Obviously, performance is not something you factor in when making your choices Sir. The longevity on that TOUS MAN SPORT is abysmal.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

But it's also at the discounters for $25!!

My list for this summer: - Chanel Bleu EDP - Chanel Pour Homme Blanche Edition - Dior Sauvage EDT - Terre D’Hermes - Bvlgari Aqua Atlantique - Mr. Burberry Indigo - Prada L’homme - Tom Ford Mandarino Di Amalfi Acqua EDT - Jo Malone Lime & Basil - Diptyque Philosykos Thanks for a great video and a great list of suggestions!

[@turbo1pt888]

Your top 20’s are always great even if I haven’t smelled half of them! My favorites for this summer are Guerlain L’homme Ideal Cologne, Dior Homme Cologne, ADP Bergamotto Di Calabria, Zegna Acqua Di Bergamotto, JV Artisan Pure, 24 Ice Gold, Eau De Rochas and Guerlain AA Herba Fresca.

[@Everydaygentleman]

Great list! The only one I think is missing is Artisan Pure from John Varvatos.

Mugler Cologne is my all time favorite for summer. So fresh and clean!

Me too but more like 20% - the other 80 will be Mont Blanc legend spirit, Bleu de Chanel, Aventus, green Irish tweed, millesime imperial and Versace pour Homme

[@MsSummer225]

You are by far my favorite on KZbin! Because of you my husband ALWAYS smells great! Getting the Givency, Gucci, and DunHill next!

[@Everydaygentleman]

Dunhill 👍🏼

[@iwrin]

The fragrance I'm currently over the moon about this summer is John Varvatos Artisan Pure. The lemon and clementine over the woody white musk makes it an awesome summer frag!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I'll check it out. Thank you for suggesting it! :)

[@MP-ej9pw]

Nice selections...my collection is still small but some of the designers I will wear this summer are Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDP, Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche EDP, John Varvatos Artisan Pure, and some cheapies: Original Penguin Iconic Blend and Mont Blanc Legend Spirit.

[@Martin-gz4qn]

Original Penguin Iconic Blend is a really nice cheapie.

[@malayneum]

hmm. i dont understand why so many people upset with the Ferrari review. i guess i need to try them myself to see what the fuss about.

[@MrMelonMan96]

That's true about Chanel AHSEE, I wore it in summer at night but the heat overwhelmed it and I didn't get much out of it. However, wearing it in Spring, Autumn, even Winter (if it's not too cold), is when it really shines

[@MrLanarana]

Un jarden mediterranee, amazing fragrance, like a journey among cypresses, figs, and lemon blossoms

[@bpjl2280]

Wow, 19 French and 1 Italian! Gotta get some Prada, Versace, Armani, Dolce&Gabbana, Ferragamo, Valentino up in there! Perhaps even an old Fendi? Great vid man.

[@shaynelaw9629]

bp jl Great observation!

[@magic_powers]

I would add Mugler's Pure Energy and Banana Republic's Vintage Green. They are appropriate for summer and Sebastian approves of both! I also enjoy Aqua Fahrenheit for work and L'Homme Ideal Cologne for casual wear. All 4 are cheapies. I wanted to like Tous Man Sport but there is something very outputting about it to me.

[@ChickenSoupMusic]

Guerlain Homme EDP, Original Penguin Premium, Carven L Eau Intense, Mlugler Cologne, Allure Sport / BDChanel EDP, MB Explorer, Rochas Eau Homme, Versace PHomme, Gucci PHomme II, Ferrari Silver, Guerlain Rouge L Eau, Aqua Di Gio, Rasasi Shaghaf will be designer'ish stuff I will be rocking for the summer.

[@OlfactiveStories]

I wore a lot un jardin sur la lagune and under the lemon trees in May. I really love these 2. I just wish I bought a bigger bottle of under the lemon trees (I have the 10ml try on version) ... I'm a great fan of Jean Claude Ellena's work and I was a bit anxious about this new garden by Christine Nagel. Usually her fragrances are really hit or miss for me. And I was really relieved when I tried this Un jardin sur la lagune. I was immediately transported to a mediterraneen garden. I was walking through the blooming trees and flowers. Funny enough I smelled orange blossom and jasmine. I had this impression but I'm not even sure they enter really in the composition. Then as I was getting some woody notes I started going down a stone staircase and walked to the beach. I clearly see mediterraneen sea here maybe south of France, Italy or Corsica. For me this one could be named also Un jardin sur la méditerranée. But I get what you mean when you talk about pond. I think that the inspiration behind this perfume was Venise so this olfactive transcription is clearly a success !

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great list and I enjoyed it and I like both of the chanel fragrances and Burberry indigo and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day

[@timrush9779]

My favorite for summer (but I also wear year round) are Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and Goutal Eau de Hadrien...

