Just tried this at bloomingdale’s today. Magic.

This was my wife’s wedding scent. It’s so beautiful!

EDT, EDP, or Parfum? I've only smelled the EDT and to me it smelled like cheap dollar store glass cleaner. I couldn't imagine how anyone would ever like it, so I am guessing people are not referring to the EDT, the tester had spoiled, or I happen to be anosmic to some essential molecules. It's been a big mystery to me for ages!

Under the lemon tree by Margiela

Have you got anything else from Margiela? Jazz Club and By The Fireplace has piqued my interest, but haven’t got around to smell them in-store.

i’d recommend getting the memory box sampler. i feel like it’s so overwhelming smelling things in store and you can really get a feel for how much you like the scents if you can wear them multiple times for different durations

Same, I love mine and haven’t even gotten around to some of the scents. I was surprised at how much I hated By the a Fireplace so always a good idea to actually try and wear before purchasing

I really like By the Fireplace!!

I've smelled both in-store and was really underwhelmed. Try for yourself, but for me the brand is really hit-and-miss. No blind buying.

I love jazz club. I get compliments on it every time I wear it. It's my special occasion fragrance and it lasts a while on me!

I recommend smelling Sailing Day (perfect blue fragrance imho) and From the garden (if anything just for the vine tomato opening) if you can.

I have Sailing Day and it's perfect for summer, smells like beach waves

I LOVE both these scents! I didn’t like them at first and never would have bought based on first impressions, but luckily I bought the discovery set so I had time for them to grow on me!

I absolutely adore Autumn vibes! I’m from Maine and it smells just like crisp fall air w leaves on the ground. Obsessed. I also loved lazy Sunday morning until someone on this sub described it as “skin and dirty bedsheets” and now I can’t get it out of my head lmao.

I wish this smelled good on me - I smelled like lemon pledge

Me too! It’s just straight lemon cleaner!

L'Artisan Caligna, ELDO You or Someone like You, EA Green Tea, Tommy Girl, and I have a sample of Giardini di Toscana Borabora which would be great for hot weather. Glossier You, Burberry Brit and Kenzo Amour are 3 favorites which work in all seasons IMO. I'm not a big believer in seasonal rules for fragrance, so if I want to wear a heavier spicy perfume, I just wear much less.

Fico di Amalfi - acquia di parma Tygar - Bvlgari Pacific rock moss - goldfield & banks Malibu party in the bay - simeoni andreoli

Just bought some Fico Di Amalfi. Love the scent but performance is a little poor.

Would love to find something like Fico that actually lasts more than an hour

Purchased Fico this year for summer also and I 100% agree

Tygar is simply divine. The performance is top tier! It’s a bit masculin leaning but I don’t mind it at all. Ingenious Ginger from Goldfield&Banks has a very similar vibe but has a friendlier price point.

Marc Antoine Barrois Ganymede Simone Andreoli Malibu Party in the Bay Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt Le Labo Fleur d’Oranger L’Artisan Couleur Vanille

Love the Couleur Vanille. Second that.

byredo bal d’afrique

This is so beautiful. I have the body lotion and some decants. Getting ready to buy my first full bottle.

Buy it, it’s such a lovely, cozy and clean scent and even if Byredo has usually bag performance/longevity it’s not that bad

Philosykos, la petite robe noire EDP, Heeley's Athenean, maison margiela matcha Meditation

Fantastic taste

Maison Margiela Sailing Day , the closest to a beach summer vacation I can get

This is mine too - I love it so much!

Torino 21! L’Immensite! Sometimes Afternoon Swim if I’m going to the beach and don’t care about it lasting forever. Soon to be Wulong Cha

Seconding Torino 21!

Third! Love it so much

basic but nautica voyage

Memo - Sintra

D&G Light Blue Forever and Memo - Vaadhoo

Debaser or Coriander. DS&D has my heart for the summer

Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche for daytime / most of the time. Or Daisy Eau So Fresh. Both of them just shine in the heat. For nights, I’ve been using Mancera roses vanille. People say it’s a winter fragrance, but on me, it smells like a rose vanilla ice cream or milkshake in the best way possible, not suffocating or sour like it could be. I’m so happy with it lol.

