What is the perfect scent for a young, early 20's very high class, sophisticated, but still has swagger, suit and tie lawyer who is just becoming a big time lawyer, but like i said still in low to mid 20's. kind of like a young frank sinatra with the mix of sophistication and swagger

i know my explination is pretty strange, but what do u think is the best scent for this type of guy.

try for under $100 please

Get a 2.5ml Green Irish tweed by Creed from a discounter and you should be good.

Im sorry but you really cant go on about having mad swagger and being an up and coming legal ace and then worry about spending less than $100 ... thats like missing the point of swagger .....

Eitherway go buy Bleu De chanel

In your age group, Parfums De Nicolai's New York would be a great scent, and unlike what your peers are probably wearing.

1 oz Tabarome by Creed from the discounter who's link appears on this site from time to time. Three quarters of a Franklin brings it home and has a fair bit of that lawyeresque I'll-sue-til-I-abuse-your-children swagger to it, which you no doubt distance yourself wisely from. It's a very professional scent in my opinion that lasts long enough before the base notes completely take over.

Best to you and your search,
Daryl J.

I think Sinatra would have spelled out the whole word rather than just using 'u.'

Now, to answer the question.

Real answer: Invasion Barbare
Modified answer for situation at hand: Bleu de Chanel

Another vote for Parfums de Nicolai, but this time Pour Homme. I sampled this head-to-head with New York, and ended up buying 100ml of PH.

New York by PdN or Rive Gauche. Actually, you can buy both and the total would be just under $100

More than $100, but Creed BdP would be good, maybe too mature for someone in their 20s.

Or Colonia Assoluta, GIT (you can get 30ml for 40 quid online), L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme, Eau Sauvage, Rive Gauche....

Sinatra wore Agua Lavanda Puig (so do I) and it's a nice one. Also look at Eau Sauvage Dior, Antaeus Chanel, Pour Homme Van Cleef & Arpels, or Monsieur de Givenchy; all of these are well under $100 and have the old-school vibe of Frank.
