Does anyone else live in a really, really hot city? I feel like the heat destroys a lot of my favorite scents, but I still would like to wear something during the summer. Anyone have some reqs?

Try Bruno Fazzolari Five. It’s an Eau de Cologne style with a long lasting flinty aspect.

I love Voyage d’Hermes EdT for hot weather.

Orange Sanguine
This is a pretty good orange rind and cypress scent.
Not their best (I prefer Pomelo Paradis), but enjoyable

Ordered some samples Fromm le Labo- not a fan of everything I’ve tried, but the longevity is always outstanding

Which ones did you like? I Like this line a lot and think that The Noir 29 and Patchouli 24 are fantastic.

Today I'm wearing Vero Onda parfum. Dirty, smoky, earthy vetiver.

I have half a dozen fruity fragrances that I wear only in summer.
AdP Fico d'Amalfi is one of them.
This one is not close to AdP Colonia or Assoluta, two of my favorite fragrances ever.
But, it has a nice blast of summer fruits in a fizzy package, great for a summer Saturday at the shore or, better yet, on the Amalfi coast, if you can swing it.

Figs obviously, plus apples, grapefruit and oranges, with a sweet jasmine in the center tying everything together. There is a mild cedar base. 3-4 hours, tops.

Where's a good place to buy Creed online these days? I want to buy some MI or Erolfa as my summer scent.

Anyone have the new Tauer limited edition?

Do you mean the Les Années 25? I find Tauer scents to be hit or miss. I really love some, but the others don't do anything for me at all. Unfortunately, Les Années 25 is in the latter category. I'm not sure what the cause of this is, but I find it somewhat musty. It definitely has a vintage vibe, although you wouldn't confuse it for something that's actually vintage. The top has a very big ginger note, which is not something I like. As it dries down, it becomes more pleasant, with benzoin and tonka bean becoming more prominent. There are floral notes listed, but I honestly don't get a lot of that.

Speaking of Tauer, though, I have to put in a good word for his new L'Oudh, which is a complex, challenging-but-not-too-challenging oud. It's quickly become one of my favorite oud scents.
