A few others have crept in but that’s been my summer.  If not out of place here, might I ask on this traditional last day of summer what are others “favorite” summer scents?  Or should I just set up a separate thread?

Love Bond Eau New York for Summer but the bottles are just hideously Gaudy and unergonomic.  That stated, am seeking a world class aquatic with legs.

Good summer choice and can't agree more about the bottle!  Not sure I can suggest a world class aquatic with legs, as you're searching for tbh, but I've heard good things about Bulgari's Aqua Marine and also about Kerosene's Summer of 84 I just haven't gotten to smell either.

I’m one of those who live summer dreaming about winter so my rotation has been small too: Salted Green Mango and Eternal Summer by Strangers Parfumerie, Aer by Angela Ciampagna, Abyss by Abdul Karim Al Faransi, Un Assenzio by Dedè Arte Profumata.
Sampled for the first time in my life Kobe and Naxos by Xerjoff (both huge disappointment), Note de Yuzu by Heeley (meh...) and Seahorse by Zoologist (interesting but I prefer Squid).
Also finally sniffed your beloved Afternoon Swim! I see, no one on earth could ever dislike something like that, just a bit too much aldehydes to my taste... In that freshie mood, I enjoyed Imagination way more while I was in the LV store.

Strictly wetshaving speaking, WK Fougere Mania and Chatillon Lux 88 Chestnut St. toners were the two I reached the most. Always had an itch for SBS Cannonball but afraid about the cooling effect...

Since I could not agree more about both the Xerjoffs, I've now got to try your other choices -- none of which I've encountered.  Even if it is true that summer is ending, sadly.  I get it about the aldehydes in Afternoon Swim.  They are what I do like about it.  BTW, as to Cannonball, the cooling effect is very mild and it's not a menthol coolant -- which matters to me since I've never liked menthol as a cooling agent in soap or splashes at all.

Today, a clean fresh scent.  I think I've described this before as putting on a fresh shirt from the laundry.  Oddly, though, as much as I like it, I rarely reach for it.

Not a huge vetiver fan but this is one I've certainly liked.
