Perfect summer perfume?

43 replies

pomadas87 · 23/06/2017 21:03

I am very close to buying EL Bronze Goddess (again!) and wondered if there was anything else I should be trying!
I always get a new perfume for summer holidays - last year was Nuxe le parfum which was heaven but didn't last that long.
Anyone have any great suggestions? I love ones that smell undeniably like summer in a bottle...

Clinique Happy Heart - I get stopped daily asking what it is, it's lovely & summery.

Talisin · 23/06/2017 21:10

SJP Lovely and D&G Light Blue. If you want to go the cheaper route then Next's Paradise is a dupe for Light Blue and they also do a Bronze Goddess dupe called Summer Sun.

My favourite summer perfumes are:
Armani si rose
YSL Parisienne
Dior miss dior blooming bouquet and absolutely blooming
Gucci flora ( pretty much all of them Grin )

VintagePerfumista · 24/06/2017 07:08

Annick Goutal Eau du Sud
Yardley Jade (don't laugh, it's become a cult perfume on the perfumista thread, and I can't tell much difference between that, and Eau du Sud except for the £40 price difference!)
Liz Earle number 1

All of these are crisp, green and citrussy.

These are my 3 go-to scents for hot weather.

Thank you, great suggestions I will look them out. These sound really fresh so great for daytime.
Any suggestions for coconutty type scents (like bronze goddess)? I've just remember Bobbi Brown Beach which was lovely but again, didn't have good staying power

Eternity Summer.

Creed Virgin Water is a wonderful fresh long lasting Coconut perfume.However its ££££ sadly.I pick up decants of it for summer from various places.Ebay,Crystal Flacon or uk decant companies.
Fresh Green perfumes that come alive in the heat are Fleur du Matin by Miller Harris,Tiare by Ormonde Jayne,Guerlain Nerolia Bianca, Chanel Cristalle edp and Calyx by Clinique.

My favourites are both by Dolce & Gabbana: Dolce (the original version which is greenish hued) and Light Blue.

Thought I'd try Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino as my winter perfume is Tom Ford and I adore it, but I actually found it smelled a bit bland.

OP try Body Shop 'Polynesian Island Tiare' - I wear Bronze Goddess too and love the Body Shop one probably even more. Plus it's about £20 cheaper!!

Also recommend M&S Island Escape which is lovely - sea salt and bergamot. Longevity very good for the price.

I adore the Nuxe perfume but it doesn't last a minute on my skin!

Banderchang · 24/06/2017 16:14

My favourite summer perfume is Calvin Klein Reveal. Good deals on at Amazon ATM.

Judydreamsofhorses · 24/06/2017 16:56

4160 Tuesdays "What I did on my holidays" is a perfect summer perfume, and my absolute favourite - but way more expensive - is Heeley Sel Marin.

tandt5 · 24/06/2017 16:59

My favourite summer ones are Clinique Happy heart, Daisy eau so fraiche and original be delicious by DKNY.

MusicToMyEars800 · 24/06/2017 18:15

Oh yes all the M&S perfumes are nice, good prices too.

BaronessBomburst · 24/06/2017 18:19

Tauer - Le Maroc Pour Elle.
The hotter and sweatier you get, the better it smells.

WeeM · 24/06/2017 18:19

Somebody on here recommended me Summer Sun for Next-smells just like Bronze Godess and it's £12!! Love it, the scent probably doesn't last as long but for £12 who cares!

WeeM · 24/06/2017 18:20

*From next

JaceLancs · 24/06/2017 18:48

I love Creed's Virgin Island water too.

Also lovely is Annick Goutal Eau d'hadrien and Rituals Yin and L'occitane Verbena.
Zara colognes for children are lovely and fresh too.

PurpleMadness · 25/06/2017 11:17

Agree, Zara kids is nice but doesn't last ling. Just trying Jo Malone Orange Blossom.

JanetStWalker · 25/06/2017 13:17

4160 Tuesdays, What I Did On My Holidays is half price this week. I got myself 9ml for £7.50.

TomaszCanSchafernakerMeAnytime · 25/06/2017 13:19

The new Neom one is nice. Expensive though.
