Looking for summer hits

I have several summer fragrances. Some I like. Some don't really impress me. I have (and sometimes wear) Izod, Mustang Blue, Tommy Bahama Very Cool, and Nautica Oceans. These all seem to me to be very, very similar. I own, but don't care for Issey Miyake Pour Homme and D & G Light Blue (too floral), but I like Brookes Bros Gentleman and Fahrenheit 32 (too me both floral). I also like Ferragamo Subtil and Bvlgari Extreme. I sometimes wear Bijan Style, Ecko, Lacoste Essential, and Tremendous. Anything you may suggest based on my preferences? I don't know about you, but the fall and winter fragrances seem so much better (personal preference, I guess).

Try:

Aqua Fahrenheit by Christian Dior - This is a considerably toned down version of the original, masterpiece Fahrenheit. No negative connotation is implied or should be taken; rather, this is a distinctive composition, somewhat bright and fresh, with ties to the original.
Initially, one is treated to a blast of sparkling grapefruit, with its sour greenness, tempered by a hint of sweetness from the mandarin. This invigorating, citrus melange is drawn to the heart by a nascent mint. Here, in the heart, the cool spearmint comes into its own with its sweet, green facets, and commingles with violet leaf, with its intense freshness and a hint of cucumber. Basil infuses the refreshing blend with a lively dusting of its lemon-like, savory herb. A very faint undercurrent of petro/gasoline can be sensed. Transitioning to the base, a rather ordinary, woods accord presents, and interplays with a light, almost airy, Haitian vetiver as well as a subtle leather. A placid drydown ensues. This high-quality composition is bright and fresh, and should prove to be very versatile. Having average projection and longevity, this scent will, indeed, shine in the spring, summer and fall.

Since you wear Ecko, my fave of the summer is Nuit Etoilee-Annick Goutal, a subtil green scent with a hint of mint, might be to your liking.

Cheers Rex
