Now I'll admit, these aren't all necessarily spring/summer scents; merely ones I like and would wear in the spring/summer. YSL Black Opium, for example, has notes including coffee, which might not be considered the most summery of scents; nonetheless, I love it! Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle is a beautiful scent, I've had a couple of sample vials and, despite florals not usually being my choice, I adored this with its notes of iris, jasmine, orange blossom & patchouli. I really want to try L'Occitane's fragrances and Arlésienne sounds really unusual, offering notes of rose, violet and saffron. Estée Lauder's Bronze Goddess is a summer classic which I've wanted to pick up for the last few years; the notes of bergamot, amber, vanilla and coconut sound absolutely gorgeous!
I had a sample vial of Lacoste's Eau de Lacoste Jaune and really enjoyed wearing it; it's quite a unisex fragrance but it really does smell like summer in a bottle. A lovely cheerful bright yellow bottle, at that. I've heard good things about Michael Kors's fragrances and Coral sounds just perfect for summer with notes of grapefruit, raspberry and sandalwood; I really love sweet and fruity scents so I'm dying to try this! And finally, the Penhaligon's Scent Library offers trial-size vials of ten of the brand's most popular fragrances; I love perfume testers as I think it's really important to get an idea of how a perfume settles on your skin and how well it wears, so I love the idea of this set.
Do you mix up your scents for the seasons? What are your spring/summer fragrances of choice?

the Bronze goddess is the one that attracts my attention the most! who wouldn't want to smell like a bronzed goddess? <3
ReplyDeleteSome great choices here! I don't really mix and match perfumes too much based on seasons, mainly because I have about 40 full sized ones that I love! I do tend to wear the lighter ones more often in summer though. 😊
ReplyDeleteReallly great list - I love giorgio armani for summer x
ReplyDeleteI want to get to Sephora ASAP and smell that Michael Kors Coral! I have been wearing Bobbi Brown's Beach scent and that evokes some great memories.
