Summery perfumes?

20 replies

mrsboogie · 09/04/2010 16:01

Hello all

In the last 2 weeks I read a tiny piece in either the Guardian or Observer about a new (I think Estee Lauder) perfume that smells of lovely summer smells and sun tan lotion.

This is my holy grail of perfumes! I so want a lovely summery perfume - only I have now gone and lost the magazine it was in and I can't remember what it is called!

/kicks self

Can anyone suggest what it might be?

Is it old or new, do you recall?

Pleasures Summer Bouquet?

White Linen?

5DollarShake · 09/04/2010 16:22

Sorry - you do say 'new'!

Ignore White Linen, then.

OOOh that sounds divine, I'm on my second bottle of Liz Earle but may have to get some of that too

There are loads of perfumes that aren't sold in Britain anymore but are not discontinued - you just have to go abroad for them

The Bronze Goddess is absolutely gorgeous, I have been wearing it all winter too, I managed to buy some on Ebay once there was no more in the shops.

MayorNaze · 09/04/2010 18:11

very pleased to help

OllieWollieWoo · 09/04/2010 18:53

I love fresh/natural perfumes - but got a bottle of the Jo Malone Grapefruit one and don't like it that much! . Whats the Liz Earle one like??? Only really test perfumes at airports (ie not v often) and after 3 sniffs I loose all sense of smell and they all smell the same! Any recommendations?

mangoandlime · 09/04/2010 19:09

The LE one has given me more compliments than any other perfume. Very fresh, citrussy if you like that sort of smell.

mangoandlime · 09/04/2010 19:11

I still love Aqua di Gio, it reminds me of holidays. As does Clarins Eau Dynamisante but it lasts a nano second.

drinkmoretea · 09/04/2010 19:17

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea is my summer favourite :-)

Zoidberg · 09/04/2010 19:25

Summer holiday coconut smelling gorgeousness is Creed's Virgin Island Water, never have I had people tell me I smelled so good til wearing this in the summer, thoroughly recommend giving it a sniff.
