OK guys, here's your chance to guide me through the scent world and help me pick out one for this Autumn. I never usually wear perfumes of any kind, so much research needed. Several years ago I settled on Armani He and I still like that a lot, but it's running out.
So today went and tried a bunch. I'm looking for further suggestions like the ones I preferred today roughly in order:
1. Givenchy Interdit - great on the nose, immediate appeal, and seems to back it up OK
2. Issey Super Majeure - did a lot right and nothing much wrong, could maybe live with this?
3. Paco Rabanne 1 Million - not convinced but it's attractive, something not quite right.
4. Dior Eau Sauvage and Sauvage - very nearly there, impressive
5. Armani Code - as above, nearly there but less allure than Sauvage
Armani He is competitive with all the above.
OK but not for me:
Givenchy Pour Home - rather too "perfumey"
Cool Water - fresh but rather simple
CK One - agreeable but not more, too "perfumey"
Dior Homme - light, dry and agreeable, good but rather weak
Not for me:
Chanel Bleu
Jimmy Choo Homme
Tom Ford Noir
CK Eternity - too citrus
YSL Y
That was Day 1. Where do I go from here - plenty more I could try? I'm in London UK.
