I love perfume, and there's no doubt about that. I currently own way too many, yet still continue to buy them. Majority of them smell gorgeous, and their bottles are normally stunning too. Whenever I end up in Boots, Debenhams or Superdrug, I always end up smelling perfumes. I decided to pick out just five perfumes to share with you as my Summer scents for Summer 2015 (and trust me, it was hard to narrow it down to just five).
Starting with my newest perfume, Vera Wang Princess. Firstly, can we talk about the cute heart shaped bottle?! The scent itself is very fruity. It's extremely feminine and young. It's meant to make you feel like a princess! It may be fruity, but, it is sweet too. To sum it up in three words : sweet, girly and fresh.
The Top Notes: Water Lily, Apple, Fresh and Sweet Mandarin and Apricot.
The Heart Notes: Exotic Guava, Tiare Flower, Tuberose and a hint of Dark Chocolate.
The Base Notes: Vanilla, Amber and Wood.
Next up, CK One Summer 2014. This was Calvin Klein's perfume for Summer 2014. I grabbed it quickly in August as it was reduced and I really wanted it! The scent is unisex, yet I adore it. It smells like Summer in a bottle; refreshing and cool. It comes with an optional top - you can either us it as a spray, or, pour it on. Personally, I prefer a spray.
The Top Notes: Grapefruit, Lime and Melon.
The Heart Notes: White Freesia and Cyprus.
The Base Notes: Coconut Water, Cedar and Crushed Sugar.
When I first got this perfume, I didn't associate it with Summer. Fast forward until a few months, it reminded me of Summer! It's Beyonce Pulse. It's a gorgeous perfume! I reach for it quite often simple because it smells fantastic. It's floral yet fruity and strong but not overpowering at the same time. It's a hard perfume to describe because there's so much going on, but I highly recommend you go and smell it! As you can see, the top lid of the bottle is long and protects the actual bottle itself!
The Top Notes: Pear, Bergamot and Blue Curacao.
The Heart Notes: Bluebird Orchid, Peony and Jasmine.
The Base Notes: Vanilla, Musks and Woody Accords.
Another newbie perfume, Lady Gaga Fame. Do not fret, the perfume is not black when sprayed! When looking at it, you'd expect it to be deep, dark and mysterious. It's actually the complete opposite. Again, it's fruity (I love fruity perfumes), and it's not too strong. When I wear this, I receive a lot of complements and people always ask what perfume I'm wearing! The bottle is incredible and unique - clear so you can see the perfume but has the golden claw top.
The Top Notes: Belladonna Flower and Incense.
The Heart Notes: Honey Drops Saffron and Apricot.
The Base Notes: Jasmine and Tiger Orchid.
Finally, one much loved in my family, CK in2U Her. This is probably the strongest, most fruitiest perfume of the lot. It's strong yet still wearable and nice. Apparently, this is the "youthful scent aimed at the younger generations", so you can feel young wearing this! As if the scent isn't good enough, the bottle is very sleek and modern.
The Top Notes: Pink Grapefruit, Bergamot and Red Currant Leaves.
The Heart Notes: Sugar Orchid and White Cactus.
The Base Notes: Amber, Red Cedar and Vanilla.
I love fruity perfumes, therefore I own many! Those are my favourite perfumes for the Summertime this year.
What are your favourite perfumes for Summer? Got any you recommend I try?
Vera Wang Princess is one of my favourite fragrances it's so fresh and lovely!

DeleteI really like Pulse, but I haven't worn it in awhile. These were nice picks. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sometimes like that, then go back to it and fall in love with it! x
DeleteI adore Vera Wang Princess and like you love floral scents. On a less expensive note have you ever tried hollister sprays they are both fruity and floral at the same time. http://analuisadejesus199.wix.com/fadedspring
ReplyDeleteFloral scents are great! Yes I actually own two of their body sprays, I wrote about them a wee while back! x

Have you smelt the new Summer limited edition ones? They smell gorgeous! (I believe they're limited edition!) x
DeleteOh I do love Vera Wang Princess range, one of my favs!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous scents along with a beautiful bottle x
DeleteCK One Summer sounds like my kind of perfume. I like perfumes that make you think of freshness.
ReplyDeleteYou should try get your hands on it. As it was a 2014 season scent, many places don't stock it, but look online as many websites still have it! x
DeleteGreat pick's! My mother gave me the Vera Wang Princess and I must say...I LOVED IT! The bottle was COVERED in pink rhinestones and it smelled so pretty! I am not big on perfume however I really do enjoy the Princess sent! CK has some great scents as well! Thanks for sharing!

I know the one you mean! I cannot remind the name of it right now but I did have a wee smell of it the other weekend there whilst out shopping! Gorgeous, right?! x
DeleteI love something light and airy for summer! Thanks for sharing your picks! I'll have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteYou might need to invest in them all haaha! x
DeleteI've never tried these but I'm sure they smell great. Anything from beyonce has to be great lol. My favorite fragrance is viva la juicy by juicy couture.
ReplyDeleteAll beyonce's perfumes smell gorgeous! I don't own the Juicy Couture perfume but I do know it smells beautiful, and the bottle is stunning! x
DeleteThough I don't wear perfume, I love it when I come across a girl who wears Beyonce's fragrance! Smells great! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteBeyonce's perfumes smell gorgeous x
DeleteI love perfumes, but I can't stand to have more than 3 of them at the same time. haha I currently only have 2. I tend to finish with them before going out to get more. I haven't had the chance to smell any of the ones you shared today, but I've actually heard amazing things about the Gaga one!
ReplyDeleteAh really? I like to have many so I have the variation of choice! I get your point though - it does make sense to finish them so they don't loose their scent! x
DeleteVW Princess is one of my faves! Definitely want to try CK, too. Thanks for reviewing.
ReplyDeleteSo many people love it! CK perfumes are fantastic x
DeleteI'm going to have to check some of those out! I need a new one!!!
ReplyDeleteIdeal time! x
DeleteOooo I want to see what the lady gaga ones like! x

ReplyDeleteOooh I do love DKNY! Have you smelt their limited edition perfumes for Summer? I really want them, not like I need more perfume or anything! x

CK do such good fruity perfumes! x
DeleteI am a big fan of perfumes too. My habit is so bad that I can't get myself to use some of them... so lame and pointless. I haven't smelt any of the fragrances you have listed as your favourites, so will certainly be making note of them and giving them a whiff on my next shopping trip.
