Please recommend me a new cologne based on my current tastes

Based on my taste, what cologne would you recommend I get next?

Had:
Calvin Klein Euphoria - it was my first cologne, liked it, but in retrospect not that great
Nautica Oceans- same

Currently Using:
Gucci Pour Homme II - my favorite, love the tea note and sweet smell. calming
Dolce Gabanna Light Blue Pour Homme - too common smelling
Hugo Boss Bottled - One of my favorites, but can get too sweet smelling
Dolce Gabanna The One - my second favorite. like to wear it at night
Burberry Touch - not really my taste, wear it for the girlfriend its her favorite
Lacoste Blanc 12.12.12 - Like the opening notes but its too young and sporty
Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger- wear it for nostalgia. very average. dont wear it often

I like Green Irish Tweed and Aventus but as of right now i dont LOVE colognes enough to spend that kind of money

I am considering Pi by Givenchy, Only the Brave by Diesel, Rochas Man, and Michael Jordan by Michael Jordan

I also just bought Bvulgari Pour Homme, it hasnt got here yet.

I looked for the most well reviewed colognes on this site and thought that Egoiste was great. Terre hermes is okay. Dior homme i didnt like.

Bulgari PH should be good for when you want an understated reserved smell. Egoiste would be great when you wanted a heavier evening scent. I don't like the ones you are considering (though I don't know Michael Jprdan) and don't see any connection between the ones you have bought, owned and the ones you are considering.I guess you could make a case for you liking sweet gourmand scents, but I can't think of any that I really like,maybe Guerlain L'Instant Extreme is woth a try, with it's rich cocoa note.

If you think it's great, then Egoiste.

Of your list, Rochas Man.

Try Cartier Santos.

If you think Boss Bottled is too sweet, then I would definitely stay clear of Pi and Rochas Man, because they are extremely sweet.

If you like GPHII, then I would definitely suggest Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef and Arpels, as it is tea, sweet and powdery.

Prada Amber Pour Homme would also be a good one for you as it is a clean, soapy, class sophisticated fragrance.

I think that you would also enjoy Chanel Allure Homme Sport.

Burberry London for Men, YSL La Nuit de L'Homme (maybe also the EDP version), Baldessarini EDC by Hugo Boss, Gucci Guilty, most Dsquared scents, Ck One Sock for Men, Givenchy Very Irresistible for Men may be worth including on your test list before possible future purchases.
