Howdy there, I recently started getting more interested into fragrances/colognes and feel completely lost. I’d ideally like to have two different colognes, one that is subtle, not overpowering and good for work or just going out casually. And another that is more suited for date nights where I’d really like to smell good and perhaps something more more seductive?

I’m looking to spend around $50 or less for each, and that are hopefully available at department stores like Macy’s, Dillards, Ross, etc. I’m going to be going in person to some of these stores to smell some samples soon and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for me to try if I come across them in the store. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve already looked up recommendations in this subreddit but still have no idea lol.
