Fahrenheit Summer by Christian Dior

Like the original but better in my view. I found the 'plain' Fahrenheit was occasionally cloying and the drydown was too heavy. This Summer version lightens it but doesn't wash out all of the lovely notes from the original, plus it has staying power which I find unusual in a more zesty fragrance. If your not 100% convinced about the original but quite like the concept, give this a try.

Sander for Man by Jil Sander

Quite simply a divine fragrance which works well as both a daytime and an evening scent, depending on how much you spray on. I absolutely love it, it is one of the most distinctive modern 'urban' fragrances available in my view, an intense fusion of notes which combine in quietly masculine way. The bottle and packaging are a treat too. It seems to be getting easier to get hold of - I notice Harvey Nicolls stock it - so there's no excuse not to try it!

Eau Dynamisante by Clarins

This is an excellent fragrance, one of my favourite everyday scents. It's very inoffensive, but equally it's not bland. A true unisex fragrance which is neither sweet nor sickly like the ubiquitous ck one, this scent has a lovely, very natural smelling woody drydown, and a warm freshness to it. I'm not convinced about the firming claims on the bottle though!
