It's been one of the coolest winters we've had in LA for a long. (I'd say "coldest" but people in the NE would beat me).

Spring and warm weather still seems a ways off. Maybe this list will warm me up...

Geranium Pour Monsieur
Armaf Sillage
Armaf Milestone/MIllesime Imperial
Original Vetiver
Musk Cologne
Cologne indelible
Infusion d'Homme
Virgin Island Water

Though planning to wear nearly all of the fragrances in the current lineup with little to no change, if having to choose more precisely-would most likely prefer, in no further particular order nor any specific weekday assignment, especially:

Azzaro PH (2013 or 2014) Summer Limited Edition
Azzaro PH L'Eau
Cerruti 1881 Edition Blanche
Mugler Cologne
Sartorial by Penhaligon's
La Martina Hombre
Boucheron pour Homme EDP

I’ve really enjoyed the cool weather fragrances for the last several months. Where I live the spring/summer fragrances are about nine months out of the year. I’m sure the following will change but we will say the starting seven (in no particular order) would be:

Green Irish Tweed
Millisime Imperial
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
BDC Parfum
Polo Blue EDP
Aqua Di Gio Profumo
Silver Mountain Water

Okay, I'm going to cheat - mea maxima culpa 😬 - because I tend to make a substantial shift between what I enjoy wearing most here in Colorado in the spring (snowy/rainy/sunny, often in a span of 24 hours) versus the summer (dry heat).

Spring:
1. Chanel No. 19
2. DSH Perfumes Highland Idyll
3. Hendley Perfumes Narcis
4. Nicolai Le Temps d'Une Fête
5. Serge Lutens Bois de Violette
6. St Clair Scents Edge Effects
7. Teone Reinthal Blue Lotus (love the flankers but the original is HG)

Summer:
1. Ralph Lauren Safari (women)
2. Lubin Gin Fizz
3. DSH Perfumes Divine Gardens
4. DSH Perfumes Essenza dell'Ibisco
5. DSH Perfumes Albino
6. D'Orsay Tilleul
7. Hiram Green Shangri La
