I'd get Platinum Egoiste.

It REALLY projects, so no more than 2 sprays.

Platinum Egoiste projects very well and lasts 10+ hours on me.

P.E.
Got to smell it last week. It smells similar to Fierce, but less synthetic and a lot cleaner.

Depends on your personality. If you were 18, I'd say Legend, no question. Despite the prevailing opinion here, I think PE has some mature notes that would be difficult for someone young to pull off. PE is a superior scent, but Legend is the safer buy and definitely best for the younger crowd. You will have to try both for yourself and see which suits your personality better.

I thought the same thing about PE when I first sprayed it (just a quick "about me": 20 y.o college student. Style: Semi-prep/semi-formal for the most part).
To me, P.E. was strong enough to be noticed but subtle enough to wear around class and out with friends. I didn't really get an overpowering mature vibe out of it to be honest. I'll need to try legend, though.

I agree with this.

I also agree with what 2ndBakeryAttack said. Personally, I much prefer Platinum Egoiste - but I'm 27.

If I was 18, it'd have easily been Legend. For yourself at 21, I'm not sure...

I haven't tried Legend, but i bought PE a few days ago and love it, I'm also 21 and dress super casual, like jeans and t shirt casual... I've seen lots of people say it smells very formal or mature, but i just dont get that at all. Seems extremely versatile to my untrained nose.

edit, it definitely could be a formal scent, but casual just as easy. imo.
