It doesn't matter where I'm going, I always smell great, and chances are if you're reading this, you love to smell good as well.


Here are my top 10 for the best summer scents that will have people turning heads or asking you what perfume is that? Also, I match my perfumes to go with my outfit and makeup, as I consider fragrance a part of my look.



Fresh and Citrusy

Tom Ford Neroli Portofino: Escape to what I like to think the Italian Riviera smells like with this invigorating citrus scent. This perfume to me captures the essence of a summer day along the Mediterranean coast with its notes of Tunisian neroli, Italian mandarin orange, and Sicilian lemon. Hints of jasmine and orange blossom add a touch of floral sweetness, while base notes of amber and musk provide a touch of warmth and depth. This fragrance is perfect for those who want a fresh and sophisticated scent that will last all day long. I can imagine wearing a flowing white linen dress, glowing skin and a lip stain.


Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue: This is a summer fragrance classic. This scent is light and airy, with top notes of lemon, mandarin orange, and apple. The heart of the fragrance is floral, with jasmine and white rose, and the base is woody and musky, with cedarwood and musk. Light Blue is perfect for a hot summer day or for a stroll around the city, as it is refreshing and invigorating. It is also a versatile fragrance that can be worn for any occasion.


Floral and Romantic

Chloe Love Story: This is a delicate and feminine fragrance that is perfect for summer. It is what one my favorite perfumes, and I only wear it for special occasions. The scent opens with fresh notes of neroli and grapefruit, followed by a heart of rose, magnolia, and stephanotis. The base of the fragrance is warm and musky, with cedarwood and musk. Love Story is a romantic and charming fragrance that is perfect for a summer date night, truly.


Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet: This a bit more cheerful and youthful floral fragrance. This scent is perfect for summer days, as it is light and airy. The top notes of the fragrance are peony and rose, while the heart notes are jasmine and apricot. The base of the fragrance is musky, with white musk and white wood. Blooming Bouquet is a long-lasting fragrance that will keep you smelling fresh all day long.


Woody and Aquatic

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne: Picture yourself on a breezy coastline as you apply this enchanting fragrance. The sea salt and wood sage come together beautifully, creating a rejuvenating scent that feels like a breath of fresh air. With hints of citrus adding a touch of vitality, it's perfect for those sunny summer days. If you're looking for a fragrance that brings a sense of serenity and freedom, this cologne is a wonderful choice


Creed Virgin Island Water: Imagine being whisked away to a beautiful Caribbean paradise with just one whiff of this incredible unisex fragrance. I swear it feels like being immersed by the refreshing scents of lime, bergamot, and mandarin orange, mixed with the notes of hibiscus, ginger, and jasmine. And to top it off, the warm embrace of musk, sugarcane, and rum will make you feel like you're on a luxurious vacation, basking in tranquility and pure bliss. I could use that type of vacation at this very moment!

Fruity and Tropical

Byredo Sundazed Eau de Parfum: It's like capturing the fun vibes of summer in a bottle! Imagine a mix of juicy fruits like peach, plum, and black currant, with a touch of sandalwood and musk for that extra oomph. And oh, don't forget the hint of sweet white florals! It's a playful and classy scent that's perfect whether you're chilling at the beach or on a rooftop. So refreshing and vibrant!


Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum:  She's is all about those sweet fruity-floral vibes. You've got black currant and pear in there, plus a little something extra with iris, praline, and vanilla. It's like wearing a delicious dessert as a fragrance - yum! Even though it's still fresh and happy, this perfume brings a more luxurious twist to those typical summery scents. Layers well with other fresh florals.

Sensual and Exotic

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum:  A lot of people love this perfume and this summer i have been loving it. This fragrance is a captivating blend of floral and oriental notes. A surprising combination of lavender, mandarin orange, and jasmine, which gives way to a heart of Moroccan orchid and orange blossom. The base rests on a warm and sensual foundation of ambergris and vanilla.  Confident and sophisticated scent that pairs well with going dancing on a summer night with your best people.


Gucci Bloom: I would say this is a heavy take on summer floral. This fragrance features a heady mix of tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom, creating an intoxicating aroma. The earthiness of orris root and the depth of musk in the base notes add a touch of complexity and intrigue. Gucci Bloom is a sensual and long-lasting fragrance, perfect for those who want to leave a lasting impression. I have layered this with Love Story by Chloe and this is the ultimate romance combo.


With these, you can't go wrong. Let me know what your current summer perfumes are, or what your summer staples are.
