Hey, I'm a 19 year old male going to college part time. I've never in my life used frags beyond body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant. That being said, I've recently decided to start learning about and using colognes. I live in a very small city and only have a Wal-Mart and a TJ Maxx to shop in. I've read several guides and lists online and have read quite a bit on here today about colognes. Before finding this site I bought a bottle of Acqua di Gio and a bottle of Envy. I only like Acqua di Gio after I've been wearing it for a very long time. I love the smell of Envy. I have a problem in that one spray of Acqua di Gio on my chest with a t-shirt and sweater is headache inducing and very strong until several hours later could this be partially because I'm not used to scents? I didn't have this problem as much with Envy, but it was still pretty strong.
Now, I wanted to see if I could get a general guideline for what types of scents are most likely to work well for my skin type. I have relatively oily, moist skin which stays very warm (so I've been told). I guess I should include a little bit more about myself- extra info never hurts. I'm tall and thin, relatively quiet but quite friendly and come off as cocky at times. I'm not a party-goer by nature but I've been known to show up at some every now and again. I wear jeans only sometimes, wearing..."trousers" most of the time. I wear a lot of wool sweaters at this time of year. I've been told that I'm much "classier" than most of my peers, but there's a definite yin to that yang.
That's most of the background I can offer. I'm also looking for suggestions, focusing on Creed, or other mainstream colognes like the ones I have. I'd really like something that isn't synthetic though.
Given what I've told you- I'm extremely open to suggestions. I'm a fairly tight budget right now, but I could swing a small bottle of average priced Creed with a sample vial first of course.
(I do most of my shopping on Amazon by the way)
Summary:
What types of frags go well (generally) with oily, warm skin? Also, given what I've told you about myself, what frags come to mind that you think I could "pull off"?
Any general recommendations?
