I realize how daunting it can be to read this site (or any others) and not know where to start. I've made up 10 categories that are popular in men's fragrances today and have stated good examples of each. Try these 10 (or any of the alternates), and you'll then have a better idea of the type of scent that appeals to you. Note that these are not the end-all perfect examples of each...just a good variety.
For more suggestions, check out the excellent articles on Perfumeposse.com entitled Perfume 101 and Perfume 201. There are several sources for obtaining samples. If you have any trouble locating anything, send me a message and I'll do my best to help out.
