Smells amazing but doesnt last more than 7 hrs on me.With homebrew I think you could get a couple more hrs.VIW def projects like a beast for the first 4 hrs tho.

This Mandarino Di Amalfi smells amazing!!

Is it just me or does the scent fade kinda quick though?

I even put it over the homebrew.

Smells good,but wasnt anything special and yes it fades quickly.

The costa azzurra is the best 1 so far imo.Lasted ok on me.Azure lime is amazing and the best scent but fades real quick,like 4 hrs quick.

@RESIDO  if you wearing citrus and orange base colognes it must be 80 and up for it to really reach its full potential and use. 68 is to low in my opinon.

Yea I stay reading on fragrantica and them youtube dudes like dracdoc and redo.

I never knew it was a proper time to wear certain things mainly because VPH can be worn all the time and year rd lol.Once I bought more scents and read I then understood.
 
I'm having a hard time finding a summer scent better than VIW. I do not want to drop the coin on it but it is the goods. Nautica Voyage for real cheap is not a bad every day wear. Prob stick with that.
 
What is all of your favorite summertime scents?

Don't care if it is citrus or earthy, etc...

I want something new with crazy Longevity AND crazy silage.

Recommendations?  (I already have yambventus, bleeker st., hermes, issey, GIT, and Chanel Bleu for summer)

Just looking for something new

how is the longevity and projection on VIW?  I hear it is sub-par but I really want to try this scent out
 
VIW is one of my favorite spring/summer scents so I have the 4oz bottle. However, the performance of it is extremely bad. Not only does it not project, like many have stated already, the longevity is awful. I can't get more than 5 hours from it with multiple sprays.

Here's some spring/summer alternatives I've been using since it's been getting warmer here in Dallas that last me most or all of my 8-10 hour work day:
•Bond no 9 Bleeker St
•Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
•Creed Aventus
•Bond no 9 Scent of Peace for him
•Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey
•Hermes Terri D'hermes (not ready my taste)
•A*men Ultra Zest

If anyone else has recommendations for summer fragrances that last an 8 hour day please let me know. Thanks

Bruh I got 60 decants this year man.SMFH

I got stuff I aint wore in months and its all niche stuff at that lol.

I like chez bond better than GIT.Its the same scent but chez bond is smoother,a little less green and less harsh and in your face.If you got GIT you good imo.

Lately I have been scheduling scents to wear because I be forgetting what I have.

So next up to wear is

Chanel allure homme blanche

Imperial millesime

Silver mountain water

Issey miyake PH

Amouage Reflection Man

Bro, I highly recommendation Chez Bond! Even my daughter loved the scent, lol. I alternated between it and DHI while I was in Orlando a month ago and it worked well (longevity and silage) in even FL's hotter than norm temps.
 
Can't go wrong with AHS either, I haven't worn it since I was deployed but even it was beastly in the hot desert climate. I gotta dig it up outta my sea bag.

Chez bond is definitely a good one, got my bottle for free :D new girl I've been seeing says it's her favorite out of the ones she's smelled on me, even had a coworker ask what I was wearing the other day when I had it on.

GQ recommended Mugler eau de toilette as one of the best summer frags in recent history.
