one hint that you cannot yet understand about this hobby but you will hopefully appreciate: slow down

those bottles will last you for ages, and just as your taste changes rapidly (at least i hope so) in whatever you do, these bottles will be far beyond what you'd like to wear before you have a 5ml dent in them. i'm speaking out of experience as the designer fragrances that i bought very early haven't seen sunlight in years

that being said: what you have bought is ok, very basic

>Valentino Uomo
sure
>Initio Oud for Greatness
don't do it, it is not interesting
>Xerjoff Naxos
sure
>Dior Homme Intense
sure
>Mugler Pure Havanne
100% no, i haven't worn mine once after buying ti blind - it is a synthetic piece of shit
>Rogue Bon Monsieur
100% yes, it is the best aromatic fougere on market. period.

>What other fragrances would Anon recommend that are in line with these?

i don't know what you mean by "in line" or why would you like to stay "in line" when exploring your
taste.

anyhow, since you have a bottle of jubi xxv and grand soir you must enjoy ambers; grand soir sets you on the goal for sweet ambers so you do not need a new one. for the sake of exploring i would try a myrrh-based amber, the following three are staples on the market
>ambra aurea by profumum
>ambre preciux by mpeg
>vento nel vento by bois 1920

also i would try nicolai de parfum's line in case you have not sampled them yet. they have a variety of fragrances, some clearly more traditional or old-school. NYI is a classic, amber oud is nice but suitable for autumn/winter desu.

as a last suggestion, i would suggest trying the houses of tauer and hiram green. tauer offers some classics everyone should try (e.g., acdd, phi) and hiram green's all natural fragrances have a unique, pure touch to them that is extremely hard to find in other artisan houses. try arcadia and arbole, arbole at least.

lastly, as another anon said: go through classics (such as those by nicolai), this will give you some insight into different genres

two excellent lavenders
