The 10 Best Summer Perfumes We'll Be Wearing All Season
As a beauty lover, I wish I could say I loved all of my editorial beats (hair, makeup, skincare, nails, wellness, etc.) equally. Alas, I do not. I could wax poetic about my favorite skincare and makeup products for far longer than anyone would ever want to pay attention, but other topics like hair or fragrance feel trickier.
Re: hair, I have an unapologetically straightforward and boring product routine and styling repertoire, and re: fragrance, I've just never been a huge perfume lover. Scent is such a personal part of one's beauty routine, and historically, I've found recommending perfumes (let alone trying to describe them) extremely difficult and, at times, a tad forced. However, in my opinion, 2019 and 2020 have been uncharacteristically wonderful in terms of obsession-forming perfume launches. As someone who used to turn my nose up at the majority of new fragrances I'd sniff, I've been stunned by the number of fresh scents to strike my fancy recently. With bountiful new launches, the turn of the season is a prolific opportunity to identify a favorite new scent, and this spring and summer have been no different (despite all the other uncertainties happening in the world right now).
As a lighthearted distraction, I'm sharing 10 of the best new perfumes that have launched in anticipation of summer. As I've been spritzing and testing away the past couple of weeks, the sparkly summer selects below have provided a comforting mood boost, and because I know choosing a new perfume can be incredibly difficult (like finding a needle in a haystack), I'm comparing summer's new class of perfumes with some of the best cult favorites from seasons past. Hopefully, this will provide some context as far as notes, fragrance family, the like. Keep scrolling! The 10 best perfumes for summer (and the popular formulas they're similar to) await your perusal just below.Â
