I'm 17 y/o guy looking for a winter cologne that I can wear during the day in a classroom setting. What do you recommend? I was thinking Burberry London.

Also is Versace Man Eau Fraiche and L'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake good for class during spring/summer?

I think Banana republic, republic of men would be good. It is youthful and fun

Burberry London seems to be well liked around here. Lalique's Encre Noire might be a good and easy to find choice too.

For warm weather, I'd avoid l'Eau d'Issey. It's very common and I, for one, really dislike it. Boss Bottled might be a good alternative, although I think it's also pretty common.

L'Instant de Guerlain extreme is a great skin scent.

Most people in my school dont wear cologne and the ones that do wear jake hollister, is l'Eau d'issey just as common? Just looking for a cologne the last long and projects.

That rules out london and the one I suggested.
You want something in the middle, you don't want to gas out the classroom with Le male.

Hmmm..... I would go with a non season specific cologne since you are in a temp controlled environment.

In high school, maybe something like Mugler cologne ( a summer frag) or Burberry touch.

Try Kenzo Power. It is delightful and easy to find.

Thanks for the suggestions. How about versace fraiche and L'Eau d'Issey? Are they too strong for a classroom?

Noble Vetiver is a good one. Woody and enveloping.
You'll be having your gender of choice cuddling up to you for warmth.
