Warm Florals & Musky 🌅
Beachy & Tropical 🌴
This is my go-to "feel sexy without trying" scent. It smells like pistachio gelato melting on warm skin under a tropical sun. Every time I wear it, someone tells me I smell edible—in a good way. It’s comforting, sweet, and warm, like skin after a day...
Sol de Janeiro: Cheirosa 62
This one is pure joy. It smells like SPF, banana smoothies, and childhood beach trips in the best way. It’s cheeky and fun—like wearing a pineapple-printed swimsuit and oversized sunglasses. The scent isn't serious or mature, and that’s exactly the p...
Vacation Eau de Toilette
This one feels like golden hour in a bottle. It’s fruitier than Cheirosa 62—more plum-forward—with a warm, creamy dry-down that gives it elegance. I wear it when I want to feel put-together but still summer-chic. It’s a little more grown-up, like a t...
Sol de Janeiro: Cheirosa 40
This is summer-in-a-bottle for under $20—and I mean that in the best way. It's like drinking a coconut smoothie while lounging in a hammock. It’s creamy, sweet, and sunny, without being too heavy. I use it as a body mist after a beach shower or even ...
Bath and Body Works: Waikiki Beach Coconut
Fresh & Citrusy 🍋
Light Blue is the classic for a reason. It’s crisp apple, cool lemon, and soft woods that just scream “summer.” It’s clean but still has a flirty edge. I always pack this for vacations—it works on the beach, at dinner, or anywhere in between. It’s th...
Dolce&Gabbana: Light Blue
This is juicy, bright, and energetic—like sunshine in a bottle. It’s citrusy but smooth, with this creamy softness underneath that makes it feel luxe. I love it for those hot summer days when I want something light and happy that lifts my mood instan...
Atelier Cologne: Clementine California
This one smells like a citrus grove meets an herb garden—fresh, green, and elegant. It’s not your typical fruity scent; it has a sharp, clean edge thanks to the basil. I wear it when I want to feel crisp, collected, and stylish. Perfect for garden pa...
Jo Malone: Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne
Aquatic & Clean 🌊
This is one of those scents that instantly shifts your mood. It captures the feeling of standing barefoot on a warm boardwalk, wind in your hair, a little sunburned but happy. The citrusy opening is refreshing, then it softens into creamy coconut and...
Maison Margiela: Replica Beach Walk
Rain is exactly what it says it is—like stepping outside after a summer thunderstorm, everything dewy and calm. It’s light, genderless, and grounded in nature. I spray it on when I need a fresh reset or want to feel grounded and calm. Think quiet mor...
Clean Reserve: Rain
Floral & Feminine🌸
This is a fruity-floral explosion that practically screams “girls’ trip.” It opens with a pop of cherry blossom and citrus that feels super energetic, like the first sip of a summer cocktail. It’s flirty, youthful, and ideal for festivals, vacations,...
Escada: Summer Festival
This is one of those fragrances that makes you feel polished even when you’re wearing jeans and a white tank. It’s soft, feminine, and light—grapefruit and jasmine that melt into your skin like a whisper. I reach for this on days I want to smell expe...
Chanel: Chance Eau Tendre
This is pure sunshine. It’s the scent of brunch with friends, fresh flowers on the table, and iced lattes in hand. The raspberry and rose combo is cheerful and fresh, never too floral or too sweet. I’ve worn this to work, on weekend errands, even on ...
Marc Jacobs: Daisy Eau so Fresh
Sweet & Youthful 💖
Cloud Pink is playful, girly, and honestly kind of addictive. The dragonfruit and berries give it that bright, pop-star sparkle, but there’s also this creamy, soft vibe that makes it feel wearable all day. I wear this when I want to feel youthful and...
Ariana Grande: Cloud Pink
Warm Florals & Musky 🌅
This is that “you but better” scent everyone talks about—and it lives up to the hype. It’s warm, musky, and quietly sexy. When I wear this, people lean in closer instead of being hit with perfume. It’s minimal and modern, like freshly washed skin and...
Glossier You
Wearing Soleil Blanc feels like slipping into a white linen outfit and walking onto a private beach in St. Barts. It’s luxurious and sun-drenched but not in a flashy way—think understated glam. The coconut is creamy, not sugary, balanced by spicy car...
Tom Ford: Soleil Blanc
