1. Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild
This fragrance is amazing for the summertime. If you’re looking for a fragrance that’s fresh and sweet and that’s going to get compliments, this is it. This is not something that’s going to last 12 hours plus, but it is something that can be put on for running errands, going shopping, or going to a quick lunch or brunch. It has a beautiful banana note in it that is intoxicating. Marc Jacobs did a good job with this one.
Daisy Wild has a more modern touch and a little bit more longevity than the regular daisies. Imagine pulling this out, getting ready, and this cute little bottle is what is being worn. Because this is 1 oz, it can easily be thrown in a bag, and it can be shared if someone asks what is being worn.
This is one that is highly recommended for the summertime, especially for those who don’t like fragrances that are so overpowering. If someone is a minimalistic type of person, and if they are in a closed space or even a nurse, then this one is perfect for the summertime. It’s fresh, it’s clean, it’s not overpowering, but it still smells delicious at the same time. If you haven’t tried it, go ahead and give it a sniff.
2. Chloe Nomad
This next one has a beautiful mirabelle note in it. It has Jasmine and Peach in the mid. It’s one of those fragrances that once it is put on, it will pack a punch, but it’s perfect for the summertime, and it is Chloe Nomad.
This is a beautiful, fruity floral fragrance. At the top, there is bergamot, lemon, orange, and mirabelle. In the mid, there is Jasmine and peach. In the base, there is patchouli, oak moss, musk, and sandalwood. It is a beautiful fragrance.
This lasts a good 7 to 8 hours on the skin. For it to be a fragrance that is on the lighter end or at least fruity and floral, it lasts longer than most fragrances in this category. It is really unique. Other fragrances that have been released are towards fragrances that have already been here, but just tweaked a little bit. Chloe really made this fragrance intentionally.
If you’re looking for something that’s unique but still in the designer realm, a fragrance that’s going to last all day, that can be worn in the summertime for date night, and you are expecting compliments or you want to smell different from the crowd, this is it. It’s so easy to wear and it’s so delicious and also very dare I say sexy.
3. Prada Paradoxe
This next one is a beautiful white floral citrusy style of fragrance. It has a little sweetness in it, and it’s really nice, but it’s not the favorite from the entire line. It works perfect during the summer time, and it’s from Prada, and it is Prada Paradoxe.
Both of these fragrances last long, so there’s no need to worry about that. If you are looking for one that’s perfect for the summertime that can be worn up and down and not really have to think twice about, this is it. It has a beautiful pear and tangerine bergamot in the top. In the midd, there is orange blossom, neroli, and Jasmine sambac. In the base, there is vanilla, amber, musk, and benzoin.
It’s a beautiful white fruity floral, almost citrusy. It’s beautiful and it works perfect during the summertime. If you’re looking for a beautiful floral that is not so much sweet but more almost sensual, but not really, it’s like a entry level sensual, then this is it.
If everyone in your circle or at work wears La Vie Est Belle, yes, you will stand out. But if everyone wears designer fragrances like Libre, La Vie Est Belle, Prada, etc., there is more diversity when it comes to the fragrances because they all kind of do smell alike but they’re different at the same time. If you’re just looking for something that’s going to work and that’s going to last all day, that’s going to carry you out through your 8 hour 10 hour 12 hour shift, Paradoxe will get you there.
4. Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche
Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche EDP is a simple yet iconic fragrance that started as an EDT. The EDP features refreshing top notes of citrus and aldehydes, with jasmine in the heart and base notes of teak wood and amber. It’s a clean and inviting scent, perfect for hot summer days, offering long-lasting comfort that helps you stay cool.
Recommended for both women and men, especially in summer, it performs well and is easy to wear without needing many sprays. This fragrance truly stands out and deserves a spot on the list.
Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche has been out for the longest, but that was a EDT. Now they have a eau de parfum. This one has top notes of catrone and aldehydes. In the mid, there is Jasmine. In the base, there is teak wood and Amber.
Simply put, this is a beast of a fragrance. It is perfect for this time of year. It’s fresh, it’s clean, it’s inviting. It’s one of those fragrances that they did not need to make a perfume or an intensified version of it, but they did. This is even better than the original. On really scorching hot days, this is the one that should be worn.
This fragrance is fresh and long-lasting, leaving you feeling revitalized. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it for summertime; you can’t go wrong with this one. It smells amazing on both women and men!

5. Mugler Angel Nova
This next one is from the house of Mugler. It is one of those fragrances that if you’re not wearing it this summer time, what are you doing? When it first came out, Mugler brought out fragrances that last long and that are actually good.
This one is Angel Nova. This one has top notes of raspberry and lychee. In the mid, there is the mask rose. In the base, there is akigalawood and benzoin. If Delina had a long lost cousin, this would be it. It still smells like the original Mugler DNA. This one came out so good. It is such a bomb fragrance, it lasts all day long and it will get so many compliments.
If you are looking for a entrylevel lychee Rasberry and Rose fragrance, this is the one for you. It will get compliments, it will not disappoint, and it is perfect for the summertime.

6. Burberry Her
Burberry Her has notes of strawberry, raspberry, Blackberry, sour cherry, black currant, mandarin orange, and lemon at the top. It is pretty, so cute, beautiful, and long lasting. It has Violet and Jasmine in the mid. In the base, there is musk, vanilla, cashmere wood, Woody notes, Amber, Oak moss, and patchouli. That base is a base for longevity. The vanilla is just a touch of sweetness.
This is Iconic. It was made by Francis Kirk Dean, definitely inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540, but they’re different. In the beginning, it may have seemed that they were the same but now they are totally different. In the air they can resemble each other. If someone that doesn’t know or that smell the fragrance, they’ll probably think that it is Baccarat Rouge 540, but this is not it. It’s sweet and sugary just like it, but it’s definitely not that fragrant. If you’re looking for one for the summer time, look no further. This one is it, especially if you like a fruity floral, especially leaning towards gourmand.
7. Yves Saint Laurent Libre
This next one works for the summertime. This one is from Yves Saint Laurent, and it is Libre, the original. If you are familiar with this fragrance, it starts off with lavender, Mandarin, black currant, and Petty grain. In the mid, there is more lavender, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine. In the base, there is Madagascar vanilla, musk, Cedar, and Ambergris.
This fragrance is one for the books for sure. It is a long lasting fragrance. Men love this fragrance on women. It works amazing on men too. It is such a unique fragrance, especially when it came out. When it came out, it was definitely different from anything that was on the market, only because Lavender is usually used in Men fragrances. This is a fragrance that’s iconic and amazing.
8. Dolce & Gabbana L’Imperatrice
This next one is a different one. If you like citrusy sweet fruity floral tarty fragrances, then this one is it. This fragrance is an older classic, ideal for summertime, with a unique note of watermelon. It’s from Dolce & Gabbana, and it is L’Imperatrice number three.
This line came out a few years ago. It has top notes of watermelon and strawberry. In the mid, there is peon, pink peion, damasc Rose, Magnolia, and Clon. In the base, there is musk, Woody notes, sandalwood, and smoke.
It is nice. There is a juicy watermelon strawberry note. It gets tart, and then there are the florals. There is a little bit of the musk and a little bit of the Woody nose, but no smoke at all. It’s pretty and perfect for this hot weather. It’s one of those fragrances that can go tart on your skin real quick, so before even purchasing this, spray it on your skin first and then walk away. It literally smells like you just took a big bite out of a juicy sweet watermelon.
