Hard agree - there are a couple of people doing cooler stuff with fleece though. This piece from Eastlogue is quite funky:
You gotta spoiler that stuff

You should sample colognes before buying. Shops like Sephora let you get little test samples so you can try them out and see how it reacts to your skin.What cologne are guys here wearing? I don’t wear anything regularly but really considering just picking up a bottle of Creed to wear when going out.
And I take it for something like Creed I best go direct rather than Walmart?
looking for a scent that most people would find inoffensive. I have a bottle of vetyver in the office but I got some complaints before.

Creed’s claim to be being purveyors of perfume to various royal and imperial houses of Europe is dodgy: their use of the Three Feathers device (wisely minus the “Ich Dien” motto) on all their fugly packaging suggests they have a Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales, which to our knowledge is not and has never been the case. One is inclined to take with a pinch of salt the long list of deceased emperors and empresses that they allegedly helped smell better. Ditto the supposed trouble to which they go to obtain rare essences and extracts: slow, expensive, and low-yield things like tinctures, which would make even Guerlain blanch. Creed’s perfumes make abundant use of synthetic materials (see Green Irish Tweed) and are only slightly above average in use of naturals. Now to Millésime Imperial: millésime in French is a pompous word for “year,” used by winemakers instead of année. I’m not sure what Creed means by it, but it sounds good. The fragrance is a mini Green Irish Tweed with more citrus – utterly unremarkable.

Yeah if your coworkers are already making a fuss about your cologne, it could be safer to just not wear any at work.
Coworkers can be assholes, but that very well could’ve been a justifiable complaint. Some people have really sensitive noses and get headaches and nausea from strong smells.
That’s another reason why you should try and sample first rather than blind buying. What may smell nice to you at first can literally make you feel sick wearing it all day.
If you’re looking for relatively inoffensive office appropriate scents, D&G The One and Terre d’Hermes are also popular. It’s all subjective though because Terre d’Hermes gives me a headache.
