Chloe
Nomade Eau de Toilette, $95 at Ulta Beauty
Chloe’s joyful fragrance has a real boho vibe. Sweet litchi and nuanced freesia are enhanced by oak moss for a bright, sunny scent. We also love how the transparent bottle lets a sparkling pinkish light filter through, making it a real showstopper on your vanity.
Coach
Floral Blush Eau de Parfum, $60 at Coach
Coach’s classic tea rose scent shows off its playful side with a little help from goji berries and grapefruit. Peony and peach give the fragrance another dimension, while notes of white wood and musk linger all day long. And the bottle with its eye-catching flower charm is too cute for words.

Sheer Eau de Toilette, $90 at Bloomingdale’s
Attention all you minimalists out there: this is your new go-to scent. Subtly luxurious, blackcurrant, vert de mandarine and ylang ylang are highlighted by rose oil and iris for a layered fragrance. The diamond-esque bottle is also brilliant in its simplicity.
By now we all know we should switch up our skin care strategy once the weather warms up. But you should also hit the refresh button on your go-to scent. Florals and fruity fragrances are the perfect summer companions because they embody everything the season stands for. And since most of us don’t have off to enjoy the high temps and cool breezes, these fresh perfumes are a great way to bring a little summer with you everywhere you go.
While citrus and potent bouquets fit the profile of a standard summer scent, this season we’re favoring unexpected accents, like musk, neroli, coriander and even carrot oil. Hey, we like our aromas complex, just like our personalities. As a bonus, all of these top summer scents come in bottles that are just as enchanting.
