Tested a few warmer weather flankers - must buys or redundant?

Lately, I've been getting in some warmer-weather decants to try to build out the spring/summer section of my collection. I noticed the cooler temp part of my collection outnumbers the warmer by a wide margin. (This could be due to the fact that my skin is where summer freshies go to die. My skin soaks them up and they're gone in a flash) I already own bottles of YSL Y edp and Prada L'Homme and recently got in decants of YSL Y Iced Cologne and Prada L'Homme L'eau. Both flankers in their respective lines. Both offer a fresher, lighter, more airy take on the ones I have. The YSL Iced Cologne definitely has a lot of mint in it and the Prada L'eau ups the freshness with a blast of ginger at the top. What I noticed is the difference in both of these is mainly in the opening which, in my opinion, doesn't last very long though the overall performance on both is fairly good. After a while both dry down into their lines well known DNA. Would I accept them if I got them as a gift? I surely would, but I find both too redundant to what I already own to purchase them myself.
