The 6 best fragrances to wear this summer

Juicy, sweet, musky and with touches of sea salt, this peach, jasmine and vanilla fragrance is grounded by the familiar scent of sandalwood. The refreshing and tarte burst of blackcurrant and citrus at the heart add a distinct brightness to the bouquet.

Fuel the main character narrative with this intensified version of Dolce & Gabbana’s ‘The One’. Luminescent fruits and florals tango together in this unique fragrance, combining juicy, moreish gold plum with the essence of rose. While smoky aromatics such as patchouli and musk settle the scent into skin.

A distinctly Australian summer lies in every bottle of the Sunset Hour, with Broome-native quandong adding a peachy sweetness to each spritz. Pear, mandarin, mango and rhubarb round out this veritable fruit salad of sorts, with ginger and coconut lending aromatic spice and a tropical air to the mix.

An ode to summers spent in the urban thrawl of London, this fragrance is an olfactory poem to  Dean Street. The result? Effervescent, light-filled notes of citrus fruits, apricot and white florals enveloped in a rich, warm dry-down of amber, musk and honeyed linden petals.

A bottled conception of Callabrian bergamot and the spirit of wildflowers, this fragrance is marked by a signature musk base. Fresh and floral coupled with the mystery of nature’s expanse, this is a summer scent with depth.

We think a beach bag-friendly fragrance is a must in summer. Boasting a fruity plum scent mingled with creamy, warm vanilla woods, intoxicating jasmine blooms and musk, it’ll be hard to stop yourself from dousing your salt-soaked limbs in the entire bottle.
