Hey guys,

I am currently really into sweet smelling fragrances (1 million, black xs, le male, etc)

I was wondering if there were any sweet frags for the summer that won't kill anyone cause of cloying-ness.

Also, are there any aquatic/sweet scents?

thanksss

Fruity aquatic: Paradox by Jacomo. I'm not much into aquatics, but this seems to be a favorite of perfume critic Luca Turin. Unfortunately, while it is cheap, it is difficult to find. Beyond Paradise for men would probably qualify as well, though it is not as sweet as Paradox.

Splurge a little and get some Creed Millesime Imperial.

For a cheapie, Usher's UR for men (silver bottle) would fit. It's a sweet, green type scent that kinda reminds me of a sweeter spring or summer type version of Creed's Himalaya.

Also, Dior's Fahrenheit 32 might work. It's fresh with orange blossom on the top, but has a sweet vanilla base. This one can work year round, but I prefer it most in spring because of its floral notes. (the vanilla base might get a bit cloying in extremely warm weather though).

Acqua Di Gio isn't sweet in the sugary sense. It's sweet in the "girls compliment you all day erryday" factor. I recommend that one. Also Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey.
