Why Are Floral and Fruity Perfumes Good for Summer?
There’s something effortlessly light and refreshing about floral and fruity fragrances that screams warm weather and long nights. This year, summer fashion, makeup, and fragrance trends are all about embracing the clean girl energy, and floral and fruity scents give off the perfect natural vibe.
There’s no better way to top off the ultimate clean girl look than with a fresh fragrance, so let’s dive into our favorites!
1. Rose Era
The first scent on our list is Rose Era, a fragrance that’s floral and fruity in equal parts. Rose Era brings together an irresistible blend of rose, strawberry, clean laundry accord, ambrette seeds, white moss, saffron, and sandalwood.
Unlike classic rose scents that can be somewhat stifling, Rose Era presents a more complex, light take on rose that will keep you coming back for more.
Sweet and fresh, this fragrance is a great go-to for a romantic walk in the park or drinks with the girls on a rooftop terrace. Rose's floral quality makes it ideal for summer, and the fruity notes give it a playful edge you don’t want to miss.
2. Swede Tooth
There’s no denying that the clean girl aesthetic has its roots in Scandinavian style, so of course we had to include our newest Scandinavian-inspired scent on this list. Swede Tooth is a fruity, juicy scent that features sweet and tart notes that will send you straight back to the candle aisle of your youth.
With watermelon, raspberry, candy sugar, violet, cedarwood, and musk, Swede Tooth is the ideal summer scent for any candy-lover. You can experience a grown-up, gourmet take on your favorite gummy candies (and entice anyone with a sweet tooth of their own!) with this delicious new fragrance.
3. Tart Deco
Summer wouldn’t feel like summer without cherries, so why not incorporate them into your signature scent?
Tart Deco is our mysterious ode to the magic of a ripe black cherry that takes center stage in this fragrance along with rose, jasmine, birchwood, vetiver, and vanilla. This scent taps into the nostalgia of simpler times, and with just one spritz, you’ll get into your throwback groove too.
4. Me
One of the most exciting trends in fragrances right now are skin scents, and this summer is the perfect time to try out Snif Me. Skin scents are fragrances that are specifically designed to blend with and enhance your natural smell.
Subtle and endlessly alluring, these scents mimic the smell of your skin when you’re fresh out of the shower. Given that they aren’t as bold as other types of fragrances, their smell is incredibly intimate.
Me is a woody, musky, fruity fragrance that blends orris, plum, peach skin, white moss, musks, and sandalwood. The fruity top notes give way to musky middle and base notes that will linger on your skin and keep you smelling fresh all day long.
5. Coco Shimmy
Last on our list is the sunshine scent Coco Shimmy. Coconut, pineapple, sunscreen, surf wax, sandalwood, and tonka bean give this scent its sun-kissed smell. If you’re a lover of all things tropical and dreamy, then this is the fragrance for you.
The sunscreen and surf wax notes are a nod to days spent basking in the sun poolside or catching some waves at your favorite break. Even if you’ve never stepped on a surfboard, this can still be the summertime scent for you (we promise we won’t tell).
Spray it on, blast your favorite surf rock playlist, and let the good times roll.
FAQs
What distinguishes floral and fruity perfumes from other fragrance types?
Floral perfumes primarily feature scents derived from flowers like rose, jasmine, and lily, offering a romantic and often feminine aroma.
Fruity perfumes, on the other hand, incorporate notes from fruits such as berries, citrus, and tropical fruits, providing a sweet and refreshing scent. These fragrances are particularly popular in summer for their light and invigorating qualities.
Can I wear floral and fruity perfumes year-round?
While these scents are popular in summer for their freshness, many floral and fruity perfumes are versatile enough for year-round wear. In cooler months, opt for fragrances with deeper floral notes or those combined with warm base notes like amber or musk to add richness.
How do I choose the right floral or fruity perfume for me?
When you’re choosing a fragrance, it’s helpful to consider the following:
- Personal Preference: Identify which scents you naturally gravitate towards.
- Occasion: Lighter scents are generally more suitable for daytime or casual settings, while more intense fragrances can work well for evenings or special events.
- Skin Chemistry: Test perfumes on your skin to see how they interact with your body chemistry, as this can alter the scent.
Bring Out Your Fruity Side
There’s no better time to debut a fruity or floral fragrance than in summer. These fragrances will help you take your summer style to the next level of freshness.
Regardless of whether you experiment with a candy-inspired fragrance or keep things more minimal with a skin scent, you can’t go wrong with a Snif fragrance in your beauty bag this summer.
