Azzaro pour Homme is the best out of those choices, IMO... L'eau d'Issey and CK IN2U are both just "beasts."

Versace The Dreamer is a BEAST at projection and longevity. I sprayed 1 spray on my shirt, left it on my bed and left for a few minutes. When I went back into my room as soon as I stepped in I smelled The Dreamer very strongly. It lasts over 12 hours easily. Also it smells incredible and can be had for CHEAP.

If you had looked at his list at 5:50AM EST, you would have seen it - as posters 4 and 6 did also. But it looks as if the OP has since edited his list.

But thanks for your observation and concern.

From what I remember upon sampling, Versace Eau Fraiche had very poor longevity.

'80's powerhouse Drakkar Noir fits the bill imo.

Awesome! Folx act like this doesn't project and has poor longevity. I've never had problems with any of that with this fragrance!

Purely on the basis of longevity and sillage, I would say Azzaro pour Homme from the original list. From the edited list, The Dreamer.

9 thru 12 are beasts on me. 3 is most definitely NOT a beast on me tho, and I can't even smell it on my clothes after an hour or so. The sillage on it isn't the greatest either as it decreases rather quickly.

Azzaro pour Homme was really the only scent on your original list I could enthusiastically recommend in good conscience. It is pretty easily and inexpensively acquired, so you may want to look for another seller (online or retail).

A couple other inexpensive scents with strong projection and sillage that I love but are not on your list are Giorgio for Men and Bogart pour Homme. Good luck with your search, regardless.

That is exactly my thoughts also.
