Depends on your budget
what scents do you tend to go for smells you prefer
Using it for daily wear? special occasions ? Scent for a particular season?
So many factors to consider.
Myself
Daily wear at the moment D&G homme
Special occasion Tauer Lair Du Dessrt Moracain
When its a bit warmer
Daily wear will be Versace Dylan Blue
Special Occasion.. millesme inmperial

Hi OP, unfortunately recommending a scent is not like recommending a Plumber. Only you can personally determine which scent you will like and what will be suitable.
If someone you know wears a particular cologne and you happen to like it, it may potentially smell different on you because of the differing characteristics of you pulse points, skin temperature variations, body heat, natural pheromones and perspiration. Therefore suggested recommendations don't always follow through, regrettably.
Go to a store, try smelling some and applying two or three in different places (but no more in one visit). What you're smelling are just the Top Notes. You can only smell two or three in one go before your 'nose' gives up. So it means frequent visits to the store.
The Base Notes are the ones that come through once you get home after having tried a few in store. That's why it's not advisable to buy something there and then because the underlying scent will come through much later and you may dislike it. Also consider Longevity... some scents / colognes / perfumes require frequent application during the day because of their strength and potency. |

I share some of my Tom Ford collection with Dan, the following smells amazing on him
Tabacco Vanille
Santal Blush
Lost Cherry & Mandarin Amalfi
Def visit a store & spray on your skin, only test max of three at any time or you will go noseblind |

It's a difficult one as fragrances smell different on different people.
I love the smell of Issey Miyake on it's own but it smells weird on my Husband, whereas Hugo Boss (which I don't usually like) smells incredible on him.
Lacoste Touch Of Pink which always smelled disgustingly sweet on other people smells musty and floral on me.  |

It's worth picking two, getting a tester on each wrist and then going away for an hour or so and coming back.
It has helped me save money on fragrances that I liked at first smell and then hated once they had absorbed into my skin. x |

"Halfeti - Penhaligon's.
That aside, Nero's advice is brilliant and well worth listening  to."

Pay no heed to this one. Halfeti is nauseating and cloying.
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet, however, is timeless and classic. |

I only buy cologne, and bought some Issey Miyake, very over rated and very mild and does not last very long. I use Givenchy, that smells great and and lasts well, also old favourites like Sauvage, and Obsession and Aramis. All a fair price and mostly last very very well.I don't do aftershave at all. |

Creed - Green Irish T
A tad expensive but I cannot recommend it enough
A fresh smelling scent of cedarwood and sandalwood and freshly cut grass... With hints of lemon and lavender
Longevity is amazing... A 50ml bottle will last you a while |

You been raking in my bathroom again?
Blenheim Bouquet - everyday aftershave - and a selection of Creed/Hermès/Givenchy/Guerlain as the occasion dictates - Classy as Fk I am!! |