[@andrekart]

Thank you for this review. For the summer I like L'homme Ideal Cologne, Guerlain. But want to ask if you ever tried Lanvin L'homme - could you share your opinion?

John Varvatos "Artisan Pure" is so perfect for summer, I hope you can make a review on this amazing fragrance !

[@Everydaygentleman]

I love this one!

[@BUMBAMEUBOI]

Dear Sebastian; i've been using Mercedes Benz Cologne isntead of Dior Homme Cologne. The fragrance it´s pretty much the same smell, but it lasts a few more hours than Dior. Alberto Morillas signature to Mercedes Benz. And check the Intense version too. A lighter version of Dior Fahrenheit.

[@Kadaf1]

In UK Mercedes Benz cologne has become difficult to get hold of

[@marecrisium9506]

Great list. I'm enjoying Dunhill Century and Icon, TdH Eau Intense Vetiver, Guerlain's L'homme Ideal Cologne, D&G Light Bleu Pour Homme Intense and Armani Code Absolu.

[@MLukacs]

Great video as always, Sebastian! As summer approached, I tried to find a citrus, and since I'm still working my way through the classics, I purchased decants of two from my favorite house - Guerlain: Eau de Cologne Imperiale and Eau de Cologne du Coq. I could wear both on a hot summer day, but I prefer Eau de Cologne du Coq. Being colognes, neither have much longevity. However, I ordered a mini of Guerlain's Eau de Guerlain which has an EDT concentration. This fragrance was launched in 1974, and I can't find information about reformulations, but the label on my mini is not the same as the current label, so it could be an older formulation. Still, it is a very nice summer fragrance that does not smell like anything at the department store counter. I can see why Luca Turn and Tania Sanchez included it on their Best Masculines and Best CItrus Top Ten lists in Perfumes: The A-Z Guide. I intend to purchase a 100 ml bottle and hope that the current formulation is the same or similar to the mini I have. Sebastian, you always include classics in your videos. If you haven't tried Eau de Guerlain, please purchase a decant or mini, especially ones with the older label and let me know what you think. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

[@hasib1625]

Nice list. Thanks for sharing. My tiny designer collection, Dior Sport(Both 2008,2012) Dior Cologne, Invictus Aqua Original and Edition Blanche ✌🏻

[@1david12]

I have Gucci Guilty and it is long lasting, I have it on currently now and it has been smelling on me for past 24 hours

[@kidsfriends8269]

My collection is rather small. For this spring/summer I am wearing Guerlain L’Homme Ideal cologne for work (warehouse environment, sometimes move stuff around) Eau Sauvage it it’s business casual (love it also for the gym), Guerlain Homme L’Eau Boisee if it’s rainy/humid or night out. I enjoy matching fragrances with situations. Anything I should add?

[@finderkeeper836]

I cannot really see Guerlain Vetiver Extreme as a summer scent: it is very smoky with only a few nuances from the original Guerlain Vetiver. Or do I have the reformulated version?

[@vaggelismakris7175]

Smelled all of them , own some of them ,love almost all of them but you forgot my favorite one!!! Acqua di gio Profumo , for me it’s top notch designer fragrance I’m obsessed with it and it really works on me . Fresh incensy aquatic that it really does perform and last one me ! It just giving me vibes while wearing it

Great list i have other that I also like, Hermes vetiver intense, chanel blanche, 1828, bayolea, guerlain cologne,

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Nice those are great yes! :)

[@matthewjackson9615]

I guess one of the things that everyone understands but doesn't consider is that the smell of the cologne will alter according to one's own body chemistry. For example, if a cologne is light and citrusy , it doesn't mean that it will automatically smell that way on the user. Colognes are always hit or miss which probably explains why most folks have elaborate collections of assorted bottles and varieties. Seems to me these days men don't wear cologne or dress up fancy like they used to in this country. I don't even see the usual ads for the everyday colognes that they used to advertise in the past - Old Spice, Aqua Velva, High Karate , English lather, etc. Also, remember back in the day in the old timey barbershops when they would apply the finishing touches? They would grab a large bottle of some red fluid ( standard barbershop fragrance ) , dash about a tablespoon of it into their hands and slather it all over you face and neck ? Clean , cool, and refreshing finale to the haircut experience. Gone are those days , eh ?

My ‘Encre Noire Sport’ came in today and I am *genuinely* surprised by how much I loved it((!!!)) in spite of the already positive reviews. This is my 4th fragrance in 2 months and I have you [and Ashley] to thank for my budding collection of fragrances!! I also have a question-How long do you think it’ll take before the ‘Gentleman Givenchy Cologne’ becomes available at discounters? P.S. My previous purchase before EN Sport was the Gentleman EdP, also thanks to your channel!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome re ENCRE NOIRE SPORT. Generally 6 or so months is a good time frame to find fragrances at the discounters. Unless a fragrance doesn't do so well and they have a backlog of them and they need to move it.
