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?

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.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea is my summer favourite :-)

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

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

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?

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.

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

Sorry - you do say 'new'!

Ignore White Linen, then.

Is it old or new, do you recall?

Pleasures Summer Bouquet?

White Linen?
