Summer special: 7 best summer perfumes for women in 2020
TREND / 2020-07-08
Thinking of summertime, you can almost instantly think of sunglasses, sunscreen, matte lipsticks, waterproof mascara and fresh summer fragrances. Much like swapping your earthy nail colors for brighter popsicle shades, summer season calls for upgrading your scent drawer too. The warmer days are upon us, which means it's time to make way for fresh florals, tangy citruses, and breezy beachy scents. Not only are they guaranteed to lighten your mood, they're timeless fragrances that you can wear beyond summer. Even though this summer you might not be hanging out in the sun as much as you’d like to, because of the global pandemic situation, a new summer perfume might just take some of your lockdown woes away. Fragrances have this thing about them that can remind us of, and virtually transport us to the exceptional beach evenings spent with friends and delicious fruity cocktails. Summer scents are instant mood-lifters, and as we continue to stay at home and practice social distancing, a new perfume or two might help take your mind away from all the chaos and live in the fineness of a relaxed moment.
There are plenty of great smelling perfumes to choose from, yet picking the right ones for you can indeed be intimidating, especially when you’re shopping online. One might be too fruity for your taste, while the other one might be too woody. One might be too strong a scent for your preference and the other might have a mix of never-heard-before notes. All in all, it’s hard to pick the ones that will fit you just right. Where fragrances are concerned, we believe in resurrecting the old classic ones as well as trying out new brands and scents (if you try, you’ll never know, right?). From Chanel, Dior and Viktor & Rolf, to Creed, Miller Harris and more, we have gone through our entire catalogue of fragrances to narrow down on the top seven summer fragrances. Ahead, 7 perfumes that you’d wanna keep close all summer, be it any occasion.
1. CREED Love In White For Summer For Women Eau de Parfum
A mesmerizing combination of Bulgarian Roses, Calabrian Bergamot, Sweet Magnolia in the top note, make this scent from the Parisian brand a perfect match for the modern-day bohemian and day-dreamer. Further, the gentleness of Florentine Iris, rawness of Basmati Rice and balsamic Virginia Cedarwood just scream summer and versatility. According to some customer reviews online, This scent – ‘’transports wearers to the French Riviera where chic white accessories, crisp waves and long holiday escapes reign’’. We say, anything inspired by France is guaranteed to evoke glamour and calmness. This one is a must-try for the ultimate escapist trip from working from home to working from the lush gardens of Eiffel tower on a partly cloudy day! (we paint a picture, don’t we?)
2. VIKTOR & ROLF Magic Lavender Illusion Eau De Parfum
Dutch fashion-house, Viktor & Rolf has made a huge name for themselves when it comes to perfumes. The increasing popularity of the brand’s fragrances over the past few years is purely because of how niche their collections are. The Magic Lavender Illusion Eau De Parfum is a luxurious and elegant scent that contains notes of Lavender, Sambac Jasmine, citrus caviar, galbanum essence. A perfect blend of floral and fruity notes that will charm the wearer and everyone surrounding her, every time it's worn. It also contains Patchouli and Pine notes that radiate a nostalgic vibe, like remembering the joy of a childhood beach excursion and that fresh morning bath in the salty sea-water.
3. CHANEL BEAUTY ALLURE for Women Eau de Parfum
Mandarin, nay rose, vanilla, passion fruit, peony accord, oriental facet – this list of notes seems too good to be real. We could almost stir up a potion out of these and make summer cocktails with it. By now, we hope it’s obvious how much we adore the Allure perfume by Chanel. It is a floral fragrance that is not overwhelming, with impossible to resist peony accord notes that could only have been by romantic love novels by Jane Austin. Ladylike and effortlessly classic, this rose-forward fragrance is pleasant, all-day wearable, and does not scream for attention.
4. PENHALIGON'S The Revenge of Lady Blanche for Women Eau de Parfum
If the powerful feline design of this perfume bottle itself is not enough reason to add it to your collection, the iconic heart note of a narcissus flower sure is. This fragrance by British perfumer Penhaligon also wafts of powdery oris and hyacinth notes. Pure and ethereal, The Revenge of Lady Blanche smells is captivatingly untamed as its name sounds.
5. MILLER HARRIS Sublime Blossom For Women Eau de Parfum
Just like on a late summer afternoon walk, notes of Bergamot Calabria, Lemon Sicily, Sweet Orange Tunisia and Neroli Tunisia play together for an enthralling perfume you’d wanna wear all summer long. From the house of London-based perfumer, Miller Harris, the Sublime Blossom perfume is like a bottled fruity ecstasy that smells like a fresh spring breeze.
6. NARCISO RODRIGUEZ Narciso Ambree For Women Eau De Parfum
This musky perfume reveals the sensuality of a radiant and confident woman. We’d describe this one as a homage to the magic of bon vivant summer nights. This one is not a typical summery beachy spritz. With ylang ylang, white flowers, and frangipani, it warms into musk and amber, and dries down into an envelope of cedar, and vanilla.
7. VIKTOR & ROLF Flowerbomb Eau De Parfum
We kept the best for the last – Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de parfum. This one is so popular that you might already have heard about it from a friend or seen beauty influencers gushing over it. It has the ability to lure both the floral and spicy/sweet sets of fragrance lovers with its tea, bergamot, sambac, jasmine, orchid, freesia, rose, patchouli notes. This scent is designed to evoke a subtle, early morning earthiness that instantly feels addictive post-spritz.
Summer beach days or wine-sorbet nights might not be tantalizingly close right now, but you deserve to live a moment of virtual luxurious jaunt to some far-off destination and enjoy a break from emails and Zoom meetings. All you need is a bit of backyard sunshine a warm afternoon and a blissful fragrance. Because what goes better with that smell of sunshine than a breezy eau de toilette?
