15 Summer Fragrances That Will Mentally Teleport You to the Beach

Whether you change your fragrance by the season or have one signature scent all year round, you must admit: There’s nothing more fun than a summer scent. What defines a summer scent? They usually include fresh, sweet, green, or beachy notes. Still, there are no rules to fragrance, and the ideal summer scent can also be whatever you choose to apply during the warmer months.

While I change my fragrance almost every day and rarely let the time of year dictate my decision, summer is the period where I give in to seasonality. We wait for these warmer months all year, and there’s nothing I love more than a sweet, milky fragrance with a hint of salt or earth to complete the summer fantasy. Ahead, I rounded up some of my favorite summer fragrance picks that are so good, you’ll want to wear them all year.

One of everyone’s favorite fragrances gets a summery twist. The concept around this is fire and ice, and it’s cold from a base of metallic notes and fiery from the pepper and wood. The note that takes center stage is citron, similar to yuzu (which we see a lot in fragrances lately). The citron makes the hot and cold aspects of this scent come to life on your skin, making it bright but not taking away from the duality of the notes. It’s not my usual choice, but this one is truly timeless and ageless.
