Looking for Spring and Summer perfume ideas? Here are some of my favourites.
Atelier Cologne Clementine California
Costs £55 (50ml) or £99 (100ml) from Selfridges, Feel Unique (global), Nordstrom (Americas), Brown Thomas (Ireland), Sephora (Canada)
I love love love this brand and this scent really takes me back to California. It is not just citrusy – it does have some sweetness, but just the right amount.
Hermes Citron Noir Eau de Cologne
Costs: from £50 (50ml) or £78 (100ml) from Selfridges, Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue (Global) and Sephora (US)
I bought this for Mr. O, but I really bought it for myself. It is divine. It is not too citrusy in a way – has some more complex notes – but it really is quite exquisite and a contender for a fabulous spring and summer perfume.
Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle
Costs from: £98 (50ml) at Harvey Nichols, directly with Estee Lauder or Selfridges in Europe and $170 (for the 3.4oz or 100ml) in the US at Bloomingdales or Sephora.
Aerin is the lifestyle brand created by Aerin Lauder, the grand-daughter of Estee Lauder (and someone I love following on Instagram. She’s so effortlessly stylish and I love the brand collaborations she does. Her perfumes are not easy to find in Europe, but where there is a will, there is a way. Mr. O gave me this one for my birthday.
Le Labo Fleur d’Oranger 27
Costs from £125 (50ml) at Liberty London and Harvey Nichols (for Europe) and $185 (for the 1.7oz) at Saks Fifth Avenue or Nordstrom in the USA and Americas.
I am mildly obsessed with Le Labo and absolutely adore the Fleur d’Oranger scent which I have actually been wearing through Winter and gets me compliments all the time. If you buy it at a Le Labo store, it gets compounded for you there and then and your name also gets printed on the label which is pretty cool. But online works too 🙂
Jo Loves Green Orange and Coriander
Costs from £70 (50ml) from Net-a-Porter, £115 (100ml) from Space NK, or $105 (1.7 oz or 50ml) from Sephora US
Jo Malone is back (after selling her eponymous company to a beauty giant some years ago) with a new brand and perfume range. Called Jo Loves, it isn’t too dissimilar to the previous concept which we all know and loved.
My favourite scent is the Green Orange and Coriander – but you have plenty of perfect spring and summer perfumes to choose from. The hand wash is also fabulous.
Let me know your thoughts if you try (or are currently wearing) any of these spring or summer perfumes below. And if you have any suggestions, you know where to find me 🙂
