Paco Rabanne Men's Phantom Parfum

This sweet scent does a good job of lasting a fair bit of the day while smelling strange and warm and compelling. I like it quite a bit for the pre-outings where something more powerful is a bit too powerful for that first ~30-60 minutes after application (looking at you Paco Rabanne Men's Million Gold Intense EDP).

So, yep I recommend this one!

And as I've mentioned, if you're looking for a cologne, do not get this. Go to a store like Macy's (or get a sampler and spray one on each day). See where you're at 1 hour, 4 hours, and then 8 hours into it. Everyone's nose is different. Everyone's skin is different. What works for me may not work for you, so see what you like rather than listening to the nose-blind lunatics on Reddit or elsewhere.

And final note: Get the sampler from a Macy's or other retailer. And then buy the big bottle from a Jomashop or other discounter (or dupe shop, whatever) because let's be real here this is some pricey stuff and you don't know what scent your nose (and those around you) will crave or come to detest after your scent altering endeavors here.
