"best" cologne for brutally hot, humid weather

I honestly laughed a bit when I saw this ;-) However, this morning when deciding what fragrance to wear, I remembered what you said...and decided to give it a shot today. Today was the warmest day we've had and I'm guessing it topped out at 88-ish with a seemingly high humidity level. I've worn this frag before and really enjoyed it quite a bit. So, today at the office I smelled nice, and towards the end of the day it started to fade. Now the cool part of this story is that today at my son's baseball practice (I'm the pitching coach for the team), I was working with a couple pitchers and trying to get their mechanics worked out and suddenly got a wonderful whiff of Kouros! My sweat reactivated this frag today and it smelled great.
When I got home even my wife said, "you smell nice...what is that?" The moral of this story is that BingeAndPurge was correct...thanks for the tip!!
I'll suggest Poraso Splash, Aqua Velva, Osage Rub. Anything with a menthol kick.
Haha I am glad you enjoyed it, but I was, in fact, joking, and thought I'd get some remark about being insane for suggesting it. I like to randomly throw Kouros around in threads that are looking for recommendations because it is so polarizing and can be difficult to wear. I am glad you experimented with it and it worked out because I may have to give it a shot tomorrow myself.
Currently $20/100ml with free shipping from Amazon
Tobacco Vanile by Tom Ford. God knows I love the stuff to death and am almost out. I have an allergic reaction to most other colognes but not this one. ID BUY SOME IF I HAD THE CHANCE...PM ME!

B&B vendor Archefire sells 4ml decants of this for $11. Look for him under the vendor section.
Ya, this is like one of the best fragrance deals I've seen on the net. $20 for a 3.4 oz bottle of Nautica Voyage is an amazing deal. Considering this has a fabulous scent and lasts a long time.
Well, OV does not even compare with NP. After 10 hours I could still faintly smell OV on my skin and then I went for a 5 mile run. When I returned there was nothing, zilch, nada. It was as though the little that was there before my run was all washed off by my sweat.
I had the exact opposite experience with OV the other day.
No, but I will recommend Guerlain Vetiver Pour Elle. Hands down one of the best summer time frags.
Maybe it is stronger on your skin. How many hours after initial application did you begin your strenuous activity? Have you done a comparison with Tom Ford Neroli Portofino?
Saw a recommendation for Nautica Voyage earlier in this thread. I stopped by Ulta and while it smelled alright acqua di gio just smelled better IMO. Anyone able to compare these scents? I'm thinking about picking up the 1.7oz bottle from Amazon. While not as good a price as the $20 3.4oz the smaller bottle would be enough to try and it's only $15 so easier to swallow if I don't like the scent.
The price difference on Amazon between the 1.7 and 3.4 for Nautica Voyage is only $2. I have smelled Voyage and Aqua di Gio and I think Voyage is better. Aqua di Gio is played out in my opinion. Everyone wears it.

It may have been $15 when you looked. Fragrance prices fluctuate like crazy on Amazon. I do not know why....
LOL! L'air du desert Marocain (spicy sauna desert campfire smell)
Terre D'Hermes (seems to cut through anything for me)
Creed Zeste Pamplemousse. (Refreshing realistic grapefruit with clean white flowers)

How does it compare to Lubin's Vetiver?
I've been wearing Wild Fern a lot lately, and it does very well in the heat.
It may be expensive, but at least it smells expensive.
