Thread Starter 
My senior prom is this Friday and I would just like you guys to make a few suggestions for a scent, it can be off my list that I own bellow or one of your choosing. (Preferably one that I own) Keep in mid it will be warm, evening, may rain a little and I would prefer not to smell like every other guy there.

I own:
Armani Code
Armani Aqua Di Gio
Gucci by Gucci
Gucci Pour Homme
Gucci Pour Homme II
Gucci Envy
Azzaro Chrome
Guess Suede
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue
Hollister Jake (citrus, slightly woody)
Burberry Brit
Burberry London
Boss Selection
Diesel Fuel for Life
Juicy Couture Dirty English
Ralph Lauren Polo Blue
Givenchy Play
Lacoste Challenge
Versace man
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
Prada Amber Pour Homme
Yves Saint Laurent Lhomme
Christian Dior Fahrenheit
DKNY Men
Tom Ford by Tom Ford
212

I would go with Burberry Brit, but if you want to do something bolder, Dior Fahrenheit might be a good choice. Good luck, and above all, have fun!

Shave and put on PRADA AMBER

Brit is a good choice too. I wore it for my wedding.

I'm torn on this one. I would think you wouldn't be the only one wearing Code, AdG, Play, or Le Male if you wore any of them. I think I'll still choose Le Male anyway, along with L'homme or 212 (one of my personal favorites). I would also think La Nuit de L'homme would be a good choice if you had it.

I like Gucci Envy's subtlety on a formal event night. There are fine scents in your collection, and all that are already suggested on this thread will work well for sure. If I needed to pick for ME though, in your position I would go with Envy.

Tom Ford for Men smells classy and sophisticated, Prada Amber pour Homme would also go well with a suit.

Any one of these would be great:

Gucci Pour Homme
Gucci Pour Homme II
Gucci Envy

Ask what your date's wearing, so you compliment her.

Your suit/her dress and your boutonniere/her corsage are designed to match, so why not your fragrances?

I'd say L'homme, if you can get to a sephora and spray on some Nuit de l'homme you'd be even better off. Have fun!

good idea, maybe she should smell the different colognes and see what she likes best

From this list I'd go with Burberry London. A lot of the others are pretty common and may show up on the other guys. If you really want to be unique get hold of some Eau Sauvage, Van Cleef & Arpels or Aramis.

If all the young ladies who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, no one would be the least surprised.

Sorry, I've no recommendations from your list but I just had to quote Dorothy Parker.

Have Fun

Gucci Envy or Versace Man would probably be my choices out of the two. I'd probably wind up with the Versace Man if I had to choose.

proms get really sweaty so le male might turn gross on you, but thats just based on how your skin reacts with it. If you havent ever sweated with it, I wouldnt risk it.

for you, i like Armani code and YSL l'homme
