Looking for a Fall/Winter Fragrance

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this and I'm looking to buy my first fall/winter fragrance. I've watched a couple of reviews and these seem to be some of the more popular ones that are on peoples' top 10s. After I get some suggestions on these I will probably go to the store and try some of these on to see how it fares on my skin.

- Burberry London
- Angel Men by Theirry Mugler
- L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake
- Le Male by JPG

Fragrances don't really project as well on my skin so I'm definitely looking for one that projects well but isn't too offensive. I want the ladies to notice but at the same time I don't want everyone to turn their heads at me when I walk in the room. Thanks!

I'd say you can eliminate L'Eau d'Issey as a fall/winter fragrance...I mean, you CAN wear it, sure--but an aquatic is generally going to be too transparent and fleeting in the dense, cold air.

Burberry London would be a great choice here.

Shortlived maybe but Burberry London smells very good indeed. The opposite is true for A*men, at least for me.

My vote goes to Le Male. Also, if you find that you like powdery type scents such as Le Male in the winter, I would also recommend trying YSL Body Kouros, Burberry Brit (which I like much more than London), 212 Sexy Men, Armani Code, and Dior Homme. Also, if you are open to florals, I like Fahrenheit 32 in cold weather as well.

Ok thanks guys, I have narrowed it down to Burberry London and Le Male..where do you guys normally buy your colognes? I want to buy it online but also don't want to get ripped off with a fake one or spend a fortune.

Would you guys recommend getting it on eBay? Because I found one on eBay that is like $10-$12 cheaper and 99% ratings.

It's probably OK, but many have been burned by the eBay route. Many fakes out there.

If you found LeMale on ebay for $10-$12 I wouldn't buy it. That sounds too cheap to be true and there is some good LeMale fakes out there. Go to Fragrancenet.com there Creeds can be hit or miss but designer stuff is safe and its a legit site. Or you could always find someone in the Marketplace selling it, just make sure they have lots of positive feedback or have feedback from someone who has a good reputation on the site.
