Looking for a New Fall Fragrance SImiliar to "Penguin"...Any Help Appreciated thanks!

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hey all. I am very new to fragrances despite being in my mid 20's. My tastes have shifted though, from fresh sporty scents to more musky, slightly sweet scents. I like orientals and I also like woodsy smells.

Anyhow, my girlfriend and I went shopping for a cologne in fall of 2011, and she LOVED Original Penguin. I also loved it and I am looking for something similiar. I am afraid I might end up buying the same scent but Id like to build up a few scents. 1 million is NOT for me, it is just TOO sweet. Le male is ok, but it is a bit too feminine and too popular for my liking. Any help is appreciated thanks so much!!!

I am an Original Penguin man myself. Musky ambery woods are what you are looking for, eh?
Try some of these:
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (niche $) -tobacco with dark vanilla (do NOT think le male)
Burberry London-BN favorite, spices, tobacco and wood
Frapin Speakeasy (niche)-rum and wood
Gucci Pour Homme II-wood, spices, and vanilla
YSL L'Nuit de L'Homme-sweet but not quite cloying
Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense-amber and musk
John Varvatos Vintage-boozy wood

That should get you started

L'Occitane Eau des Baux is perfect for you.

Boss Bottled would be a good sniff as well.
