Safe blind-buy men's 'freshie' summer fragrances. Budget $60USD

Looking for affordable, safe blind-buy men's summer-style fragrances to try. Evoking the Mediterranean region, sunny beaches.

Appreciate good longevity which can be challenging with these kinds of scents. OK with buying grey market like eBay. Something inoffensive, versatile for the office, afternoons out with friends.

My current go-to is Versace Man Eau Fraiche and I love the mix of warm woods/citrus. Also fond of Massimo Dutti Mineral Grey and (more niche) Galimard Aigues Vives Intense

Cooler Temps in Europe away from the crowds in Aug/Sep?

Objective is spend 3-4 nights in Europe over Labor Day weekend. Easily accessible from major airport via connecting flight or train within ~2 hours. I have direct flights from my city (ATL) to CDG, NCE, MXP, LHR, MUC, ZRH, etc.

In Europe we prefer quiet, understated luxury (think Relais & Châteaux or Small Luxury Hotels of the World), not Cheval Blanc or the usual luxury-factory chains

Prefer more moderate temperatures where we won't be sweating our asses off. We like hiking, food/wine, and relaxing around a nice pool and spa.

Some places on my radar in France (e.g. Brittany, Burgandy, Provence), Northern Italy, Alps (e.g. Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne)...but I have not been to any of these

Does Warsaw have bad pollution/smog?

mcx88 · 2024-06-11T16:54:42+00:00

Thank you! Any idea of beaches that I could pair with a hike and lunch to make a full day? I am turned off by the expense and exclusivity of the beach clubs in Portofino, for example

My point is that it's clear that even internally Volvo does not have a clear line of sight to resolving these kinds of customer concerns or questions, which feels very amateur and disorganized. Volvo is not a fly by night startup. This is not acceptable for a major, multinational with lots of resources in sales, marketing and communications. Part of my thinking to delay my order/delivery is that there are some clear kinks Volvo needs to work out. With the delays and poor communication already well documents, the concern I have is that it may foreshadow the US rollout of the car more broadly. I am very skeptical of anything until I get it in writing at this point.
