One of the Clinique ones always reminds me of a holiday kind of smell. Is it Happy?

Orange detail to the bottle.

Yes I have sunflowers, love it. I nipped to next earlier and got the summer sun! It's really nice but doesn't last long on me! I think I will treat myself to the bronze goddess next payday! Thanks for taking the one to reply.

Pacifica 'Persian Rose' has a lovely heavy floral note.

At the Beach 1966 by CB I Hate Perfume. Also Monsieur Hulot's Holiday by the same brand.

Yet another vote for Nuxe, they also do a 15ml size in their travel kit which is handy.

VladPutin · 04/05/2018 16:47

I’m surprised more haven’t mentioned Nuxe

Jo Malone nectarine blossom and honey. I wore it on a week long and very hot work trip in Madrid last summer and I still have lovely memories and received lots of compliments.

Weirdly I find Nuxe too sharp for the summer! I love it in autumn when my skin is cooler and I don't keep getting hit by the waves of citrus. Probably just me though Blush

For me the Laura Mercier gourmandes are unbeatable. Greek islands, Seychelles, they’ve come with me to lots of places and always remind me of sunny climates. Always have lots of nice remarks too x

Huge second for JM nectarine and honey blossom.
But my ultimate is D&G Light Blue - it is summer in a bottle..

JustGettingStarted · 05/05/2018 06:27

Guerlain Terracotta. It smells like a sunny piazza. It's a limited edition sort of thing. I think it's back available now.

@ShirleyValentineswall no I haven't! I must order some. I'm in Ireland and we used to have an Yves Rocher shop here but it's closed down so I can't go in & play with all the lovely products any more 😥 They've also discontinued my absolute favourite perfum 'Nature' - v sad.

SickofThomasTheTank · 07/05/2018 15:28

Tahitian Holiday by Avon!!!!!!! Honestly, try it. Only £5.99 a bottle. Not like anything I've ever smelt! Very Coconut/Suncream-y

LaCerbiatta · 07/05/2018 15:48

Surprised no one has mentioned Hermes Jardin sur le nil or Jardin en Mediterranee.
Or any fig ones - that's what holiday smell like to me

KarenfromFinance · 07/05/2018 17:51

Sisley no 3 is gorgeous. Lemon and ginger.

MissisBoote · 07/05/2018 19:07

Tom Ford soleil blanc - the ultimate holiday in a bottle.

ArsenicNLace · 07/05/2018 19:42

CK One Summer and D&G Light Blue.

winterinmadeira · 07/05/2018 19:44

Christian Dior dolce vita

dementedma · 07/05/2018 21:59

thanks to this thread just treated myself to bottle of O de Lancome at airport. Gosh,it brings back memories and is gorgeous.

snapple21 · 09/05/2018 13:34

Marking my place for duty free

ShirleyValentineswall · 10/05/2018 20:29

@Onynx I buy mine from naissance or enaissance, can't remember the name exactly. I don't think theirs is manufactured in Tahiti like Monoi Tiare Tahiti but if it goes through the same process it's all the same thing to me. Avon Tahitian Holiday like I and another PP mentioned upthread is meant to smell like monoi, can't quite detect it myself but I'm not a fragrance connoisseur by any means.

ShirleyValentineswall · 10/05/2018 20:32

Oh and there's this! This does smell like the real thing to me.

Not a perfume obviously but was just an impulse buy one day when getting SPF, clearly this has none but couldn't help but pick it up.

AwkwardSquad · 10/05/2018 20:43

Séville à l’aube by L’Artisan Parfumeur. Gorgeous. And Clarins Eau Dynamisante for everyday.

Grimtimes · 10/05/2018 21:09

Another vote for Escada summer editions...the best one ever was Cherry in the Air...can't buy it now though
