Ah, summer — the season of sunshine, spontaneity, and scent memories that stick with us long after the tan fades (if you tan!). One smell of sunscreen or wildflowers and suddenly we’re poolside, forest-bound, or stretched out under the sun doing absolutely nothing...
While citrus scents often steal the spotlight this time of year with their zesty, refreshing vibes, they’re not the only stars of summer. The longer days and endless adventures call for a fragrance wardrobe as diverse as your plans — from beachy brunches to twilight strolls.
So, whether you're craving something sparkling and bright or warm and sultry, we’ve rounded up our favourite summer scents to suit every mood and moment...
Like a flight of flowers, this light and intoxicating fragrance opens the doors to an enchanted and happy universe. Juicy raspberry mingles with mandarin for a sparkling opening before a trio of peony, rose and violets emerge. Finally a cherry-like undertone of heliotrope and musk cocoons the skin. The perfect companion for brunch with friends or even an evening date under the stars.
Your summer fling just whispered your name. Divine Nectar teases with the taste of golden afternoons—sticky-sweet honey slipping over sun-kissed peaches, a chilled rosé in hand, laughter dancing in the air. This is the scent of indulgence, temptation, and no regrets. The only question left? Your place… or theirs?
The sun blazed over Florence as you wandered across the Ponte Vecchio, the ancient bridge whispering stories of Medici grandeur. Golden glints from jewellery shops caught your eye, while the scent of leather drifted from timeworn workshops. You paused mid-bridge, gazing at the Arno’s shimmer, awed by the enduring beauty. This is the feeling of a new day, with endless possibilities to explore.
Sunlight danced through the tall grass as you both wandered the wildflower meadows, petals brushing against your ankles. The scent of hay hung sweet and warm in the air - familiar, like a childhood summer. Bees hummed, and laughter echoed across the hills. Evening drew closer, golden and gentle. Close your eyes and deeply inhale the moreish scent of hay, dried grass, honey and musky ambrette. We love to spritz this before a long walk through the fields local to us, before stopping off for a pub lunch in the late afternoon sunshine.
Mykonos, 2012. You're drifting on the back of a yacht over crystal-clear water, sun on your skin, the scent of coconut sunscreen mixing with sea salt. You lift a ripe fig to your lips. It is sweet, creamy, with a touch of brine. Laughter echoes from the deck above, where your friends are making Aperol Spritzes probably a little too strong, but you like them that way. This is a fragrance for lovers of golden hour, lazy days by the sea and interesting fig fragrances.
You wandered through the rolling hills of Seville, sunlight dancing on the trees. The air was thick with the scent of orange blossom and petitgrain, intoxicating in its warmth. Your only concerns were delightfully simple - what shirt to slip on and which tapas to try next. Today was a dream woven in citrus and stillness.
