Hey gents

As its summer and very hot here in the middle east

Wearing this Versace Man EDT a fresh aquatic scent. Crisp lemon opening!

It made me think about how much i enjoy wearing this Aquatic and fresh type of fragrance more than any other category.

I understand the heat and humidity is influencing me quite a bit!

But I wanted to share with you to get your thoughts and maybe explore further;

do you believe ultimately at the core of every man he desires that clean, easy wear and crisp freshness that is masculine and just feels right?

if all men had to vote on wearing only ONE fragrance family/ category. Which one do you guys believe will be the most desired??

It could be that im just getting lazy or my nose is tired from the over stimulation of all these complex notes and depth with all the fragrance categories.

Could be “maturity “ phase . In the past I went through a phase where i mostly desired sweet fragrances.

anyone can relate or gone through such phases?

Final take on this. I always viewed Creed Aventus as overhyped basic fresh citrus. But with all the mentioned above, I appreciate it more and understand why lots of men are drawn to that scent. Maybe thats all a man desires for himself after all.

I will now venture into more traditional barbershop style fragrances. Aromatic Fougere?

Hope to find my signature scent in that category...

any suggestions here are welcome.
