Hi, i am living in Melbourne Australia and the weather is constantly changing !
I only own one cologne and that is Davidoff's Cool Water which i think doesnt project as well as i wanted it to.
I guess i am in need of another cologne, preferably something that projects like a MOTHER*&%$!
This cologne will need to appeal to teenage girls and i will be wearing this out to shopping centres, to school, dates and what not !
So it has to have great longevity !
I cannot order online so therefore the cologne must be accessible from these two stores:
http://www.mybeautyspot.com.au/category.aspx?ID=600
http://perfumeconnection.com.au/
If you are lazy and dont want to read all that ^
I am in need of a TEENAGE cologne with BEAST projectivity and equally BEAST longevity and something that will get me IN with teenage girls
i also have Davidoff's Cool Water so it will be used alternatively with that!

Out of your list maybe bulgari aqua since its probably the one with the best longetivity and projection. If you are interested in projection and longetivity and a good scent I would probably look into chanel bleu or allure homme sport with are a bit more versatile. Also, since you mention you will be wearing it for teenage girls, Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce seems like a good option too.

Jealous! If I were you I'd be at the Australian Open as I type!

But I voted for Bvlgari Aqva, Black XS, and FFL.

God, so do I!

Have you considered Vintage Tabarome by Creed or Penhaligon's English Fern?

-Gets 'em every time.

However, if your stores are temporarily out of them right now, I suggest you post the question over at The Female Discussion Forum---There's a lot of cool old ladies (25yrs old+) there, who enjoy reliving their wild youth by giving friendly advice about this.

Or get Bulgari Black---

Cheers,

Mario

I reiterate with B. Black.

Also since you are relatively young its a great opportunity to accustomize your nose and sense of smell towards non-aquatic perfumes. This way a decade from now you won't suddenly be bored or unimpressed with aquatics and then have an olfactory issue accepting complex or different genre perfumes.

•Sweet but not overly: Fuel For Life, Bvlgari Black, Polo Double Black; better sillage of these: Double Black.Great options IMO.
•Overly sweet, synthetic but attract girls: Black XS;
•Fresh, good, but nothing original (what's no problem for me in Aqva's case): Bvlgari Aqva.
•Fresh, but cloying to me: Versace Fraîche (D&G Light Blue woman twin brother); sillage so-so.

Gucci pour homme 2, girls will love it its classy and is a really pleasant smell but the projection on it isnt that great so maybe diesel FFL would be a better option.

Really good advice. The aquatics are dominating the department store counters these days, but there are lots of other options available which you'll be well served to check out.

Pick a pretty girl who's opinion you respect and bring her to the store with you. She will like that- trust me, I have two teenagers in my house.
If you don't want to do that, my son (and the girls) loves Double Black and it lasts all day on him.

Have we been neglecting questions at the "Just Starting Out" forum?

Ah well, God knows we do need more polls . . .

Besides I flunked out of kindergarten when I over sprayed 4711 and the teacher had a conniption.

Save your pennies and get Himalaya.

Cheers,

Mario

Black XS has a better option to me: Azzaro Twin Man, much more balanced;
Roadster to me worths a try, but maybe is not what you're looking for cause it's a little mature;
Dreamer, Double Black, Body Kouros, Fuel for Life, Bvlgari Black, Magnetism, all a bit sweet; the strongest of these: Dreamer;
A good fresh one (not very original): Aqva;
I dislike: Tommy, Versace Fraîche and Sentiment, all them nauseating to me.

diesel fuel for life is a very good option, fruity-sweet;
bvlgari aqva is pretty ok, though should be used mostly in warmer weather.
Another option that is pretty good but not in that list would be Joop! Jump.

play intense/1 mil for winter, polo black/gucci pour homme II for spring and fall, and chanel allure home sport for summer. Thats the rotation my lil bro is on now. Definitely a good way to start.
