Summertime is flower time in my book. Practically every turn you are greeted with ruffled peonies, towering irises and creamy honeysuckle (yes, even in Brooklyn!) whether planted in a garden or at your favorite flower shop. This time of year is about lightening up and wearing fragrances that are not cloying, but rather give an air of freshness and happiness about them, basically what summer is all about. I have rounded up some of my favorite for the season by flower type. What fragrances are you wearing during these warmer months?
Peony
Jo Malone London Peony & Blush Suede - Peony combines with a juicy red apple, rose and jasmine.
Tory Burch - Lush peony melds with creamy tuberose with hints of grapefruit and citrus.
Nest Dahlia & Vines - Pink peony mixes with dewy daffodils and fragrant rose that eludes to a romantic garden.

That Tom Ford fragrance is a new favorite of mine. Smells so clean!

I tend to stick to a fragrance once I find one that I like–I don't really switch it up for summer, but I do have two that I rotate between!

So curious about Aerin...I have wanted to try it! And the Tom Ford one too! I have not bought a perfume in ages!
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen of fragrances! I love all your picks and I'm in serious need of a new floral summery scent! I'm going to need to print this out and take your picks to Sephora, haha.
ReplyDeleteHoneysuckle is one of my favorite scents b/c it reminds me of summers spent at my grandparents house. I'll definitely keep those picks in mind next time I'm shopping for perfume. Thanks for sharing!
