Your favorite niche for a night out / summer / date 0

Hello! Title self-explanatory and I've been interested in niches Smile

If you were to go on a date/flirty night out with someone in a hot summer eve, which niche fragrance would you use to feel special and confident?

I don't feel I own anything for this type of occasion yet. I am looking for something maybe green, fresh but not boring. Most of the greens, citrus and fresh I see are associated with daily, sport, but I want something that really makes me feel special (and does not evaporate too quickly!). Preference for nothing that is fruity or sweet. 

Cheers and sprays!

Un Jardin en Méditerranée I'm almost forcing myself to wear something else for dates in summer evenings.
You could also check those out:
Monarch
"Renaissance | XerJoff"
Bergamote Fantastico Extrait 11 (for me bergamot is green citrus)

more citrusy but also great for dates in the summer:

Noa Noa
Debaser Eau de Parfum
Rhizome 03

I love some Masque Milano gems for summer: Catherine or IV-II Ray-Flection, Vaiana.

Intense Cedrat Boise works pretty well as a night out, with fresh notes but some oud and musk undertones

Thanks, all of you! Great recommendations, I saved some of them to check it out!

I have zero idea what's considered niche, but since Hermes was mentioned earlier in this thread, I guess anything I have to offer is fair game at this point. So here goes:

Earth. It's green. It's floral. It's earthy in the most delicious and wet way. It might be a bit on a heavier side because of its florals, but if the point is to feel special and confident on a special night – it'd be perfect for me. It packs a statement.

In a similar statement-packing vein – Solo Vulcan. But it's on a bitter herbal side and definitely not a crowd pleaser – if you're going to sit in an enclosed space on a humid summer evening, you can easily overdo it and give someone a headache. So I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. I usually pick it when I spend my time outside in nature ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Taking a sharp turn and going in a completely different direction – Comme des Garçons 2. It's a very sleek and gentle scent that's unlikely to bother other people around you. Elegant, fun and playful journey for you; and a shimmering little secret you may or may not decide to share with someone else. Hard to describe in just a few words, but hey, so are you.

And if it's super special, Piazza di Spagna. It's described as fruity on Parfumo, but I honestly don't feel that. But then again, I've owned my bottle for more than a decade, and even back then it came to me secondhand from a little local shop where some enthusiast was selling off his unused antiquities. It's fresh, it's peppery and uniquely herbal. It has a peculiar overall scent I haven't been able to put into words or find anywhere since. If there exists a scent that is truly me – that has to be it.
