Social Best Fancy Cologne?

I the 80s it was Drakkar Noir. Then Eternity. Next was Cool Water. The problem was some groups of people decided spraying cologne was better and easier than showering. So those scents mixed with BO became known as a "Fill in the blank shower".

These days I like Dove Soap and a nice shampoo. If it is a real special night out, a small spray of Burberry gets the panties dropped. By the way, if I am across the room and can smell your cologne, you either put way too much on, or it is too strong a smell and cheap.

1997 called and wants its cologne back…
 
I sampled some YSL on my wrist today and by the time I got home it smelled like cat piss. I don't mean that as an insult, I mean it smelled like literal actual cat piss.

I don't usually wear cologne, but if anyone had a suggestion for a sandalwood cologne, I'd really appreciate it. Fuck any other scents. I wanna smell like a goddamn shoe tree

I've used that for a few years. I also have the Chanel Platinum Egoiste which I have used for like 15 years after my Aunt bought me a bottle for Christmas. My gf really likes that Bleu de Chanel, buts it's woody and a bit citrus in the profile. Both smell great and have generated random complements over the years.
 
I'm considering cologne for the first time ever.

Usually it's this for me:

Jk, nvr use it.
Fougere. Barbershop scents. The opposite of fancy. Pine, plant, wood, leather.

Sauvage, Pierre Cardin, Lagerfeld, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Stetson, Boss Hugo Boss, Azzaro Pour Homme, Tuscany Per Uomo.

One of my favorite manly scents is a very cheap Giorgio Beverly Hills Red.
 
I have tom ford noir extreme parfum. I like this one alot. Ladies like it. My kids think its good . Also have creed Aventus. Again the women like. My 16 year old boy said I might as well have gotten axe body spray

Also got the classic cool water in my car.
 
I read this smells similar to cool water. I like cool water and was thinking of picking it up. What say you
If you don’t have a spot local to you where you can sample it like Sephora, you could always go on fragrance x dot com and pick up a small sample tester for like $10 to be sure before you spend $250.

Santal de Mysore by Lutens and Original Santal by Creed.
 
In my experience I have found that the high end and niche frags just aren't worth the price
Some of them smell great but under perform no longevity and weak sillage after 2-3 hours not paying 3 bills for a cologne that won't last all day

Having said that there are some that I find might be worth buying a bottle of and for me those are Creed Aventus and Creed Absolu Aventus I own both
