The world of fragrance is experiencing a renaissance with a new wave of eclectic scent combinations. Gone are the days of traditional floral or citrus scents, as brands are now incorporating unique elements like minibar gin, firewood smoke, and whipped cream into their perfumes. These new fragrances are pushing the boundaries of what defines a “summer” scent, with sultry notes like frankincense, bonfire essence, and patchouli taking center stage.
Some notable examples of these innovative scents include “Acne Studios par Frederic Malle,” which features a frankincense base; Arquiste’s “L’Or de Louis,” inspired by the fires at Versailles Grand Orangerie; and “Blooming Fire” from Bella Hadid’s Orebella collection, which combines patchouli and Tahitian Monoi Flower. For those seeking a more traditional refreshing option, options like the unisexy “Costa” by Re-Eau or Versace’s “Bright Crystal” offer invigorating apple and yuzu notes respectively.
For those looking to stay ahead of the trends, Vacation’s “After Sun” fragrance is a must-have. Inspired by summer essentials like open-weave linen, plush resort towels, and minibar gin, this scent captures the essence of a summer vacation in a bottle. Whether you prefer a classic citrusy scent or a sultry, unconventional fragrance, there are plenty of options available that cater to every taste and preference. With so many unique and innovative scents to choose from, it’s never been easier to find your perfect summer fragrance.
