If you haven't done it before, you may want to consider having a cologne created specifically for you. There are many places that can do this for you. I don't know where you live, but if you visit New Orleans you can stop in at Bourbon French Perfumes, which has been around since 1843. If you do visit them, aside from having them create a custom scent just for you (which they can then incorporate into things besides cologne), you can sample some of their historical creations, like Napoleon's favorite cologne.

And if you're going for vintage (classic revival) with Hai Karate, you can always try the full 60s Sampler, which would also include at least English Leather, Canoe, Brut, Aqua Velva, British Sterling, Stetson, Jade East, Jovan Musk, and Eau Sauvage.

For classic barbershop, try using some Pinaud Clubman aftershave (circa 1810).

And of course, from 1955 there's also Chanel Pour Monsieur, which is considered by some to be the baseline masculine scent.
