Been a big fan of Versace Pour Homme recently. Go to a mall, smell a bunch and pick the one you like. Don't blind buy and don't be influenced by people paid to sell scents. If you want to try out small samples, try Microperfumes.com, they're legit and ive bought from them multiple times.
If you’re looking for something new, buy from fragrancevault.net locally owned in Tahoe, also a non-profit wolf dog rescue org. They sell decants so you can try a ton before getting a bottle
I wear a lot of mens, my favorite right now is probably Haltane, parfums de marly. Cheapy would be club de nuit intense, really good dupe for Aventus by creed
I’ve been collecting colognes for a long time. I believe I have around 62 atm. My absolute favorite of all time is By Dolce & Gabbana. Unfortunately it’s been discontinued and people who sell them are usually asking over $400. I have about 3/4 of a bottle left.
I have few from Versace. Rarely use them since I don't think colognes have a place in everyday life where you are sitting with +70 different people through out the day. Deodorant should be enough.
