Best Summer Fragrances: Gourmand and Floral
Steve Madden
Steve Madden Goldie Fragrance
We didn't expect Steve Madden to make it into the list of best summer fragrances this year, but we're fans of this sensual scent. Not only does it evoke good feelings, but the golden pear, jasmine and amberwood notes will give you a warm, confident feeling.
Sephora
Brown Girl Jane Carnival Eau de Parfum
Fruity florals are an absolute summer favorite to layer on the skin, and this fragrance by Brown Girl Jane is no exception. This fragrance contains Caribbean mango, whipped musk, and vanilla, making it the perfect blend of floral and gourmand – perfect for those who don't want to be overwhelmed by either.
Macy's
Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum
Marc Javock is not only known as a talented fashion designer, but he's also known for being behind some of the best summer fragrances we've ever smelled.
One to look out for this year is Daisy Wild, which contains banana blossom but also hints of jasmine, macadamia, sandalwood and vetiver des sables.
PS This is the perfume I wear to brunch meetings..
Sephora
Net Rose Parade Eau de Parfum
This one is inspired by spring afternoon spreads, but since it's still the beginning of a new season, I think it can be used in transitional times. It's scented with rose essential, ylang-ylang, and amber tonic, so don't be surprised if the bees mistake you for their favorite flower. No, really… just be careful. 👀
Mudo
Mood's new Eau de Parfum
We don't know about you, but we love a good bedtime fragrance. Personally, we like to spritz it on after showering and applying our body oil or butter. It's a perfect blend of cardamom, pink pepper, coconut, and neroli petals that will make you feel like you're sleeping in a bed of sweet-smelling flowers.
Best Summer Fragrances: Citrus
Saks Fifth Avenue
Tom Ford Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum
Not everyone likes warm gourmand or floral scents, which is why citrus scents are a great option. This scent is a bit woody, but it will remind you of your vacations in Cabo and spending quality time near the Pacific Ocean.
It's a luxurious scent like Gwen Stefani's famous single, and you'll find yourself humming “Let me snuggle in your lap with a champagne kiss” as the scent of oakwood, lemon and cypress hits your skin.
Sephora
Gucci Bloom Profumo di Fiori Eau de Parfum
This is the epitome of a summer citrus scent, with equal parts tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and Rangoon creeper, but don't be put off by the last note – you'll feel the furthest thing from a creeper when wearing this gorgeous perfume.
