Just checking this thread out again as it's now (a very hot) Summer in Australia!

@Hedonist - Wow... That's an interesting list of Summer frags! I'm sure if I wore Leather Oud at the moment, someone would call the fire brigade and toss a bucket of water over me!

I wore Allure Homme Sport today in 46 degree heat. Even I felt like I deserved that treatment.

Any suggestions for a day like today? I feel like (despite my 20 or so "summer" frags) that my wardrobe is ill equipped for such high temperature weather.
