A perfume that smells of summer

[Elvag]

Anyone recommend a really nice summer perfume.
Thinking cucumber, sea salt, sun cream, fresh outdoor dried sheets.
All the things that smell lovely and fresh without being too sweet or cloying.
Any ideas?

Yes, is that the red bottle (Clarins)?-I have it and love it 😉

I meant clarins, not Clinique, sorry. The wine posted for me.

I love the smell of cucumber too.

Elizabeth Arden do a green tea cucumber scent but it's only out in the summer I think. I have a bottle and although it doesn't last long it is so fresh.

Nuxe perfume I think is very summery

What a great thread.
The weather is getting on top of me. I'm now thinking a summer perfume is what's needed.

l'occitane Té vert is so crisp and intersting and fresh.

I hate sweety sexy musky scents though.

Clarins Eau Ressourcante- blue bottle. Fab!

If you like coconut scent Avon do one called Tahitian which always reminds me of summer

Elvag, also, try ''inis'' it's really beautiful. It's an irish scent, it's supposed to smell of the sea, but it smells nicer than the sea ! it smells salty. In a good way.

Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc, very summery but not in a suntan lotion smell way, love it and got lots of nice comments wearing it last week.

The red one is eau dynamisante which I use through the winter
Eau resourcante more summery and fresh, yes blue bottle

Hanae Mori (by Hanae Mori- the one with red butterflies on the box)

Virgin Island Water. It works on some people (meeeee) but not on others. Summer and happiness in a bottle.

Library of Fragrance Sunshine & Salt Air. They smell amazing mixed together! Cheap and cheerful too!

Second 4160 Tuesday's what I did on my holidays
Also this range, I have a couple and they're all lovely. Often in tk maxx http://cleanperfume.com/fragrances/for-her/fragrances

Bit more pricey (the one called lazy Sunday morning is lovely; smells of clean skin and sheets)

There's a perfume called Inis which is an Irish perfume but you can buy it online , I sprayed it in an Irish gift shop then travelled around the coast sniffing my arm and fell in love with it, my dad tracked it down and whenever I wear it ,which is nearly everyday,people comment, it's gorgeous xx

I second Givenchy's 'Eau de Givenchy', although it's hard to find these dsys; I think Harrods might stock it. It's part of the Givenchy Mythiques range.
I also like citrus scents in the summer, particularly orange-y ones (but not orange boossom/neroli) and I have one i bought on eBay called Naranja de Sevilla which is presumably Spanish. Hermès Eau d'Orange Vert is also lovely, very fresh and distinctive without being overpowering. I think it's aimed at men but to me it's quite unisex.

Escada always do summer perfumes which tend to be gorgeous and are usually my airport purchase! Just googled this summer's here. Sounds like it might be lovely

Ck Eternity Summer and Jill Sander Sun.

I love both - they are total opposites but both remind me of summery days.

rocco14 i wore Inis on my wedding day!

Loads of lovely suggestions on the John Lewis website. Want to go trying now.

Parroton was it from gap? I used to buy it every time I went shopping in Manchester. Little silver cannister.

Ralph Lauren Blue smells like sunbathing/swimming off the side of a yacht.

It's my summer fave.

Tartyflette, I was going to say that I loved eau de givenchy but it's discontinued so.... what's the point.

Try Burberry weekend for men and you will get a blast from the past. It is the closest thing I can find to eau de givenchy and i do wear it sometimes. It is a little bit masculine of course. But it's close enough to remmind me of being 19 and zipping around on a moto. (moped)

Lots of lovely scent on here. I yearn for Eau Suave, the loveliest rose scent ever IMO, but have never owned more than the sample as I can't justify another 100ml bottle .
