Which fragrance to buy?

[WonderfulFrag]

I have tried some perfumes but it is very difficult for me to find scene I like.
Unfortunately, some frags are unavailable in my country and I inevitably have to make some blind buy.
I listed some of my taste on the frags I tried; please give me some opinions on what to buy.
Thanks!

Candidates considering to buy

1. YSL Libre intense : I love this fragrance, even for a guy! Its base note is fantastic, with great performance. But is there something like this one but with less floral opening? Consider I am a guy in late 20’s.
2. JPG Le Male Le parfum : I haven’t tried this yet. Le Male was good for me. Would this feel too old for me? (I find BDC or Dior Sauvage too mature.) Please give me opinions on this one!
3. Armani ADG EDP : Smell is perfect! But too weak Is there any stronger version similar to this?
4. YSL Y le parfum : smell is good, but is it worth buying for its performance and price? Would it smell too young?

Please give me any other decent frags, if possible, I really would like to know about good frags beyond my knowledge! I am looking for frags with good performance, with price lower or similarto the list I mentioned above.

Below are some other frags I tried (popular frags marked in bold) :
Great

1. Chanel AHSEE : I have this. I like the aromatic scene, good for drawing attention.
2. Armani ADG profumo : I have this. No downside, very versatile.
3. Armani ADG profondo : will buy on next summer.
4. Armani ADG Absolu : also good, maybe buy later.
5. JPG Le Male : good, but I bought AHSEE instead.

Good

1. Armani code edt : excellent, but too weak.
2. Armani code profumo : good, but a bit old for me.
3. Chanel BDC : good, but a bit old for me.
4. Chanel Blanche : good, but a bit old for me.
5. YSL L’Homme : good, but too weak. Any stronger version of this?
6. Creed Aventus : great, but too expensive.
7. Byredo Mojave ghost : great, but too expensive for its performance.
8. Kenzo edt : good, will try stronger version later.

Okay

1. Dior Sauvage (edp,parfum,elixr) : good, but too old for me.
2. YSL LNDL : too sweety for me, and too weak.
3. Moschino Toyboy : okay, good price, but too standing out! Maybe purchase later.
4. Versace eros : good, but I prefer AHSEE.
5. Prada Luna Rosa (Carbon,Black) : good, but boring.
6. D&G the one for men edp : good, but too weak.
7. Dipdique : good, but price too overrated.
8. Maison Margiela : okay, but doesn't go well with my style.
9. Jo Malone : good, but too weak.

Soso

1. Armani code absolu : okay, but too old for me.
2. Tomford black orchid : too much grass smell for me.
3. Mont Blanc Explorer : similar to aventus, but somewhat less classy.
4. Issey Miyake LDPH : too weak?
5. Terre D’hermes : not bad, but too old for me.
6. Guelain : not bad, but too old for me.
7. Davidoff coolwater : okay.

Dislike : personal opinion only!

1. Dior Homme intense : too spicy and old for me.
2. Kiel original musk : not my personal taste.
3. Versace BD : too spicy and old for me. I actually blind bought this
4. Aesop : too woody for me.

LE Male LE Parfum is hard not to like IMO. It is excellent and very few seem to hate it.

What about Stronger with You Intensely? Based on what you like, I would be surprised if you didn’t like it.

 

[hednic]

All four of your candidates are fine whichever you wind up choosing.

 

[Ken_Russell]

Either among YSL Y Le Parfum and ADG EDP-possibly also Le Male as an honorable mention/alternative option, should these first two be unavailable for some reason

 

[Scentologist]

YSL Y EDP or Le Parfum.
CK Defy EDP
Bad Boy Cobalt
Eternity Parfum (doesn't have eternity DNA, but is really good)
Polo Blue Gold Edition
Chanel Platinum Egoiste

1. Creed Aventus : great, but too expensive.

You could start with Afnan Supremacy Silver since it's close and very cheap.

Stronger with You Intensely! I will try that if I can find a store selling it. Which of the frags I listed smells similar to this?

If I am to make a blind buy btw Le Male Le Perfum and Stronger with You Intensely, which would you recommend to buy first?

One real downside about ADG EDP is that it is tooo weak! Would there be a decent projecting similar frag?

I did like JPG Le male, though it smelled similar to Chanel AHSEE, which I bought.

YSL Y EDP or Le Parfum.
CK Defy EDP
Bad Boy Cobalt
Eternity Parfum (doesn't have eternity DNA, but is really good)
Polo Blue Gold Edition
Chanel Platinum Egoiste

Wow thanks for your decent suggestions! I will give them a try!

About ADG EDP, I found it too weak, would there be a good projecting frag similar to this?

Yeah, though I couldn't find Afnan in my region, I do recognize its decent reputation

 

[WonderfulFrag]

All four of your candidates are fine whichever you wind up choosing.

Though I do have some considerations

For YSL Libre intense, I want something less floral,
for ADG EDP I want something with much better performance,
and for Y le parfum I wonder if it is classy enough?

I think it comes down to which one your nose thinks works best for you, that's not something anyone can determine but you.

I wish I could try out all of them, but unfortunately some are not available in my region.

Which ones are accessible to you?

Currently on the list, JPG Le male le parfum is "unavailable." I want to see if there are better choice over this, but even other frags compared to this are unavailable.

JPG Le male le parfum : unavailable.
Emperio Armani Strong With You Intensely : not tried yet, but I think this is available.(Just found this one out from the replies above, and will try out soon.) Is this a better choice than JPG Le male le parfum? They might not even smell similar, I don't know I couldn't try any of them.
Azzaro most wanted : unavailable. Is this better over Le male le parfum?

These frags I tried and liked, but I keen to find a better option :
YSL Libre intense : liked it, but I want something less floral, which goes well for a man in late 20's.
ADG EDP : liked it, but I am looking for something with a lot better performance.

This is my bias towards these ones:

But go for Le Male Le Parfum and Libre Intense.
