Most of us don't know what Cool Water is, a few do and they say Oh my dad has that! But most of us can't even tell the difference between Chanel and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The only fragracnes high schoolers know is like Abercrombie, Hollister, Curve, and Paris Hilton.
but I want the fragrance that will catch a GUY's attention if you know what I mean

Answer:
Originally Posted by thisbekevinn but I want the fragrance that will catch a GUY's attention if you know what I mean I think that would depend on the guy that's smelling you. If I were smelling you, GIT would catch my attention. If CoL smelled you, I suspect SMW would catch his attention. And so on.

Hmm, it's a certain someone and they seem to REALLY enjoy my Rochas Man. Based on that, which one will do?

SMW is more gourmand than GIT, although neither is a real gourmand fragrance.

Hope that helps - good luck and tell us how it goes.

Looking at your wardrobe, I'm noticing that it's very heavy on the fresh frags. If this guy likes Rochas Man and you do too, and you want to explore new fragrance territory based on this, you're in the wrong department entirely with these two Creeds.
Nothing against the Creeds you're after, but try looking into a few of the following as well (in order of what I like best):
Dior Homme
Bulgari Black
YSL Body Kouros
Chanel Egoiste/Allure
Malle's Musc Ravageur
Bond no 9 New Haarlem
Burberry Brit
Bucheron Jiapur
Givenchy Pi
A-Men
Hanae Mori
These are all sweeter, and most of them are quite powdery and smooth. I belive you'd like them. New Haarlem in particulary smells a LOT like Rochas Man. There are many many others in the category that I did not mention. I hope this helps you. Test away!

Answer:
I had a hard time deciding between the two. Bought both in the end because both of them are just so good!
SMW smells "beautiful". But it takes a while to fully appreciate it.
GIT does the job instantly. And it has lots of depth. The more you smell it, the better it gets.

GIT does the job instantly. And it has lots of depth. The more you smell it, the better it gets. Ehh I know I'm going to buy both of them in the end but what one to buy first? Which one is good for a chilly yet sunny Seattle spring weather? There both around $40-$60 each so I'll most likely end up getting both of them.
LiveJazz thanks for the tip, I have a pretty large decant of A*men, samples of Hanae Mori, and a bottle of Brit (bros but I use it sometimes) that I'll try out again.
Also the Brit soothingbalm+Rochas man=10+ hours of some strong sillage!!

I ended up winning SMW on eBay for $39 + $8.99 shipping, it's a 4.0oz and new in box.

There's the link, does this stuff look real?

Answer:
Well, I'm not too worried about the authenticity, considering the number of sales the seller has. BUT the cap looks a bit scratched, leading me to believe that perhaps the bottle is more than a few years old. I've heard some distrubing stories about SMW going bad very quickly and very dramatically, but I have no experience with this personally. Hopefully this one was stored well.
