We often associate summer scents with fresh, juicy citrus. But we tend to forget that citrus happens to be a fruit, and there are many other fruits associated with summer other than citrus fruits. Some of these fruits include coconuts and pineapples, among others.
While, of course, I’ve included citrus fragrances in this summer’s fruity scents list, I’ve also tried to include various options that cater to different tastes. I hope you find an option that suits your taste.
For Her:
1. Burberry Her Elixir EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Burberry |
| Best for | Women |
| Fragrance Family | Fruity |
| Notes | Top: Strawberry and Blackberry Middle: Jasmine Base: Vanilla, Amber, and Sandalwood |
| Release year | 2022 |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Jérôme di Marino and Maïa Lernout |
Starting off strong with one of my favorite scents as a Taurus. Her Elixir by Burberry is a fragrance that I have grown to love over the years and would love to keep in my rotation.
Her Elixir smells like a delicious milkshake. This gourmand scent opens with yummy strawberry and blackberry notes, which combine beautifully with creamy jasmine, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood. This versatile scent makes an ideal signature scent when the weather is a bit warmer.
2. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Estee Lauder |
| Best for | Women |
| Fragrance Family | Fruity |
| Notes | Top: Bergamot Middle: Tiare Flower and Coconut Base: Vanilla and Amber |
| Release year | 2019 |
| Projection | Low-Moderate |
| Perfumer | Estee Lauder |
Coconut is the king of summer fruits, and no other women’s fragrance does it as well as Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess, the ideal summer scent. This eau fraiche is light and works really well in the heat.
Ultimately, the star here is the coconut, which is held closely to the skin, alongside notes of vanilla and a hint of amber. Bronze Goddess is a skin scent designed for girls who are almost always at the beach or by the poolside as soon as the weather warms up.
For him:
1. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau EDT
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Jean Paul Gaultier |
| Best for | Men |
| Fragrance Family | Woody Aromatic |
| Notes | Top: Bergamot Middle: Coconut Base: Tonka Bean |
| Release year | 2019 |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant |
As for the beach-loving man, I suggested Le Beau. Another coconut fragrance, and like the previous option for women, this men’s fragrance has the coconut right in the heart.
Three simple notes make the dreamiest fruity summer fragrance for him. Bergamot, coconut, and tonka bean. I would suggest packing this fragrance for your summer vacation to enjoy a fruity coconut refresher on your trip.
2. Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream EDT
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Valentino |
| Best for | Men |
| Fragrance Family | Amber Spicy |
| Notes | Top: Pineapple and Mandarin Orange Middle: Spices, Gingerbread, and Ginger Base: Vanilla Absolute and Cedar Essence |
| Release year | 2021 |
| Projection | High |
| Perfumer | Valentino |
I believe the “yellow” in Yellow Dreams by Valentino is referring to the pineapple in this spicy summer scent. To be fair, I would recommend this scent all year round, considering its well-balanced and versatile nature.
Anyway, if you’re looking to rock a sophisticated, pineapple-forward, fresh, spicy scent this summer, look no further than Born in Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino.
Unisex:
1. Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Lattafa |
| Best for | Men |
| Fragrance Family | Amber woody |
| Notes | Top: Pineapple and Saffron Middle: Balsam Fir and Jasmine Base: Amber, Cedar, and Agarwood |
| Release year | 2016 |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Lattafa |
Daytime, summer, and spring aren’t exactly what comes to mind when we’re discussing amber woody scents, yet Lattafa has proved us all wrong with this unisex fragrance.
Pineapple is at the opening of Qaed al Fursan by Lattafa, accompanied by a mesmerizing note of saffron feels like a burst of joy. The amber and sharp fruit mix gives off powdery/ animallic musky notes. I would recommend this for the summer in the UAE, as it performs surprisingly well in the heat.
2. Mancera Cedrat Boise EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Mancera |
| Best for | Unisex |
| Fragrance Family | Citrus Aromatic |
| Notes | Top: Sicilian Lemon, Bergamot, Black Currant, and Spicy Notes Middle: Fruity Notes, Patchouli Leaf, and Water Jasmine Base: Cedar, Leather, Sandalwood, Vanilla, White Musk, and Moss |
| Release year | 2011 |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Pierre Montale |
Back to citrus scents, this aromatic fragrance by Mancera is an absolute magnet for women (or men). Cedrat Boise surely is an impressive fragrance that is working overtime.
This complex, unique scent will captivate anyone, and I highly recommend it as a first-date fragrance or for any other romantic occasion. The combination of woody, fruity, and citrusy aromas makes it irresistible.
