Light, fresh and heat-proof

The best summer fragrances

Summer is the home of the freshies — zesty citrus, salty-marine accords and crisp aromatics that stay sheer when the temperature climbs and heavier scents turn cloying. The goal is a clean, hydrating lift that reads "just-showered" all day in the heat.

Wears best — Hot days, the beach, the office in July and anyone who hates feeling weighed down by their scent.
