So it's final university year, and so many graduation parties nowadays, but there's this main, formal event taking place on the 1st of May. I've tried my outfit, and I think this is the best look I have ever done. The outfit for the event brings a few traditional elements, a few modern ones and puts them together.
Now for the interesting stuff. What fragrance to wear? I could smell modern or old, really doesn't matter since the theme is a bit mixed anyway. The crowd is young, all in early twenties. Here are the options:
Terre d'Hermes
Habit Rouge
Diptyque L'ombre dans L'eau
Annick Goutal Sables
Dior Homme
Caron Pour Un Homme
Parfum d'Habit
Cartier Declaration
For a while I thought Dior Homme is the most suitable choice. It feels like the most "stylish" of those and would portray the kind of metrosexual image that I want. It would have been an easy choice IMO, but then I finished my sample. Feel free to suggest DH though, I could get me a sample or a small bottle soon. Whatever I'm going to wear, I *will* over apply. Of the guys who will wear perfume, 50% will be wearing Desire and 49% will wear whatever the newest Hugo is, and I wouldn't be particularly happy if any of that overpowered my scent. I want to stand out, be loud and (very) detectable in this mess. This is very important criteria in choosing the scent. Please note that "over apply" is relative. For example, over applying Sables means going for 5 sprays, over applying Diptyque is 10+.
It's an evening event. There could be a bit of dancing and sweating, especially that the weather is not particularly cool this time of the year in Cairo. This makes me less inclined to the heavy stuff, namely Sables and Habit Rouge. But the plus of wearing Sables is that it would make me feel very comfortable and intrigue people to ask all night, and for Habit Rouge is that it puts me in the most confident state ever.
Terre d'Hermes and Declaration are in the same category for me. I like the Hermes more, it has better longevity and I can detect a drop from five meters away, but Declaration has a special and unique feel to it too.
Parfum d'Habit is in a category of its own. It is quite strange, because even though sometimes I think this is my number one fragrance, and there is no time that I would not want to smell this on me, I always find myself reluctant to wear it. I spray it at my arms often for personal enjoyment. Maybe I think this is just too good to go out with. I'm really not sure (I think this needs a thread
)
Anyway, please suggest one of the scents in the list above. Many thanks in advance!
