Summer edt

[chas]

Can anyone recommend a great

smelling mens edt for hot weather to cover 'mones? I was thinking of a clean fresh smell - popular with the lasses

as well. Thanks.

I thought you had already named it.

Summer. By Burberry.

Hot weather in the UK in

November? In any case, I like Pheros for any season, and for commercial scents in summer I like Aqua di

Parma or Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte, among others. A lot depends on the age group you're trying to please. Now

that I think about it, you might be traveling to a warm climate, and if you're among the young, popular favorites

are the "cool water" type frags from Davidoff, Armani, Miyake and Jim's Burberry et al. If I'm not mistaken

Gegogi (in Hawaii) is partial to Burberry. I've read lots of success stories with this type of fragrance covering

Mones. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your

replies. You're right ID - there isn't much hot weather in the UK at the moment! I'll sniff some Burberry Summer

at the store. I've always wondered what Pheros smells like.

Remember cologne fragarance

perceptions are relative. Depends on your "impression" and the "impression" people around you get. May just want to

sniff a few (preferably on your skin) and see what enters your mind.

I'm in the midst of a multi-month long

evaluation of my collection of colognes and other scented products. So far out of almost 30 different products only

2 were called "summery" scents by my test subjects. Most of the rest just got "it's okay..." reactions, with no

"seasonal" associations at all...

Products range from varous pheromone products sold here, to Pheros, Nautica

Competition, Cool Water, Curve, and other "commercial" products, through a number of "specialty house" EO blends. I

must have over 40 different products to go through here. Figured it was about time I went through them. Where in the

world did I get them all...?????

Junkie!!

Though I can

relate. I have more than I'll ever wear and should probably get the riff-raff on ebay. You're right about

"impressions". I've had a woman reject my top 5 frags and absolutely love one that I consider 2nd tier at best.

Oh well.

"Summery" inevitably ends up being citrus or light floral, and/or whatever aroma-chemical it is that's

driving all the "aqua/water" scents. Not being a fan of recent fragrance productions I've given up smelling

anything in the stores. A great website/forum is Basenotes for anyone really serious about looking into commercial

products. Its searchable, and lot of reviews.

chas - Pheros is nothing like anything commercial, and far

superior in terms of attraction. The scent is complex, completely natural, and would leave a fragrance-counter girl

at a loss for words. If she actually knew something about fragrance she'd quit her job and run off with you to

learn more.
