Summer Scents

I am one of those people who likes to have different perfumes for different seasons.  In the warmer weather I like a light, fresh, fruity and floral smells, but I like something woodier and earthier when it's a bit chillier.  This summer (if you could even call it that in the UK!) I had a few go-to smells which I reached for every single day.

The Hollister body sprays remind me of my school days - I used to love spritzing them all over me (probably too much) before school, but I haven't owned one in years.  A few weeks ago I was making a Hollister order and was only a few pounds away from free delivery, so I popped the cutest-looking bottle in my bag and hoped for the best.

It smells really fresh, fruity and summery.  Admittedly the scent doesn't hang around for particularly long, but what can you expect from a body spray? It's perfect for a quick spritz throughout the day.

I was lucky enough to receive Daisy Dream as a gift for my birthday (full review here) and I have hardly put it down.  It is the perfect light fruity/floral scent for spring and summer, I'll be sad when autumn properly begins and I put it in the cupboard to save for when the sun is shining.

How adorable are these!? And my favourite of the bunch - I bought these miniature Marc Jacobs from duty free whilst on holiday to Marbella; I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them.  Marc Jacobs is the king of spring/summer fragrances, and these little bottles dont disappoint.

There are four miniature bottles in this set - the original daisy fragrance, the Eau so Fresh scent and two Sorbet options.

The original Daisy eau de toilette (full size here) is feminine and floral in the cutest bottle with a white lid.  According to the Boots website it has top notes of strawberry and violet leaves, heart notes of violet petals and jasmine bouquet and base notes of musk and vanilla. In a nutshell: I love it.

Daisy eau so fresh (full size here) still has a floral scent, but its more light and fruity while staying sophisticated.  It has topnotes of red grapefruit, raspberry, green leaves and pair; heart notes of violet, wild rose, apple blossom, lychee and jasmine petals; and base notes of musks, plum and cedarwood.

The Sorbet option (full size here) is sweet and fresh with top notes of pink grapefruit, pear and passion fruit, heart notes of wisteria, jasmine and muguet and base notes of violet wood, cedarwood and sheer musks.



Although the different scents aren't vastly varied, there are clear differences between the perfumes.  I love all three, and they've been perfect for every occasion throughout the summer.

Although I have a perfect little collection of summery perfumes, I don't have nearly as many options for the colder, darker weather; what are your favourite autumn/winter perfumes?
