Nope, but I'll try to make a shitty one for you.

First off, you should most likely go to any store that can sell fragrances like Sephoras, Nordstrom, etc. Sample any of the fragrances they have available. There is the stigma around "perfume for women, cologne for men" blah blah who gives a shit. If you LIKE it, then wear it. Doesn't matter if you're a guy, girl, 15, 40, whatever. Like it? Want to wear it? Wear it. I walked past some goofy teenager the other day at the mall and he was wearing Chanel No 5. Kid was probably like 16-16. Guess what? It WORKED. But I digress, so just sample several on the sampling strips, narrow it down. And whenever you find 1 or 2 that you like, spray it on your skin, then go about the day and let it develop and see how it reacts with your skin. You'll figure out if it smells good, bad, the sillage, longevity, etc. And just go from there: Does it smell amazing? That could be a plus but if for example the longevity was garbage. You might want to look for another fragrance unless you don't mind those issues. Then basically just but whatever you like.

Always sample before you buy something, luckyscent.com is where you can purchase a shit ton of samples if you want to get some fragrances that you might not otherwise be able to. However a lot of perfumeries do send out free samples, so email any perfumery and see if they'd be willing to work with you. Most will, however some will tell you to fuck off.

Now, as for some 'suggestions' for perfumers...generally the more popular shit like Acqua Di Gio and such are fine, they tend to not smell awful to most and you'll probably end up liking it. BUT, again, not everyone will like it so sample that shit regardless. I personally think that some fragrances like Creeds, Tom Fords, etc are GREAT but they're not $200, $300, $400+ great. Some people can do that, I can't because I'm broke as shit.

Tom Ford, Creed, Le Labo, CB I Hate Perfume, CdG, Tauer, etc.
