Launched in January of 2019, this moody and feminine adaptation of Gucci Guilty is the perfect year-round go-to. It's a heavier, more drenched option compared to the others in this roundup, making it especially ideal for eveningwear. It features top notes of a Mediterranean fruit known as Mandora, which is enveloped in spicy bergamot and pink pepper. At the center is a bouquet of violet, lilac, and rose that's resting on a patchouli and amber base.
Your vanity couldn't possibly look prettier with a bottle from the Goutal Paris "Art of the Flower" collection. The collection includes two of their most popular fragrances — Petite Cherie and Rose Pompon — with a legit, stunning embroidered label for each. This isn't just a case of a nice cover, though: Both are light and refreshing scents ideal for these warm months and through fall, Petite Cherie features notes of sparkling peach, pear, musky rose, and just-cut grass drizzled with fresh vanilla. Rose Pompon combines Bulgarian rose essence and peony with the juiciness of raspberry and pink pepper — all atop a base of woody cedar, patchouli, and white musks.
Out of all the fragrances featured here, Byredo's newest eau de parfum, Sundazed, is arguably the most summer-forward. The brand has dubbed it a "psychosomatic journey of free love," and it features a top layer of bright lemon and juicy mandarin interrupted by a heart of neroli and jasmine sambac. An earthy soft musk and sugary cotton candy anchors it all together.
For an ultra-fresh fragrance, a little bit of Ellis Brooklyn's West is all you need. It was inspired by Los Angeles-based writers from the '70s — arguably one of the more unique inspirations we've seen in a fragrance. It sparkles with top notes of blood orange and other citrus fruits, which melt into soft waterlily and sharp vetiver.
The newest addition to the Juliette Has a Gun family comes with the warmth of rich vanilla, sea salt, and sandalwood. Aptly named, Vanilla Vibes was inspired by the famous Burning Man festival, and the goal is to transport the wearer into a dusty desert electrified with the sounds of music, an overwhelming sense of creativity, and a notably free spirit.
