Versace The Dreamer (well, I need to try it out in those situations, personally)
Le Male (well, it used to be one of my old favorites, I'm going to give this one another spin again after two-years)

I'm getting a decant of 1 Million, I'll eventually try that out in a party environment.

Dior Homme Intense! Absolute perfection!

Chanel Sycomore is a fantastic idea though...I'll have to try that one of these days.

EDIT: I agree By Kilian Back to Black is an amazing scent for nightclub wear!

Another vote for the dreamer and anything out of the way such as Versace black jeans, my beloved caleche jump combo or just the obvious gourmand choices.
might give M7 a proper go.

I think if I were attending an informal social gathering with friends that I would wear Guerlain Eau du 68 but for the more formal event I would wear Mitsouko.

Cerruti 1881 Black

Lancome Hypnose (not a clubbing scent, but I encoutered it in such a manner that 3 years ago in the entrance of the club, hostesses were giving testers of it, and so it became a clubbing scent to me because of the memory + it was a good year for me)

I don't need to say that the list changes completely when we're clubbing during summer...

Kenzo PH

Azzaro PH

Azzaro Silver Black

Hugo Boss Boss in motion

Davidoff Cool Water

Bvlgari Aqua

Not much into clubbing, but whenever I still go out, I do wear most of the frags already mentioned on this board (one at a time , not all layered at once, of course), but mainly: Gucci Envy and Rochas Man

Hilarious!!! I totally agree, even though I would include Rochas Man on my list too. I would also add Live Jazz (always got great feedback), Bvlgari PH Soir, Paul Smith London (doesn't project as well), Chanel Allure, Burberry Touch, and a few others. But I wouldn't wear Le Male unless I wanted to smell like 3 other guys at the party (and this is GUARANTEED to happen).

Paco Rabbane 1 Million
Black XS
Issey Miyake Pour Homme
Armani Attitude

...those are the fragrances I'll usually wear when going out to either a club, party or a event similar to both. Some may question why I've put down Issey Miyake, but I've found out it's a actually a pretty good fragrance when going out, lasts a long time giving a good impression with the vibrant citrus and it's a cologne I really like because it's so versatile.

It's been said before though "Body Kouros" goes certainly well with the Party Scene. It'll stand out amongst the booze and Tobacco.

I do advise it as being a night time frag. A great adaption of the incense and vanilla category.

Cheers and take care!

Hey "Imrickjames18" I usually average 5-8 sprays with a Mild frag..Ie; Azzaro PH -->(Well for me atleast!) though with an extremely vociferous frag such as "Kouros" I'd say a max of 3 sprays is perfect! And with a light/aquatic frag..8-10 is the max for me!

- Good Luck!
