Question:
My S.O is picky when it comes to frags. On me he likes
(never seems to "love" anything) Aqua Di Gio, Obsession Night , Spears Fantasy.
Note really my favs, but ok.
I own
Sensi
Serpentine
Zents Sun
Zents Mandarine
Lolita Lempecka
L'Instant
Spears Fantasy
Spears In Control Curious
Spears Curious
J Lo Live
Origins Spring Fever
Aqua Di Gio
Lipstick Rose
Obsession Night
Lovely (we both hate it)
Dior Addict
By D&B
Cristobal
Guess Gold
I tried on all of the Chanels, he only liked allure sensuelle, enough to say, "it's alright".
Doesn't care for Euphoria. Thought hani mori butterfly was nice, but did not match my personality. LMAO!!!!!!!!
He's a pain in my ass!!!!!!!
Anyway, I'm trying to shop for him. All I have to go on is what he likes or does not like on me, and the 3 frags that he likes on himself. Those three are
Aqui Dio Gio (he likes it, but not as much as Kenneth Cole New York or Musc Ravageur )
Kenneth Cole New York
Musc Ravageur
On him I like Musc Ravageur the best, then Kenneth Cole. Aqua Gio, I can do without. lol
He's an accountant, handsome , loves watching sports
(heaven help me! LOL) ,
he's the silent observer type in a crowd, he loves to shop, but likes to play it safe when it comes to fashion.
Here are some examples of what he wears
Jeans and sweater with shoes like Clarks Brass Oily Bike Toe Oxford
, (Casual)
Slacks with rich color button up shirts from express with street loafers (informal events)
Yep, that's all I have to work with. lol
So, I'm looking to get him a new frag for Valentine's Day.
Please help!
Oh yeah, he is 34.

Answer:
I've always found getting someone a fragrance to be a challenge. How you smell is such a personal thing. So buying someone a fragrance you don't know they already like is a big risk. So what I suggest is to get a collection of decants and/or mini's to let your SO give them a try and then buy the preferred one. This way you have a better chance of getting a hit. Based upon your post I get the sense that you are looking to expand your SO's fragrance horizons so this could be very good.
Anyway a suggestions of one to look at is Vera Wang for Men. There are a lot of people who complain about this fragrance's longevity but I've not had any problems.

Answer:
Try YSL's Opium eau de parfum pour homme version. It's very warm, handsome, and elegant.

Answer:
I'd suggest Safari or Zino Davidoff. Straightforwardly masculine, without being too loud. And whether he likes them or not, you will probably like them on him.

Answer:
The good ladies at Malle Paris recommended me (and sent me samples of) Musc Ravageur and Vetiver Extraordinaire on the basis of their online questionnaire. My profile is not a million miles away from your SO's - so Vetiver Extraordinaire might be worth thinking about. I've worn it a couple of times and find it deep, juicy and complex. Its wearable but very different.
Other suggestions (designer rather than niche) for more formal scents, but in a mid-30s open-neck shirt kind of way;
Chanel pour Monsieur Concentree
Guerlain Heritage
Dunhill Edition
More nightwear style
Gucci Envy
YSL M7
Loli - Have a great Valentine's Day - and BTW love that avatar

Good suggestions — I second Heritage and Dunhill Edition.
And about that avatar — it looks to me like an Ellen von Unwerth photograph. Is that right?

Answer:
Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Eau des Iles

Answer:
I second Heritage big time...very warm and with hints of spice and honey and drie woods....
I`m a big fun of MR, so I would recomend one that I also love and is quite similar to it (to my nose): Must de Cartier (the women`s one)
I will also recommend Guerlain`s Shalimar, Nu edp by Yves Saint Laurent, Michael by Michael Kors and one of my holy grails: CdG Sequoia!
cheers

Answer:
If not Musc Ravenger, then try Colonia Assoluta . It's my SOTD and it's tantalizing.

Answer:
What part of the world are you in Loli? Upon reading the description of your S.O., I would recommend Dunhill Edition as well, however, Edition smells nothing like Musc Ravageur. I think two choices similar to MR are Tea for Two by L'Artisan Parfumeur and Chergui by Serge Lutens, but it's going to be tough to get them before Valentines Day.
Perhaps you could get decants from members here in time though.
