Your favourite fresh scent?

While I know this isn't a genre that gets alot of love around here, I still think it's an interesting concept.

As stereotypical as it may be... my favourite is Cool Water. Other fresh fragrances I've tried include AdG, Polo Blue, 212, pretty much all the cK line and a few others.
Honestly, all of these bored me to death, while I love CW.

Future fresh scents I plan to check out are Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Platinum Egoiste.

A note on the Platinum Egoiste: I recently tried Davidoff's Champion, which I've seen being compared to PE... I hope not, Champion was one of the most boring fragrances I've tried.

While I haven't tried Davidoff Champion, Platinum Egoiste is an aromatic fougere and not what I would consider a fresh fragrance, it's rather herbal (fern-dominant). Pasha de Cartier is a close cousin.

I don't have much that I would consider fresh, I have a bottle of Ralph Lauren Romance Silver that has a ton of memories attached to it, and Sean John Unforgivable which was my first purchase as a fragrance enthusiast. My favorite fresh, clean scent would probably be Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, a wonderful unisex fragrance with mango and soft woods, uplifting in the wintertime and appropriately restrained in summer.

My favourite fresh scent is Millesime Imperial. The drydown is amazing. It's quality from top to bottom. Silver Mountain Water is close behind, but sometimes I get too much tea from it. Millesime feels classier.

Check out Nautica Voyage. I think that's a good fresh scent and it's cheap. I've been through a whole bottle!

It's pretty hard to say, since all my Spring/Summer scents are rather fresh. But as for right now, I really enjoy these:

Creed's SMW
Guerlain's Mandarine Basilic
Kenzo's Power
Hermes Un Jardin Sur le Nil
