Need a fragrance to add to my rotation

Thread Starter 
Once I've got rid of all the fragrances I'm not that keen on, I'm looking to have a rotation of 7 fragrances all year round.

Cool Water - Summer/Night
Allure Homme Sport/Acqua Di Gio Essenza - Summer/Day
Versace Man Eau Fraiche - Summer/Day
La Nuit De L'Homme - Winter/Day & Night
Le Male - Winter/Night
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme - Winter/Day

1 Million has been in my collection for a while but I'd like to replace it. I suppose I'm looking for another night time summer fragrance, but am open to suggestions. If it's more versatile then that's better!

Use the 6 fragrances above as an indicator of my tastes. My current wardrobe is up to date but I wont be replacing a few of those once they're empty.

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys, looking for a night time summer fragrances really though. That's what it should be first and foremost, if it's more versatile then great.

I've owned DHS and Prada Amber and tried all of the rest (apart from Burberry London).

DHS and Prada Amber are the only ones I'd consider buying (again).

For night time summer I would recommend:

Designer:
Midnight in Paris
Gucci Pour Homme II
Pure Havane

Niche
Creed Aventus
Bond no. 9 Hamptons/Creed Silver Mountain Water

All are pretty versatile as well.

You might want to check out Millesime Imperial. Bought my first bottle this year in the spring and have gone through half of it (i.e. about 60ml). It's great in the summer!

MI is killer, I'll 2nd that. It seems like you favor designers, so I'll also recommend:

Rochas man
Dior Homme Sport
Monte Blanc Individuel
Bleu de Chanel
Chanel Platinum Egoiste

I don't know really. One that smells nice! I've done a lot of sampling over the last year so fancied some fresh opinions.

Chanel Platinum Egoiste. It's great for any season/occasion. Also would add Dior Homme which is great for colder weather (both day/night)

I did have CPE but I'm not a fan of metallic notes, I don't hate it, just not mad about it.

Gucci PH II I have tried, just puts me off that it's so close to the skin!

It's more of a night time winter, but I wore Pure Malt this entire summer (night and day).

Dior Homme Intense, Millesime Imperial, Rue 21 Metro Black, D&G The One would all be great for a summer evening.
