TdH is a good frag but nothing spectacular. It's damm popular in europe.
D&G Anthology series - I've tried them all and all are crap. A waste of hard earned money if u ask me.

Perfumes are not clothes dude. I never throw out my perfumes until every drop is finished. I even keep some of the empty bottles for display purposes. I try to get the best deal possible but I have never bought from warehouse sale b4. The hassle is just too much sometimes. Moreover some of the perfumes on sale during warehouse sales are sometimes defective or old.

question about old perfumes..
do the smell change lets say after 2 -3 years after opening?
like eye drops need to use in 1 month after must throw it
isit the same??

depends on how exposed the perfumes are. if its stored properly in a cool, dark place, it can last for 10+ years.

some perfumes do smell better over time so dont be cautious or start throwing just yet.
You could try YSL M7, Gucci Pour Homme I (the brown one) or Guerlain L'instant de Guerlain and also Guerlain Heritage. Chanel Egoiste isnt bad too. but as always do try them first b4 buying.

There will be a change in the way the perfume smells indefinitely especially in the top notes 2-3 yrs after opening. This is because top notes are primarily citrus and citrus oils tend to degrade quite fast. However no worries as the middle and base notes will remain the same even after 2-3 years. My dad has a bottle of perfume that is at least 15 years old and when I compare my new bottle with it, there is only a difference in the top notes. Usually when there is a degradation in top notes the initial smell would be less fresh, sometimes even stinky but after a while the smell will be the same. 

Also, it depends on how you store your perfume. Optimal way would be to use a wine cooler in order to maintain a constant temperature. But that would be expensive and takes up space. I store my perfumes the original box whenever possible and keep them in a cupboard away from light and heat. It helps too if your room is air conditioned. So far I have not noticed any change in the smell of my perfumes. Whenever possible try to get the freshest stock possible. Local importers most of the time will include a small sticker indicating the manufactured date. Although the date is not always accurate it's better than nothing. So if u are storing your perfumes near a window or on display near bright lights I suggest u store them properly.

Depends on how "unique" smelling you want to be really. Some occasions call for uniqueness some for conformity haha.

Here are some suggestions for you to try out:
- YSL Opium Pour Homme EDT **
- Aramni Code**
- YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme
- Chanel Pour Monsieur*
- Thierry Mugler A*Men and B*Men **
- Aramis (1965)*
- Dunhill Edition*
- Bulgari Black (my personal fav)
- YSL M7
- Lalique Encre Noire - this would be something very suitable if u are looking for something complex, dark and sophisticated.
- Cartier Pasha
- L'Essence de Must de Cartier Pour Homme

*Frags are more mature smelling and would suite formal evening wear.
**Frags that are sweet but more sophisticated than Issey Intense and very good for casual nights out.

thanks both of you for the info
i guess i really need to store them properly now
being a student, i rarely buy perfumes
in fact, i only bought 2 bottle all my life and others are gift from people

The citrussy top notes only last for a short time but the one u tried yesterday should be a fresher tester.

Always try on skin to get the best out of the scent. Many times ppl are fooled by the paper strips. But do take note that sometimes even d shower gel u use can affect how a scent smells like on skin. That'd y i use unscented soap if i don't have the matching shower gel.

ya
this is true
sometime there are "deadly combination" between your soap scent plus perfume
give me headache due to weird smell

we use perfume for own satisfactory/nice smells
but every now and then, I really love to hear a girl say "I like your scent"
but it never happen

and there are no so called 'rejected' perfumes, they are decants. 

it's safest to buy tester or original packaging.

Yeah, Dreamer & Havane is nice but not that safe for blind buy since not everyone will like it.. Maybe it's suitable for your liking..

I like gourmand lol.. Sure i can suggest some like:

- Guerlain L'Instant (Flanker also)
- Rochas Man
- D&G The One
- A*Men (Flanker also)
- Givenchy Very Irresistible / Play Intense
- Hanae Mori

And a lot more..
