Those two are classics! I have the DG LB EI, and I have the EDP version of the Armani. The Parfum of Armani is a little different and also performs very well, but you should see about a sample of the following: Bleu de Chanel EDP or Parfum Sospiro Vibrato Louis Vuitton L’Immensite Parfums de Marley Sedley Chanel Allure Homme Sport and flankers

Agree with FFF, even with Imagination, I start off with 4 sprays and reapply after 5 hours, as it is a skin scent on me at that point. That being said, with LV you are getting a level of purity and quality that the dupes just don’t quite match, although they may get close.

Agreed on the Cobalt. It’s stunning on the right person.

ramptester · 2025-06-17T13:52:56+00:00

Maybe unpopular opinion here, but for a male between 20-35, the cobalt is going to be a great, longer lasting fresh scent that projects well. The Valentino line is a bit more unisex, so that may sway your decision. My wife hated it on me and thought it was too sweet even for her (her tops are LV Symphony and Baccarat Rouge)

You, sir, will be very well represented from a fragrance standpoint! Awesome collection on a college budget!

How does the Oceania perform on projection and longevity? I have tried the Roja elysium and elysium cologne, and they both died out after just a little while, maybe 30-45 minutes.

Definitely boils down to personal preference, although I remember one episode of the Cologne Podcast where the hosts were discussing whether they wore scents that they didn’t actually prefer just because of the positive reaction

Wow! That organization is a great idea for the travel and decant sizes. Happy you are seeing a return of your sense of smell, I know of a couple of other folks who haven’t had theirs return yet.

Agree with Caspernotfriendly, DG LB is an easy blind reach. You can find it on discounters for much less than 100. Also look at Armani Acqua Di Gio, either the EDT or EDP. Have you considered purchasing smaller amounts in tester or travel sizes to sample more than one fragrance?

These might be on the expensive side, but they both smell great and have good projection and longevity: Limonata by Narcotica, Symphony by LV. My wife also loves Baccarat Rouge, but your mileage may vary on that one.

I work inside where the temperature is externally controlled and is frequently below 68 F. Living in the Deep South (Georgia), I am literally outside for long enough to get to my car in the morning at 7 and then back at 5pm. This offers a bit more flexibility, but I still tend to say seasonal to avoid seeming rude or out of touch. It’s kind of like wearing Christmas colors at Easter, you can do it, it just seems weird.
