Help me choose a scent for spring/summer

Thread Starter 
Hey guys,

I'm looking for a new scent for the spring/summer. Right now all I have is a Terre d' Hermes.

I'm attending university right now, so I'd love a scent popular with the women. I'm looking for a fresh scent, maybe a little sweet (fruity, vanilla etc.) with good longevity and a present but not overpowering smell.

After looking through some threads, here are the scents I was thinking of:

Hugo Boss Bottled (No. 6)
Versace Pour Homme
Versace Man Eau Fraiche
Bowling Green (Geoffrey Beene)
YSL L' Homme
YSL Kouros Sport
Ferregamo Subtil Pour Homme

If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks guys!

Out of those, I'd take YSL L'Homme hands-down. Another popular fruity scent is Calvin Klein Euphoria, but it really doesn't compare to YSL.

Go to Marshalls and see if you can find Azzaro Now. This stuff is simply fantastic and dirt cheap at $14.99 for 1.7 oz. at the store I've mentioned. I don't see how anyone can dislike this one unless they got a bad bottle. Z by Ermenegildo Zegna would also be a good choice but not sure if it has vanilla in it. You'll probably have to overspray on this one or spray on your clothes for best results. These would be great choices for the spring and summer.

I'm at university and also have Boss Bottled. I really like it but everyone seems to have it. A few times people have said to me 'mmmm you smell like so and so'

Be unique and get something the rest of the gang doesn't wear. Shell out a couple of extra bucks and be happy you don't smell like everyone else.

Puro Lino
Balle Match by Patricia di Nicolai
Bigarade Concentree by Frederick Malle
Eau Radieuse by Humiecki and Graef

I really like man eau fraiche. Just wish someone had it for swap! But it can be found for fairly cheap.

Paco Rabanne "Gold" is fruity, it's fairly new too, so not everyone smells like it...
Though I personally am not very much into fruity scents, I have to say this one
was really nice, and as a woman I'd like a man to smell like it...

Creed Silver Mountain Water (rather expensive, however)

Acqua di Parma Colonia (good stuff, and not too too popular) I wore this in grad school and the ladies loved it.
