The sweetest summertime scents

Things I love about summer:
Long beach days
Cold showers
Chip butty sandwiches
Denim shorts
Backyard barbecues
And summer-scented perfumes.
While we all have our staples, just as our clothing changes with the seasons, so should our fragrances. The warmer months are ideal for experimenting with scents that embrace the essence of summer, so let’s not waste any time jazzing up the perfume shelf!
Here are some seriously summery scents to try this year:
The Body Shop Fijian Water Lotus Eau de Toilette
With mandarin and litsea top notes, Fijian water lotus flower at the heart and rose bottom notes, this delightfully refreshing daytime scent is like a vacay in a bottle. Just one sniff will whisk you away to the seaside. Spritz away!
DKNY Be Delicious
This fresh concoction is bursting with flavours that smell like a summer cocktail - think grapefruit, cucumber and apple. The fruity mix is beautifully complemented by floral notes of magnolia and lily of the valley. A youthful, timeless blend.
CK One Color Red Edition for Women
This one is floral with an addictive freshness that’s energising and completely invigorating. The first whiff is nothin’ but watermelon, which instantly transports me to the beach, and the underlying hints of patchouli, white amber and skin musk compliment that initial fruity punch.
Demeter Clean Skin
This is the ultimate shower-fresh scent. A blend of orange, lemon, white rose, bergamot peach and vanilla, it offers the enticing, aromatic smell of just-washed skin. Sign me up.
Philosophy Living Grace
I can’t help but adore a fragrance that bottles emotions, and this one does just that. It celebrates the beauty of living in the moment, and evokes a sensory experience that creates uplifting feelings of clarity and vibrancy. Featuring fresh neroli, soft clean lily and warm musk, it’s the smell of a brand new day. #cliche
Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean
With a delightful radiance, this scent is sensual and captivating, and sweeps the senses away to the Mediterranean sea. With soft florals and creamy woods, it conjures up thoughts of sunshine, clear skies, a warm ocean breeze and the crystal blue of the ocean. Say hello to the Mediterranean lifestyle, even just for a day...

I love the sound of these light scents, but I may as well spray water on my skin. Due to my weird skin chemistry, I need a perfume that's really strong.

I have worn Green Tea a lot in Perth's hot summers. A recent favourite is a citrus opening Kenzo that is lovely & light & turns into a pretty floral

I will completely agree with the Body Shop Fijian Water Lotus EDT. I was gift shopping and took one sniff of this and nearly bought it for myself. Very light and lovely.
