Recommend something alluringly sexy with a strong projection..

I've recently been buying loads of samples of fragrances and have worked my way through about 20, but havn't found what i'm after.

I thought my making this post you would at least be able to point me in the right direction at fragrances I should look at.

I have compiled a list in my signature of fragrances I think would fit my requirements. I'm after something alluring, sexy, seductive and with a strong projection. I don't like light fragraces.

From what I have read, Body Kouros sounds perfect for me to try next. Currently my favourite fragrance is probably JPG- le male, and i've heard Body Kouros is similar to some extent? Alternatively, should I have a look at Le Male Terrible? Or prehaps another from my signature I have not yet tried, or something completely different if anyone would like to recommend?

Body Kouros, Lolita Lempicka au Masculin, Musc Ravageur...

Abercrombie Fierce, while overplayed and no longer a novelty here in the US is loved by many younger women. You can get it at the Abercrombie and Fitch store in London.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into those, defiantely want to try Body Kouros- it seems very highly rated.

I actually already own Abercrombie Fierce! I like it, but don't love it. I'd say it was more fresh than an alluring, sexy fragrance- I tend to wear it during the day.

THanks for the responses guys, just managed to buy some samples of 1 x Dior- Fahrenheit, EDT 1ml spray,

2 x Dior- Fahrenheit absolute, EDT Intense on ebay at a good price so will be testing these out! Couldn't find any samples of Body Kouros around! I'll go into a department store to try this one at the weekend- i presume somewhere like Debenhams or boots would have a fragrance like Body Kouros?

Wow, three votes for Musc Ravageur- I just have to try this scent now! It seems very hard to get though? Also I have wanted to try Tobacco Vanille for a while too..

I have just ordered another few samples on ebay for a few pounds (£3). They are all from Paco Rabanne:

1 MILLION

PACO RABANNE (THE FIRST FRAGRANCE)

ULTRAVIOLET MAN

BLACK XS

Hopefully I should like a few of those. I don't mind throwing £50 or so at buying small 1-2ml tester samples, as I enjoy having the freedom to try them all in my own time =D
