Good summer fresh/aquatic fragrances?

With summer season around the corner, actually 'Sunny season' (here in Costa Rica sunny season starts in January through April) I've been relentlessly looking for nice daytime fragrances with good performance however I'm yet to find one that really hits the nail. If you take a look at my 'collection' I've tried with United Dreams, Le Beau Male (which I love but is terrible in performance), Light Blue Eau Intense and Boss Unlimited, Cool Water and Invictus Aqua (which is the closest to what I'm aiming for).

I do own a Acqua di Gio Profumo and I think is a super star but I'drather save it for special ocassions like a brunch or a morning activity with friends or family, going out with the mrs.

Any suggestions for a Summer fragrance that fits the bill?

Thanks and good fragrance karma to y'all!

Hi,

In my humble opinion two would fit the bill: Kenzo (the first one in the blue, bamboo like bottle) and Lancome O.
Class at its best, both of them.

Hi bro the answer is absolutely bvlgari amara. İt is so long lasting like 10-14 hour in skin and super fresh

I recently discovered Masaki Matsushima M;0ºC - Frosty tequila with citrus, nice and refreshing. I also love Margiela's Sailing Day, a light aquatic with no citrus. Then you have classic Mugler Cologne which is very sharp and fresh and my beloved Montblanc Starwalker, bergamot and bamboo for a sour touch. Worth mentioning is Polo Blue EDP, an elegant velvety aquatic with suede and wood. I could go on, I love fresh/citrus fragrances :)

Lattafa Najdia and Rasasi Hawas are said to be very good performers in the aquatic universe. They are very reasonably priced and are Invictus Aqua'ish scents as far as I know. Hawas is actually the original, Invictus Aqua was released after that.

Not an aquatic but I can confirm that Mancera Cedrat Boise is very good performer generally in freshies.

Thank you for the suggestion StarA1, I'll try that.

Hey Gonsada, buenísimo topar con un tico! Allure Eau Extreme y Sauvage EDT están en mi wishlist y espero próximamente tenerlas en mi colección. Aventus es otra que es un must pero si ha que acomodarse pues es cara, igual las de Tom Ford. De hecho de TF tengo en mi lista la Tobacco Vanilla pero es para otro contexto claramente

Que bueno ver a otro tico en esta página, las fragancias de verano no son mi especialidad, pero algunas que tuve son Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne (super cítrica), Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme o Edition Blanche, Dior Homme Cologne o Sauvage EDT, Prada Luna Rossa o Infusion d Homme, también la colección de jardines de Hermes. Dentro de las nicho te recomiendo Creed Aventus, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Acqua, Mancera Cedrat Boise. Son solo algunas recomendaciones. Saludos!
