Fragrance recommendation for college student?

Hey guys. I'm sort of getting bored of the fragrances I have currently, so I'm looking for a new one. What I am looking for is a good clean scent I can wear easily to class/work. I need something that just plain smells good, not too daring or cloying. Also something that is preferably a year round fragrance. I'm 23 years old, but I'm very young looking. Most people only think I'm 18 years old lol, so I don't really want a fragrance that smells too mature for my looks if that makes any sense. Thanks

What I am currently using:
Creed MI
Gucci by Gucci Sport
Polo Blue and Polo Black

What I've tried but didn't love:
Azzaro Chrome
Chanel Allure Homme Sport
Bulgari Aqua

I would try some vetiver, like Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Guerlain Vetiver, or $$$ Chanel Sycomore. Vetiver smells fresh, somewhat green and vegetal, and tends to be long lasting.

Will look into those. Thanks.

I've also been looking at Marc Jacobs for Men (http://www.basenotes.net/ID26122125.html). It's gotten some pretty good reviews on other sites as just plain smelling good. Can anyone confirm/deny? I tried to test it out a Macy's a few weeks ago but they didn't have any
