Hello my fellow frag freaks. I am going away for the holidays for about 1 month, and I am having some trouble deciding what to bring!

I want:

1 for casual daytime wear
1 for casual nighttime wear
1 for special occasion/date/night out frag

If you could keep it to just one for those three occasions, I'd really appreciate it, because I dont want to bring more than three!

The ones from my wardrobe I'd consider bringing are:
Le Male
Midnight in Paris EDT
Angel Men
Angel Men Pure Malt
Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'homme
Yves Saint Larent L'homme
Dior Homme
Dior Homme Intense
Dior Homme Sport
Creed Green Irish Tweed
Creed Aventus
Chanel Allure Homme
Chanel Allure Homme Sport
Chanel Platinum Egoiste
Armani Acqua Di Gio
Armani Code
Burberry Touch
Burberry London
Burberry Brit
Rochas Man
Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb
Prada Amber Pour Homme
Musc Ravageur
Gucci Pour Homme 2
D&G The One
Cartier Roadster

Thanks a bunch everyone!

One month! I'm jealous.

What kind of climate are we talking about here (going somewhere to escape the winter, or will it be a white Xmas, etc.)?

I don't envy you. That is the worst thing about going away......deciding on what scent to bring.
I have tried to limit myself to 2 or 3 fragrances, but end up putting half a dozen in my bag.

Burb London
Gucci PH II
Dior Homme Intense
Allure Homme Sport

Sorry, I couldn't even narrow your list down to 3.

instead of taking only a few bottles, why don't you just decant them in to a travel atomiser, then you'll have more varieties to choose from while you're away

I'll do 2 per category, but will put my favorite in parenthesis

Casual Day Time - DHS, GPH II (GPHII)
Casual Night - La Nuit, Le Male (La Nuit)
Special Occasion/dates/night out - Pure Malt, Code (Code, just because it's more universally appealing)

Hey all! Just an update. I found out that one of my Christmas presents from my girlfriend will be... Le Male! So that will be my nighttime casual scent.

For daytime I have decided to bring Chanel Allure Homme Sport, and for Special Occasions/Dinner/Dates, I am bringing the one and only Dior Homme Intense! My other strong candidates for nighttime special occasions were La Nuit and Pure Malt, but one of my cousins wears La Nuit and the other wears Pure Malt(we are a good smelling family!)
