Summer Scents


These are the scents I've been reaching for this summer:

Citron Citron by Miller Harris EdP* - I recently won this after being picked at random to win a bottle after a #30plusblogs Twitter chat. This is the perfect summertime scent. See my review HERE.

Diptyque's Philosykos EdT - this scent is always in my stash. The best fig I've ever tried. Takes me back to long hot summers in Greece. Love it.

4160Tuesdays London 1969 EdP - I first tried this from the amazing Advent Calendar and fell in love. A gorgeous citrus with a twist. It has top notes of Lemon, Lemongrass, Grapefruit, Mandarin and Cedar with a heart of Moroccan Cedar, Sandalwood, Incense, Violet and Lavender with base notes of Patchouli, Labdnum and Musk. See my thoughts on the Advent calendar HERE. This is a perfume I'll keep buying as long as Sarah keeps making it!

Light Blue by Dolce & Gabanna EdT - I used to wear this all the time so is my blast from the past perfume! I love its refreshing feel and fruity floral scent. With notes of Citron, Apple, Jasmine, Freesia, Musk and Amber. It's the perfect summer holiday scent.

I've been loving trying out the Vegan perfumes by Eden Perfumes, a family run company based in Brighton. Their perfumes have similar notes to high street perfumes including discontinued ones. My current favourite is No.475 with similar notes to Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino. It really is a very good match.

What makes your summer perfume line-up?

Summer Scents

Whew...the weather up here has been super clammy and airless these last few days so I've been enjoying light spritzes of scent. Here are my current favourite Summer Scents.


Diptyque Eau Rose Roll-on (20ml) - a light and refreshing rose scent. See my review HERE.  Staying with Diptyque my all time favourite Philosykos Perfume Oil Roll-on (7.5ml) this to me is what a true fig perfume smells like. It transports me back to sun-kissed Greece every time I wear it with its figgy, green and woody notes (I slightly prefer the EDT spray so I'll pick up the Travel refills when I finish this).

Kai Perfume Oil (3.6ml) this is my third or fourth bottle. Expensive but oh so worth it. A beautiful white floral with Gardenia, Jasmine, Rose, Tuberose, Lily and green notes. Love! It featured in my January's Lately I've Been Loving and I've got a back up too which I think shows how much I love it!

Jo Malone Grapefruit Cologne (30ml) this refreshing and uplifting scent is perfect for summer. I've been spritzing it like crazy this week! With notes of Grapefruit, Rosemary, Peppermint and Pimento. It also featured in my Spring Scents.  Shay & Blue Almond Cucumber (10ml) is a light and super refreshing scent perfect to revive and uplift.

A new scent for me is L'Occitane Figuier & Osmanthus EDT (30ml) which is a light fig scent with top notes of Bergamot, Blackcurrant and fruity Fig notes, a heart of Fig leaves and Osmanthus flowers and a base of Cedar and Musk. It is really summery and fruity as well as refreshing. It was created to celebrate L'Occitane's RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden and is a Limited Edition (hope not!)

My final scent is by Infusion Organique - Sands of Morocco Organic EDP roll-on (11ml) which has a incense note which I love. It smells exotic and mysterious and again reminds me of holidays. See my review HERE.
