Summer Scenting Tips: The Best Fragrances for the Season

Take a moment to recall your favorite summer memories. Maybe a beach vacation, or picnics in the park, or driving with the windows down to feel the slippery breeze on your skin. So many of our sense memories are connected deeply to fragrance, and part of why these moments are so memorable is the scents that accompanied them.

The art of formulating fragrances is highly technical and can achieve incredible notes that deliver exactly the smell of ocean air, warm florals and grasses, and the ozonic and earthy tones one might encounter on a drive.

As you select fragrances for scenting your environments this summer, we suggest setting aside the cozy notes of winter and the bright floral notes of spring. Instead, explore fragrances that inspire the moods you wish to inhabit. Create the settings of a bright, fresh, radiant summer fill of connection and newness.

We offer these summer scenting tips based on certain notes that convey the very essence of the season of luscious sweltering days.
