phlur
obvi ANY phlur perfume is heavenly 💕💕i buy a new one almost every season with how much i use it but these are def my top summer picks
smells like a freezing cold, slushy blend of fresh watermelon, pineapple, and pulpy dragon fruit. it’s a total tropical explosion but has sandlewood and vanilla at the base so you don't smell like a juice box.
phlur - dragon fruit
if you hate warm, heavy summer scents and just want to smell purely refreshed, get this. it smells like crisp green apple, sour pomegranate, and fresh rainwater. it’s super clean, sharp, and perfect for days when it’s way too hot outside.
phlur - moonstone
a literal green-tea-latte dream. it smells like creamy ceremonial matcha, white chocolate, and sweet steamed milk.

we see 100s of popular perfumes get famous every single day with a new person claiming it’s the new “hidden gem” but here are some that actually worth it
this literally smells like the air right after a massive thunderstorm. it’s salty, earthy, and clean. if u hate smelling like sugary fruit and just want to smell like nature, get this immediately.
fine'ry. - before the rainbow
smells like slicing open a crisp, sour granny smith apple right next to a bouquet of wet, green flowers and lemon zest. it's sharp, deeply refreshing, and completely escapes that heavy 'powdered grandma' vibe most florals have.

literally a gourmand dream. it smells like a zesty, sharp blast of candied lemon and fresh limencello, which quickly melts into a soft layer of sweet meringue, condensed milk, and a warm, buttery graham cracker crust. it’s bright, hyper-sweet, and sm...
sabrina carpenter - lemon pie
the ultimate 'compliment magnet' perfume that smells like luxury spun sugar, fresh spring iris, and warm vanilla patchouli. it is incredibly sweet, elegant, and notoriously long-lasting.
lancôme - la vie est belle (travel spray)
millie bobby brown's signature scent smells like a fresh, earthy garden party right after a morning rainstorm. it's a blend of tart bergamot, crisp sage, violet leaf, and cozy sandalwood.
florence by mills - wildly me
if you're completely over sweet, fruity summer scents and want something moody and dangerous, this is it. it smells like spicy black pepper, dark woods, wild poppy, and damp rain.
billie eilish - no 2

it smells like toasted marshmallow, warm rice milk, and soft powdery musk. it's incredibly cozy and smells exactly like a luxury dessert shop without being sickeningly sweet.
dedcool - mochi milk
it’s the ultimate 'i didn't even try to smell this good' scent. it’s a super clean amber vanilla that honestly smells like a hug from someone who actually has their life together. can't relate but we can pretend.
dedcool - taunt
smells like pink pepper, warm amber, and cozy cedarwood. it's sweet but earthy and completely genderless. perfect for looking like the mysterious, quiet main character reading in the corner of a coffee shop.smells like pink pepper, warm amber, and co...
