Want to order one of the above and it seems like it’s a no brainer as Russe is being discontinued but it’s still available on many websites, I like colonia style scents so was wondering which scent would be best, I tried Seville and didn’t care for it.
BM Chypre vs Russe

If you like colonias I'd lean toward Le Grand Chypre
I vastly prefer Russe.
It’s a classical colonia. Neroli heavy, but not sharp like an Italian colonia.
Lgc is peachy. Sort of strange imo. I’m finding I don’t really like most chypres though.

I prefer LGC by a wide margin, it's among my all time favorites. Your wanting something akin to colonial reinforced my presumption that LGC is your better bet.
I like both, but russe is a little stronger bold type scent that you might catch whiffs later on post shave or maybe on your dried brush. LGC is like a really good good slightly peach citrus, but could also be more modern and less bold then russe.
