Hi all,
(Little Intro) If you dont have 3 minutes or want to save time, please scroll down to my actual question
..)
1st post here,
I got to admit I'm pretty new to really looking ''deeper'' into fragrances, for the last few years I pretty much looked at the ''Top Ten male fragrances'' list to see what I was going to buy.
Which meant; I didn't smell it at all sometimes, I didnt look for how long the frag would last on my skin, and if it even suited me in the 1st place.
Looking back...I think I wasted pretty much around 350 dollar on fragrances which I bought based on either:
-It having a beautiful bottle design
-It having a great ad campaign
Or one that was known to be popular..
Now to mention to of those (for me) big disappointments:
CK ONE, this one REALLLY didnt work on my skin, and while it had a beautiful ad campaign and it smelled good in the bottle it took 2 days for my sister to put aside her good manners and made the comment that the fragrance smelled horrible on me.. bang, 47 bucks gone..
My second and biggest disappointment of al was Jil Sander Pure for men, It smelled nice in the store. But it seems to have a lasting power (on me at least) of about 5 minuteswhich makes it a pretty expensive toilet freshener at best bang, 48,. Bucks lighter
After that buy I decided I was going to put more research into fragrances before buying one.
I tested frags for lasting power, if it matched to my skin and even did research on most brands.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is ...
Right now my collection is this:
Chanel Allure Homme Sport (My best buy yet)
Marc Jacobs Marc Jacobs for men
Armani - Acqua Di Gio
Boss - Boss Bottled
But Im looking for a new fragrance to add to my collection.
It should have some lasting power, Im a student and itd be nice if it lasted for a school day since I dont like to take those beautiful fragrance bottles to school for a re-spray after the first half of the day..
More importantly to me, is that it is somewhat exclusiveI mean, when I wear Acqua Di Gio, I can pretty much guess that there are 2 to 4 other guys in my class wearing the same fragrance
Soits got to be somewhat exclusive..
Some other KEYwords: Masculine, confident, warm (winters coming up), classy,
We all know Tom Ford, that kind of charisma
By the way. Im a 21 year old student, so the fragrance shouldnt be TOO classic also
I have 4 fragrances in mind from which I could choose, these are:
Terre d'Hermès (Im Really Really leaning towards this one)
Envy for Men by Gucci
Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme
Gucci pour Homme
So, I think Im going to try to choose between those /\\, Of course Im very open to other suggestions so feel free to suggest others
Right now Im leaning towards Terre d'Hermès, its certainly pretty exclusive in my country and city especially, add to that that I love how original the scent isI just cant say; oh it smells like. It just doesnt smell like anything else Ive smelled..
I would love to get some advice from people who probably know much more about this then I doso any advice is very Very welcome..
Thanks a lot in advance,
