Do you want to keep the summer holiday mood as long as possible? Of course you do! Here's a simple way to do it: associate a place with a specific perfume. Whenever you smell it, you'll find yourself on a beach, a mountaintop, a forest (fill in any destination you like). Tried and tested, it works! And with these perfumes, it works best.

Fragrance by Experience

Choosing a perfume for your next holiday is suddenly a much more important task, isn't it? Just relax - you can't go wrong. But a little inspiration is always good, and you can take a hint from where your travels will take you.

Top Fragrances for Summer at the Beach

Relaxation Under a Palm Tree

Bare feet in the sand, the lapping of the sea and the sweet sound of doing nothing - if you can be found under an umbrella in summer with a book in your hand, the recipe for a top perfume is simple. It can smell like the cocktail you're enjoying. The refreshing and sweet accords of tropical fruits, plus coconut or vanilla, are the notes of true relaxation! 

Overcoming the Limits

Rest? Yes, but active! If you are one of those who tirelessly climb mountains, ride a bike or surf in the summer, choose a perfume that gives you energy. Citrus fragrances will do the trick, blending with aquatic notes for an even greater dose of refreshment.

Perfumes Full of Energy

Romance in a Tent

Being away from people, in touch with nature and enjoying a blazing fire under a starry sky with all the romance that summer has to offer. Is that you? Then make these moments come alive with woody perfumes with a touch of ambergris and spices, such as pepper or cloves. Relaxation and tranquility have never smelled better.

Holidays in the City

When you are exploring the sights and cafés in cities in summer, a good dose of freshness is needed. So try wrapping yourself in green notes or reach for light floral fragrances with a hint of powder.

Fragrances for Summer Explorations

Scent Yourself (with) Ease

Holiday perfumes aren't just about ingredients, but keep an eye on the lettering that shows the concentration of the fragrance.  Leave perfume extracts and Eaux de Parfum for the winter, in summer lighter Eaux de Toilette and Eaux de Cologne or just a discreet body spray are ideal. Simple solution: pack it in your beach bag or backpack for regular refreshment and layer it with body cream or shower gel.

 

Summer and Experiments? Yes!

Or put all the advice for choosing holiday fragrances behind you and go your own way. Have you been wanting to try a unisex perfume for a while but you think the time isn't right yet? It is now! Or succumb to the magic of layering perfumes and mix up an essence of summer that's all your own. Just combine two or more different fragrances.

Will your holiday be full of variety and you think one perfume will not be enough? Take more with you! Discovery Boxes are the perfect way to put together your own fragrant holiday wardrobe.
