With summer kicking into full gear, now is the time for a wardrobe refresh. Your fragrance wardrobe, that is. To usher in the warmer weather, we have been swapping out our cozy vanilla perfumes and moody oud scents for something a little more vibrant and airy.

There are plenty of new summer fragrances claiming to have captured sunshine in a bottle; think refreshing bursts of citrus, breezy white florals, coconutty sunscreen and hints of ocean air. A single spritz of the right perfume can recover happy memories of summers past: Olfactory recognition is a very powerful part of our brains and research has shown that sense of smell is closely linked to memory. Even if you're staying close to home this summer, the right scent can make you feel like you’re jetting off to the Mediterranean (gelato dripping down your hands is optional).

Ahead, we’ve sniffed our way through the latest trending perfumes and beloved classics to bring you a selection of summer scents that are as carefree and joyful as a ray of sunshine.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
