Notes of Summer: Fresh, Floral Scents We Love

Warmer weather means it’s time for a fragrance shakeup. While in colder days we opt for musky complex scents, sunny skies pair beautifully with fresh, flower-infused blends that uplift the senses. Similarly, as we move from heavy creams and moisturizers to lightweight serums and SPF, we seek lighter compositions like eau de toilettes, scented oils, and hair and body products that leave behind evocative-and transportive- fragrances. Here, a look at our top fragrance picks for summer, and hint, hint they aren’t just found in perfume bottles!

Meant to capture that oh-so-lovely feeling of being lost and in the moment while traveling, we love how this rosy-hued scent makes us smell, but even more how it makes us feel.
