Question:
I'm going to a Model United Nations conference in San Francisco next weekend, and as we're just carrying on luggage, I only have room for one fragrance. It will be four long days spent in a suit, but probably plenty of drunken revelry at night, so I'm looking for something that works as both formal/business and club/fun.
As of now, I'm leaning toward Dior Homme. What do you guys suggest? My wardrobe is linked in my signature, and I don't have the money to buy anything else, so I'm limited to what I already have.
Your opinions and advice would be appreciated, because I am so horribly indecisive

Answer:
Mr. E,
Oh, as much A*men as possible!
Seriously, I like your idea. On the other hand, I think I'd be happy with Burberry London for that.
I noticed you have the new Varvatos Vintage, with its bizarro nomenclature. I'm amused by the strong negative reviews; I found it to be better than its earlier relative!
Have fun on your trip!

Answer:
Burberry London was my first instinct, but I vote for Dolce & Gabbana PH.

Have fun on your trip! Well I am the "delegate" from Venezuela, so perhaps A*Men would be a good choice to go with my over-the-top performance!
I love Burberry London, but it only lasts about an hour on me at most . Too bad, because it's probably in my top three scents while it does last.
And the Varvatos Vintage is a wonderful little fragrance. I've thoroughly enjoyed both it and the original Varvatos, and I'm hoping for more releases to come from his line.

Answer:
Nice collection. Just my take, but I would opt for Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme. A light touch during the day and some extra at night.

Answer:
A*Men to me seems too much for a formal occasion as its kinda playful...
Id also take along the dior homme
usually the first instinct is the correct one.
(i own and love both a*men and pour homme)

Answer:
From a fellow Kansan (and knowing the temps here)...something for work and play...I'd go w/ Burberry Brit. Have a blast on your trip!

Answer:
That's a fine collection, and there are several I wouldn't hesitate to choose. I kind of like your idea of going with Dior Homme right off the bat. Another might be Hanae Mori, I think that plays the role of a gourmand that can go to the office (while it rocks the evening parties).
No doubt it is just my problem, but I can't say on the Burberries. They all run together for me. None of them stick in my memory! I'll do better next time I see them at a counter, but I'm just not one competent to challenge anyone who recommends them. So weigh heavily toward those members suggesting Burberry despite what I say.

Answer:
I would say M7 will suit the San francisco weather very well.

Answer:
I'm really not sure, but I think that it may be illegal to carry any kind of alcoholic product on the airplane. Espescially something in a vaporiser, it'd be very easy to put anthrax in that. Not to be a party pooper, I just don't want you to show up at the airport and have to mail it home because the security guard has reservations against anything sprayable. That being said, I recommend D&G too.
