Hello everyone
I hope you is doing well.

Today I would like to hear your suggestions about refreshing, soothing and light white flower perfumes actually men can wear in summer.

It would be much more beautiful if it was mixed with something compliments it well. Like citrus, woods or sea breeze.

Personally I have Dior Homme Cologne, Petit Matin and Neroli Voyage from Floris.

Performance will be a nice bonus

Have a nice day

Greetings, Ghaeth

Hi,

This year I discovered Roja - Scandal Pour Homme Parfum Cologne. I think the Parfum Cologne strength is the perfect strength for this scent. It's basically an amazing floral fougere. The fougere is not a heavy tannin nose stinging one, but rather a light greenish and pleasantly light tart fougere and a nice medium dose of white florals over it. I think it's one of the best men's floral fragrances on the market.

Another one I like is Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Garden of Bali, which uses the same kind of white florals as 4711, but has cedar and bambo and some aquatic tones in it that really makes it a very cool "Southeast Asian" vibe.

Although discontinued, I like Tom Ford's Shanghai Lily, which is more potent and a bit spicy, but it really worked for me. Although it was marketed to women I think it easily works as a Spring fragrance for men.

Thank you for the suggestions and helpful description
i Like a lot Malle Eau de Magnolia-it resembles a fresh citrus, as magnolia does have a citrusy facet. Perfect for the summer. Expensive, but oh well.

cacio
I will try it :)

Police Potion Power (EDP), a cheapie with prominent orange blossom, and good performance. Some people can be a bit snobby about Police, but I think they've released some good budget fragrances over the years.

Many great recommendations already, glad to also add especially-in otherwise no particular order: Lalique White, Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco, Cerruti 1881 Edition Blanche, Zara White Tag, Xerjoff Dhofar as well as Oesel from the same brand, Fahrenheit 32.

The best white floral fragrance I've personally tried that I also think is completely unisex / masculine is Xerjoff Nio. It's also probably in my top 10 all time fragrances. The opening pairs citrus with jasmine and green notes.

If you want something that leans a bit more into the citrus aspect but still has nice florals (especially after the initial opening) then Clive Christian 1872 is it. CC 1872 is in my top 5 ever fragrances.

You can't go wrong with either - Nio might be closer to what your original idea is.

+1 Lalique White. I think you would love this summertime classic, I'd call it. Good floral citrusy and does develop beautiful new pencil cedar. Real unsung hero fragrance.

This is how I know people's noses are different. I get absolutely zero white floral from Lalique White. Don't get me wrong, I really like the fragrance a lot, but it's all woods and pepper to my nose with the typical "pencil shaving" smell so many have mentioned with it. Seeing people mention it as a white floral fragrance makes me think maybe my nose is broken. lol.

The first two to come to mind as I read your first sentence have already been mention. One you own and I love it: Floris Neroli Voyage. The second is not Neroli but is a good floral stand-in: Malle Eau Magnolia. This will be my third summer with Eau Magnolia.

Another summer favorite of mine is Zegna Florentine Iris. It is not a Dior iris!

This is an indespensible summer citrus/floral for me. I came here to also add Malle's Lys Mediterranee.
