OK, your three to try are, in order of preference, L'Anarchiste by Caron, M7 by YSL, and L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake. For a high-end, try Creed's Original Santal, although the exquisiteness is likely to be lost on the high school and college crowds who are satisfied with Axe and the like. Something good will set you apart, but if the people around you don't have the experience and sophisticated taste to appreciate a masterwork, you'll be spending a lot more just to impress yourself. I don't mean that to sound condescending, it's the same thing with college kids favoring Natural Light and box wine, quality takes a backseat to price.
If you like L'Anarchiste, you won't bother with the others, if you don't, give it another try another day.

She also had me try a couple others: Opium and Twice Iceberg. I didn't particularly like either... Opium was just too strong, and Twice Iceberg was too summery. I am aware that I may have been judging them relative to Rive Gauche which may be unfair - Rive Gauche just seemed so much punchier and oozed class (they had no coffee beans for health and safety reasons relating to nut allergies. Another customer said that a slice of lemon works too). Twice Iceberg was just £9.99 so I may visit the shop again in a couple days and try it out again.
Interestingly, she said she'd never heard of Creed despite being in the industry for several years.

Great! I'll have to look for Iceberg, I've never seen it before. And as always, if someone hasn't heard of Creed, it's because they don't advertise and are only sold online and in top-end places like Saks Fifth Ave; my local Saks doesn't even have one, I have to go to one in a wealthier town for a Creed counter. That's the only store in CT that carries them and there are 5 in NY state, two Saks, two Nieman Marcus, and two Bergdorf Goodman.
