Help me to build my summer collection

Hey,
I'm glad to be here, this is my first post
I want to get new fragrances for the summer.
This is what on my shelf:
YSL Body kouros, Terre D'Hermes, Bvlgari Soir, Mugler Single Malt, Black XS.
Got my taste? I like powerful and well blended smells
What do you suggest for me for the summer time?
What about Bvlgari Aqva, Burberry London, YSL LNDL and Mugler Ice Men?
I'm opened to any suggestion, just keep me away from soft perfumes.
Thanks.

I meant 212 Men. I've never tried 212 Sexy, but do have a bottle of 212 Men on Ice, which is also a pleasant summer version of 212 Men. I would recomend the original version for starters.

You'd better get your hands on some good entry-level traditional colognes like RG Extra Vieille, Eau du Coq, and Cologne Sologne.

My favourite hot day scent right now is YSL Live Jazz. It's so amazingly refreshing - mint and citrus. Wonderful stuff.

Versace Pour Homme is pretty nice in the summer too.

Capucci pour Homme by Roberto Capucci merits your consideration!

I second YSL Jazz. I also like Guerlain Vetiver (unless it is really hot), Monsieur Balmain, Helen Vetiver and Rum (hard to find, but very smooth and refreshing), Acqua di Parma Colonia and when I'm going really casual - Pinaud Clubman for that fresh from the barbershop feel.

Hmmm...Sounds good Already!! Try - Demeters - Laundry...hah, is actually very perennial a summer-like.

Also, Diptyque's Eau-Lente is the epitome of Summer in my opinion!!

Good Luck!

I recommend either Thierry Mugler Cologne or Guerlain Vetiver. Those, in my novice opinion, are must-haves, and they seem to fit your taste quite well.
