Your Summer Rotation

Talk to me in April.

Talk to me in July

No seasonal rotation to speak of.

Talk to me NOW

Guerlain Homme L'Eau
Nautical Voyage
Menthe Fraiche
Beyond Paradise Men
Millesime Imperial
L'Eau Froide
Issey Miyake Summer 2009
Pi Neo Tropical Paradise
Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo
Dior Homme Sport
Bleu

And I'll probably also wear Adventure Quasar this summer as I'm finding its a nice, fresh fruity aquatic that's different from the rest.

Since I work in air-conditioned spaces and it almost never gets too hot in my corner of the universe, if it's in my wardrobe, it may be worn in summer.

I might wear just about anything from my collection this summer, but these are the ones that will be getting a bit more usage than the others:


Creed - Jardin d'Amalfi
Creed - Virgin Island Water
Kenneth Cole - Black
Kenneth Cole - Reaction
Bond No. 9 - Chez Bond
Bond No. 9 -Eau de New York
Bond No. 9 - Bleecker Street
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
Chanel - Allure Homme Sport
Chanel - Allure Homme Edition Blanche
Versace Man - Eau Fraiche
Dior Homme Sport 2008
Dior Homme Sport 2012
Nautica Voyage
Mugler Cologne
Heeley - Agarwood
Heeley - Sel Marin
Monsieur Balmain
Armani - Acqua di Gio
by Kilian - Straight to Heaven

But, pretty much anything in my collection is fair game.

Definitely Dior Homme Sport, Acqua Di Gio Essenza, Creed Aventus, Chanel's Edition Blanche, and any of my other fragrances with few applications of spray.

So far, this spring and summer, I'm probably going to be wearing;

Costume National 21
Gris Clair
Five O'Clock Au Gingembre
Lumiere Noire Pour Homme
L'Ombre Dans L'Eau
Aventus
Royal Oud
Lyric Man
Delicious Night
Midnight in Paris EdP
1270
al02


I'm contemplating the possibility of picking up Millesime Imperial or Rose 31 while I'm here in the States as well for the warmer weather.

Talk to me tomorrow. No telling what I might wear!

I dont like summer fragrances.... I prefer cold weather fragrance.

Ask me now - It's mid Summer here!

I've been wearing:

Hermes Vetiver Tonka
Habit Rouge EDP (Vintage)
FM Portrait of a Lady
HdP Casanova 1725
Declaration Essence
Agar Aura Kalbar Koh (Borneo pure oud oil)
Diptyque Philosykos EDP
Diptyque Tam Dao

What happened to Spring?

Don't worry about it! (new smiley?)

Not really a seasonal rotation type of guy but I just got my Virgin Island Water in the mail today for my summer signature scent if I ever had one.

Sous le Vent
L'Heure Fougueuse
Granville
Eau de Guerlain / Imperiale / du Coq / du Parfumeur
Santal Noble
Tiffany for Men
Myrrhe et Delires
Philtre d'Amour
Noir Epices
Geranium Pour Monsieur
Attrape Couer
Nicolai Pour Homme
Eau de Patou
Patou Pour Homme
Eau Lente
Opus VI
Ubar

Wore these a lot last summer.

I'm in Michigan as well!
Bleu
ADG - I'm thinking of picking of essenza. But not sure
Prada Luna rossa
DG pour homme vintage
DG light blue
Tom ford for men
Tom ford grey vetiver
Possibly GPHII and DHS
And Armani code and dior homme for nighttime

undoubtedly, i will be using a lot of virgin island water this summer

versace fraiche has gotten the most usage of all my bottles in from may to september 2012.

I agree waaaaaayyyy to early for this post. BUT I'm bored so what the heck:

Aventus
MI
Edition Blanche
Red Vetyver

Azemour les Orangers
Molecule 01
Preparation Parfumee
Pure White Cologne
L' Eau Froide
Acompora Musc
Nightscape
Jardin Sur le Toit
Eau de Orange Verte Concentree
Aventus
Tokyo Bloom
Monsieur Givenchy

For the moment (GPH 2 is in my spring rotation)
Regular work use: Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte, Creed Selection Verte & MI, Chanel AH Edition Blanche;
Very hot days so Creed Bois de Cedrat; Citrus Bigarrade;
Cooler summer days: Creed Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse;
Leisure: Creed Cheverefeuille and Royal Delight, Lubin Neuve,
Summer evenings: SMN Melograno, Lubin L, Penhaligons Castille (more conservative);
Special Occasion evening: Creed Windsor;
Romantic evening: Jo Malone Red Roses;
All this is varied according to my mood and other spontaneous impulses. As I travel a lot to different climates, no seasonal rotation is ever completely mothballed.

Another Great one.

I've only really got ADG and Cool Water for summer, sampled the likes of GPHII and Versace PH and might end up buying 50ml bottles soon.

Though I am not that specific to wear only lighter, more casual, more aquatic, citrus-based etc. scents during summer, some of my staple fragrances from my wardrobe for summer wear are, usually: Kenzo pour Homme, L'Erbolario Neroli, Tesori d'Oriente Marrakesh Neroli & Cardamomo, Fahrenheit 32, Trussardi Jeans, some EDC from the Fraicheur Vegetale product line by Yves Rocher, Eau Sauvage (1966), Roberto Capucci pour Homme.

Does Finland ever get hot?? lol

No, not really.

I was thinking about travelling to Italy when I typed that list.

For Spring (and summer); some new purchases I hardly tried yet during winter:

- Horizon: Guy Laroche
- Dior Homme Sport: Dior
- Cool Water (vintage): Davidoff
- Monsieur Balmain: Balmain
- Esencia: Loewe
- Vetiver Sport: Guerlain

Armani Eau pour Homme
YSL pour Homme
Boucheron pour Homme EDP
Blenheim Bouquet
Eau de 4 Voleurs
L'Eau par Kenzo PH
L'eau D'Issey PH
Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee
Declaration Cologne
AdP Arancia di Capri
R&G Jean Marie Farina
Lacoste Essential
Paul Smith for Men

If I travel somewhere this year where the stores have Eau de Rochas pour Homme, I'm getting a bottle.

Might also get O de Lancome and Kenzo Homme Sport

And I think I need to re-evaluate Live Jazz once it is a little warmer here, it has been a long time since I smelt it and my sense of smell has definitely become more "tuned" since then.

Everything in the wardrobe - same as any other time of year .

Here in Northern Ireland, we don't really do summer. We just have slightly warmer rain :\\

It's snowy and feels like 13f with the wind, but I've got "Carolina on my mind"...
