Avanti DalalPublished on Jul 13, 20228 new summer fragrances for a much-needed refreshWhile these bottles call for major counter space real estate, they smell just as good tooWhile these bottles call for major counter space real estate, they smell just as good tooIt might be raining or it might be super hot where you currently are, but if you’re anything like us, when July rolls around, the only thing on our minds is a vacation. This year, even if you aren’t traveling too far, a spritz of the right perfume will capture the feeling of warmer, more relaxing locales.Byredo De Los SantosShop here₹ 11,300A super earthy scent, this one blends clary sage with incense, musk and ambroxan, making it the deepest and most dramatic scents from this list—a far cry from the coconut, rose and lemon notes of traditional summer perfumes. But this one has green notes with a soft sweetness from amber, iris root and mirabelle, giving you a clean, vibrant finish that feels cleansing, spring-like and super refreshing.CHANEL N°1 De CHANEL L'eau Rouge Revitalising Fragrance MistShop here₹ 8,700While this isn’t a full-throttle perfume, the delicate body mist does punch above its weight. With red camellia as the hero ingredient, it opens with notes of citrus and red berries, which then open up into a bouquet of jasmine, rose, iris and musk—a mix that feels bright and comforting. Spritz it on to your decolletage and the rest of your body as the last step of your skincare routine. If you don’t like anything too overbearing or cloying, particularly when it’s already hot and sticky outside, this one is your best bet.Dior Eden-Roc FragranceShop here₹ 19,500This scent bottles up everything we love about a summer holiday—it was created as an homage to the iconic Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, after all. It has salty notes that remind you of languid pool days, with the tiniest bit of coconut to put you straight onto the beach. It is super summery, so you can spritz it on even if you’re just working from home and dreaming of a vacation by the sea.Good Earth Zagros EDTShop here₹ 9,50If you always pick the hills when you’re given a choice between the mountains and the beach, this is the summer scent for you. It draws the smells of a meadow, thanks to the bright, fresh and woody, leafy scents that are at the top of the perfume, which then open up into accords of orange, cypress and patchouli.Jo Malone London Sea Daffodil CologneShop here₹ 9,900If you’re into a solar floral, this luminous and radiant pick has the warmth of vanilla entwined with creamy sandalwood along with the fresh, aqueous notes of sea daffodil. Spray it on when you need a mood-boost the most.Maison Margiela 'REPLICA' When the Rain StopsShop here₹ 11,450If you’re spending your summer break in India, you’re likely being hit by dramatic monsoon rain instead of sweltering temperatures and harsh sunlight. This perfume will remind you of how it feels when the rain starts to recede—you can smell notes of bergamot, pink pepper and a strong aquatic accord that mimics the scent of rain. Rose petal essence and jasmine round it out too.Naso Profumi Palo Santo E LimoncelloShop here₹ 5,500Want to be reminded of your summer sojourn all year round? This brings the warmth of the Italian coast to Indian shores. The perfumer has infused herbal, woody notes of Peru’s palo santo tree with scents you already love from Italy: lemon, mint, limoncello, rose and cedarwood.Tom Ford Rose De RussieShop here₹ 22,650There’s something about long summer nights when you’re on holiday with your partner or a group of friends—you just don’t want them to end. This perfume will stay with you until the wee hours of the morning, thanks to its warm rose and leather notes that work together to give it a sweet yet heavy finish.Also Read: The niche perfume brands that everyone you know isn’t already wearing Also Read: The modern Indian perfumes are nothing like the attars of yesteryearAlso Read: Should men be wearing make-up?Read Next Read the Next Article
