Hey Everyone,

As of Current I have:
Versace Pour Homme
Angel Men
Blue Sugar
Hanae Mori
Aqua di Gio
John Varvatos Signature
L'Homme by YSL
Love & Luck
Bleu de Chanel
Nautica Voyage
Kenneth Cole Black
Diesel Plus Plus

My favorite warm scent is Chanel Egoiste (the regular Egoiste, not Platinum Egoiste), a warm, soft sandalwood with touches of candied fruit.

If you are into sweet scents, I'd recommend Givenchy Play Intense. If you can find Eau des Baux by L'Occitane, make sure to sample it. It is a really nice, and not expensive.

Thank you all for the recommendations.

@Igorbg
I was just testing out fragrances that I really want, I know Edition Blanche is summer, but since it is hard to find in stores now I was about to buy it. I also tested out Chanel Allure and it smelled phenomenal. I'm going back this weekend or going to buy on an online discounter this week. I'm still deciding what I want to buy. Thank you though!

I would say maybe Egoiste, maybe Amen Pure Malt if you like Amen already. Also, maybe Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense.

I like Amen, I received a sample for TM of Pure Malt, it's alright I heard a lot of hype about it, but it doesn't seem nothing out of this world to me, just a less potent version of AMen,at least thats what I get.

I sampled the Pradas also, very good, but I like the PHI more for a fall/winter fragrance. What to do, what to do!

As the season is turning and cooler days are becoming more regular here in the South, I am really going through a change with Chanel Sycomore. The smokiness in the opening seems to belong in the Fall; then, as it subsides after about half-an-hour the woods and an elegant vetiver comes more forward with just a hint of the smoke in the background along with a very, very slight sweetness...WOW, such a refined masculine fragrance. The first time I wore it all I got was smoke and musk...I'm SO glad I allowed myself time with this one, I think it's going to be lovely throughout the Fall!

You might sample Parfumerie Generale's L'Ombre Fauvre or Chanel's Coromandel.
(Parfumerie Generale has some great scents that could suit your sweet tooth and they're not too expensive - most can be found on Luckyscent.)

I'd also recommend Slumberhouse's Sova and as a counterpoint, Rume.
Slumberhouse samples can be bought directly from Josh's website and Indiescents & Parfum1 have a variety of Slumberhouse fragrance sizes.

I think you'd find at least one of these an excellent Fall fragrance.
