Answer:
Travtex:
Bowling Green is an 'aromatic', it's designed as an outdoors scent. Gin and tonic time.
You can look up both Beene's in the review section.
Not sure about the recs for Geir and Creed's Vetiver. If the temperature and humidity skyrocket, Geir (one of my faves, btw) might be way too heavy. And I think Creed's 1948 Vetiver rather than the 'original vetiver' would be better, too.
The OV is a class act, to be sure, but the 48 is 'mineralic' --smells as if there were a spring over mountain rocks---again, I'm going on the weather condition. Hell, it was over 80 degrees a couple of days ago in LA, and just a bit of Guerlian Vetiver was overpowering!
On the other hand if you're going to be mostly indoors with the AC on full blast and want to be reminded of the coolness of mountains, that's another story.
Be Well,
Mario.

Answer:
You may like L'eau Bleue frais, ( ambery mint with aquatic fresh rosemary lying in a bed of subtle may rose petals), or even Bvlgary Aqua! (calone (watery component) and ambery posidonia plant, it's wet and herbal with a hint of iodine)
This two worth a try!

Heh! 80 degrees is 'Winter turning into Spring' weather, here. Picture a Concho Valley summer: About 95 degrees, 50-plus percent humidity. Good flash of rainstorm in the afternoon to jack THAT up a bit...
Last summer I didn't think the 100+ days would EVER end.
Rather bake than freeze, though. It got under sixty for a few days recently and I was considering moving further south.

Answer:
Some of these suggestions are good such as XS/Himilaya (I would advise going with the non-Creed) and OV/Mugler Cologne (once again, the non-Creed). However, Vetiver and Eau Sauvage arent too fitting because although they are outdoorsy, they are neither crisp nor cool.
Now Greenergy, that's a crisp scent. It's my SOTD and only a few people know about this little gem of a fragrance. It screens fresh fields of grass rich with dew and crisp, golden sunlight on a misty, spring morning.

Answer:
Infusion (2003) by Bombay Sapphire. This is a fragrance based on Bombay Sapphire's Gin. If you want to get an idea of what it smells like, just get a Gin Martini made with Bombay Sapphire Gin. It really is an exceptionally good and long lasting fragrance for summer, crisp and cool without being cold and distancing. You are not likely to find it in a store, be being available at Duty Free shops as a gift with purchase but you can usually find it on Ebay at a reasonable price.

Answer:
CK Be and bathe in it.
