Cologne Purchase - Need some recommendations

[Userx234]

Hey all! I'm making a couple cologne purchases to expand my collection a lot.
Currently, all I have is:
Gucci Guilty - For nights out
Polo Blue - Nice daytime scent

But am thinking about getting the following after looking around a bunch of places:
La Nuit De L'homme - Anytime
Burberry London - Heard this is nice for formal occasions or night
Vetiver Guerlain - Day time
Polo Double Black - Evening

I'm a 21 year old male looking for some colognes that will last me a long time, I don't like anything too overpowering though.

What do you all think? Any changes you would make?

Thanks!

I think the zegna colonia might fit your requirements

I recommend trying samples if they are available to you, get an idea of not only what scents you like, but what scents work with your body. Everyone is a bit different, and some scents smell great on their own, but don't work with the body chemistry...I vote for Yves St. Laurent L'homme. Clean, masculine scent, not overpowering. And it always draws compliments...Good luck!

I have tried L'homme, polo black, but the other 2 I'm just going on recommendations.
La Nuit or regular?

Thanks! But I'll probably be buying from fragX and they don't have it in stock. I'll search around though, see if it's at the bay so I can test it or buy it.

I'd try a decant of the Gurlain before I bought it. It ain't for everyone.

Know of any places with cheap shipping to Canada?

I find YSL La Nuit a little too dark to use as an anytime cologne. YSL L'Homme however I feel is more of an all purpose cologne.

La Nuit is a fine fragrance.
also i like montblanc starwalker

Rive Gauche pour Homme is a nice one. Classy, seems to last.

Tabac Cologne is another that has some staying power, but not everyone is into the scent. Certainly worth trying out tho. YMMV

Clubman Special Reserve if you like a dark, oakmoss and leather kind of scent. It needs time to settle in once it's on your skin.

Of the four that you listed, I would recommend La Nuit (or Burberry London).

I also highly recommend Gucci Pour Homme II for you.

I'll try out the Gucci next time I go to the bay (if they have it, that is). Thanks!

I'll try out Rive Gauche pour Homme as well.
Clubman is on my list of things to try, but shipping to Canada is hard for cheap for that. Might pick it up if I go to the states any time soon.

You may be right, I used my friends again a day ago and it is good for evening, but I will have a couple of those. I might as well get YSL for day time.

I'll try out montblanc starwalker next time as well.

Thanks for all the recommendations!

As of now, I think I've narrowed it down to:
Burberry London by Burberry
Gucci Pour Homme Ii by Gucci
L'homme by Yves Saint Laurent
Rive Gauche by Yves Saint Laurent

and these are on the short list:
Vetiver Guerlain by Guerlain
Starwalker by Mont Blanc

Going to go out and try each of them to make sure though.
