Hey guys, I was wondering what can I get myself this summer, would like something fresh and masculine. So far I own armani code parfum and dior sauvage edt. Any suggestions?
Creed Green Irish Tweed PDM Greenley Kenneth Cole Vintage Black Nishane Ege Issey Miyake L'eau Dissey Pour Homme Laboratorio Olfattivo Arancia Rosa Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Dunhill Citrus Amalfi
Pretty much any of the Acqua Di Gio line... I like profondo a lot. I have a decant of Parfum, but so far, I still prefer profondo.
I could also see Bleu de Chanel EDT or EDP working as a summer staple, but it's so versatile I can't see what they wouldn't work for lol
I second the Aqua Di Gio line. My signature scent is the EDP concentration. Marine notes and a citrus note. Smells fresh and clean.
Dior Sport Homme. I find it extremely versatile and an easy dumb reach

Looking to add another summer cologne to my collection. Tomorrow I will be going to test out a bunch of different colognes and wanted recommendations for summer scents and if any of these 3 are good choices.
ADG Parfum (2024) is my daily go to, but some say it’s a bit too heavy for really hot days. Not sure I agree but worth noting.
Imo ADG is just an OK scent but that's probably just my nose.
Recently tho i picked up a bottle of Club De Nuit intense man and I love the scent, and have gotten a compliment on it almost every day I've worn it. Supposedly it smells like Creeed Aventus but I havn't smelled that in years.
I also bought Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint Recently and like it on the dry down. The very opening has a note that just smells weird. Definitely not in the top 10 of my collection tho. But with the French Rivera will definitely be more universally enjoyed. With Mancera the all project very well and last a long time which is good in some cases, but can also be annoying to others.
My personal pick would be if you're going out and not gonna be in an office then Mancera and if you work in an office ODG Parum
Jpg le beau edp /khadlaj island or Valentino coral fantasy
The older 2015 formulation had a lot more incense, I prefer that to the current iteration , which is good but but not stellar like the prior one
BDC EDP
Sauvage EDP
Dior Homme Sport 2021
Montblanc Explorer
Anything from the light blue line (eau intense and summer vibes are my favorite), Eros energy, Acqua di gio line (profondo is my favorite).
Summer vibes is underrated. It's by far my favourite of the Light blue line.
I got a bit of dry seaweed from Profondo, but at the same time I kind of liked that? How is the performance for you
It could be the mineral and aquatic combo in it. I get a solid 8 hours with my bottle.
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza
I can’t wait to rip through this bottle this summer
Have you tried any other ADP apart from Colonia Essenza?
Virgin island Water
Davidoff Coolwater, Creed Aventus Cologne, Bleu De Chanel EDT, Eau Sauvage EDT
Looking to buy a summer cologne, I’m looking for something strong, long lasting, with citrusy or an oceany scent. I’ve been looking at this one Jean Paul Gaultier cologne, but what other suggestions do you guys have??
If money is not an issue I would go Aventus/Imagination. But I also like Montblanc Explorer for a cheaper option is decent, and in between those Nishane Hacivat.
Montblanc Explorer for summer? I've seen people say it's much more for spring or fall, rather than the summer heat.
Although I did try wearing it during a hot day to try it out and it made me wish I went with something more citrusy and refreshing.
But if you mean to wear it in summer when you're indoors inside AC rooms, then I definitely agree MB Explorer would be perfect.
Aventus cologne
I might agree I have Aventus and Aventus Cologne and the cologne is almost empty vs the other is almost full
Love the smell off montblanc explorer but it really doesn’t last long with me
Cheap: Versace Dylan Blue
Mid: Micallef GnTonic
Luxury: Roja Parfums Isola Blu
Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford, Acqua Di Gio Profondo by Armani
Terre D’Hermes Eau Givree
I bought Profondo because of all the hype about it. I am finding that it doesn't last enough, i spray up to six times. Clothes and skin even on head, i only get maybe 40 mins of some projection and after 2hrs it is almost gone completely.
Thats wild it's one of my longest lasting freshies on me.
I’ve tested now close to 40 different summer fragrances, and I still can’t pick which to finalise and buy a bottle for.
My favourites so far have been; Dior Homme Cologne, Terre d’Hermès Eau Givrée, mont blanc explorer, TF neroli portofino, amongst a few others.
But there’s a problem: the longetivity can be lacking on these without me having to spray close to 5-6 times ish, so I was wondering, what do other people use for summer as their go to? What’s an all time favourite?
The ultimate summer fragrance for me is Casamorati Mefisto by Xerjoff. It’s got a similar juicy bergamot note to Sauvage. And it carries the same freshness and overall vibe to Silver Mountain Water.
It’s perfection.
Both mefisto and mefisto gentiluomo are great and decently lasting!
My summer go to is Amouage Beach Hut Man.
I'm a 90s kid so L'eau D'Issey - Issey Miyake is my summer favourite. Laura Biagotti - Roma for when I want something a bit softer.
How long does the issey one last
I get a decent 6 hours from around 5 sprays on skin and a couple on clothes. I can't get enough of the yuzu.
Remains in my rotation for sure!
Acqua Di Gio Profondo, Dylan Blue, Penhaligon’s Sports Car Club, Creed Green Irish Tweed, Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza, Acqua Di Parma Oud, Parfums de Marly Sedley, Penhaligon’s The Impudent Cousin Matthew are all great performers in summer
LV Imagination, Rojas Elysium, Xerjoff Torino 21, Casamorati Mefisto, Bleu de Chanel EdP
I love amouage reflection man, just something about it
I’ve been considering sampling this how does it smell
I’m not very good at describing scents buts it’s kinda like a floral office scent that is still masculine with some iris in there too
It’s beautiful, if I lived in warmer climates more often I’d be wearing it 24/7
For me it’s limmensite by LV
Millesime Imperial
I love it. Would buy it if it didnt last 2 mins
Thankfully works 6+ hours on my skin, was also worried about longetivity
I’m selling mine, it’s great but not for me
Pics & post?
