1) Herba Fresca - Guerlain
This stuff is the greatest - refreshing, cooling and an instant pick-me-up.

2) Mandarine-Basilic - Guerlain
One of the best orange scents and very refreshing

3) Navegar - l'Artisane
One of the best aquatics on the market. Not traditional - odd, even - but I find it very refreshing

4) Eau de Caron Forte - Caron
Fruity and very refreshing, but a bit more formal than the others.

There's so many I love to wear in summer, but in terms of an intensely refreshing effect, perhaps:
1. Selection Verte
2. Trumper's West Indian Lime
3. Guerlain Imperiale, Farina Gegenüber, Monsieur Balmain

These have a certain initial zing about them, which is not contained by soft neroli, white florals or such. SV has the best skin cooling effect ever (Fath Green Water is very good too, but more crudely minty). Trumper Lime is the best zingy-sour-fresh lime, very short lived though. Imperiale and Farina are strong on the hesperides for a good bracing effect, and M. Balmain has a great and relatively lasting super invigorating yellow lemon.

Balle de Match and Guerlain Pamplelune are super grapefruits, which I'll have to buy some day as well.

Boss in Motion - yeah, yeah, I know. What can I say, it's a goofy bottle for a silly little scent but I like it.

For me it's:
-Molinard's Vetyver (although I'm with Bossanova Boy and wear Caswell-Massey Vetyver for refreshment too)
-Acqua di Parma Colonia
-Guerlain's Vetiver

I think there are a few others that come close, but those are the top three.
