Year Round Date Night/Night out Scent?

Hey guys,
I'm looking to keep a small wardrobe. I currently have allure homme sport for an everyday/summer scent, Guccie pour homme II as another go to for work, and then I'm looking for something for date night and night out with my wife or wife and friends ending in a sensual night of course ;-). I would like this to be something I could wear year around that makes her go crazy.

My wife is very hard to please on scents. She is always very meh on most. Her favorite is chrome, even though I refuse to wear. Any recommendations?

oh. ps. I'm a young 25.

Rochas Man, Ungaro III. But both of them are totally different with Chrome.

For your and your wife's taste, i think Boss Baldessarini, Or something floral such as XS by Paco Rabanne, Dior Homme, Declaration by Cartier,...

As another side note, My old date night scent was narciso rodriguez for him. She very much enjoyed this; however, this was just headache inducing for me after a little while.

Right now I'm thinking La Nuit De L'Homme or Burberry Brit...thoughts?

My answer might come bit as off-topic, since I still have to get a final impression on La Nuit De L'Homme or Burberry Brit, however, given your requirements, I think that Burberry London for Men, Azzaro Visit and Solo by Loewe or even Solo Intense (in spite of the names of the latter two, they are both quite sensual) are extremely versatile during the entire year and also extremely alluring without smelling to common

I'll second Dior Homme. I've worn this year round for nights out and found it excellent every time. And the wife loves it.

I have tried dior homme and have been undecided on it. Not sure if I can get past the lipstick in purse smell...

YSL La nuit de l'homme also immediately came to mind for me.

Not really my suggestion or one I wear but one I've seen floated here alot....Armani Code

My personal opinion is something like Tom Ford..the original or Extreme.

Opium pour homme - preferably in the edp, although the edt is excellent.

going to have to say no to la nuit.. why is this so hard? I would say I have never had that go-to date/night scent. I was wearing narciso rodriguez, which I had a love hate relationship with. My wife really liked it. I on the other hand, liked the freshness and sensual smell but the sharp note would get me every time.
