I have a couple of bottles of cologne that are 5+ years old that all seem to work out just fine. You should be dandy on shelf life.
How long a scent lasts is highly dependent on the scent. Unfortunately, Lime is a scent that dissapears really fast. On the other hand, Musk lasts seemingly forever. As far as choosing one, that's all up to you.
