I'm a 20 year old college student and I want something that is a compliment getter.
So far my collection has:
Cuba Gold
Animale Animale
Adidas Victory League

My budget is $10-30 and I'm deciding between the following:
Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin - really like this one but I have Animale Animale already.
Encre Noire - I've always been intriged by this
Vanille by Molinard - can't get enough of vanilla
Black Soul by Ted Lapidus - I've heard it described as "bubble gum", sounds very interesting

Encre Noire is tempting, but I doubt it is something you would want to wear every day.

I still recommend Cool Water. It's versatile, cheap, and one of the best compliment getters out there.

$30 isn't much, I would get good dup body oils, for $30 you could get like 6-7 different fragrances.

I dont know why folks look at oils as being cheap. the only thing lacking in oils is a fancy bottle and a big price tag

Few people seem to have read the original post. I recommend Au Masculin.

I would suggest Encre Noir. I keep it in my weekly rotation at all times. This really hot girl where I work loves it and always hangs around me when I have it on. Time to buy a backup bottle

Encre Noir if you prefer something fresher, Lempicka if you like something warmer and sweeter - perhaps with what you currently own I'd go for the freshness of Encre Noire.
