I have not worn any type of cologne for almost 15 years. It was Hugo Boss back then. Now I am thinking of using unscented deodorant but would still like some type of subtle good smell. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can't go wrong with Curve.

Most colognes are reasonable subtle provided you don't put too much on.
I like Monsieur Balmain, especially in the warm months. Starts with a blast of lemon but cools down quickly to a nice, subtle, clean and refreshing scent.

prada infusion d'homme smells like ivory soap...

Mugler Cologne by Thierry Mugler is what I would recommend. VERY light and clean. Smells more like good soap than cologne IMO.
Gendarme, Mugler Cologne, and Prada Infusion d'Homme - these three fit the bill for understated and clean.
This is a good suggestion. Monsieur Balmain can be bought for quite cheap too.
You could also try Prada Amber. Most people think it smells like a fancy soap.
Another that came to mind that is similarly light, fresh, and "clean," which is also easy to find and inexpensive is CK One by Calvin Klein.
Yup!
+ a big number to Mugler! Nice, clean soapy smell with a hint of fresh cut grass

Thanks for all the input. I should hopefully find what I am looking for from all the recommendations.
Anything with citrus notes, or described as 'summery', is going to be pretty faint and not stick around very long.
