Summer aftershave

Looking for feedback / experience.
I am after an aftershave for summer (It's that time of year over here ) . Over winter I was using the tried and true bay rum, and it was great, but just a bit too spicy and warm for our Aussie summers I think. So I am after a good citrus scent. Anyone with a favourite chime in!

Probably should've expanded a bit more … I prefer AS that makes your skin feel tight after application and generally go for alcohol based ones.

Last summer's was Aramis 'cool blend ' which I quite liked, but can't find it this year.

Hmmm.... there's Geo F Trumper's Skin Food (I would prefer the Coral one for summer). Also try Acqua di Parma's Collecione Barbare after shave lotion. Slightly alcoholic but light and delicate for the summer.

That's funny, to me Bay Rum is the perfect summer AS, but perhaps it's better suited for Canadian summers lol...

My all-time summer favourite is Proraso, but it is not citrus based at all. DR Harris Arlington is one that comes to mind though.

My all time favorite summer scent is Royall Lyme
Clean crisp & with great staying power. You cant go wrong

I do stretch the summer season a bit, cause I tend to use it a good bit of the year.
What can I say I like it, it likes me.

That looks really good actually and sounds great too … I think this could be the one I try this summer! Thanks Mate

I like good old fashioned Brut for summer.

Are you going to make any more Only Fools & Horses Del Boy ? :-)

I gotta agree with Ryan about Bay Rum in the summer.

Mcduck,

I like citrus scents for the summer, though they don't seem to have a lot of staying power.

I really like L'Occitanes Verviene which is lemon verbena scented; I also like L'Occitane's Vetyver for summer :)

Have fun !

Best regards

Oh Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar for sure...

Very citrussy...

And it's got staying power...

Pinaud Lime Sec EdC with Skin Bracer, Osage Rub, or some other menthol after shave. Aqua Velva and Murray and Lanman's Florida Water are also good choices but probably a bit difficult to locate Down Under.

Thanks all for the advice... I have opted for the Royall Lyme this time around. but this list will come in handy for summer time each year!
