Gabe I think M7 would be a terrific

cologne for a guy your age. I own it and save it for fall,winter and early spring. Of course, I have over two

hundred fragrances in my collection. Basenotes is an excellent place to learn and study.

As far as combos,

there are NO shortcuts. You have to do the experiments yourself. Mixes that work for Joe Blow may not work at all

for you, and can even make matters worse. Be wary of all these dudes who are mix gurus, many are just on ego trips.

You will be much better off doing your own trial and error, both with mones and fragrance.
