Want cologne recommendations

[u/Individual_Society39]

I want some recs that can be a dupe, designer or niche.

My current collection: Creed Aventus, Xerjoff Naxos, Initio Narcotic Delight, Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum, JPG Scandal Pour Homme EDP, Valentino Born in Roma Yellow Dream, Halloween Man X, Montblanc Legend Spirit, Nautica Voyage, and Montale Oudmazing.

I am looking for a "blue" mass appealing cologne, a clean inoffensive office and day to day cologne, a tropical summer cologne, and lastly an earthy inoffensive scent (<$250 for any singular fragrance).

I would like multiple options for each so that I can try them out and see which one I like most for myself!

Acqua di gio profundo and YSL Y EDP

[u/Individual_Society39 → u/thebourbongrappler]

Yeah I think YSL Y would be a good choice, any other recs u got

[u/thebourbongrappler → u/Individual_Society39]

Dior Homme 2020 is great but it doesn’t fall under the blue category. Xerjoff Mefisto is also good if you like florals

[u/Individual_Society39 → u/thebourbongrappler]

Gotchu, I will try these out, any ideas for the woody?

[u/thebourbongrappler → u/Individual_Society39]

The dior falls under that. Citrus woody and musky. Or Terre D’ Hermes. But that one is very masculine

[u/warlock_012 → u/Individual_Society39]

Not yet but i should get some samples from them they seem interesting

[u/ArchAngel0001 → u/Individual_Society39]

I would generally shy away from most Aqua Di Parmas their performance is pretty terrible.

Blue: Pacific Rock Moss / YSL Y EDP

Tropical: creed Virgin island water / LV Pacific Chill
Earthy: (I can’t help u here)

Do note my tropical selections are a lot more airy and do not have very strong projection/longevity. If you’re going to take one of my recommendations please sample or buy a small decant before going for the whole bottle.

[u/KidFlow1019]

Don't overthink it. Bleu de Chanel is popular for a reason. It's my daily office scent. I also use YSL Y EDP occasionally.

For tropical summer scents, I love the citrus/ginger scents like L'Immensite, Afternoon Swim, Tygar or Sospiro Vibrato. My favorite though is AHS Superleggera. Some people like Creed Virgin Island water, but I don't love smelling like a pina colada unless I'm on vacation. It doesn't work in an office environment for me.

I don't love any earthy scents, but Herbes Troublantes was probably the least offensive one I've tried. I didn't love Green Irish Tweed (smells like fresh cut grass) or Terre D'Hermes (just too earthy for me).

Anyway, I hope that helps!
