Community's top five right now are the divisive-and-loved Opium Pour Homme EDP (star anise vanilla cedar, 1995), Opium Parfum (1977 amber incense spice), 6 place Saint Sulpice (smoky leather resin, 2017), Y EDP (fresh apple sage aromatic, 2018) and Rive Gauche pour Homme (fougère star-anise, 2003).
