Open by Roger & Gallet in the Summer?

I recently acquired Open and I love the scent. However I am a little worried it might not be a summer/warm weather scent.

Has anyone tried this out in the summer/warmer months? Can it be pulled off?

If not, can anyone recommend a scent that is comparable but better suited for warmer weather? I just blind bought Sander for Men based on a some reviews which recommended it as a dry woody scent better suited for summer. Haven't gotten it yet.

It's good at any time of the year IMO.

I have used Open in all weathers and seasons. It's a good all-rounder

Own it, love it, and I always use it modestly, especially in warm weather. Enjoy! It's fine stuff, a very nice, somewhat affordable addition to any collection. I strongly suspect that any day now it will go from easily available online to rare, expensive, haphazardly reformulated, and "gee I wish I could find a good bottle cheap." Good advice, gents: jump on it now.

Welcome to Basenotes!

In my looking into more old school and barbershop frags, Open kept showing up here and there. After finding it online for under $20 for a big bottle, I took the plunge. I'm happy I did too! This has the old school, powerhouse vibe that I love. It has notes reminiscent of Quorum, Aramis, Paco Rabanne and Rive Gauche in there. Very nice indeed. I am planning on wearing this year round and just going very easier on the trigger in the summer.

If you can survive the top notes, it should be fine in summer.
