I have nothing to wear. Suggest three

Hi.

I have a fair collection of frags, but it seems that I dislike most of them/don't have the confidence to wear them/it's the wrong season for them. The only ones I wear on a regular basis are Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta, Green Irish Tweed, and Gucci Rush. All pretty safe bets. Dior Homme I used to love, but the smell now reminds me of being horribly ill and throwing up (long story). Bois du Portugal and Azzaro pH I feel are too 'old' for me (I'm 18).

Anyway, could you try and suggest 3 failsafe but not too generic fragrances for me to add to my collection? (Preferably winter ones). Thanks!

Thanks. Code isn't my cup of tea but Rochas Man is nice. I haven't actually tried L'Homme but I've heard good things. I'm thinking of getting M7.

I'm not sure just what is in your collection, but:

CdG Sequoia - warm, light woods
Caron l'Anarchiste - orange and cedar
Old Spice - apples and spice / English Leather - warm, light leather.

I'll suggest two that I wouldn't be without, and I've got about 30 bottles sitting here to choose from.

1. Versace Pour Homme - I wear this pretty much everyday. It's not so weak that it disappears completely/quickly, but not so loud that you've got worry or be self conscious about what you're wearing.

2. Versace Man Eau Fraiche - Newer than #1, and in my mind strictly for dance clubbing. Chicks love this scent. Definitely more energizing than mysterious, it's still got some sex appeal.

As a note, I had not that long ago dismissed both these fragrances just sampling them in the store. It wasn't until I got take home samples of both and got to wear them both around and witness the drydown/longevitiy of each that I was just like - wow ,these are both winners.

3. A*Men Pure Malt - Awesome. However, see my other recent post on my experience going out and buying the new re-released version.

3a. Dolce & Gabana The One Men - My goto first date fragrance. Again like Versace Pour Homme it's got some real character to it, and the sillage isn't destructive bowl-you-over. Until I got Pure Malt this was my typical date night bar/restaurant fragrance.
