Which formal fragrance should I pick?

Thread Starter 
I'm a bit of a newbie and own a few fragrances.
I've narrowed down to 5 fragrances I desire, not sure which to choose.
Out of these fragrances I would like a "luxurious" fragrance or a fragrance you could wear with a siot.
The 5 frags are:
1. Paco Rabanne's one million.
2. Armani Code.
3. Egoiste
4. Fahrenheit
5. Terre D'Hermes
thanks.

Only Egoiste fits the bill of what you are looking for.

For luxury and elegance then Egoiste but for a great everyday all rounder then Fahrenheit.

Hello inspiration, I can only confirm what the others said and would suggest Égoïste. Since you already seem to own Fahrenheit I'd like to add that I think of Terre d'Hermès as a daily companion, even more so in the version Pure Parfum which is of a thicker texture than the EdT and oozes class. Judging from what you already have in your wardrobe I think it would be redundant to buy Armani Black Code and 1 Million - the latter because it has a popularity these days that might make you a "Man of the Crowd", (though not exactly in the sense of E.A. Poe). Of course, Égoïste has sweetness, too - but in a refined way and, to my nose, completely unlike current sugarbombs.

True. I am not a fan, but the others just don't fit, IMO.

I don't usually choose a SOTD based on wardrobe, but Egoiste or Terre D'Hermes should both work and possibly Fahrenheit.