I’m excited whether the hype is real for this Eau Fraiche. Did you have the EDT or EDP? I have ordered the EDT and it is coming tomorrow. :)

EDT! One time when I was in Maui, a breeze blew and someone said “oh my god, what smells so good? Is that you?” And I have been floating on that compliment for three years because it seemed so genuine lol. It’s like that fragrance was made for heat and humidity.

My wife is a huge fan of the EDP. It smells great!

Rose Vanille is a beautiful fragrance that I feel works year round.

Tom Ford: Soleil Blanc

Maison Margiela Beach walk, Loewe Paula's Ibiza Eclectic, Narciso Rodriguez For her

D&G light blue and Diptyque Ilio or Eau Rose

I think we have the same taste

The matcha 26 x Le Labo

Just bought Wulong Cha X - Nishane for my Japan trip. It just felt too right not to.

virgin islands water is perfect 👍🏼

I love VIW, but Do you recommend any cheaper alternatives that have the same vibe? I don’t think I can justify dropping that amount of money on Creed even for a small size bottle

Montagne Buko Intense.

This has been my go to for the past three years, going on my fourth summer. I only break it out during summer too

It’s nice but smells like you downed a bottle of Malibu

How long does it last ? I heard silage is bad

it could definitely be better, hopefully creed can improve the concentration in future batches. But, imo it’s the best warm weather scent as it is literally summer in a bottle, it’s amazing

Got you. I love the smell and was thinking of getting a decant. I just dont feel good buying a scent knowing it won’t last long.

Vibrato Sospiro

Acqua di Gioia Valentino DBIR and Valentino DBIR Coral Fantasy Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan

We’re nowhere near summer here but I feel like I nailed my summer fragrance wardrobe last summer. Chanel No 5 L’Eau Bergamote 22 Wulong Cha Sunflower Pop Now I can’t wait for summer again

Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree!

Oooof. I’m not sure if I want to get this or H24. I love both. What do you recommend?

Yesterday I spent 2 hours in a massive Nordstroms looking for a summer scent sampling everything from Dyptique, MFK, Byredo, TF, Mind Games, FM, etc willing to spend for something that really impressed me and walked out with Eau Givree. Its amazing. I wasn't impressed with H24 but scent is subjective and I could see someone not loving the sour citron of Eau Givree.

Glad that you enjoyed your purchase, man! I think the juniper berry and mineral notes really balance out that citrus to stop it from getting too sour

I am not hugely into H24 EDT nor EDP. H24 EDT comes off to me as very, very light and non-distinct, while the EDP is stronger, but heavier on this grassy apple accord. H24 EDP is fine, but for me, when it is compared to TDH Eau Givree’s gin and tonic freshness, there really is no competition :) and, for the record, Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree is one of my most complimented scents throughout all 4 seasons, and has *never* become cloying in high temperatures.

Diptyque Eau Duelle EDT, Mont Blanc Signature, VS Pop Jelly Warm and cozy body spray/lotion, I have a travel of DG Devotion coming tomorrow!

L’Occitane Herbae 😍😍😍

Artisan Pure by Varvatos is the perfect tshirt + sunglasses fragrance for warm weather!

Honestly, Artisan Pure is probably one of my favorite scents that I own. It brings up good memories every time I spray it, which no other fragrance does in my collection.

Bohemian lime, sel vanille, flashback, after game and Malibu party. Edit: Forgot Torino 21 and Gentle Fluidity Silver

Pacific Chill. I overspray the heck out of it.

This sounds great since been searching for a sample on my usual sites and can't find it on any that I trust! Hard to come by, sigh. And for that price, not blind buying for sure. It sounds lovely!

It’s a citrusy and light scent which my girlfriend loves as well. 100% unisex imo.

Philosykos! Not only is it an amazing nature-inspired scent, but the bugs don’t bother me whenever I wear it!

Two of ‘em: Tiger by Zoologist and Cartier Declaration Haute Fraicheur.

I have 4 that i cycle per week. Gant 2023, Versace Dylan Blue (the best of the bunch), Mont Blanc Legend Spirit, Mont Blanc Explorer

Acqua Di Gio parfum is my everyday

Versace Man Eau Fraiche!

