Not quite a summer flanker, yet one of the better light flankers of a classic (in this case, Oriental) scent. Also somewhat wearable in summer or during warmer weather in general and slightly more versatile than a regular Oriental scents: Opium pour Homme Eau D'Orient (2006).Also, all the aforementioned flankers are OK, but especially the ones already pointed out by Hednic are recommendable.

Did you try YSL L'Homme Libre? I stumbled across it this summer, and got it cheap from EBAY. It is a nice Flanker but doesn't get any respect here on BN
