OK here is what i have..

TF Oud Wood
L'Occitane Eau Des Baux
TF for Men
TF Black Orchid
Bond No 9 Chez Bond
Valentino V
Lacoste Essential
Montale Blue Amber
Ysl La Nauit
Dolce n Gabbana Pour Homme
Prada Amber Pour Homme
Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey


Give me three recommendations. It seems like I have enough night/winter frags but cannot find great day/summer frags. Please no Creeds...Ive given up on them. I want a versatile all year round frag with great sillage and great longevity. A SIGNATURE SCENT is what i need. So give me your top three recommendations.
Better yet if you can give me 3 Niche and 3 Designer that would be great....

Ooh, you've already got some good ones! Here are three I'd recommend:

- Gucci Pour Homme II. This is an amazing scent that can be worn all year long even though it might not seem like it on first sniff. Also, it's one of the best designer scents I've ever smelled and it gets compliments. I also get excellent longevity.

- Aqua Fahrenheit. Bold. And, thank god, not just another dime a dozen aqua scent.

- Bleecker Street by Bond no 9. I wish the drydown on this worked on my skin because this one is a special scent.

- Also... I know you said no Creeds, but you can get in on an Aventus split pretty cheaply, and it's an amazingly versatile scent. It's the only Creed I own, so I'm no fanboy. Bleecker Street, though quite a different scent, has a similar vibe.
