Summer break may be a thing of the past for many of us, but just because we don't get three months off doesn't mean our social calendars are less packed. Backyard BBQs, weddings, date nights en plein air ... there's a certain sense of freedom and hopefulness about summer that no other season can match. And since scent is one of the biggest memory triggers, there's no better way to remember these stolen summer moments between work and other responsibilities than a special summer fragrance.

These new perfumes capture the essence of summer, and pair perfectly with the season's most delightful moments. From sweepingly romantic florals to sparkling fruits to seductive musks, there's a fragrance here for every warm-weather occasion.
