Hi. For winter I would like to have a cologne or maybe two. Smell should be good of course but my number 1 priority is longevity/sillage/projection. So which of the following do you think have the best of that features?

1)YSL- Body Kouros
2)Versace- The dreamer
3)Christian Dior Homme Intense(this I think wouldn't be that versatile therefore if I buy this I will buy another too)
4)YSL- La Nuit De L'homme
5)L'instant de Guerlain
6)Lancome Hypnose
7)Michael Kors
8)CK Euphoria Intense

If you have another suggestion with good smell and projection, please let me know. Thanks.

You should try Burberry London. Not a huge powerhouse, but very pleasant cinnamon spicy scent.

Also YSL Rive Gauche has very good projection and longevity. Nice frag for dark clouds and cool breezes.

Thanks for responses. Actually I haven't smelled the colognes I have listed in original post.

Should I buy a*men if I have pure malt?

Burberry London is said to have very weak longevity and very close to skin if I I recall rightly.

Platinum Égoïste,Rive Gauche are the ones I will try also.

Other responses please

I think L'Instant de Guerlain PH would work very well for you given your priorities.

Please be sure to try Michael by Michael Kors before. It has good sillage/longevity but the scent is not for everyone.

I second this. That dried fruit note + boozy note made me sick.

From your list: YSL La Nuit
