Something Citrus This Way Comes
A tried and true fragrance, famous for its perfect balance of fruits, herbs, woods, and flowers. This diversity in having 15 notes - that actually synergize well with one another - could easily make Bright Sunshine an all-year aroma. Before we go too deep in our appreciation, pick a Summer scent around citruses, as they relate to freshness and fit within the clean and fresh scent profile. You'll see in the note breakdown that grapefruit, lemon, and orange are all present here. This cohesion welcomes without offending, and that's exactly why it's one of our best sellers.

This Is A Waterfall You Can Safely Chase
Would you pick a Summer scent that was more green and leafy or blue and aquatic? The funny part is, you won't have to choose because Waterfall brings them both together in one incredibly luxurious collaboration. You'll get the aquatic opening with the apple, bergamot, and melon. Then comes the heart with a trio of aromatic flowers (cyclamen, rose, jasmine). Finally, you'll be left with a tremendous leafy dry down, consisting of musk and sandalwood. Having fruit that is prominent without being too sweet is key for a Summer scent. Save the sweetness overload for Fall and Winter, you'll thank me later. Citrus is again present with the energizing bergamot note.
Cool Off, Relax, and Refresh
This fragrance is actually used at one of the high-profile, five-star resort's spa in Las Vegas. Pink Grapefruit is a great option for Summer, not because of the tame fruity personality, but because of the prominent florals it brings with it. Among the orange and grapefruit, you get geranium, pineapple flower, rhubarb, cyclamen, elemi, and blonde woods. You might read that and believe that it crosses the sweetness line we referred to above, but the flowers, woods, and resin help bring that down to an invigorating scent for your space during the Summer.

There's No Citrus, But Hear Me Out
What's another way to pick a Summer scent WITHOUT a citrus? Let's take a different approach. Instead of looking at notes that would immediately make any aroma refreshing, let's look at notes that make a scent lighter. In Happiness, you'll smell white flowers and coconut milk that do exactly that. Normally, vanilla is labeled as gourmand and cool weather only. However, when mixed with the flowers, coconut milk, musk, sandalwood, and hazelnut, this absolutely becomes an aroma light enough for warm weather. If your home or business is by the water, believe me and try this one out.
Give Tropical A Chance
Did you know that a pineapple is NOT considered citrus? That's right. Although they have ascorbic acid, pineapples do not have citric acid. Tropical Coco Mango is as exotic as it sounds, giving just a bit of lavender to balance out the sweetness from the pineapple. You'll also smell orange, coconut, and jasmine to balance it out from becoming too much a beach scent. Don't worry, though, Your ultimate beach vacation fragrance will be discussed next.
