Its really hard to recommend because a perfumes performance differ from a persons skin. Not to mention most good performing perfumes are darker/rich scents which are better in colder weather.

But having said that, you can try out the following which has good longevity on me and IMO suits hot weather:

Armaf CDNIM
Dior Sauvage
Acqua di Gio Profumo
Paco Robanne Invictus Aqua

Just curious for Dior Sauvage and AdG Profumo, any reputable online stores (locally or intl) selling at a good price?

Guys, what's your max budget like for a perfume?

I was with two friends the other day at E.
1 girl, 1 guy.
The girl bought a MFK $355, the guy thinks it's overpriced despite how nice it is.
He wouldn't spend beyond a $100 for a fragrance.
Though he can well afford the $355 but would he rather spend on 3/4 cheaper fragrances at lucky plaza... thoughts?

I put down $400+ when Escentials brought in Le Labo Gaiac 10 at Paragon and that's pretty much a high water mark for me.
I've a weakness for limited editions though bargain hunting for mass market fragrances is a thrill too.

To me $200 is the max I can go for perfumes.
Family expenditure and savings comes first.

$100-$200 plus is the max I can go for fragrances. I wouldn't consider anything above $250.

My craziest purchase was Puredistance at $800+, but it's a Extrait Parfum in 100ml no less, one spray will last 2 days. The smell is unique unlike any other, no cheaper alternative comes close despite what fragrantica user says.

But at the same time, I also shop around for the occasional mass market fragrances which can be nice despite the price tag.

Yes, she bought MFK Baccarat Rouge 540. I liked it too, though it's a bit light to me.
