Hot summer days call for cool summer scents, and while it’s not exactly mandatory to switch up your fragrance with the season, these new perfumes will give you 14 reasons to do exactly that. We’re swapping cozy layers for airy lightness and looking to crisper, sparkling, more refreshing smells to replace the deeper, woodsy notes that warmed us all winter.
These uplifting new fragrances play to the warmest season with classic, fresh florals and zesty, citrus notes that instantly lighten your mood. There are cool, breezy, ocean scents that lead your mind straight to the beach, and even a more visual take on perfume that’s completely reimagining how we wear fragrance.
The balanced blends of sweet, fresh, and floral are bright enough to get noticed and subtle enough to spritz in the summer heat, earning the display-worthy bottles prime countertop real estate. These refreshingly energized scents — including Byredo’s Sundazed Eau de Parfum, Chloe Nomade Eau de Parfum, and Chanel’s Paris Riviera Eau de Toilette — bottle up the best smells of the summer, transporting your senses to vacation-like bliss, even if you can’t leave the office.

How to Pick the Right Cologne/Perfume For You
What’s the Difference Between Cologne/Perfume, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Parfum?
I know, it’s seems super complicated and, to be honest, it doesn’t really need to be. Here’s a top-level breakdown so you know the real difference and can now choose the right fragrance option for you.
What are Top Notes, Base Notes, and Medium Notes?
Top Notes: These are typically lighter scents and what you’ll smell first.
Base Notes: These are typically bolder and stronger scents that you’re left with after applying the cologne.
Medium Notes: These are typically your more fruity notes that combine with your top and bottom notes. It pretty much ties everything together.
Overall, the notes are the notes (if that makes sense), but the overall smell is going to differ person to person and how they truly interact with your own body’s chemistry. The notes are a good overall guide so you know what you’re getting out of the cologne, but don’t be afraid if you see a note that you may not love, it doesn’t mean the entire cologne will smell like that. It’s just how they all work together.
