 This is only a partial listing of rated fragrances.  More will be added weekly- if not daily!  The "bottle" ratings I give to certain fragrances is from my personal experience and preference. I don't rate a fragrance by popularity- only because popularity tends to be driven by advertising- not quality.  (a [numeric] rating is used on this page to save you download time)
Best! = 5

Worst! = 1/2