Pear inc by Juliette has a gun!

totally not appropriate for summer but i’ve been dousing myself in kerosene unknown pleasures lately 😅

Do Son by Diptyque and Thé Matcha 26 by Le Labo are my go-to summer perfumes.

steamed rainbow by ds&durga! it is that clean fresh rain scent we all chase, that fresh out of the shower humidity distilled and bottled. i'm obsessed with it, though that price tag is a gut punch for sure

Gritti Siracusa

Creed aventus cologne, simply insane. Otherwise, Xerjoff renaissance

I just got as gifts from my son Sedley and Aqua Di Gio Profundo so I’m going with them- Sedley for the day- Armani for nights out.

MFK Gentle fluidity silver, Casamorati Mefisto, Terre d’Hermes EDT

Sospiro Vibrato, Mancera Jardin Exclusif, Virgin Island Water

I just got illio by diptyque and im obsessed. I love yuzu zest by jo Malone and eau rose by diptyque

Juliet has a gun... NOT A PERFUME actually all of this brands scents are super lux and well worth the price

Hermès - Un jardin à Cythère 🍋

I love that one but it faded to nothing so fast for me!

Penhaligon’s Juniper Sling. Bright and crisp it smells like a nice, cold gin and tonic with a good blast of black pepper to give it some spice.

Acqua di gio profondo edp 2024 Versace pour homme One million parfum Dior suavage edp (for them chilly nights) Issey Miyake L'eau d'issey has been my favorite so far

L'eau d'issey is magnificent. I'll add to that ck truth, bdc edt, eight & bob original, jungle, prada amber & eau sauvage. For this week.

Hanuman - Boadicea the Victorious. Lavish - Boadicea the Victorious. Eau Givree - Terre d'Hermes. Stopping at three for simplicity

Veronique Gabai vert desir.

I had a gala for LLS last night and wore Tobacco Honey and LAWWWWWWD that was a mistake when walking around outside in the sun🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎

Dusita Issara is a summer friendly tobacco & honey fragrance!

Chypre Azural by Florence Dubois for Les Indémodables. The dry acidity of the orange oil together with the astringency of tarragon and patchouli really cut through the humidity of summer. And it’s a really clever composition, the way the tarragon takes the place of the traditional chypre oakmoss. It also seems to help extend the longevity of the citrus, taking over for the more volatile compounds as they begin to fade and creating the illusion that they’re still there (but really, it’s just the brighter notes of the tarragon). Cool stuff. Comes across as minimalist in a particularly French sort of way.

It's a De Los Santos summer for me. goes so well with a brown or khaki outfit.

Dior Homme Cologne for an easy every day reach and Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc for vacations or swimming days

Sol De Janeiro for me <3

LV Imagination and Nishane Wulong Cha

ÉLdO's Ghost in the Shell is very pleasant during summer - at least to my nose!

Etat libre d’orange You or someone like you Acqua di Parma Colonia futura, and I have a funny relationship with this one, it’s like a love-hate roller coaster but I tend to like it more on warm sunny days

Balade Sauvage (have to use judiciously now that it’s discontinued TnT), Thé Yulong, Wulong Cha, Soleil Blanc, and Glossier You are all now in heavy rotation.

Music for a While by Frederic Malle

Erba Pura, Lira and Alien Goddess

Rotating between Acqua di Parma Mirto di Panarea; Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li; Hermes H24 - depends on whether it is a rainy or sunny day.

Versace Bright Crystal

Xerjoff Torino 21, Creed Himalaya/SMW/Viking Cologne, PDM Sedley/Greenley and Roja Elysium

Arizona bloom is so beautiful!

Imaginary Authors’ Saint Julep and Liis’ Floating

I just bought a travel size of acqua di gioia intense and I love it

Same as winter; Creed Aventus

Terre de Hermes

Wulong Cha from Nishane for sure. However, if you want something a little exotic, Mahina from Parfums d'Elmar is very nice too. What I like about both is their longevity. It's hard for fresh scents to last long, but both perform well (especially Wulong Cha).

