What scents and perfumes do you consider as especially apt to each season? I'd be looking forward to everyones suggestions!

Off the top of my head, as an example, I'd say:

Winter/Spring: Blenheim Bouquet. I like this very much, its my all-rounder.

Summer: Aqua di Parma, and also: Trumper's West Indian Extract of Limes.

Autunm: Knize 10. This is perfect for late fall/early winter, its deep woden/musky tones make one feel cozy .

What are your favs?

I'll list more "categories" than specific scents... Summer: classic eau de cologne, or a strong BITTER citrus (with grapefruit, bitter orange, etc.) Fall: Sandalwood, amber, resinous scents that aren't "heavy" but still warm. If you have the cojones, this is when your civet scents work well (IMHO) Winter: Spice and woods and depth... maybe vanilla/tonka/musk... heavier, thicker scents, orientals. Spring: Male florals, rose, iris, lavender, jasmine.
