After my scent-searching, this is what I found to have the most silage and attraction towards.

I live in Washington, so the seasons love to change.

Spring: Issey Miyake - L'eau d issey, L'eau par kenzo, and Bvlgari - pour homme

Summer: Bvlgari - Aqva, Hugo Boss - Hugo ,Azzaro - chrome, and Nautica - Pure

Fall: Chloe & lamar - Unbreakable, Victororia's secret - very sexy pour homme, Antonio Banderas - Antonio (honey comb bottle)

Winter - Lancome - Hypnose, Burberry - Brit, Givenchy - Pi, Dirty English, Bvlgari - pour homme extreme, and Antonio Banderas - The golden secret

Give them a whiff at your local perfumery
