Acqua Di Parma
With its vibrant citrus notes and delicate floral undertones, this scent encapsulates the spirit of a Mediterranean summer. As the name suggests, it’s a tribute to the art of hand-harvesting oranges, a tradition that’s been passed down through generations in the sunny groves of Sicily. Each spray transports you to this idyllic landscape, where the tangy sweetness of freshly picked oranges mingles with the intoxicating aroma of blossoming flowers. The result? A fragrance that’s both invigorating and elegant, evoking memories of leisurely strolls along cobblestone streets, sipping refreshing Aperol Spritzes at seaside cafés. Not to mention that beautiful blue bottle hand-embellished with white, burnished orange, and golden motifs inspired by the ingredients. The only problem? It’s limited edition. So get your skates on.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
This stunning new scent from Francis Kurkdjian is a tribute to the power of simplicity, celebrating the beauty of clean, crisp notes that effortlessly transcend seasons. With its invigorating blend of zesty citrus, delicate white flowers and a hint of musk and matcha, it’s a symphony of freshness that dances on the skin. Each spritz transports you to a place of pure serenity, where the air is scented with the essence of a sun-drenched garden after a light summer rain. Whether you’re strolling through bustling city streets or basking in the warmth of a sunlit garden, it’s one of the best summer perfumes.
Guerlain
Sweet honey notes (from Guerlain’s own Calabrian beehives), delicious juicy figs, sparkling neroli and woody vetiver come together in this gorgeous new harvest-inspired scent. Transporting you straight to the rolling hills of Calabria’s countryside, it sparkles like the Italian summer sun with warmth and sweetness that leaves skin honey-kissed and smelling sublime. It’s also created using up to 95% natural origin ingredients, and the French beetroot alcohol used comes from a network committed to responsible farming. As perfumer Delphine Jelk explains, “Nerolia Vetiver is, first and foremost, and infatuation with Calabrian neroli. It is the love of Italy, its landscapes and its art of living. It’s la dolce vita!”. Bellissima.
Valentino
Speaking of Italy, Valentino’s new Born in Roma Donna Intense pays olfactory homage to Rome and its magnificent sunsets. The perfect summer scent for when the sun goes down and you swap your sandals for your stilettos, it’s a rich, powerful blend of vanilla and amber, complemented by a trio of floral Jasmine and a warming touch of benzoin. Intense, feminine and alluringly addictive, just a spritz of this and you’re guaranteed to turn heads, all summer long.
Roja PARFUMS
Can’t start your summer holiday soon enough? Well, if you’re itching to board that plane, check into that hotel and dive into that glistening ocean, then you need to treat yourself to Roja Dove’s Isola Blu. That holiday feeling in a fragrance, it’s a luxurious blend of uplifting, feel-good notes to instantly transport you to a five-star hotel. Lemon, lime, coconut, jasmine, vanilla and musk included. In the words of Dove himself, it’s “like a day spent beneath the Mediterranean sun”, all without a passport in sight. We’re also slightly obsessed with the bottle, which features a glistening turquoise crystal top reminiscent of tropical crystal-clear waters. Definitely one for the #shelfie.

Or, if it’s a stroll through the streets of London that you’re dreaming of this summer, then Thameen’s Fanfare is just the ticket. Inspired by the iconic Covent Garden flower market, it’s the perfect summer perfume for a balmy evening spent sipping on cocktails after a day lounging in the sun. Sweet, boozy vermouth and notes of zesty citrus fruits blend beautifully with a floral accord and hints of rosemary, juniper and musk to see you through summer soirées and evening escapades.
Aesop
Summer perfumes don’t have to be sweet or citrussy, as Aesop’s Gloam perfectly shows. Masterfully crafted to evoke a sense of anticipation as the day fades away and the world transforms into a realm of enchantment, its intoxicating notes of smoky vetiver, earthy woods and hints of delicate floral undertones paint a picture of intrigue and elegance. Each spritz unveils a symphony of aromas that transport you to a world where shadows dance and secrets unfold, long after the heat of the day gives way to the night.
Dolce & Gabbana
With its crown-topped bottle and captivating blend of juicy cherries, sensual cedarwood and sparkling Sicilian lemon, Dolce & Gabbana’s Q will give your summer fragrance wardrobe a royal upgrade. With its captivating blend of floral and woody notes, it evokes a sense of confidence and allure and celebrates the boldness and strength of the contemporary woman. It’s safe to say that after misting yourself in its aromatic, fruity juice, you’ll be ready to take on whatever summer throws at you. Yas queen.
