Summer Fragrances We’re Loving Right Now

It’s the season of sweat but who said it can’t be about exquisite scents instead? 

When the heat picks up, it’s time for a switch in the way you’re smelling. Summer calls for scents that are lighter and fragrances that smell fresh. Those heavier notes are best kept for cooler climates; now is the time to keep it light, cool and clean. Think something with notes of citrus, sea breeze, light wood, clean musk, herbal or light floral. Essentially, anything that reminds of you the beach is usually a great idea for a summer fragrance.

Here’s our list of the new summer fragrances we’re totally loving for the season.  

Best New Summer Fragrances

Versace Crystal Emerald

With notes ranging from citrus and green rosebud to white musk and Brazilian tonka bean, this new Versace fragrance is that perfect choice for the day, or even that beach vacation you’re planning.

Secret Alchemist Rare Vanilla

Vanilla can feel a bit overpowering for some people but this one, from Secret Alchemist, is a of a softer interpretation of the same. Opening with heliotrope blossom, the fragrance also combines Kerala vanilla and tonka vanilla, to give you your new favourite summer scent.

KIKO Milano Scent of Milan EDP Isola District

Who doesn’t love a combination of blueberry, blackberry, rose & ylang ylang? This scent from KIKO Milano has all of that and more, making for a great summer fragrance that you can wear to brunch with friends. 

HUDA BEAUTY Easy Bake Intense Eau de Parfum

If you’re a fan of wearing fragrances that linger in the room, long after you’ve left, this new one from HUDA BEAUTY might just be for you. It beautifully contrasts sweet & spicy and has got notes of wild cherry, florals, cinnamon and caramel milk, along with vanilla bourbon.  

Bvlgari Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial

Bvlgari has taken inspiration from both the East and West and created a scent that’s perfect to wear, no matter which part of the world you’re in. Think Italian citruses mixed with Sri Lankan black tea – it doesn’t get more exotic than this! 

Acqua di Parma Buongiorno Al Bacio

When Calabrian bergamot mixes with orange blossom and soft musk, it results in a fragrance that’s both pure and passionate. Exactly like this one from Acqua di Parma that’s certainly going to be a summer favourite with everyone! 

Ahmed Al Maghribi Summer Oud

Oud might not have been a summer choice of fragrance for most people, but that’s because they’ve not tried this one from Ahmed Al Maghribi. It’s lighter, smoother and more understated while still carrying depth, making it great for hotter climates and even hotter evenings! 

Guerlain L’Homme Idéal Cologne Forte

While any Guerlain fragrance is always a great idea, this one makes for a great summer option. Think the freshness of grapefruit mixed with the warmth of vetiver and incense - what's not to love, right?
