Recommendations for a Gorgeous Summer Perfume

The kind of thing I usually wear in summer is Aqua di Gio, Be Delicious by CK.
Fresh and fruity.
I also adore Estee Lauder Pleasures Delight but maybe a bit cloying for the summertime.
Really love the Avon Reece Witherspoon fragrance In Bloom but it lasts about 2 minutes!! unfortunately always find this with the cheaper perfumesSad

PS Fresh and fruity isn't the name of a perfume but the type of whiff I'm looking for!

I love English Pear and Freesia by Jo Malone at the moment. Lasts well too.

Eau du Sud or Eau D'Hadrien by Annick Goutal

I love White Jasmine and Mint by Jo Malone. It's perfect for a summer's day - fresh, pretty, light, not overly sweet.

Don't think I've heard of a single one of those!!
Are they all online only, if so how would I go about trying them out?

CMD - try the sample service at lesscenteurs.com or visit Roja Dove in Harrods

Issey miyake, not sure what its called ut the pink one, smells lovely and lasts all day too

DKNY Summer is lovely for warm weather, light and fruity but not sickly IYSWIM. Comes in a huge 100ml bottle so can be quite liberal! THink Boots have it on special for under £30

eau de calandre paco rabanne if you can get it is divine.quite green and herby with a woody undertone

I love Dior Cherie and Beauty by Gucci. I don't have them though (tried them on in perfume hall) so can't comment on their staying power. At the moment I'm using Red Delicious which will probably be my fragrance for this summer

OsbegaEthelwulf · 25/05/2011 15:45

otchayaniye that Les Senteur website is fantastic; I want to order about 3 million samples!

Another vote here for English Pear & Freesia. I also love Sheer Beautiful by Estee Lauder.
