Daytime Summer frags with longevity

[e_s1950@yahoo.com]

What daytime summer scents do you enjoy that have enough longevity to last a work day? I'd prefer to avoid mint at a dominant note if possible.

I've tried a vast number of designers and they just don't last. Dior and Chanel have some nice scents but they quit early. DH2020 has some legs but that Iso E super is too much for me. AdG and flankers didn't cut it either but I did like the profile. YSL Y EDP does last 8hrs but is too cloying for me.

All I have right now is PDM Greenley and TF Costa Azzurra Parfum. They easily last 8 hours and have a decent enough scent bubble. If I can find one or two more I'd be happy. I've also tried a few Xerjoff's like Naxos but that had an overwhelming cloying honey sweetness. Greenley and Costa Azzurra strike that nice balance of not being cloying but projects modestly and last 8 hours. They aren't intense or dominated by a few notes so you can see I'm kinda bland in the summer scents I like.

I get 10 plus hours of wafts when I wear Pour Monsieur edp, which IMO is suitable for summer days.

Sel Marin from Heeley. I thought it didn't last when I tried from a sample. Later on I got a bottle and started using it, and stuck to it. After having worn it for 5-6 times, I realised it has consistently good longevity, with reasonable sillage and projection as well (based on 6-8 sprays). It comes alive in the heat and humidity, and the salty vetiver is refreshing, smells great but still a little quirky at the same time. No sharp/synthetic smell, really well executed scent. It's one of my summer staples together with Un Jardin Sur Le Nil.

Xerjoff 1861 Renaissance had excellent longevity.

For me Bois Imperial hits this spot. Great longevity and fresh

Many great recommendations already, also adding:

Best of Chevignon, Boucheron PH in its EDP concentration, Knize Forest, ADP Colonia Assoluta, Lalique White and/or pour Homme EDP

in no further particular order

Nice choice! Which is exactly why I chose (scant minutes ago) my SOTD: Aubusson Salted Vetiver (close enough for one with less-deep pockets).

Nice choice. Similar to Hacivat which i'd recommend, along with Wulong Cha.

I love this stuff, but it's more sweet than fresh on my skin.

Rocking Acqua di Gio Profumo

Also, I get about 10 hours, believe it or not, from Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne. Fades to a skin scent after 2 hours, and then it gets real soft after say 5 or 6, but in 90 degree weather, it reactivates when i sweat a little

I vote for PdM Sedley, very summery and of great longevity

Adding Aramis Havana. About 10 hours of excellent performance. My bottle is from 2013.

Parle Moi de Parfum Tomboy Neroli easily lasts all day on me and is a great causal out and about scent.

 

[xeryusiv]

Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver

I can only recommend 2, both are from Orto Parisi: Bergamask and Megamare.

Megamare easily lasts over 30 hrs and im not exagerating. Bergamask is a less of a monster, but still a beast, 16 hrs easily.

Sample both first - they’re not everyones taste, but I personally love them very much.
