Although I tend to stick to one signature scent
year round, during the summer months I find myself gravitating to much fruitier
and warmer scents. Be adventurous, and play up how you are feeling that day (or
night!) with different scents. These are my current favorites I’ve been
reaching for this summer season:
Summer Days
1. Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush in Plumdrop - I
normally dislike berry smelling perfumes but for some reason I am drawn to this
scent. The smell lingers on your body and smells great even after your day is
over.
2. DKNY Be Delicious – This is such a classic fresh
scent. It gives off a slight green apple smell that is so invigorating and clean,
it will smell like you just stepped out of the shower.
3. Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Summer Fragrance –
One of my all-time favorites. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this
scent is. The main notes are grapefruit, black currant, and lily of the valley.
It is citrusy, florally, fruity, and fresh smelling all packed into one bottle.
Phenomenal! *Note that I list its original counterpart in my evening favorites!
Summer Nights
1. Issey Miyake’s L'Eau d'Issey – I can’t say enough
about this fragrance. Once you put it on, you automatically feel sexy. The notes listed for it are: Lotus, Freesia, Cyclamen,
Rose Water, Fresh Peonies, Carnation, White Lilies, Precious Woods, Osmanthus,
Tuberose, Amberseed, Musk. It has the most unique scent I have ever
smelled and I always get questions about it and compliments when I wear it.
Perfect for a date night!
2. Marc Jacobs’ Lola – Honestly this was not one of
my favorites from the start. I picked it up solely on how pretty the bottle
was. C’mon, we are all allowed to be a little shallow sometimes! I disliked it because
it is more of a musky smell, and I tend to stray away from musky perfumes as
they are typically not my thing. However, a few months after purchasing it, I
decided that I might as well use it because that pretty bottle cost me a pretty penny. “Waste not, want not” right?
Well, it definitely grew on me as I almost always spritz it on now when I’m
going out with my girlfriends. It is a strong smell and a little goes a long
way, but it does always make me feel girly and feminine when wearing it.
3. Victoria’s Secret Bombshell – The one and only,
the original. This perfume is probably one of my top three scents of all time. My
bottle is almost all gone because I use it so much! If you are ever in Victoria’s
Secret and are overwhelmed by which fragrance to choose, definitely pick this
one up!
