Default colognes and aftershave choices

I would like to know the general rule on colognes and aftershaves for summer and winter and so on.What I mean is do you choose citrus types in summer or what?

There aren't any rules really, just preferences. Some people like different scents for every season and some are content with Aqua Velva all year long. I think citrus is very popular in warmer weather though.

For some reason, I like my bay rum more in summer. in winter I lean more towards the vanilla. The pinaud classic and some of my more pricey colognes are year-round, depending on occasion and mood...

I've never heard of any rule or set convention, like the old no-white-after-Labor-Day thing. At least I hope there's not ... my life's too complicated, and I'm too easily confused, as it is. I just slap on some Pinaud Clubman, if anything, most days, summer or winter.

I do not think that there is any rule as to when to wear what fragrence. I tend to wear the same fragrences year round.

I do prefer citrus or type scents in the warmer months. In colder weather, I like warmer, woodsier scents. Bay Rum works all the time for me as does Tabac and Vetiver. YMMV. Try some and see what you like.

In warmer months I usually use La Toja or Proraso A/S.
During colder months I tend to use more spanish Floid A/S.
