If "sunny" had a scent, it would be this cologne from Snif's Notewrks collection. It's bright and undeniably citrusy, but it's not too sharp, since the pop of citrus gives way to the balanced warmth of tonka bean and cedarwood. The dry down is nice and subtle with notes of vetiver and soft woods that sit close to the skin and give it a natural finish. It's the perfect fragrance for sunny summer days.

One of our all-time favorite fresh colognes, Dolce&Gabbana's Light Blue eau de toilette is fruity and uplifting while still being sexy and slightly masculine. It's a new formulation of the classic Light Blue Pour Homme, which launched in 2007, and this new version is smoother and a bit sweeter than the original—it relies on notes of lemon, rosemary, and patchouli for fun coastal vibes.

The first time I smelled Maison Margiela's Bubble Bath eau de toilette from the Replica collection, I was delightfully surprised at how a fragrance could smell so clean. I literally felt like I had just stepped out of the most luxurious bath of my life, and that's thanks to the clever blend of fresh, floral, and musky notes here. Right off the bat, you get a distinct soapy accord that smells like a bubble bath (hence the fragrance's name), which gives way to powdery florals. Base notes of white musk, coconut milk, and patchouli keep it smooth and grounded and help keep it a versatile unisex fragrance.

Another adjective you might think of when it comes to lightweight colognes is "airy," and it doesn't get more airy than Feel Yourself's Air eau de parfum from the brand's Elements collection. I mean, it's literally the name of the fragrance (in both French and English). Citrusy notes of grapefruit and lemon combine with green notes at the top for a gentle balance of fruity and earthy without going too deep into either. Subtle spices along with amber, moss, and musky notes keep it light and skin-like.

Woody colognes tend to have a little more depth and darkness than your typical lightweight colognes, but Fulton & Roark's Ghost Trees is surprisingly subtle and even a bit aquatic. On top of juniper, cypress, and woody notes, ocean ozonics and airy marine notes provide a fresh feeling, evoking a salty sea breeze or coastal shore.
