I am deciding to buy 1 or 2 more fragrances this upcoming paycheck and I am having a hard time picking which one to get. Any help here would be great. Thanks.

Choices:

-Yves St.Laurent L'Homme
- Yves St.Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme
- Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
- A*Men Pure Malt
- Dior Homme Sport
- Dior Homme Intense

I would recommend La Nuit de L'Homme, which you generally can't go wrong with. It's not too expensive and I find it's usually better received than L'Homme. Test both before you make a decision though, because of course everybody has their own tastes and preferences.

I'd also strongly recommend Pure Malt, as it will soon be back for a presumably limited time from Mugler, which will be beneficial for you because it's been going for severely inflated prices through alternative vendors ever since it was made unavailable. Be sure you like A*Men first, though. It's usually a love-hate fragrance, and if you're on the hate half of that spectrum, Pure Malt is not for you.

Oh, also, welcome to Basenotes!

All good choices.

This is tough.

I would suggest you judge this by:
- What type of frags does your collection lack the most
- which has best longevity and projection

Thanks for the responses guys. If anything I'll probably buy 3 atmost.

I know I'm buying Chanel for work. But then the other 2 are toss ups. Probably will go with YSL but still have to try out A*Men PM since they are bringing it back for a short time.

Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme has a dominant Tonka Bean note that reminds me of L'Homme YSL. Only Chanel lasts longer and projects nicely.

A*Men Pure Malt is nice, but I like Pure Havane better.

Agreed, as long as you're not paying over retail.

Then get the L'Homme's later.
