Tom Ford's Black Orchid in the cooler months.

Gucci Pour Homme II and YSL's L'homme are my super-safe, summerish defaults. I struggle with warm weather scents since I prefer spicy, balsamic, and resinous notes.

In a perfect world, my summer fallback would be Aventus. I like the way it smells but oh do I hate the way it sells.
