well ill give it a shot.

Signature scent
-La Nuit de L'Homme

Work Scent
-Dont really have one

Night out Scent
-La Nuit de L'homme
-Armani Code

Close Quarters
-La Nuit de L'homme
-Burberry Brit
-Givenchy Pi

Formal Event
-L'Instant De Guerlain
-Burberry Brit

Most daring Scent
-B*Men

i know all in all they are not alot of different fragrances between the different situations, but La Nuit, Brit, L'Instant, and Armani Code are the scents that work best for me and get complimented the most

p.s. when i just started getting into fragrances, the first one i got was Givenchy Pi becasue i thought it was amazing and i thought there was no way a smell can be more sexy and alluring..man have things changed. i used to worship this scent. now, idk. its not THAT great or even that good to me anymore.

malt will be re released so you will see it soon, rose 31 is like a cheaper version of windsor, still good but a bit more masculine, still too feminine for my taste.

If it's very warm or I'm not going to have time to really appreciate the frag, then I won't wear some. The original Perry Ellis for men is good for when I'll be busy with other things and it's not too hot. If it's hot, frags like M; Men, Jack Black Silver Mark, Green Jeans, or Adidas Sport Field will be considered. Otherwise, I try to wear my favorites most, and they are The Knize Ten, Acteur, Tobacco Vanille, Tiffany for Men, etc. Others won't get worn quite as much but will usually get at least one each month.

Rose 31 and Windsor!? Are you sure either of those two samples weren't off? As far as being masculine, Rose 31 is one of the most masculine fragrances I've ever tried.

i could do this a little better now that my wardrobe is settling down a bit

1. Signature Scent- Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male
I just love it. period. nothing else has gotten me more compliments then this(though if i owned pure malt longer it prolly would). but le male is truely my signature scent and the fragrance that just works best with me
2. Work Scent- I currently dont have a job(student) i would rotate between L'Homme, L'eau D'issey, and Acqua Di Gio. All three would be non-offensive in a work environment, appealing scents that are easy to wear in my opinion.
3. Night Out Scent- A*Men Pure Malt OR Le Male. I can work with both. Both have tremendous projection and longevity, both are loved by the ladies
4. Close Quarter Scent- Im going to have to go with A*Men Pure Malt again. Le Male, i love you. your my siganture scent. nothing can rip us apart now. but if im REALLLY trying to get my girl excited, theres no doubt in my mind that Pure Malt is what im going with
5. Sophisticated, Suit and Tie Scent- Whenever im in very formal attire, im wearing Burberry's Brit. Women LOVE it, its a very classy scent without being to daring or to strong or to mature. I love Brit.
6. Most Daring Scent- Thierry Mugler's B*Men. This is the only fragrance in my wardrobe that makes me scared to put on. just because of the very strong spice in it. i once wore it and my friend said that i smelled like bug spray.

they were not,rose 31 is more masculine but rose itself is still feminine to me, i wish they could add more wood and other masucline elements in it.
