Which of these summer frags would require less reapplication?

Thread Starter 
I live in Oregon so I don't have the luxury of testing longevity in hot weather. Our summer is roughly 3 months if we're lucky. Temps usually get between 75f-100f. So when I sample it's purely for smell. I have come to terms with reapplying a fragrance as I have Gucci pour homme ii so I'm used to it. Out of the following which one would I have to reapply the least? Plus when I look to reapply a frag it's usually right around the base depending how strong it smells so I try to not let it die completely.

Dior homme sport
Virgin island water
Philosykos
Millseime imperial

Thank you ahead of time to all who reply.

VIW is a longevity monster on my skin and gets my vote.

I actually get really good longevity out of Virgin Island Water (especially if I spray it under my shirt), so it gets my vote. I definitely get better longevity out of VIW than MI

DHS I think, it lasts almost longer than I want, I think the ginger grows tiresome. Philosykos is definitely the shortest lasting, unfortunately because it's the best smelling of the bunch. I'd go with VIW from those recommendations.

I've only tried VIW and MI from your list. I would say VIW. MI seems to evaporate from me after a few hours.
