Let’s face it, not all of us have the time (or funds!) to take a lavish summer vacation. However, you can at least smell like you’re on the tropical trip of your dreams.
Here are three of the best summer fragrances that bottle up scents of the sunny season, so you feel like you’ve landed in a blue sky paradise.
Oribe Côte d’Azur , $34-$125
Côte d’Azur is your ticket to the French Riviera. Warm sandalwood, citrusy Calabrian bergamot, and white jasmine come together in an invigorating, gender-neutral fragrance that embodies summer heat. The bottle design calls to mind postmodern art and architecture while the unique sandy tortoiseshell resin cap is reminiscent of Côte d’Azur’s beaches.
Sol de Janeiro Sol Cheirosa '62 The Scent of Summer Eau de Parfum , $78
It’s called “The Scent of Summer” for good reason. Inspired by the golden sun in Rio, a couple spritzes of this intoxicating fragrance will transport your senses to the balmy beaches of Brazil. Infused with Sol De Janeiro’s signature scents of pistachio and salted caramel along with tantalizing notes of vanilla and sandalwood, this scent captures the feeling of paradise so you always feel like you’re on vacation.
Sisley-Paris L’Eau Rêvée d’Isa , $120-$200
Spray on this exotic blend of sensuous scents and be whisked away to a sunny place. Infused with a refreshing blend of pink berries, floral jasmine, and intense spices, L’Eau Rêvée d’Isa delivers a summery fragrance that diffuses throughout the day.
