Hi all,

I'm a 22 year old professional looking for a signature scent, mostly for evening/night. I've tried the following:

Green Irish Tweed
Himalaya
Bois du Portugal
Terre D'Hermes
Bvlgari Black

GIT is by far my favorite of these. I love the smell of leather, so I've been looking into Spanish Leather by Trumper and Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford. But I'm open to any kinds of suggestions.

I don't like vanilla scents though.

Please give a description of the scent. It'll save me lots of googling time :)


Thanks!

High Karate.

Just joking, I myself rarely wear cologne, generally just aftershave and I leave it that.

Thanks!
Evening? Armani (the original one)

Day? something light like Pino Sylvestri or Canoe

My personal favorite is Creed Aventus. I have tried Tuscan leather before, and it is pretty damn strong and pungent, not really my liking. I'm more of a citrus/fresh scent kinda guy, which seems rather similar given the cologne choices that you had.
