I love having the perfect fragrance on to complement a vibe, and although summer is my favorite season I feel like it's the hardest to embody with a scent! Today I'm sharing my favorite unique summer fragrances that I've discovered over the years - they're primarily fresh, warm, and citrusy, so if that's your vibe, then you'll love these!

Clean Reserve Solar Bloom: Starting off with my #1 summer perfume pick! "Solar bloom" is the perfect name for this warm summer floral. The notes include bergamot, orange blossom, and coconut water which combine to create an ethereal fragrance that embodies the feeling of walking through a garden on a hot summer evening during golden hour.

Vacation After Sun: I discovered this fragrance last summer and recently purchased the body mist version that just came out. It's an invigorating fresh smell that almost reminds me of hairspray - the notes that stand out to me the most are aloe vera, green tea, and gin.

Pinrose Sun Saint: This is an extremely interesting fragrance comprised of many notes, to include lime, eucalyptus, mandarin, yuzu, sea salt, cashmere musk, violet, coconut wood, and sandalwood. It's a fragrance that you can't quite put your finger on - warm and sexy while still fresh and beachy.

Skylar Isle Escape: With notes of cardamom, bergamot, and sandalwood, this fragrance is the perfect combination of fresh, creamy, woody, and spicy. It makes me feel like I'm standing on an old wooden pier above the ocean breathing in the smell of salt air and sunbaked wooden planks. 

Replica Never-Ending Summer: I had to try this fragrance solely based on the name - you know my feelings about summer! Replica fragrances are formulated to evoke a feeling, and to me it gives the feeling of after-shower pre-dinner getting ready drinks on vacation. It's a very unique bitter citrus scent that reminds me of Aperol.

Replica Under the Lemon Trees: One of my besties introduced me to this fragrance a few years ago and it's truly a head-turner. It's a sparkling citrus that rests on a musk base and it's unlike any other citrus fragrance I've ever tried.

Guerlain Mandarine Basilic: If you're a citrus fan then this is fragrance is as good as it gets; fresh, juicy, aromatic... I don't layer fragrances often, but this is one that I like to layer with because the freshness complements many different scents. 

 

Le Labo Bergamote 22: Last but not least, another gorgeous citrus with zesty, herbaceous notes. This is a good perfume for any time of day, but it transitions well to nighttime with its slightly bitter notes that are stronger than a typical citrus.
