Hello,

I'm currently running out of juice on my Coolwater and need some recommedations for Men's Summer Colognes. I would appreciate if someone can throw their best suggestions and I'm looking for one office wear fragrance easy on the nose but at the same time not too light and one casual for evenings or something that can be used for office environemtn as well. Some of the fragrance that I have and like more are Bvlgari Aqua, Coolwater, Brit for men, Unbound by Halston, Envy, Gucci pH. I'm certainly not into floral scents.

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Do try Thierry Mugler Cologne and Terre d'Hermes. Both sparkle in the summer sunshine.

No, it's the original D&G PH launched in 1994. The one I'm talking about is just released D&G Light Blue PH. It's available at Nordstrom, Sephora, Bloomingdales, Saks etc.
