Summer brides all have their own idea of the perfect scent, and finding the right summer fragrances can be just as exciting as choosing your dress or finalising your bouquet. For some, there’s nothing quite like a rich, smoky, and slightly androgynous perfume to make a statement as they walk down the aisle. Others may gravitate towards something fresh and uplifting, like green notes, oceanic breezes, or light citrus.
But if you’re drawn to soft, romantic scents, you’re in excellent company. From airy florals to sweet, sun-drenched blends, we've rounded up six beautiful, feminine summer fragrances that are sure to leave a lasting impression long after the last dance!
1/ Narciso Cristal Eau De Parfum
This new scent from esteemed fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez embodies inner light with luminous bergamot top notes, a delicate floral heart of upcycled rose and white blossoms, and a sensual musk-infused drydown. It creates an elegant yet mysterious trail.
2/ Daisy Eau So Fresh
A limited-edition release created in partnership with Marc Jacobs and renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas, who has devised this scent with top notes of pear and grapefruit and a heart of violet and raspberry, with musky undertones.
