Thread Starter 
I am looking for a great scent to buy for my boyfriend for his graduation from college. I was going to buy Dzing, but he just bought some . I want it to be something special but also something he can wear everyday. Cool bottles are also a plus. Any suggestions?

What does he already own? This will give us an idea of what type of fragrances he likes.

haha, chances are he'll see this thread. If surprise is not a factor, maybe you should just ask him?

Good point guys. It's true that he'll see this thread, however I figured I would pick one of the suggestions as a decoy and tell him that that one will be his gift, but actually choose a different one. Even if he reads this post, he still won't know which one is the real one, because he'll only hear about the decoy from me, or maybe since he'll read this post, I'll tell him the real one and he'll think it's a decoy. Either way, it will end up being a surprise. Thanks everyone.

hmmm tricky. You'll need something dashing and unusual. It should go well with the "devastatingly handsome, but taken" type. You should ask his girlfriend what she likes...

BTW, welcome to Basenotes.

Hmmm...based on his ratings...how about Montale Wood & Spices. Creed Royal Delight. Malle Musc Ravageur. L'Artisan Ambre Extreme. Floris Santal Intense. Dior Bois d'Argent. Lutens Miel de Bois. Yves Saint Laurent Body Kouros?

Or...

The search is going on. Thank you for all your suggestions, both here and in PMs. We're going through some samples to pick out top favorites. Phil's graduation is on May 28th, so we're getting close. I'll update with a final choice as soon as I can make one.

Looking at his wardrobe, I would have to say Mechant Loup

But I also think he could do with some Terre d'Hermes
