The best summer perfumes should do two things: they should capture the upbeat, carefree spirit of the season and, all importantly, having staying power on humid days.
My favourite summer perfumes, at a glance:
With the arrival of the warmer weather comes sundowners in rooftop bars, beachside cocktails on balmy evenings, spontaneous getaways and long days spent lounging in the sun. These are the moments that define summer – and the right perfume for women can both capture them like a time capsule and transport you back with a single spritz.
From bright, citrus blends to soft, delicate florals, I’ve rounded up the new, and already iconic, fragrances to carry you through the (hopefully) sun-drenched months ahead.
