Think sunshine doesn't have a scent? Demeter says it does and the brand spent two years trying to put sunshine in a bottle. They sought to replicate the scent of cotton warmed by the sun and this is the resulting fragrance. It's clean and refreshing and does carry an air of fresh laundry — with a dash of vanilla and a splash of citrus. Try it for yourself and see if you agree.
This vibrant bottle is as summery as a pair of flip flops or a floral maxi dress. The limited-edition cologne is a splurge, but it lasts all day, unlike spray-and-they-are-gone body mists. It sets itself apart from other tropical fruity fragrances because it mixes passion flower, cherimoya fruit, pear, tonka bean and Brazilian copahu resin. The fragrance is fresh, exotic and best paired with bronzed skin and a wet-look hairstyle.
Philosophy Pure Grace Endless Summer Eau de Toilette, $49
Never want summer to end? Keep the warm weather vibes alive with this limited-edition EDT. The Instagrammable packaging makes the seasonal vibe clear and so does the scent. It's a refreshing fruity floral fragrance that combines pomelo, musk and iced lychee.
Whether you wear fragrance to the beach or not doesn't matter because you'll want this summery scent in your fragrance collection. It's inspired by the beach and features notes of mandarin, jasmine and, yes, sea spray. It's light, refreshing and will cure a case of the beach blues. It's versatile enough that it can be worn to almost any summer event.
It wouldn't be summer without the sun. Add some to your day with a spritz or two of this EDP. It brings to mind the essence of sun-warmed skin (without having to worry about harmful UV rays) with notes of jasmine, vanilla, benzoin and ylang ylang. It's the warmer, deeper sister to the Acqua di Gioia Eau de Parfum.
