There is no one-size-fits-all perfume. It really depends. You should go and try to find _yours_, which will suit you and which you’d like. The one you’d like to stick to at least for a while and get used to. If you’re trying to find a gift - never _ever_ pick a parfumerie unless you were given specific requests. If it’s for your own usage - go out and just try. What would smell amazing for one person might be horrible for another.
Also, it may depend on weather (and geography). Those used during winter might differ quite a bit from those used during slightly warmer times and locations.
Just don’t be that armani aqua blue guy and you’ll be fine.
Consider YSL or Givenchy – they are not too overused, relatively fresh and reasonably conservative (in a good way) to have a broader range of possible “fit profiles”. Especially YSL.
Le Labo, Santal, Byredo and Malin + Goetz are a really nice and generally can be light for new wearers. Also can definitely wear them all day. Deodorant is often too aggressive

Cologne
"Cologne" indicates only the fragrance (perfume oil) concentration.
Labeling fragrances as masculine or feminine is an artificial marketing concept. Similarly to the idea that fragrances should be applied on skin - it's actually not recommended to apply fragrances on skin due to potentially harmful chemicals.

You have to go to Sephora or a department store and smell various scents. No way around it. You might like citrusy, woody, spicy, fresh, etc etc scents. There are so many varieties. Is this for you or a gift? If for you, you also have to try it on yourself because often enough, something will smell one way while in a bottle and another way on you after a minute, after an hour, after 3 hours. You can ask for samples at the department store.
Gotten compliments on Sauvage, Wanted by Night, Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. Rest of my collection? Zilch.
Love Sauvage. I got that for my BF and he likes it too
Usually one of the CK brands. But rule of thumb is deo/ body spray for day wear, perfume is evening wear only. Amirite?
I honestly didn’t know this. I only ever used spray for all occasions. Lol! I learn something new everyday. Thanks D2! 😊
My boyfriend uses Tom Ford Oud Wood and it’s sex in a bottle lol. Love that on him

My go-tos for this time of year are Burberry London, John Varvatos Artisan, or Brooks Brothers Classic.
Also, why is this in the confession bowl?
Working in style might be a better place to ask

Cuz I am not included in that bowl and I didn’t know there was “that” bowl. By the looks of it people in that bowl are not as responsive as those that are in here so I think I asked the right group. Chill bruv!
Since this is a confession bowl here’s my confession - i never bought my own cologne. Since time immemorial i’ve only worn what people gave me as a gift. Happy now A2?

You should figure out the type of fragrance profile(s) you’re fond of. Here’s a chart that can provide some insight.
Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady.
Armani

Burberry Touch smells good, YSL (any of them), Chanel Blue, Sauvage is nice and so is Le Labo.
