5 Fragrances to Try This Spring & Summer

Been meaning to write this post for a while, and even though spring is almost over you can also wear these fragrances during the summer. 

My top 5 picks for these seasons are:

Gucci Bloom: with notes of Tuberose, Jasmin and Rangoon Creeper, it is a captivating floral scent that recreates the feeling of being in a garden surrounded by diverse blooms. It sprays the finest mist I've seen from any perfume, so spreads evenly on the skin. I also love the powder pink lacquer bottle which helps preserve the fragrance inside while looking elegant and minimalistic. 

Chloé Rose Naturelle Intense: this soft floral fragrance features one of my favourite notes in perfumery: rose. With top notes of Neroli & Bergamot, heart notes of Rose & Oak Wood and base notes of Cedar & Sandalwood, it sounds very wood-based however these notes are quite subtle and give this fragrance warmth without attenuating the Rose scent. The Neroli and Bergamot provide a hint of sweetness. If you like subtle rose perfumes this is for you.

Issey Miyake Rose & Rose: told you it was one of my favourite notes! Comprised of Rose, Pink Pepper, Raspberry & Pear top notes; Bulgarian Rose Essence & Osmanthus heart notes; and base notes of Patchouli & Cashmeran, it is a significantly sweeter fragrance thanks to the fruit accord, while the woody base keeps it from being cloying as it frames the dual Centifolia and Damascena Rose heart. 

Marc Jacobs Perfect: the classically shaped bottle is offset by the playfulness of the cap which is adorned with several charms. Top notes of Rhubarb and Daffodil give it a light fruity and floral accord, the Almond milk heart note provides creaminess, while the Cashmeran base adds depth and a woody note as it dries down. A subtle warm floral fragrance with a hint of sweetness. 

Paco Rabanne Fame: this delectable fragrance opens with Mango & Bergamot, followed by Jasmine & Incense and finishes with Sandalwood & Vanilla. This perfume is sweet with a hint of floral and a warm, creamy base. The Mango note remains discernible throughout and the fragrance is very long lasting. 

Have you tried any of these perfumes?
