I have been surprised by what seems to work for me in the heat and humidity of the DC summers. Here goes, in no particular order: 1. I Profumi di Firenze Agrumi di Sicilia 2. Delrae Amoureuse -- something about the jasmine and the honeyed drydown are just so damned sexy in the heat! 3. Lorenzo Villoresi Yerbamate (with you on the tea also) 4. L'Air du Desert Marocain -- so evocative... 5. TDC Sel de Vetiver 6. Goutal Mandragore -- spicy, elegant deliciousness 7. Gobin-Daude Nuit au Desert -- SOB, SOB, SOB!!!!!! Please come back to us, Victoire! 8. CB Wild Pansy -- esp. if its rainy. My favourite thunderstorm scent 9. SIP L'Invisible 10. Parfumerie Generale Harmatan Noir Great lists, folks.

Will have to try CdeG Avignon, too. Today, I put on some CdeG Sequoia and loved it in the hot weather: like being in a redwood grove. I'm going to try Tauer Incense Rose, too, and maybe I'll get a decant of SL Arabie just for the perversity of wearing it in the summer heat & humidity. :) On my bottleworthy list of warm-weather faves:

Guerlain Vetiver
Guerlain Derby (the original)
Tauer L’air du Desert Marocain
Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo/Cipresso di Tuscano
