Need your advice, plz

Since it is my first post on this great board, i have to say to start with that i enjoy this site a lot. I ve been reading your posts and or reviews for a month now, and learned a lot.

I m totally addict to fragrance for one or two month, and have started my own little collection.

About me, I m 28, lawyer, and going out quite often.

This is what i bought last month, with my rating about it so you can know a bit more of my tastes.

Cartier Déclaration (8/10) ; Habit Rouge (7.5/10) ; Chanel pour Monsieur (7.5/10) ; Givenchy Very Irresistable Fresh Attitude (7/10) ; Burberry for Men (former London, silver cap) (8/10) ; Terre d'Hermès (8/10) ; Bulgari Aqua Marine (7/10) ; Versace Man (purple bottle) (5/10) ; Versace Dreamer (7.5/10) ; YSL Rive Gauche (8/10)

Now, eventually ^^ my question :

I m gonna buy a few more tomorrow, and since i live in Switzerland i can n ot find most of the delicate (but rare ?) fragrances you often speak about, i pretty much have so far to stay in very well-known Brands (YSL; GUcci Chanel etc.) to be sure to find what i want.

Now i would like you to tell me what you would recommand me as a must, in those "famous brands" for my next buys ???
I want at least one or two for nights (clubbing or dinning ) and one or two for summer for my job (i wear a suit every day fyi)

A few I was thinking about :

D & G : by Man or Pour Homme,
Guerlain : Mouchoir or L'instant or Héritage
YSL : M7 or Jazz (i tried live jazz and loved it, might also add it on the list)
Ungaro III.
Rochas, don t know which one yet, 2 or 3 seems very promising from your reviews.

If you can tell me what you would recommend me in this list and / or which "huge" fragrance i m forgetting, would help me a lot, since i m still just another newbie ^^

Btw, sorry for my bad English, hopefully it will get better by posting on this board.

Edit, forgot to add that for me Sillage and longevity are very important. Thanks !

Alex.

Thx Dimitri !

I ll try l'air du desert marocain for sure, looks great. Never heard about this perfumer, will give it a try for sure.

For Terre d Hermes, great advice imho, but i have it already in my collection

And as you can see i rated it as one of my highest, i love the fact that you can wear it for work or for going out, and great longevity as well ...
And yeah all of these well known brands are easily accessible.

Any more advice is very welcome !

Thx a lot for the answers, very helpful.

Will try for sure some of the guerlaiin stuff, specially Heritage.

Ungaro III for sure, also from the reviews looks just great. I love YSL so i ll try M7 and Jazz, review of l'Homme did not impress me but i might giv e it a try as well. Already tried Live Jazz, it was just great on my skin. Not a huge sillage but an amazing longevity, specially for a "fresh" one.

Petruccijc, from which brand is acqua di parma ? Name sounds great ^^

Dimitri i wwonder if i can find Narciso Rodriguez , never saw it so far. If i can i ll try it as well.

Last thing, no one spoke abbout D & G pour Homme, is it worth it ? And what about Mouchoir de Guerlain ?


I like Dior homme (sample) but does not last enough imo.

OMG this board quite simply rox my sox.

You guys confused me, my list is way too long now ^^ .

_i m going to have some kind of "compulsive" buying

Thx a lot anyway, i m leaving to madrid tomorrow, airport duty free here i come

I ll post saturday what i ve bought (probably 2-3 when i go and 2-3 when i come back , duty free ftw !)

M7 seems a must for most of you, same goes with Guerlain, specially heritage and l instant. Will buy both i guess ^^

I m also going to buy (after having tested it on skin) Ungaro III. seems great.

From the reviews Rochas seem very very interesting as well, the 3 of it imo. I ll have to test on my skin and will pick at least one Rochat as well.

Thx also for the Vera Wang suggestion, would never have though of it alone. Will try to test it if i can. About Egoiste, had one bottle of the normal one and one of the platinum as well. Unfortunately, both are empty since it was before my fragrance "caprice" ^^ . I have to say i loved them both, specially the normal one. I forgot to say i finally have in my collection Chanel Allure . Like it a lot (8 or 8.5/10) .

Finally to answer the guy who posted on 1st page, i m in geneva, what means not in the mountains, so in summer it is between 25 to 32 Celsius more or less

Yeah, interesting question ..

It s true that so far, i don t have preferences regarding the older or newer.

This is also because since i m new, i want to have very diversified stuff, something from everything, old, new, fresh, heavy, etc. etc.

If you take two of my little collection, i love Habit Rouge, specially for the fall, but i love Terre d Hermès for other occasions.

I want a bit of everything to start with (for the ~ 25 - 30 first bottle) .

Then i ll go probably more in a chosen direction