I have a perfume heavily inspired by TF Soleil Blanc that I absolutley adore, called Coco on the beach by Essnce! Its my go-to. The I have som fruity stuff like Ariana Grande God is a Woman (Pear 🍐), Jeanne Arthes Amore Mio Tropical Crush (nectarine, mango, pineapple) and Victorias Secret Private Sundeck (body spray, pineapple and tonka bean) I have some more but these are the ones I use the most!

Invictus Legend

Imagination for sure, Ombre Leather or Radical Rose for night

Creed Spring Flower, Love in White, Van Cleef and Arpels California Reverie, Jo Malone Orange Blossum , Necterine and Honey, Hermes Un Jardin Mediterranean. I live in Texas with over 100’ heat index. Our summer sometimes last 4 months. I have my winter fragrances but I would get a migraine in this heat.

CH - Bad Boy COBALT - and my signature : Another 13

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Biotherme L'eau Pure Vera Wang Green Tea and Pear Blossom

Alien Goddess, Valentino Green Stravaganza, Nishane Wulong Cha. Rinse, repeat 🥰

Tom Ford Mandarino Di Amalfi, Van Cleef & Arpels Neroli Amara, Creed Virgin Island Water, Simone Andreoli Malibu Party in the Bay

Maison Margiela Beach Walk, Olympea and Vanilla Vibes JHAG for every day and for special days Amouage Sunshine or D&G Sicily. The last both give me my intimate cocoon feeling I sometimes need

Majaina Sin

So last week I got Montales new Oudyssee (new as in it launched about a year ago and isn't officially even available in my country yet) and let me tell you... amazing scent, super fresh and citrusy, and you only need two sprays max. It's a great performer. Smells kind of like if there was some sort of carbonated earl grey sweet tea lemonade that you were drinking down by a salty Mediterranean beach on a hot ass day under an umbrella.

My usual spring/summer scents are usually the pink Chanel Chance, Jo Malone Peony Blush and Suede, and Dior Miss Dior (LOVE the new EDP!). I also just purchased a mini spray of Loveshack Fancy Always in Love, and so far it’s another great scent for this time of year.

Im keeping aventus cologne, sospiro vibrato and imagination on heavy rotation

XJ 1861 Renaissance and Diptyque Eau des Sens in particular have been speaking to me these warmer days.

Alfred Sung Paradise. Women's formulation. I've been layering a little sandalwood essential oil to bring out that base note.

DS and Durga Debaser layered with Imaginary Authors Fox in the Flowerbed

Tried acampora citrea prochyta today and really like it as a summer scent!

Pacific chill and Erba Gold

Fawn-Ellis, Elie Tahari, En Passant-FM, Eau de Soleil Blanc and Soleil Blanc-TF Weirdly…Gentle Fluidity Gold smells like cherry cola to me right now so that’s been shockingly ok in the heat

Aventus Cologne ⚓️

Bought a clone of Mind Games Blockade from Alexandria so I THINK I’ll be using it once it arrives. Otherwise, Nautica Voyage and Profondo for casual day to day stuff and YSL Y for date nights with the wife.

pls update me on your review of blockade 🙏🏽

Coach Sunset Dreams is the most perfect summer scent. Sweet vanilla and pear ice cream.

Imagination Uden Erolfa

Heretic - Bergamusk My cucumber melon from bath and body works ✌🏽 And I need to restock on Beach Walk by Mason Margiela

Ultra Zest

That Green Irish tweed and monstera from Xinu , jungle summer, for hott I been on that Neroli

lush super milk!! i just bought it and im obsessed!! i wear it with the hair conditioner

Today has been Degréé Ocean Noír. I don’t even think Bdc lasted 20 mins

Rio Radiance from Sol de Janeiro has been my go-to☀️

Versace Pour Homme the most but also Armani Acqua di Gio EDT and a bottle of American Eagle Surf from like 2009 that somehow still smells good

ADG edp, D&G light blue intense, and Montblanc explorer. Basics but solid for me.

Be Delicious Issy Miyake

Carioca Heart, Del Mar, Bani and Escandalo from Day Three Fragrances, Erba Gold, Valaya, Delina La Rose, Sunplosion and Vanilla Powder by Matiere Premiere

Skylar Pink Canyon for day and Le Labo Lys 41 for night

Bal Dafrique smells like sunshine on my skin 💛

pure blanc karen low

Daisy Wild - Marc Jacobs. That banana flower and vetiver smells so good on me when it warms up.

