Well, I was thinking about recommending a fragrance for a longtime friend of mine who works at a big well-known ad agency.
Here's some details about him:
-He lives in NYC, so availability is not an issue... you have a bunch of places to buy cologne.
-He wears cologne to work daily (just like us Basenoters) because he takes the subway to work. Once, he said to me "after all, it is stinky in the subway".
-He tracks brands of all kinds to see which brands have momentum, which ones are doing so-so, and which ones are struggling. But, then again, so do many folks on Madison Avenue.
-He goes to Asia. Often. So something heavy is not an option, given cultural preferences.
-Unlike us Basenoters, his current scent rotation is between either Acqua di Gio or YSL L'Homme, both of which he picks up at one of the many NYC-area Sephora locations. And he likes those "a lot", so those could be good reference points.
-He has a good sense of humor, but he also manages to be serious at the same time. He's definitely not like the type you see on the TV show "Mad Men".
Could you give me some suggestions?

I've worked with the ad industry here for 25 years and concur with recommendations for GIT, Original Vetiver & AdP Colonia (and or Assoluta). Trust me, with 30c and 90 something % humidity these are bullet proof. Dior Homme also interesting option for this part of the world.
