Floral perfumes that remind us of dreamy summer vacays

Go on a spraycation with these warm, vibrant fragrances that carry you away to lush tropical paradises and gardens in full bloom

Full-on Floral Perfumes That Bottle the Scent of Summer

In ordinary times, we would be packing our bags now and heading off on sojourns to bask in foreign sunshine. Sadly, of course, these aren’t ordinary times.

But though travel is largely out of the question still, there are other ways to indulge in holiday reveries, such as through the power of scent. A lot of research has suggested that our sense of smell might be the most evocative of the key senses, and is closely tied to memories and emotions. Simply put, the best way to imagine or recall a fab vacay is to smell it.

Thankfully, there are plenty of perfume offerings to help with that. And in fact, many seem to be doing so with a vengeance, intensifying their floral notes and upping the warmth to create fragrances that deliver a full blast of glorious summer.

Here are some of our top picks.

Floral perfumes that remind us of dreamy summer vacays
Chloe Signature Naturelle Eau de Parfum, $251 (100ml)
image

This fragrance contains 100 per cent natural origin ingredients, including organic rose from Bulgaria. It’s uplifting and so easy-to-wear, thanks to its blend of neroli, rose, cedarwood and citron.

Buy it here

Sephora
Issey Miyake Parfums A Drop d’Issey, $179 (90ml)
image

Created with responsibly sourced natural ingredients such as orange blossom absolute and damask rose, as well as synthetic ingredients like solar lilac (which eliminates the need to harvest the flower).

Buy it here

Sephora
Tom Ford Soleil Brulant, $505 (50ml)
image

This floral-oriental is all about sun-warmed skin and voluptuous blooms. Opening fresh with mandarin and bergamot mixed with pink peppercorn, the floral heart of jasmine sambac, tuberose and orange flower soon comes to the fore, warmed by amber, woods and black honey. Incense, vetiver and leather lend a sexy finish.

Buy it here

Guerlain Allegoria Flora Salvaggia, $128 (75ml)
image

Evoking a wildflower field on a cloudless summer’s day, this combines heady jasmine sambac with the soft fragrance of orange blossoms. Melon gives it fruitiness, while white musk, violet and iris create a subtle powdery base that’s both comforting and addictive.

Jo Malone Rose Blush Cologne, $115
image

Inspired by nostalgic scenes of homemade jams on gingham tabletops, this is the olfactory equivalent of gourmet rose jelly. The herby freshness of basil lightens the sweetness, and lychee adds a juicy effect. White musk rounds off this soft, pretty fragrance.

Available at Jo Malone boutiques and selected Sephora outlets

Dolce Rose Eau De Toilette, $161 (75ml)
image

A lively, all-out celebration of the rose. It starts off crisp and tangy with green apple, mandarin and redcurrants, before developing into a mouth-watering mix of white peach, magnolia and two rose notes that capture the flower’s fresh and heady qualities. Soft musks, sandalwood and white woods ground it in soft sensuality.

Bulgari Omnia by Mary Katrantzou EDP, $189 (65ml)
image

Like its maximalist, multi-hued bottle, the juice contained within is a fragrance kaleidoscope. Notes of sparkling mandarin, fig leaf and gardenia intertwine, with blond wood and musk accords creating richer, smoother scent.

Buy it here

Gucci The Alchemist’s Garden – A Chant for the Nymph EDP, USD$384 (S$523.90)(100ml)
image

Built around the creamy scent of frangipani, this is inspired by flower-filled tropical forests. Ylang ylang, tiare flower and vanilla add to the whole midsummer-night-on-an-island effect of the fragrance.

Buy it here

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc EDP, $207 (100ml)
image

A warm, powdery rose fragrance for the confident woman. Featuring a full bouquet of pink flowers wrapped around a heart of musk, it is enhanced by pink peppercorn and grounded by patchouli and amber. The result is a clean but very sexy, very feminine scent.

Buy it here

Amouage Love Tuberose EDP, USD$270 (S$368.36)
image

Floral and gourmand at once, this milky-sweet confection blends tuberose, gardenia, jasmine with whipped cream and vanilla. Sandalwood and cedar keeps the sugar in check so the scent stays light and creamy, not cloying.
