Ok, so my husband wants cologne for his birthday, but hasn't chosen a scent/brand. I am completely lost about which one to choose. I know the only one he doesn't want is Drakkar Noir. He doesn't want a really strong scent either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks everyone!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you everyone! I went shopping today and ended up with one of the Abercrombie scents. But I think I may go shopping again and pick up another brand just in case he doesn't like it.

Go into a dept. store with a good fragrance section (Nordstroms, Macys, etc.) and bring your sniffer! They should have coffeebeans to clean your palate between colognes and the fragrance people are very, very knowledgeable. They'll be able to know exactly what the base scents are in the one he doesn't like and x all the ones that are similar off the list. Then:

Pick out one you like. :) :) :)

Personally, I'm fond of Bulgari, but we all have very different tastes when it comes to scents.

Go to Dillards. They will have tons of choices that you can smell and somebody to help choose. Many come with free gift - like a gym bag. Look at key words on the tag - if it says - woodsy or earthy - it's that musky smell, usually really strong. Look for words like clean, crisp. Those are the lighter ones. Smell them until you find one that makes your knees weak. After all - YOU are the one that's going to be smelling it on him.
I'm old school, I still love CKone, Stetson and Obsession, but Fossil, Curve by Liz Claiborne, Lucky, and Abercrombie and Fitch have all found a way into my heart.

Go to Neiman's.
Get a cologne, the "Creed" brand.
They make it for men or women. Also unisex.
This is a high end scent of QUALITY. So it costs.
They make scents, for all the celebrities and the Royal Family. Princess Di for example and George Clooney etc.

My Husband has a bottle.
Loves it.
And, it is not a scent that dozens of other Men, will have.

Creed has MANY scents.
