Summer is finally here – the season we have all been waiting for! Bring on the picnics, long weekends away and perennial fragrances of escapism. As we swap our heavier winter scents for something more enlivening, this calls for floral and breezy beach scents to give us that seasonal refresh.
These uplifting fragrances are delicious regardless of temperature and the beautiful bottles will earn prime real estate on your dressing table.
Gucci – Bloom Eau de Parfum
Gucci bloom is summer in a bottle. Noted for its floral notes of Rangoon creeper, jasmine bud and tuberose you’ll smell like an exotic bloom. Additionally, the bottle is seriously chic.
Hermes – Un Jardin En Mediterranee Eau De Toilette
A firm favorite of ours. Described by Hermes as ‘to a garden of water, light and shadows, enveloping and sensual, where the fig tree is allied with Mediterranean zests’ the scent will transport you to a private garden in Tunisia.
Cartier – Pur Muguet Eau de Toilette
This fragrance will evoke romantic bouquets and summer days, leaving you smelling like a freshly cut Lily of the Valley. The bottle is also modeled on a 1926 vase with pretty flowers on it, which will look gorgeous on your dressing table.
Henry Rose – Windows Down Eau de Parfum
This scent is truly heavenly. With notes of bright grapefruit and an inkling of soft earl grey tea – it gives a light and floral finish.
Jafra – Eau d’Aromes Sunshine
If you were to bottle sunshine, this is what it would smell like. Its two most prevalent notes are Italian lemon and sunflower to give you the most cheery scent for the greyest of days.
Jo Malone – Nashi Blossom Cologne
Jo Malone is irrefutably one of the best noses in the world. In this fragrance, you can find notes of succulent nashi fruit and lemon, which makes a playful, efflorescent smell.
