

Hence why my travel fragrances if I wear any are completely different to my going out / evening perfumes.
No desire to inflict any strong or distinctive scents in a confined space.
 
One should definately be considerate/prudent with perfumes when couped up with a bunch of captive others for 2 - 14 hours who may be sensitive and/or dont share your idea of what "smells nice". Sometimes less is more .... but some people just start to smell after 5 hours 😳 so deodorant should be min requirement I think?

Nice PF. Like the funky musk/coughin/rose interplay in MKK. POAL is lovely - I also like others Dom Ropion did for FM like Carnal Flower and Une Fleur de Cassie.
