Finding a scent for a picky DH?

So, here is my problem.

DH would like a scent for everyday, but doesn't normally wear any.

He loathes shopping at the best of times, and would rather gnaw his leg off than browse the perfume counters in John Lewis.

I am allowed to research, bring home card testers and occasionally take him directly to the shop, squirt one on each arm and run away.

His ideal scent would be [[https://phoenix.lush.co.uk/product/180/Grass-Shower-Gel-100g Lush Grass]], which he loves, but is only a shower gel.

A lot of the ones I like have come out too heavy and sweet on him (Boss Orange, Polo - red bottle, Gucci guilty).

I'm obviously picking wrong, but I'm clueless once I venture into the men's side.

Any ideas gratefully received :)

terre d'hermes
mouchoir de monsieur (guerlain)
eau sauvage
chanel pour homme
declaration (cartier)

and my favourite, habit rouge (guerlain)

all fresh, not 'new' and naff and unlikely to turn sweet.

floris santal has grass notes in it.

DH wears Acqua Di Gio aftershave and it smells quite sexy on him.

Great ideas, thanks. I love Guerlain's scents on me, but hadn't thought about them for DH.

Smelled tom fords neroli portofinio in Bloomingdales. Nearly got it for dh, until I found out the price. But it is gorgeous. He'll probably get it for an occasion rather than a just because gift

I once followed a bloke round the supermarket like the Bisto Kid because he was wearing lime basil and mandarin Blush
