The picture perfect pastel ensembles and floral accessories may seem to be all that you need as you embrace summer in full swing, but hold that thought while we walk you through the maze to help you choose your top summer notes.
Donna Karan Liquid Cashmere Aqua
If you are a fan of light, airy notes like us, we recommend you go for the light mint bottle of Donna Karan Liquid Cashmere Aqua. The subtle and sophisticated smell of this water-inspired perfume will remind you of the fresh ocean breeze, while lasting throughout the entire day.
Ideal for: Lunch dates or running errands during the day time.
Notes: Top notes of marine, middle notes of flowers and base notes of musk, woody elements.
Giorgio Armani Si Rose Signature
How can we make a summer fragrance list without talking about floral scents? If girly, floral perfumes are your thing, Giorgio Armani's Si Rose Signature is the one for you. Don't you worry though, the floral, fruity hints are toned down, and not overpowering or unpleasant. With a delicate whiff of rose and creamy vanilla, that feels like a velvety, milky lotion on the skin, this one is everlasting and ideal for those exclusive soirees.
Ideal for: When you need something a little less subtle.
Notes: Top notes of freesia, blackcurrant extract and iris, with base notes of musk and vanilla.
Versace Bright Crystal
Another floral cocktail on our list, this one, although more on the lighter and crisper side, is perfect for the sunny summer days. It's like smelling cucumber spa water while sipping on a sparkling lemonade. And the longevity is highly commendable.
Ideal for: Casual wear during the day time for that added sweet, sexy and sour vibe.
Notes: Pomegranate is the top note, peony and magnolia are in the centre adding an aquatic twist, enhanced with a hint of amber extracted from plants and musk at the base.
Lancome La Vie Est Belle
Another gorgeous fragrance is this classic pink bottle from Lancome. A little strong and intense, the first spritz may come off as incredibly sweet and candy-like, but as you delve more into its depth, woody spice notes can easily be traced.
Ideal for: Dinner dates when you are dressed to kill.
Notes: Blackcurrant and pear are the top notes, blended with drops of orange blossoms, iris, patchouli and vanilla.
Victoria's Secret Bombshell in Bloom
Feminine, with a sweeter top note compared to the rest on the list, without being overbearing. It's a lot like the original Bombshell but just with a little more kick to it.
Ideal for: Whether you're casually laid back, or formally elegant, this one is perfect for any occasion that you may consider special.
Notes: Pink freesia, red apple and water lily.
