]]> Summer is the perfect opportunity to experiment with fragrance. Not only because it is the perfect season for sweeter, more citrus-based scents, but because the turn of a new season kind of marks the turn of a fresh start when it comes to fashion and beauty. Say goodbye to the heavy scents of winter, and opt for something a little more summer-friendly this season. Here are some that we adore…

1 Musc Noir Rose For Her Narciso Rodriguez

Who said that musk-based scents were just for winter? If you’re a fan of oud or musk, this is the perfect summer offering for you. Super feminine and ultra-expensive smelling, this fragrance is packed with Italian bergamot and pink peppercorn which bring out its sweeter side, along with oriental vanilla to give it that perfect creamy finish. Not to mention, the luscious plum extract that creates a sense of mystery – a perfect go-to for hot summer evenings.

2 Parfums De Marly Haltane

A unisex scent from the brand that oozes sheer luxury, this fragrance is a sensuous woody aroma with a subtle floral finish. With notes such as saffron, cedarwood, praline and elderwood, along with top notes of bergamot, lavender and clary sage – the only way I can describe it, is that this smells like a forest during the peak of summer. Delicious.

3 Amouage Overture Woman and Man

Ever considered trying a ‘his & hers’ scent with your partner? This Amouage combination is the best way to give it a shot. They both have a spicy twist, but the women’s version has a beautiful floral and fruity finish, thanks to top notes like bergamot, rose and apple.
