Help me pick my next fragrance

Thread Starter 
I have not bought a fragrance since joining basenotes. I currently have Hypnose Homme, OS Signature, Versace The Dreamer, and Jovan Ginseng NRG. I love Obsession and Gucci Envy but fell they don't fit in with my age group well (I am 26). I need suggestions for my next fragrance from my friends here at basenotes. Here is my criteria for picking the new fragrance.
1)The fragrance will be bought in a store not online.
2)Sillage and Longevity are important to me.
3)I don't want anything that is to popular because I don't want to smell like everyone else.
4)I don't like Aquatics like ADG and Polo Blue.

Any suggestions.

I think that both scents suit your age fine. I doubt you'll ever get a remark like "you smell young" or anything similar to that. I happen to Love Envy.

Something that I think you might be able find are:
Rochas Man
Dior Homme
Animale Animale
Rive Gauche
Lacoste original

Try Burberry Brit for Men. It is very strong and lasts forever.

I second the Rochas Man if you want something sweet.
I would also try something like Mugler Cologne or Prada Amber for clean scents, L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent for a sexy scent or Bulgari Blu if you like tabacco scents (like Dreamer).
As for Envy, I'm sure you could pull it off if you can just get around the "older" associations you get from it.
