Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue. Been around for ages, but lovely fresh summer scent.

Corygal · 04/07/2013 20:53

I don't know if DF do them, but try Les Senteurs and Annick Goutal. They do lovely seasonal flowery summer scents, rather intr'sting, but super-fresh without that Jif thang.

Versace Bright Crystal. Fresh and floral. I've never smelt anything quite like it.

Amazinggg · 05/07/2013 11:57

Paul Smith Rose. Lovely and light and fresh. If you like roses. If you don't, er, it's not for you.

Bvlgari omnia coral is my current favourite. Difficult to describe - fruity/tropical floral. Had someone ask me today what I was wearing as they said it smelt really refreshing.

Acqua Di Parma Colonia and Colonia Assoluta. £££ though

Mintyy · 05/07/2013 16:28

O de Lancome.

Justinepants · 05/07/2013 16:48

It won't help you with your duty free shopping but I've just got the Yves Rocher rose one, as recommended by a few people on here, and it's lovely - a very light rose, not particularly sweet smelling.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs - the bottle is pretty too

OverAndAbove · 05/07/2013 17:07

Yes, MJ Daisy for me too. I like Dot as well for a summer scent

Chicinwellies · 05/07/2013 20:50

Just in love with the brand new Dior addict eau sensuelle I've been complimented three times since buying it on Tuesday and it really is summertime lightness with a balance of femeninity - really, really pretty.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 05/07/2013 23:39

I've got the Yves Rocher Rose, it's lovely. I really like the Lilac and the Honeysuckle as well.

TSSDNCOP · 05/07/2013 23:48

Blackberry and Bay by Jo Malone

alltoomuchrightnow · 06/07/2013 02:11

any of the Graces eg Pure Grace..Philosophy...clean & fresh

kiwigirl42 · 06/07/2013 12:45

on a really hot day I wear Serge Lutens Fleurs de Citronnier - its a beautiful, strong lemon flower fragrance. Smells a bit like disinfectant at first and doesn't seem to be right unless the day is extremely hot.

He also does Fleurs de Oranger which is orange blossoms but I can't bear it as its got cumin in it which smells like cats pee to me. Yuck!

On a hot night, Serge Lutens Tubereuse Criminelle is a very sexy, sultry fragrance

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 06/07/2013 13:14

LiOccitane Verbena for me (but I don't think it's in DF though)

buttercrumble · 06/07/2013 13:29

Estee lauder bronze goddess (summer holiday in a bottle) Smile

auldspinster · 06/07/2013 20:57

Guerlain Herba Fresca and Clarins Eau des Jardins, both gorgeous and fresh smelling and easily available in DF. Oh and Cristalle by Chanel.

harbinger · 06/07/2013 21:53

Can you buy Corromandel at Gatwick North Terminal?

Favourite is Artemesia by Penhaligon's.

OrchidFlakes · 06/07/2013 22:35

Tom Ford Ombré de hyacinth

hollyisalovelyname · 07/07/2013 01:02

Annick Goutal l'eau du hadrien or Ninfeo mio

Chicinwellies · 11/07/2013 18:52

Ive just tried the new Dior Sensuelle it is Fantastically pretty.

itsnothingoriginal · 11/07/2013 22:42

I've just been given CK Eternity Moment which is lovely - floral and light, a real summer smell.
