Summer rotation 2013

[Schad]

This is where I'm at now for summer. Hate being stinky BO guy in summer so important to have good scent this time of year. In fact I sometimes spray more if know going to be day where I'm gonna sweat.

Big on my rotation as of now:

Bond No 9 Eau de New York. Very pleasant citrus with good sillage and longevity.

Bond No 9 Bleecker St. Already got a compliment on this one. Excellent for summer!

Polo Black. Not on same level as the two above but a nice scent when I want to be a bit more under the radar.

Creed Millesime Imperiale. Amazing summer scent. Must have IMO.

Others that might get into rotation:
Geranium pour Monsieur by Frederick Malle.
GIT by Creed (of course)
Cartier Eau de Cartier Concentree

And as mentioned in a prior thread, I am doing more sprays just more evenly distributed and its working like a charm! One to each flank and one to wrist (and dab to other wrist an maybe sides of neck). Great scent aura with only 3 sprays. Maybe if going out at night might do an extra spray to other wrist and dab each wrist to same side neck for total of 4 sprays.

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Penhaligon's Endymion
Floris Santal
Dior Eau Sauvage

That is the extent of my rather staid Frag collection

I don't believe that a nice light summer cologne will stop you to stink up the room at the end of the day, a good deodorant just might.
This summer I'll try to abuse more cents like Acqua di Parma, Astier de Villatte Eau Fugace, O&C, Diptyque L'Eau Du Trente-Quatre, Houbigant H pour hommes Lavande 90°, LV Acqua di Colonia, Parfums de Nicolaï Haute Provence, Eva and Colonia Russa and stuff thtat I have from Il Profumo and Maître.

 

[Schad]

Agree with that LR. I know guys who do cologne only no deodorant and smell of horrible BO.

Bond No 9 Eau de New York. Very pleasant citrus with good sillage and longevity.

What amount of longevity? Can you get 6 hours from it?

Seems like most summer scents I've tried are gone by lunch.

 

[Schad]

Yea well over 6 hrs. There are decants out there worth sampling.

Lately, I've been into some neroli scents and have added them to my rotation of the standards of Creed GIT and Millessime Imperial, Bond no. 9, chez bond; on rainy days, I use Atelier Cologne Vetiver Fatal or Chanel Sycomore; for sunny days, I use AdiP Mirto di Panarea, or my newest neroli scents, Atelier Cologne Grand Neroli, or TF Neroli Portofino.
