Citrus
Citrus perfumes are perfect for the summer because they are zesty, refreshing as well as versatile; it’s light and airy giving you a sense of calm and revitalization at the same time. Orange Soliea Eau de Toilette by Guerlain and Tangerine Boy Eau de Parfum by Phlur are some bold citrus fragrances.
Oceanic/ Coastal
To smell of the sea is what one needs this summer; oceanic/ coastal fragrances evoke the feeling of a summer evening with their marine notes of seaweed and salt along with floral notes for the fresh hue. Roja Ocenia Parfum and Replica Sailing Day Eau de Toilette by Maison Margiela are the coastal rejuvenations one can treat themselves with.
Fruity Gourmand
Fruity Gourmand is a luscious mix of sweet fruits with dessert-like notes, they smell like the candy shop of your dreams, it’s sugary and audacious at the same time. It is well suited for someone who enjoys warm edible notes evoking a decadent dessert scent; Nector de Passion Eau de Parfum by Le Monde and Bitter Peach Eau de Parfum by Tom Ford will be your go to!
Modern Florals
Modern Florals are a step away from the powdery flora scents and are a mixture of earthy, fruity, metallic and aquatic notes. Summer and florals are the best duo, Wild Bluebell Cologne by Jo Malone and LYS 41 eau de parfum by Le Labo are musky, sensuous, almost like fresh cut blooms softened by creamy woods.
Herbaceous
Herbaceous fragrances are the epitome of grassy earthy notes, they evoke nature’s calm accompanied by the feeling of a fresh forest scent which is subtly spicy, cool and crisp. H24 Eau de Parfum by Hermès and Chanel No.19 are genuine herbaceous scents that reconnect you to earth this summer!
