My favorite from your list is Tuscan Leather. But to fulfill your request, I would go for Heritage.

Well I don't think Aramis blurs the line too much of what women should wear - it is very similar to Cabochard.

La Nuit de L'Homme is rather feminine to begin with IMO. Again, I don't think it is going to blur any lines.

So from your list I would go with Heritage. Have you considered Kouros though?

And to 'Man Up' on LNdL'H, go for the EdP rather than EdT.

I own a large decant of Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford and love it. It smells like real, not synthetic smelling leather. Very high quality. Downside is that it is hard to appreciate if you are not a fragrance lover. If you want to go safer, more mainstream, and cheaper, then go With YSl LNDLH. But in the end, I take Tuscan leather

My hunch is that you'd like Heritage the best, however i'll be very curious to hear what you end up with. Best of luck!

Heritage, but do yourself a favour and get both the EdT and the EdP. Yes, that's a bit of an outlay, but they both fit into a wardrobe nicely. I love them both. Petruccijc mentioned Kouros -- try Body Kouros, too. Instead of Aramis, I would go for Aramis 900, but that's my opinion.

Overall, though, the Heritage may fit your needs most of all. It is one of my top ten favourites and I think you will enjoy it quite a bit.

Hehe, I think petruccijc is obsessed with Kouros
Seriously though, go for one of the other three, La Nuit De L'Homme is nice but nothing special.

True, unless the autocrat is Marcus Aurelius but he was the last of the philosopher-kings and his son was an ass. Ok unlimited power in one person is very bad news.
I know I'm going out on a limb and alienating all of you who yearn to be Galactic Emperors, but someone had to say it!
(And I still maintain Darth Vader would wear Bulgari Black, but that's another story.)

Now moving on with the OP's fantasy and out of political reality, I'd say Heritage, though a light sprinkling of Aramis might turn some heads as well. But, honestly what about Blenheim Bouquet? Or Tuscany/Etruscan? or--never mind, the list is long and topheavy with 80's powerhouse frags.
