Because People Like Lists: The Best Summer Perfumes



I know you like lists.

I live where it’s hot and very humid, so unlike the rest of the year, I lean towards light, airy florals, green fragrances, dry spices and energizing citrus scents during summer.

Without further adieu, here are my 28 favorite fragrances for summer in alphabetical order:

Ava Luxe Midnight Violet

Beth Terry Creative Universe Mare
Beth Terry Creative Universe Vita
Bond No 9 New Haarlem (note: love this in summer but I wear it all year long)
Bvlgari Green Tea

Diptyque Oyedo
Frederic Malle Carnal Flower (note: love this in summer but I wear it all year long)
Frederic Malle Le Parfum de Therese (note: love this in summer but I wear it all year long)
Givenchy III
Givenchy Organza Indecence
Hermes 24 Faubourg Eau Delicate
Hermes Eau des Merveilles
Hermes Un Jardin Sur La Nil

    How about DKNY (in the tall bottle)? I find that cool and summery.
    In hot weather (not that we get a whole lot of that, here!) I also like Sage Machado's 'Sage' oil, or Jo Malone's White Jasmine & Mint.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't tried DKNY and will now do so! I love Sage's "Sage" oil, too, but have never tried Jo Malone's White Jasmine and Mint, it sounds like an intriguing combination and especially good for hot weather.
