Acqua di gio just takes me back too far. I don't like the scent memory of my HS days.
Armani code is
too 1 -
Tried that one too it's good stuff. I have some solid cologne called Bravado by Alfred Lane that smells great but it doesn't last very long. If I can find something similar in a bottled cologne I'd never buy anything else.0

My current colognes are Jimmy Choo Man, Polo Red, D&G light blue, and Prada.0
-
Hugo Boss 'boss bottled'.

Oh gosh every time I smell Cool Water I think of high school. The boys bathed in it.3 -
I had a buddy who bathed in aqua de gio and he smoked cigs constantly. I can't detach the two smells from each other. If someone is wearing it, I automatically smell smoke with it.2

Creed is also nice0

I liked CK One years ago - do they even make that anymore? I like my husband's deodorant - Old Spice Fresh.0

Yes I love Armani Code
When I worked at Dillard's I was showing it to this lady who was basically salivating at the smell. She said her husband refused to wear cologne so I jokingly said "buy it for the pool boy" so she said "ohhhhh I do have a yard man"and bought it right then lmao.
Cool water does bring back that time too.. And sunflowers! Remember that?

Gross Sunflowers! I wore CK one, now I can't stand the smell. And all the girls wore that Bath and Body Works spray. Cucumber Melon scented anything now makes me want to hurl! Oh the 90's!1 -

I started investigating fragrances some years ago when I tried to figure out what cologne I owned in the 70s that had cedar and lime notes. Never found it, but learned a lot in the process. My recommendation is read reviews, try samples, go to department stores and try what's there, and figure out what you like. Good sites for reading about fragrances are fragrantica.com and basenotes.com; for decants (samples), surrendertochance.com, luckyscents.com and theperfumedcourt.com. There are indie perfumers as well as more mainstream perfumers.
My favorite warm weather scents include: Guerlain Vetiver, Creed Baie de Genievre, L'Artisan Fou d'Absinthe, Tauer L'air du Desert Marocain, Comme des Garcons Laurel, Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel. For colder weather, Guerlain Derby, Creed Orange Spice, Creed Bois du Portugal, Knize Ten, several Serge Lutens export fragrances. But these are just my personal favorites after going through literally hundreds of samples over a period of years, yours will probably end up different (I tend to favor older "classic" scents). Some of the above are affordable (Grey Flannel can be found for $10 a bottle), some are obscenely expensive (I've seen Guerlain Derby listed for over $300).
Good houses I'd suggest for more adventurous younger guys are Comme des Garcons, slumberhouse, some of the Creeds (like Green Irish Tweed). I like quite a few of the Serge Lutens offerings, you might check those too. You can find a lot of these at higher-end department stores -- as well as purchasing decants from the above mentioned sites.2 -

Wait.
Over $300 a bottle ??
Get this,
When in college, I was flat azz broke and I would just wear Coppertone suntan lotion.
It was cheap and smelled like the beach and Summer vacation.
Chicks would dig it because it brought back good memories.
I mean seriously, who doesn't like the beach when you're 19 years old?
... did I mention that it was cheap?
