Which of these two Versace fragrances do you think is better for guys in the summer and why?
I like both but some people seem to really love Eau Fraiche while hating Pour Homme. What are the differences and what is your opinion??

Eau Fraiche is Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue for Women with a bit of starfruit in the topnotes. The license was sold when it was expiring for D&G. If you want to smell like a few million teenage girls, go right ahead.

Pour Homme is a classy, sexy fragrance. It builds on the fresh aquatic woody basis not unlike that found in Chanel Allure Homme Sport. Pour Homme is a bit more herbal than AHS, with less musk and no tonka.

I think either can be used for summer. Wear whatever YOU like.

Versace Pour Homme for me. Its a bit more mature and sexier than the fruity Eau Fraiche. Although EF isn't too shabby either.

I'd go with Eau Fraiche... I like the fruitiness to it. Pour Homme I think is just boring.

Eau Fraiche for me! It's a fun, light, upbeat fragrance. Pour Homme is alright too, but I just don't find it as appealing as Eau Fraiche.

Sokkou is right, it is very similar to D&G Light Blue for women, but they gave it a more masculine metallic edge. Light Blue was always unisex to my nose, and it always smelled so good to me, so a male marketed version was more acceptable to my male ego when I first started this fragrance hobby.

Honestly though, if you like both, get both! They're different enough to have both in your collection! .

I absolutely love Eau Fraiche. To me its the perfect summer frag. Light and fruity with a masculine edge, great sillage and staying power on me.

I'm not taking anything away from Pour Homme though, its still a very good scent in my eyes.

I have Eau Fraiche and I love it but it seems a bit hollow. I didn't give Pour Homme a proper try yet so I can't really say anything about that. As everyone else says, it's your choice. Everyone has their own taste
