Here are the best summer fragrances to spritz anytime - and anywhere, because summer fills up our senses. It reminds us of vacations, sun on our skin and the unbeatable feeling of freedom, a refreshing sea breeze, and warm joyful evening ... when long days turn into short nights.
Summer is known as the season of flowers and fruits - and that's why you will find as well these olfactory accents recommended for the hot season. But don't worry, there are uncountable other olfactory recommendations, too.
“PERFUMES ARE THE FEELINGS OF FLOWERS.” – Heinrich Heine
Every summer has its own stories, and so has every fragrance.

AQUA CELESTIA
Eau de Toilette
by Maison Francis Kurkdjian
A note from Maison Francis Kurkdjian says it best "Aqua Celestia forms a seamless bond between the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea ... A celestial, musk-scented escape."
Outstanding top notes convey mint, fruits and neroli, softened by base notes of white musk, while green nuances and rose create delicate heart notes. We love this elegant and refreshing unisex scent.

LIBRE
Eau de Parfum
by Yves Saint Laurent
Libre (French "free") stands for the feeling and mindset to experience everything to the fullest.
Yves Saint Laurent's signature scent celebrates the tension between Maroccan orange blossom absolue and French lavender. Is there anything more summer-like than violet Provencal lavender fields close to the French Riviera?
A sprizz of this feminine fragrance takes us exactly there.
Spicy Rose
ROSE PRICK
Eau de Parfum
by Tom Ford
A truly delightful perfume, created by three different kind of rose extracts (Bulgarian Rose, May Rose, Turkish Rose). This fragrance is anything but boring or heavy, due to being spiced up by top notes of Tumeric and Sichuan pepper. Warm base notes of patchouli accents and vanilla nuances create a vibrant contrast.
Inspired by his own rose garden, Tom Ford created a pure and clean perfume which is of course modern and timeless at the same time - like its well known high fashion.

JADORE INFINISSIME
Eau de Parfum
by Christian Dior
Sure, this perfume is all about infinity, and isn't it what summer is about as well? Endless daytime, infinite views where ocean and horizon touch, and most important a feeling of unbounded freedom while enjoying holidays.
Warm floral heart notes make this perfume infinitely sensual but don't underestimate fresh citrussy top notes and spicy accents of pink pepper to complete an intoxicating scent. Indeed Dior's fragrance is completely adorable.

MEMOIRE D'UNE ODEUR
Eau de Parfum
by Gucci
This elegant unisex fragrance is just outstanding. Its the first scent ever which conveys camomile.
Alessandro Michele, creative director of Gucci, once said "... perfume is that thing that even with your eyes closed, brings you to a precise moment in space and time ... A hybrid scent that resembles memory as much as possible."
Apply this scent to create (summer) memories, and to capture them.

GOOD GIRL GONE BAD
Eau de Parfum
by Kilian
Kilians luxury fragrance is mainly created by white floral accents (heart notes). The first sprizz opens with fresh nuances and softens by warm and slightly woody base notes.
Indeed this "lucious floral whirlwind" is extraordinary. The so called half innocent and half voluptuous scent belongs to Kilian's collection "In the garden of good and evil". That's not contradicting at all, and so is this perfume.

LA PANTHERE
Eau de Parfum
by Cartier
Cartiers feminine fragrance is without any doubt a head turner. The fruity introduction is followed by floral heart notes and comforting warm base notes. Gardenia makes this perfume outstanding and unforgettable at the same time.
Interestingly Jeanne Toussaint, Cartier's muse and love, was called "Panthere" by him. This fragrance is about being rebellious, graceful and independant, exactly what makes a woman (and of course a panther) so special.

Amber Floral
FLOWERBOMB NECTAR
Eau de Parfum
by Viktor & Rolf
As its name proclaims, this perfume is sweet floral, but definitely not too sugary! It might be, because surprisingly one olfactory nuance is gunpowder.
Viktor & Rolf's fragrance is in any case a bunch of cool but feminine bouquet of flowers. What else could be better to dive into summer nights than an intimate and mysterious scent like Flowerbomb Nectar?

Airy Floral
DAISY LOVE
Eau de Toilette
by Marc Jacobs
White petals of daisies remind us of love. "Does he/she loves me? Does he/she loves me not?" And indeed this fragrance is about love (for daisies).
The house of Marc Jacobs created a light floral scent which is just perfect for summer. One sprizz of this iconic scent makes you feel laying in a field of (wild) flowers on a sunny day.

NOMADE
Eau de Parfum
by Chloe
Dreaming about travelling and delightful weekend getaways during summer, one might think about the desire for open spaces and freedom per se.
Luckily the house of Chloe created the exactly themed fragrance: feminine floral but fresh earthy at the same time (by key notes like freesia and oakmoss). This perfume awakes your senses like a walk through dewy fields or a moss covered forest in the early morning.
Floral Fruity

Eau de Parfum
by Giorgio Armani
Could you imagine a fragrance, that matches summer weather?
This bright and warm scent with floral fruity accents and woody nuances is the answer. Because passion is key when it comes to this sensual fragrance: its sensuous composition, the red lipstick-like shaped flacon and of course its name (Si passione, Italian "passionate yes").
The house of Armani describes the perfume as "an irresistible combination of grace, strength and independent spirit."

Feel inspired by a sprizz of floral (and slightly woody) nuances of cactus flower and Joshua tree, and daydream of sunny California ... or where ever you wish to be.
