Smells Like Summer!
Summer – the most popular season of the year is a time when days are longer and vacation is on our minds. Warm, dreamy strolls. Ice cream on the boardwalk. Watermelon-packed picnics. Sun-soaked days at the beach. There’s nothing quite like summer and all those iconic moments we can almost smell the salty sea breeze even if we aren’t there yet. The perfect summer perfume is inspired by the season itself. The season’s familiar scents can transport you back to a time when you spent the day slathered in sunscreen at the beach or breathing in fresh-cut grass at a cookout on a warm summer night. Fragrance is something you wear for yourself as it can transform your mood.
These are the best new summer fragrances that you won’t be able to stop spritzing. From the latest addition to the Louis Vuitton Cologne Perfume series to Tom Ford’s reinvention of a well-loved fragrance, read on to discover our top picks.
