***Hi New Here! Some Fragrance Suggestions?(Please!?)***

Hello People,

As you can tell, I am new to the world of fragrances somewhat, been lurking around the forums for sometime and I found this site very helpful!

Anyway, I currently have

JPG Le Male "Smells Nice/Use for Fall+Winter and Special"
Canali Men "This one blew me away!/Use Spring Summer and Special"
Azzaro Chrome "Refreshing and Nice/Use Spring+Summer"
Versace Blue Jeans "GF gave me this one, smells ok/Use only when I am around her"

I guess you can say my nose is still untrained somewhat but whatever I sniff from a cologne and if it smells wonderful, I will buy it (I know this may be bad ).

I went to several stores and sampled several other colognes during the past 7 months

Issey Miyake (smells ok but not for me)
Armani Code (I think it's the tonka bean and something else there but very good)
Obsession (might as well chew cinnamon gum and rub it all over myself)
Kenneth Cole (Tested all of them and found I like RSVP for some reason)
Boss (Didn't find any appealing)
Curve (Don't know what was I thinking, too kiddie! nothing sophisticated and different)
Paris Hilton (Ewww!! Made me gag for sure! )
212 (Too grassy for me)
Versace Dreamer (nice but smells alot like Le Male, so not for me)
Kouros (PowerHouse Fragrance! Definately not for me)
BVLGARI Aqua (Not much reaction)
Burberry Brit/London (Not much too say, nothing amazing)
Versace Pour Homme (Smells Ok, but not attractive for some reason)
Aqua Di Gio (Just Dissapointing)
Dirty English (smells like roadkill! )
Polo and Black (Mango and some other weird ingredients, didn't find it appealing)
D&G Pour Homme/Light (Smelled like something from before)

Then comes

"THE ONE" (WOW!! THIS IS IT!!!!) I said.

There is something unique about this fragrance I haven't smelt on all other ones I have previously crossed out!! I don't know why but I found this one to be somewhat elegant, somewhat sophisticated and sweet but gently with longevity!

Sorry to make this way long but I guess what I am looking for is other suggestions based of what I like? I guess what I like is somewhere of

Modern
Classy
Not too intense or too Alcoholic
Sophisticated
Gentle but Sweet

Don't know if I am making any sense but I feel I may be missing out on something big, also can anyone provide any more feedback on "the one"? I am really looking to pull the trigger on this one at nordstrom but before I do, I would like to see what else you guys would suggest for someone like me?

Any help and every bit of it is greatly appreciated!!

Ok guys, I am noting and writing down all suggestions to check them out over the weekend, looks like I have alot of sniffing to do now so I will bring a huge bag of coffee beans with me keep them coming!

Okay guys!!!

Sorry for the long late reply, been very busy with work, college and alot of thing catching up again.

I have tried all suggestions, and I walked out with

The One by D&G

and

CHANEL ALLURE


Whoever suggested Allure, has a great nose for fresh, authentic ingredients! But it was quite expensive, but well worth it.


The others were not to exciting for me to buy but there were nice, just not for me, so any other suggestions?

I am looking to make my next purchase as a b-day gift to myself.

Hi,

comparing The One and Allure

They both last long on my skin, 8hrs+, but you have to remember that women have very sensitive noses!! So even if you don't smell it on yourself, trust me women around you will! So you might have to becareful with overspraying on either of these.

They are both really pleasing scents, they are not offensive, since I am in my mid 20's, I use The One for evenings thru nighttime and Allure for afternoon thru evenings. These are both considered fall//spring scents, so I wouldn't suggest them just for summer or winter.

Since you are 18, I would suggest Allure more because it's more of a safe side scent that won't offend much to the younger crowd, so you won't smell dated or old. It does project well and last long although it can last depending on your skin. The One I would use more as a special occasion/nighttime scent, but it's a bit more mature, maybe you could pull it off depending on you situation.

But hey, I would suggest you try both and see what works with your skin the best, and what makes you smell nice. I think they are both really good and you can't go wrong with either but if you want to be more on the safer side, Allure is awesome!

You should probably check out the reviews on you tube?


Xclusive, I will check Prada out Asap!!! thanks!!!
