I am more comfortable with lighter scents, and I generally don't wear any cologne at all. I'm interested in how I smell up close and personal, but not at all interested in leaving a trail of my scent behind me as I walk through a room, no matter how brief or pleasing it may be to the more refined snout.
In general, I want something elegant, understated, and sexy (but not pornstar-sexy).
Can you give me the hookup?
Thanks!

You'll want one of the following:
Ungaro III by Ungaro (dark and refined,)
Rive Gauche pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent (mature and cool,)
The Third Man by Caron (powerful and authoritative,)
Bois du Portugal by Creed (refined, mature and rich, the price tag will kick you in the nuts, but when you recover you'll be glad you took the hit. Keep this on its own shelf or it will kick your other colognes' asses.)
I've just been reminded of this little gem

Double check his descriptions of stuff (Himalaya isn't unisex, some ingredients are left out.) A good resource for fragrance info is
