Right now, I can't imagine tiring of any of those, but many more are knocking on Heaven's door.
Guerlain Vetiver, Acqua di Parma, T&H 1805, Dunhill for Men (1934), etc..
Five is such a low number for favorites.

OK, I haven't tried a lot of colognes yet, but right now I'd say
1. Creed Bois du Portugal
2. Czech & Speake No. 88
3. Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet
4. T&H 1805
5. Floris Santal
I just got a huge decant of No. 88 from a guy at Basenotes, and the more I sit here sniffing it on my arm the better I like it. He also threw in a tiny sample of Jean Pascal that I haven't even sniffed yet.

Floris No.89
Floris Cefiro
Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme
Don't have a top 5 yet since I've never been able to try that many
I'm greedy to try some Penhaligons.

I'm greedy to try some Penhaligons.Most of my favorite colognes along the journey of my sixty years have been discontinued, including Caswell Massey's original Newport and their Vetiver. Here are my current favorites.
PRADA FOR MEN
TRUMPER AJACCIO VIOLET
TRUMPER EXTRACT OF LIMES
GENDARME
CASWELL ELIXIR OF LOVE #1
(A note on the last one- this is promoted for women, but the subtle musky scent is very unisexual. I suggest you give it a try and decide for yourselves!)

OK, a bit of a revision for me, as I've been trying quite a few new ones recently.
1. Czech & Speake - No. 88
2. Tauer - L'Air du Desert Marocain
3. Penhaligon - Blenheim Bouquet
4. T&H 1805
5. L'Occitane Eau du Badian
Also receiving votes: Serge Lutens - Ambre Sultan; Floris - Santal; L'Artisan - Mechant Loup; Etro - Sandalo; SCS - Very V.
The Creed has falen off the radar for me. the more I wear it the more I notice that as it dries down it turns into something that, while pleasant, becomes very nondescript. And for the price, nondescript is not good. Once I finish the sample of it that I have, I probably won't buy any more.
OK... a bit of an update...
