Summer is officially here and I am so excited to share some of my favourite summer fragrances from my perfume collection.
Saffron and Orange Flowers by Zara
I picked this up when I was in Florence last summer, randomly smelling all the perfumes by the till. Imagine you’re in a flower shop on the hottest day of summer and they’re serving ice cold glasses of sweet lemonade. This is what these smells like! It is the perfect combination of sweet and citrus. This is a white floral with citrus and the saffron adds a warm, earthy spiciness to it that is just stunning. This fragrance also apparently has bergamot, orange blossom, ylang ylang, jasmine, musk and woody notes, which honestly makes a lot of sense to me because that all sounds like things that I absolutely love.

Magnificently Dubai by Zara
This was technically a blind buy for me. I was on the Zara website and once I saw how this was described, I just knew I was going to like it. This fragrance is on the spicy side, and is suitable for nighttime – a little more grown and sexy if you ask me! If you’ve ever been out at night in Lagos, Nigeria (or Dubai!), this encapsulates that vibe and feeling. The top note is saffron, the middle note is nutmeg and base note is leather.

Miss Dior by Dior
This fragrance was a gift from my mom and I’m so grateful to have it because I love it! To me, this fragrance smells like flowers dripped in candy, so if you like sweet smelling fragrances, I think you’ll really like this. The top note is Italian mandarin. Middle notes are rose and jasmine. Base notes are patchouli and musk.

Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
Allow me to set the scene for you. It is the hottest day of summer and even though everyone else is mere moments away from fainting from heat stroke, you’re somehow still cool as a cucumber. You are very much unbothered, elegant, and just cool – this is what Coco Mademoiselle does to me! Top notes are orange, mandarin orange and bergamot and orange blossom. Middle notes are Turkish rose, jasmine, mimosa and ylang ylang. And the base notes are patchouli, white musk, vanilla, vetiver, tonka bean and a opoppanax. This would be my go to fragrance to gift anyone from this list, I just can’t imagine any one NOT liking this!

Attrape-Reves by Louis Vuitton
This is another fragrance that I also picked up when I was in Florence after having it in on my wishlist for ages! It’s such a unique fragrance it’s a bit difficult to describe but it is my go to for anytime I’m looking for something unique, with amazing lasting power that everyone will love! Some of the key notes in this are lychee, ginger and bergamot, peony, Turkish rose and cocoa.

Tom Ford, Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford
The name of this fragrance translates to ‘white sun’, and this is literally a tropical summer holiday in a bottle. Top notes are pistachio, bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper, tuberose, ylang ylang and jasmine. Base notes are coconut, amber, tonka bean, and benzoin. I think it is such a beautiful, sweet, unexpected fragrance.

Soleil Blanc also comes in the most beautiful body shimmer oil as well and it smells exactly like the fragrance at a fraction of the perfume’s price. I highly recommend.

Bal D’Afrique by Byredo
Bad D’Afrique is one of Byredo’s most signature fragrances and I absolutely get it. It was modelled after the owner’s father’s trips to Africa, so of course, I was going to fall for that! There’s something about this that makes me so happy but its staying power SUCKS. I’ve been considering layering this with their body lotion to help it last a but longer because I love it that much. It is absolutely signature fragrance worthy and when I’m heading out to a Pilates class or running errands and I want to smell nice for myself and not necessarily for other people, this is what I wear. Top notes are Amalfi lemon, blackcurrant, bergamot and African orange flower. Middle notes are violet, cyclamen and jasmine. Base notes; vetiver, musk, amber and Virginia cedar.
