Summer Fragrances

The best summer perfumes are usually fresh, floral, citrusy, or even exotic. These are scents that remind us of sunny, vibrant tropics. Images of lush gardens, cocktail bars, and sun-drenched beaches come to mind.

Also, the summer heat often calls for lighter, fresher scents that will keep you feeling refreshed and not weigh you down. The reason being that warm weather causes perfume to evaporate more quickly, which means that more complex notes will muddle together acrimoniously.

And just about any note, in the right combination, can give off a summery disposition. A beachside fragrance, for instance, may have notes such as grapefruit, lemon, magnolia, pineapple, and coconut. In contrast, a blend with more flower power will come with notes of rose, vanilla, orange blossom, mandarin, and jasmine. Then there’s the option of something greener, with blends of bergamot, neroli, lemongrass, and peppermint – rounded off with a base of cedar, sandalwood, and amber.

It’s summertime, and that means pool parties, sunny destinations, warm weather, and of course, new fragrances to add to your collection. These are our favorite summer fragrances in 2022.

Top of the list is Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette. This scent is a delicious blend of floral and citrus notes, with a unique boldness that makes it ideal for summer. We also really love Byredo’s Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum, a soulful spirit of summer encapsulated in a bottle. It’s perfect for those sweltering summer days under the bright Californian sun. With its floral-sweet scent, this unisex fragrance is popular among women but can also be an exciting choice for men. Additionally, you might want to consider Yves Saint Laurent’s Libre. This is a gorgeous amber scent with floral notes of lavender, mandarin orange blossom, and sparkling neroli.

Summertime means different things to different people. For some, it is a time to rejuvenate and recharge after a long cold winter; for others, it is the time to enjoy the sun and party the long days away at the beach. In any case, regardless of what you have planned, a summer fragrance blend will complement it beautifully.
