Summer scent?

Interesting. I have the Mugler Cologne, which I highly recommend. I have used 4711 long ago, and remember it as a light, very citrusy fragrance, while I get no citrus at all from Mugler Cologne, and I don't find them similar at all.
In response to the OP, I think both Mugler Cologne and Eau Sauvage are great summer scents.
+1 for Mugler
As far as Acqua di Parma Colonia - IMO it is a bit old school, but elegant and sophisticated... maybe the essenza would be a better choice.

Just recently tried the AdP colognes and I prefer the Intensa over the original Colonia personally.
I have a particular fondness for AdP Colonia and wear it all year, but it is better in the summer. Issey sport is nice in the summer, I just started wearing it again actually. I like Polo Blue in the summer as well, Burberry Brit not so much.
The Assoluta is designed by the same two guys that designed Pen's Sartorial. And to me it has that kind of vibe too. And yeah the Intensa is wonderful too. Under some conditions I might even prefer either of them. But when I think "summer" and "sun" and "beach" and "sea breeze" and maybe "Italian Riviera" I think of the original Colonia.

So, I bought a small decant of ADP Colonia. It arrived today. To me, it smelled quite dated (because, of course, it is) but not in a great way. Plus, it seems to have very little longevity. Somewhat "old man."
I guess I'm hoping for something more modern and maybe more fruity.

Longevity?
Florida water and AV ICE BLUE.
Rather enjoying YSL Rive Gauche this summer. Clean, aromatic scent that refreshes.

Maybe I should offer up a summer cologne that I almost liked: Acqua di Gio.
Except I smelled like a frat boy and I hate aquatic scents. But the rest I liked.

Monsieur Balmain.
A blast of lemon right off the top and then a nice woodsy warm dry down. Longevity is excellent for a citrus frag.

L'eau D'Issey- when it is hot
Vetiver Guerlain- when it is hot and humid

SWMBO gave me a bottle of Fahrenheit for our 26th and I've been wearing it ever since.
Prior, my summer go-to was Bigelow Elixer-White.
Got a sampler of GFT and GFT Spanish Leather from a local vendor and SWMBO absolutely loves the Spanish Leather... she detects a heavy citrus note even though we normally associate "leather" scents more with winter.
