When I was a little girl I used to have a slight obsession with my mom’s fresh, summery perfumes–full of floral, fruity and exotic notes. I remember spraying my skin, pretending that I was a little lady and making up stories for each and every scent. Fortunately, now that I’ve grown up I have found my own fave perfumes. No need to steal mom’s anymore!

1.  Light Blue by Dolce&Gabbana, was inspired by the liveliness of Sicilian citron, the joy of Granny Smith apple and the spontaneity of bluebells. With it’s base of Cedarwood, Amber and Musk; fresh top notes of lemon and apple this perfume is here to stay and mesmerize everyone who happens to walk past you.

2.   Estee Lauder, Bronze Goddess. With top notes such as Sicilian bergamot and juicy mandarin, a base of caramel and coconut cream and a heart that blooms with an exotic blend of tiare milk, Tahitian gardenia, coconut oil, jasmine and orange blossom this perfume is sure to be described as exotic, warm and solar.

3. Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs is the perfect smell for all the girly, playful ladies out there. With strong accents of bubblegum strawberry, clean peony, blueberry and a variety of other flowers and fruits this perfume is fresh, fruity and spring-y/ summery. Perfect for teenagers.

4. Sunset heat by Escada is a fun floral/fruity fragrance perfect for summer. Notes of papaya, lemon, mango sherbet and watermelon create an exotic cocktail perfect for beach parties.