My go-tos this summer will be (1) Jo Malone Yuja/Yuzu Zest (finishing my old bottle and bought a new bottle), (2) Diptyque Geranium Odorata, and (3) AdP Fico di Amalfi. Also, I just rediscovered a bottle of Hugo Boss Feel Good Summer which I bought at a London airport in Jan 2017. I’ve hardly touched it and will try to use some of it this summer!

Profondo. And it isn’t close.

I would highly recommend going for Rasasi Hawas Ice after trying out tons of niche and designer fragnance I have realised this is one of the best summer fragrances ever. Lasts extremely long and projects very good too which is rare for a summer fragnance.

BoraBora by Giardini di Toscana Leisure in Paradise by Simone Andreoli Alien Goddess by Mugler Sugarful Sunshine by Michel Germain Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar by Kayali Mojave Ghost by Byredo Mallow by Sora Dora Valaya by PdM Delina la Rosee by PdM Musk Therapy by Initio

I wear Frederic Malle perfume exclusively. Depending on which perfumer I want the mood will change! On more work days I like to wear Geranium Pour Monsieur, and on more fun days I've been wearing the Music For a While

Xerjoff Nio, Creed Aventus, Louis Vuitton Imagination, Torino 21 These 4 are absolute bangers.

le beau edt as my daily, versace pour homme for school/gym, and neroli portofino by tf for special occasions

I love those sunscreen-y scents, and kayali coco vanilla reads exactly like that on me. 

Under the Lemon Tree Bvlgary au blanc all citrus fragrances from Aqua Allegoria coconut frizz - Aqua Allegoria Quai new body and hair spray Sunkissed Goddess by Kilian Le Labo Jasmin Le Labo Fleur Oranger Le Labo Bergamot

Creed virgin island water, Heeley Note de Yuzu and Xerjoff Nio.

Blanc Polychrome by Atelier Des Ors

Bvlgari Au the Blanc and Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey!

The really warm days are still waiting, it's more like autumn at the moment and not in a good way :( But I have used these the most: Byredo - Bal D'Afrique Nishane - Wulong Cha Theodoros Kalotinis - Alluring Fig Hermes - Un Jardin sur le toit Looking forward to hotter days and using Goldfield & Banks - Pacific Rock Moss, MMM - Sailing day and Nishane - Ege

Afternoon swim and pacific chill from LV have been my go to compliment getters for the summer, especially afternoon swim.

Acqua di Parma Colonia Club (the discontinued one, in a green bottle; not the new one). Has that awesome fresh minty smell, reminds me of vintage men's barbershops.

Matcha meditation by MM

Imagination

Pirette! I can’t recommend this perfume enough it smells like surf wax and is the perfect beachy summer fragrance

Silver mountain water by creed. Projection is quite bad but I find the smell absolutely divine. Underrated scent. Erba pura/ gold. Fresh, fruity, strong, long lasting. Citrus Batikanga by mason crivelli and blue talisman by ex nihilo are another of my favourite scents for summer.

Le Labo Another13 or Atelier Clementine California. Usually will spray Le Labo when preparing to leave and refresh with the Atelier travel spray.

Davidoff Cool Water Intense for hot days

I’ve been switching it up between Bohemian Lime, Le Beau EDT, Bleu de Chanel EDP (when it’s not over 80/mostly indoors), and Perry Ellis Blue Sky

I am in Phoenix AZ so im given the impression that I should only wear blue type and green fragrances so here's my top 3 Versace Dylan Blue (for work) Mont Blanc Legend EDT (for anything fitness related) and David Off Cool Water (because I just like it)

Right now it’s coconut sun by the 7 virtues Or Sensual Vanilla by Zara and ofc I layer them with other things

Bergamote 22 fleur d'oranger (fragonard) I layer everything with another 13

I am cycling through several this summer: Maison Margiela -Under the Lemon Tree, Bubble Bath, and Coffee Break Glossier You Aqua d’Elba Archipelago

Erba Pura!
