Have you considered something like Carthusia Mediterraneo, Lost March Din Dan or Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua Di Colonia?
There's loads of fresh scents out there, ideal for Spring and Summer.

Seems like you know exactly what you're looking for!

Best advice I can give you is to try stepping outside your comfort zone, you never know where you may find a gem!

I see Eau Sauvage on your list. I was going to recommend that one. Guerlain Vetiver is another one I think highly of.

I don't have much experience with the men's or women's versions, but the consensus around here seems to be that the women's version is the better one.

When the weather warms, I plan the core of my rotation consisting of Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive and Bleecker St, Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Platinum Egoiste.

I like your advice. el_payo - there's so much more out there than department store frags. Try some, I think it will open up a new world that you didn't even know existed.

I guess I should list my spring/summer favorites and introduce you to the other world I want you to discover.

I have to agree with m.david that Versace Pour Homme and Mugler Cologne are great. I'll add L'Eau D'Issey to the list. Light Blue doesn't get a lot of love around here, but I have it and enjoy wearing it.
