Signoricci 2 - by far the most formal of them all
Others:
Tiffany
Chanel pour Monsieur Concentree
Chanel Antaeus
Quartz Molyneaux
Habit Rouge
Heritage
Guerlain Vetiver
Lauder for Men
Chanel PM, followed, perhaps not surprisingly, by Tiffany PH. Chanel Antaeus is a good choice, but is a bit too over-the-top powerhouse for a formal event IMO. Depends on the event, though.
Patou PH would easily be my first choice, if only I owned a bottle of that mythical elixir, alas.

Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree
Maybe Sienna C&E for business formal
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each!" - Henry David Thoreau
I would probably say Epic, GIT, and Black Aoud. If I owned Sycomore, I might list that as well. I think I will call Channel today and pursade them to send me a sample![]()
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Acqua di Parma Intensa....others: New York, Pour Monsieur, Jubilation XXV, Egoiste, Equipage, Bel Ami

Esencia by Loewe if I want to play it cool & cerebral
Cuir de Russie by Creed if I want a little aggression![]()
Oh I have a whole bunch:
Guerlain Heritage - business suit or black tie
Salvador Dali pour Homme - black tie/tuxedo, it's so dark and mysterious but elegant as hell.
Blenheim Bouquet - so refined it almost screams blue blood.
Tiffany for Men - everything Chanel PM should be but isn't
3rd Man by Caron - elegance in a bottle
Cartier Santos Concentree - Never fails to draw compliments, feels out of place in jeans and a t-shirt
Black Walnut by Banana Republic - works well in formal attire
Equipage by Hermes - more posh than not.
Ungaro III
There are probably a few others but I can't be bothered to go upstairs to my cupboards to check!

In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
I fling poo in the face of formality but on those rare occasions where I have to act like a grown up , its Pour Monsieur every time
