Can these be worn in spring?

Hi,

I've smelled Dolce & Gabbana L'homme and Prada Amber, both which I really liked.
Since spring is coming up, I'm wondering if these do well in spring? Maybe at least during night-time?

Thanks

Contrary to popular opinion, a lot of heavy orientals and ambers can be worn in summer if applied lightly, and actually "bloom" really well in the heat, especially the spicier ones. Prada is a light amber, so it's even safer for warm weather, and Dolce & Gabbana is pretty season-neutral, IMO. But if you're not sure, stick to nighttime. I've worn Opium and Obsession (lightly!) on warm summer nights and they fit like a glove.

Really, the only kind of scent I can't imagine wearing in hot weather is something sweet, powdery and "stuffy", like Le Male.
