I don't know what the actual names of the notes are that I HATE in most the "fresh" summer colognes, but it is that metallic, plastic, sort of bitter edge? It makes me GAG , like hair spray. There are very few summer frags I like enough to have bought. One I do keep in my limited summer line-up is HUGO by Hugo Boss. (I believe it was their first?) It has a little of that bitter edge but is more mellow than not. Another one I pretty much like is New West (Aramis). After that they get pretty scarce.
Now I love Executive Man and have it in the A/S and EDT. Would you consider that (and Aventus of course) a summer cologne because it contains pineapple?
Of course I could just ignore etiquette and wear my favs all year round, even though most of them are classified as winter scents, but I like the idea of assigning certain ones to a season. I just need more ideas for the summer...
