10 Very Sexy Scents For Summer

5/19/2018

Every season I allow myself one new fragrance, be it high end or drugstore. I’ll do a little research (i.e, make a pest of myself at the store) until I find just the right scent--I figure if I'm paying a decent penny for a signature scent for the next three-ish months, it needs to be worth it. And it doesn’t have to be a new release either--as long as I am loving it, I’m down to buy it. For example, this past winter, I was loving Samsara by Guerlain. This spring, it was Pink Sugar. For summer, I’m all about CK One Summer by Calvin Klein.

While I was out and about checking out new scents for summer, I came across SO many sexy, sweet, feminine, sultry scents--I just had to share them with you. Whether you are into fruity, floral, musk or a unisex scent, there’s something new out there just for you!

Here’s my picks for this summer’s hottest new fragrances, in no particular order. And oh yeah, just check out some of these bottles! They are literally like works of art (a few are even designed by artists!).

10 Very Sexy Scents For Summer

1. CK One Summer

This fragrance’s description? "Desert festivals and partying until sunrise." This fragrance of Calvin Klein’s is clearly targeted for a younger audience, but sorry Cal--I’m an old fart and dig this scent. It has top notes of lime, citron and cucumber along with a “hot pepper trio” and saffron. There’s also a bit of musk to this as well. Buy.

2. Pure Grace Endless Summer by Philosophy

Oh Philosophy and your “Amazing” line, how I love thee. While my jam is typically Amazing Grace, Pure Grace Endless Summer is a winner for the season. Delicious notes of iced lychee, exotic pomelo and warm musk. Buy.
.

3. Bonbon Spring Summer by Viktor & Rolf

This yummy scent is a reboot of Viktor & Rolf's sweet caramel candy scent Bonbon, launched in 2014. The sweet caramel scent is lighter, and is enhanced with grapefruit, pink sugar and crystallized jasmine. Buy.

4. DKNY Be Delicious Nolita Girl

The new limited collection from the DKNY Be Delicious line is inspired by different neighborhoods of New York City. Nolita Girl is made for a woman who "embodies everything that is the opposite of decent and neat, a woman with an urban street style". Just like me! LOL jk. The scent is a blend of raspberry, violet, magnolia and sandalwood. Buy.

5 & 6. Daisy Eau So Fresh Kiss and Daisy Dream Kiss

Marc Jacobs teams with Coty to launch two new limited editions of their Daisy perfume lines.

Daisy Eau So Fresh Kiss is a fresh, floral scent with notes of mandarin leaf, black currant and pink pepper, peony, cherry blossom and pink rose. The base ends the composition with notes of blonde woods, sandalwood and ambrox. Buy.

Daisy Dream Kiss is a floral-fruit-musky scent, with black currant, grapefruit and pineapple. Flowers of white freesia, jasmine and rhubarb and cedar, musk and ambrox. Buy.

I don’t know how they make so many scent combos work, but they do and they are damn delicious!

7. Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent

Estee Lauder has been bringing it’s Bronze Goddess fragrance since 2011, and it’s no wonder because they are wildly popular! This 2017 version contains the signature composition of the line, representing warm sand with mandarin, bergamot, lemon and orange. Imagine the scent of really pricey suntan lotion on a beach in St. Tropez, and you got Bronze Goddess. Buy.

8. Go Naked Perfume Oil by Urban Decay (Rollerball)

Urban Decay gets in on the fragrance game with it’s first scent for women, and can best be described as “sun-warmed skin and salt air on a private beach”. This fruity-floral fragrance has top notes of bergamot, petitgrain, mandarin orange, lemon and sea salt; middle notes are neroli and orange blossom; base notes are lavender, musk and jasmine. Throw the convenient rollerball in your bag to use after the beach or pool. Buy.

9. Liquid Cashmere Aqua by Donna Karan

I love the original Cashmere Mist for cooler months, but man am I loving this lighter, water-inspired scent for summer! It smells a bit like the ocean air mixed with a hint of spray-on sunscreen. It’s described as a floral woody musk and has floral notes, woody notes, and sea notes as well. Buy.

10. Escada Fiesta Carioca

This limited edition fragrance for summer is a floral-fruity composition, designed as a “cocktail of passion”--WOW! Passion fruit, red raspberry and violet leaf cross into the floral heart of passion flower, orange blossom and jasmine. The base notes blend musk, cedar and benzoin. I don’t know what benzoin is, but it sure helps to make this fragrance smell ah-ma-zing! Buy.

These look like some nice scents. I used to wear Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden. Can't believe it still exists. He he he.

These all sound awesome! I am a fan of the Philosophy Grace scent but I have never smelled the summer version. Love the idea of a different scent for summer too. I don't like the feel of strong heavy scents during the hot humid months.

The DKNY looks really good and I like how refreshing the pure grace summer surf by philososphy looks. I guess it's time for a new perfume but a small one this time.

Hahaha you are like me. Everytime i visit the perfumery i make a pest of myself. I want to try everthing to get value for my money. I do not normally buy cheap perfumes because i believe the best comes with a little bit on the price tag. I love these perfumes because they look good on the pics. I bet they look smell as good as they look

I will have to check these out - I am curious about the CKone Summer scent. I used original CKone years ago - curious to learn if I still like it.

Great selections you have here! I've used CK before but love Flower by Kenzo. I rarely use fragrances though, but enjoy putting them on occasionally.

You may have just helped me pick out a scent! Given my love of the beach and light scents, Liquid Cashmere might be just what I need.

I'm nearing the end of my current perfume and your post has inspired me to try Just Say Yes. The blend of cardamon, rose, citrus and musk sounds lovely!
