To all your experts out there, I'm looking for a couple of colognes to mostly wear to work (with occasional social situations) that's mature , confident and subtle.  I don't like anything that smells of tobacco, and my budget is $120 for a 100ml EDT.

I've been reading this and other threads, and here are the ones I'm considering.
- CHANEL POUR MONSIEUR

- CHANEL ANTAEUS POUR HOMME

- ROCABAR HERMES Men

 
Not sure which one will be work appropriate.

Thanks.

But what I'm going to do is just give a list of fragrances that have gotten lots of positive attention, both here and in other parts of the online fragrance community. (My list focuses on relatively recent stuff. I have no doubt that I will forget some that I should have included.)
L'Air du Desert Marocain--Tauer
Noir de Noir--Tom Ford
Portrait of a Lady--Frederic Malle
Invasion Barbare--MDCI
Tobacco Vanille--Tom Ford
L'Homme Sage--Divine
A*Men Pure Malt--Thierry Mugler
A*Men Pure Havane--Thierry Mugler
Terre d'Hermes--Hermes
Puredistance M
Dzing!--L'Artisan Parfumeur
Al Oudh--L'Artisan Parfumeur
Rose 31--Le Labo
Oud 27--Le Labo
Aventus--Creed
Sycomore--Chanel
Bois des Iles--Chanel
Coromandel--Chanel
Muscs Koublai Khan--Serge Lutens
Chergui--Serge Lutens
34 Boulevard Saint Germain--Diptyque
Hope that's helpful.
For me, pre-shower is Ambre Mirabilis by Keiko Mecheri. (On the whole, I found her Bespoke Series disappointing, but this is one of the better ones. I like the scents from her regular line more.)

Not yet, that will be my next question, where can I find any of these in store?  There is a Neiman Marcus nearby, so I'm thinking of going over to try what they have this weekend.  Any other physical stores you recommend?

Thanks.
