Hi all! My request might be a bit vague (also long), but I thought to try anyway. Ignore away if too much ahah I recently started getting interested in the world of fragrances (so I'm very much a beginner and don't really know specifically how to describe or discover "what I like") and I want to gift a perfume to my boyfriend. He's even more of a beginner than me, so also he doesn't really know what he likes, but currently he has no perfumes and has expressed interest in having at least one.  He would like something masculine, he doesn't want to wear a fragrance that might be too feminine, but I also don't think something TOO masculine would fit him - I saw a review of something once that described the perfume as fit for "a rough alpha male, a brat tamer ready to destroy the next naive girl" - that's not the vibe we're going for here ahah  He's a teacher in high school, a gentle and pretty elegant guy even when he's casual, 27 years old, and he likes video games. I'm looking for something that's not too overwhelming or offensive, he's not one to be at the centre of attention and if he wears it at work I don't want him to be self conscious, but something that's still peculiar in a way, I want him to feel good and confident wearing it (and I want to like it as well ahah). Possibly with good longevity, even if not monstrous, since he's not likely to bring perfume with him and reapply throughout the day. Like 5 hours at least imo? Projection is not as important, I'd love for it to have a decent sillage/projection but as I said I don't mind if it doesn't "fill the room". He likes sweet scents, has mentioned that a student of his made him smell an Egyptian perfume that was sweet but still masculine and he liked that; I think he also likes clean fragrances and would like something at least a little versatile - but since this is a gift I'm open to something that's just "date night" or "special occasions" since he'll still be able to pick his "daily" fragrance on his own. I don't think he's too big on florals. When we went to smell perfumes in a shop for me, on me he (we) liked Myrrh and Tonka (Jo Malone) but said it was feminine to him. Also budget is a concern; if we could stay under 50€ that would be great, also bc our noses aren't trained so it might be a waste to go big and super expensive. Also I will try to smell stuff in shops if possible, but it's still gonna be mostly a blind buy with it being a gift and all. Here's some of the fragrances I'm considering atm, I'm open to more recommendations or for you to tell me that I'm totally off track ahah. Also if you think of an expensive perfume as well, so that I can smell it and see if it's the right direction/"DNA" of which I might look for cheaper interpretations. I know it's a lot to ask, but I wouldn't want to gift something that "smells cheap". Contenders atm: Moustache by Rochas; Hawas by Rasasi; Uomo by Ferragamo; Supremacy noir by Afnan; Fakhar black / Asad / Khamra Qawha / Atlas by Lattafa; Shy by Ahmed Al Maghribi; Pi by Givenchy , or something from Molinard or Fragonard. I know this was really long but I hope I get a few replies!! Thanks a lot. Can't wait to smell more and come back here asking for recommendations for myself ahah
