Nice Evening Scent (summer)?

post #1 of 13

Hello!

Just wondering if you could recommend me a nice evening scent for the summer?

Here are some I've been considering:

- Narciso Rodriguez "For Him"
- Dior "Homme"
- YSL "Rive Gauche"
- Gucci "Envy"
- Hanae Mori (EdT)

Would like something that stands out a little bit. Don't mind if' it's "heavy" (sweet etc.). Oh, I'm 22 years old if that helps. Have a pretty casual style when it comes to clothing!

Thanks!

I would also add Tom Ford's Black Orchid to that list! It has always struck me as a summertime evening frag!

Is that a women's frag? don't mind trying it, as long as it's not too feminine

From what you listed I would say Dior Homme.

Others I would recommend trying:

Etro Lemon Sorbet
Iceberg Twice Homme
Aqua di Parma Colonia or Colonia Assoluta or Colonia Intensa
YSL L'Homme
Marc Jacobs for Men
YSL Kouros (sprayed lightly)
YSL Live Jazz
YSL Opium pour Homme Eau d'Orient (Opium summer scent)
Guerlain Vetiver

Lucky no 6 is a great summer evening cheapo that is somewhat unique and casual
for sumething subtle that will keep 'em guessing, try Incanto by Ferragamo. It requires heavy application though, but it will envelope you in a wonderful manly aura.

All of the scents you mentioned are excellent choices, Dior Homme being one of my all-time favorite evening scents. I'd also like to second samplermike's recommendation of Millesime Imperial and Erolfa as well. Neither are really "heavy", but both are very nice for summer evenings.

That being said, petruccijc's recommendation of Marc Jacobs for Men is what I'd go for. Great stuff and absolutely perfect for hot nights.

Good luck!
