Makes sense.

I really like Trussardi Uomo, but I think they have stopped making it.

I've had a bottle of it ever since, and still really like it. Of course nowadays it's a LOT easier for me, as a girl, to find what I like, because someone finally figured out that vanilla makes a good perfume.
Obsession was one of the first ones I ever got. When I took my first whiff, I could practically hear its molecules snapping right into my receptors, and took that as an indication that it went with me well. It's heavy, sweet, and very animalistic. Good for wearing to dance parties with live punk rock bands playing. I rarely use it any more—still on my first bottle of eau de parfum!

Similar thread from last year. That one gave me a few ideas. I tried Cool Water by Davidoff, and the wife really liked it.

Either "Love" or "Lust" from Lush. They make those perfumes in eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and as perfume stick. I like the stick best.

My daily wear "light" scent is Lauder's Pleasures for Men. My heavier scent (better for when wearing heavy clothing or dancing or something) is Calvin Klein's Euphoria Men.

I know both work on me; my ex-girlfriend would lean in to me on lunch dates, take a whiff of the Pleasures, and tell me I smelled nice. On nights out on the town, she'd have me up against the wall, dig her face in, inhale the Euphoria deeply, then attack me in a good way.

That's also where I learned of Mania by Armani. The wife likes that too.

Beautiful Love by Estee Lauder.

As far as colognes go for men, anything but patchouli.
