Since you like to order the Body Spritz of the "type" , do their version last very long since they market themselves for not adding alcohol in their mixes? I also noticed that they add aloe, chamomile, calendula & lavender to their Body Spritz, doesn't that alter the scent of whichever cologne you have ordered? E.g: Fierce type with aloe, chamomile, calendula & lavender.

My dior sauvage lasts long. I can still smell it the next day. Cdnim I can also smell the next day. All my armafs seem to last long ... tag him ... bois nuit. .. original club de nuit.
I just got bogart pour homme and this is also a good one if you like tobacco scents. People say it's similar to TM pure malt.
I also spray molecule 1 as a base and this seems to increase longevity. I wore burberry London the other day which doesn't tend to last long but on top of molecule 1 I could still smell it 10 hours later. And not just as a skin scent but still actually projecting.
not sure i'd hold my breath with sears and huge discounts on stuff like fragrances.
My first BlackXS did last. I remember getting a compliment on it couple of hours after applying it and thought "finally something that lasts on me!" But the second one, not so much. Maybe they indeed changed the formula....something that seems common apparently. My Spicebomb doesn't last at all even though I really like it. I read on basenotes someone mentioning that his Spicebomb doesn't last like his previous bottle.
I will check out your other suggestions, some of them seem to be expensive but will see if Scent Split has them (thanks to DarkLord for mentioning it below your post, didn't know about them).
You are right about Sears. My local one is 10-30% and they posted a note in the fragrance department saying that they can't apply discounts on beauty or fragrance products. But we never know, they may when they are at the very end of their closing day and they still have overstocks.
On a side note, a question that I've been wondering about for a while....was your previous avatar spiderman with BlackCat? I'm wondering if I'm confusing you with another member or if you simply changed your avatar.
Thank you very much for the detailed reply!

Aoud's last a long time for me. They are strong smelling and some have said too strong, but I like them.
I have a sample of Musk Aoud from Roja Parfume. Got it from Scent Split. Lasts all day and I really like it.
It's polarizing....I've had people tell me that I smell too strong and I say that's because I am too strong.
Never heard of Scent Split until your post! Great opportunity to try a couple of the expensive bottles (creed, the oud colognes and a couple of them look exotic).

Thank you very much for the detailed reply man.
Bogart One Man Show Gold Edition , I like that it's strong, it means it covers the pheromones very well. How's the longevity though? Can it more or less cover them throughout the day?
Have you tried the original Bogart cologne?
I smelled Sung on the weekend. I like it but not something I would want to buy to be honest. I usually like fresh scents; whether "out of the shower fresh or orange/citrus type (if you tried Frost by Apex , you will know what I mean) But I like how it smells old school. Oscar sounds promising, I like the notes you described; will include it to the list that I may consider.

I've got the new version (I wish I had the old version to compare) and wow I love it. To me, Aramis is slightly love it or hate it kinda smell, some like it on me while others don't. But am pretty sure, if I had the chance to expose it to the ones that hate it, they'll say "wow it grows in me". Me personally I loved it from the begging. It's a very different classic smell. One spray on me Adams apple and smudged around me inner arms plus one spray on me clothes around me chest area lasts me all day. Literally all day. When I remove me tshirt to throw it into the laundry, I could STILL smell what I've sprayed in the morning. Application points're a factor too to maximize the longevity. I believe clothes hold it longer than skin.
Also, if u're thinking about longevity, have ya tried oils? Check these guys out. amd no I ain't affiliated with'em. Good thing about'em is that the price for 10 mil oils is $ 2.99. I've tried 1 million from'em and u're right, 1 million got me some good compliments.
I've also tried farenheight (starts floral, ends musky) 50 shades (similar to the wolf smell from LAL but slightly different) Attitude (slightly aquatic after shave type) and they have many other oil fragrances u can sorta mix and match. Or layer differently. I really like their amber and musk AND Egyptian musk. Mainly cos I like musky smells.
With oils, good thing about it is that ya can fine tune it to ur liking by mixing in ur alcohol.
Hope this helps Shadow. 
It did
I have few oils from the fragrance shop but I didn't use them as I would like to experiment with them by mixing them with alcohol as you have suggested. I only tried with one but the smell of alcohol was too much. I guess I didn't do the ratio well. I wonder if this is the best bet compared to buying commercial colognes.

That's the problem with online orders; we can't choose the date of the bottles.
Good to see a recent post from you XyzN.
Thank you again guys, I really appreciate the replies. Will get back to you once I save some money and be ready to purchase.
Looking for fragrances that last all day