Aventus cologne Is my favorite summer fragrance of all time
What is the best smelling and long lasting men’s cologne for summer ?!
Armani code summer..all 30 minutes of it
Versace Pour Homme
Best smelling and performing.. probably Aqua Fahrenheit for me. Discontinued and extraordinarily priced now however.
Runners up would be Chrome Pure, Versace Eau Fraiche, and Dior Homme Cologne. Only for high heat and humidity. D&G Light blue eau intense is also one that I havent tried yet that gets much praise.
Aqua Fahrenheit is still in stock at Walmart.com and Jet.com
Word of caution, I ordered from Jet and got watered down/fake juice.
Haha wore that one today!
Personally my favorite is Virgin Island Water, some complain about longevity but its been good for me. I also really enjoy Costa Azurra.
I have longevity issues with it but I love it and always carry a travel atomiser to solve the problem.
u tryed gorse pal?
I've tried both. I find gorse to be a bit more sweet. It has lemon and lime which gives it a 7up kinda feel. And the coconut in gorse is not as realistic as VIW but I find it creamier and more palatable. Probably because I get annoyed by the smell of coconut, but not gorse. Personally I like Gorse more and it lasts longer
dior homme intense
What… Summer fragrance?
I plan on getting it after summer it smells very nice
Amouage - Beach Hut Man
Blue Talisman and/or Sospiro Vibrato
Look into Goldfields and Banks they got Everyday Summer day Bangers
Yeah they’re good I have Ingenious ginger and it smells phenomenal
i personally like Lovers but dior homme intense is great for the price and performance
just got a new job and wanted to splurge on a few good spring/summer scents this year, money isn't an issue. thanks!
There’s so many to choose from. PdM Greenley, LV Afternoon Swim, Imagination, or Pacific Chill. YSL Y. Bleu de Chanel edt. Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman. Mind Games Blockade. Gucci Guilty. Versace Eros Flame or Pour Homme. Acqua di Gio. Invictus. One Million Lucky. Roja Elysium. That list only scratches the surface. There’s plenty more.
Would you really rock Eros Flame in Summer? For me it leans more towards the colder months
Yeah I think sometimes that happens with frags for me. Idk why but I really see YSL MYSLF edp as a cold weather fragrance, but people say it’s for the spring and summer. I wore it this winter and it absolutely shined on my skin. Same with Sauvage- I couldn’t really stand it otherwise.
And now that you say it, I’ve never thought of Eros Flame as a cold weather fragrance. It always reminded me of Polo 67 (seriously, dry downs on my skin turn them exactly the same) and that’s def a summer frag. But you’re right. It would be too cloying in the high heat. I do think it would work though as long as it wasn’t overdone.
Colder months, don’t touch Eros flame in summer lol. Maybe a cool night
Blue talisman is my personal favorite. Gorgeous scent and has amazing projection and performance to back it up.
Is D&G Light Blue good?
LV Imagination is my favorite just to expensive.try mazaaj infused. It smells the same ans alot cheaper.
Where can you buy blue tailsman and LV IMAGINATION OR AFTERNOON SWIM. I don’t wanna pay 300$ for liquid
The best depends...
What do you have? I'd always suggest Versace Pour Homme for starters
I currently have YSL Y EDP and have had it for a while and want to explore more options, a real statement cologne is what I’m after.
Allure homme sport
Aqua di parma colonia essenza
So i wanna buy a new cologne for summer but dont really know that many or expert in choosing. Something fruity and strong. Thanks
Jpg le beau le parfum
Jpg paradise garden
Love Jean Paul Gautier Le Beau Le Parfum
YSL Y edp fits for what you're asking... fresh, fruity and mass appealing.
I recently tried Rasasi hawas black, if you think you'd be into pineapple and grapefruit... this one SLAPS for cheap.
Blockade & blue talisman have been my favorite fruity ones this summer
I love Blockade and French Defense, too.
Mango ice
Lately I've been wearing tom ford mandarino di amalfi, azzure lime, John varvatos artisan blu, atelier des ors riviera lazuli and as a dumb reach/gym scent jean lowe azure
Best colognes for summer
Key Considerations for Summer Colognes:
Freshness: Look for fragrances with citrus, aquatic, or green notes that evoke a sense of freshness and lightness. These scents are typically more pleasant in warm weather.
Longevity: Choose colognes that have good staying power without being overwhelming. Summer scents should be refreshing but not too heavy.
Sillage: Consider how far the scent projects. A lighter sillage is often preferred in summer to avoid being too overpowering in the heat.
Versatility: Opt for fragrances that can be worn casually during the day or dressed up for evening events.
Top Recommendations:
Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani: A classic aquatic fragrance with notes of bergamot, jasmine, and marine accords. It's refreshing and perfect for hot weather.
Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana: This scent features Sicilian lemon, apple, and cedarwood, offering a fruity and fresh profile that's ideal for summer.
Nautica Voyage: An affordable option with notes of green leaves, apple, and water lotus, providing a crisp and clean scent.
Versace Dylan Blue: A modern fragrance with fresh citrus notes combined with aquatic and woody elements, making it versatile for various occasions.
Chanel Allure Homme Sport: A sporty and fresh scent with notes of mandarin, sea notes, and white musk, perfect for an active summer lifestyle.
Takeaway: When selecting a summer cologne, prioritize freshness and lightness. Test the fragrances on your skin, as they can smell different once applied. Enjoy experimenting with different scents to find your perfect summer match!
