“I always have a couple perfumes on hand that I wear depending on my mood and the season. For summer, my favorite scent is Tryst Kiss, a perfume I first got a couple years ago during a trip to Nashville, Tennessee. It has light tones of grapefruit, peaches, berries, florals, caramel, and sandalwood. But to me, the grapefruit and floral scents stand out the most, which is perfect for the warmer months! I love it because it reminds of summer vacations, road trips, and adventures.” - Sarah H.

“My summer fragrance is the Escada’s Taj Sunset. It is a sweet perfume that is perfect for summer and its beautiful sunsets. Escada only carries their scents for one year, so unfortunately this only gets to be my summer 2012 scent. But I am seriously loving it! PS — It gets a lot of oohs and ahhs and some serious eye catching and nose sniffing from cute boys.”- Bethany S.
Charlie Colorblock Clutch
“My new favorite scent is Coach Poppy! I have the rollerball in my purse — and I love it so much I think I’ll start buying all my perfumes in rollerball form. It’s fresh and floral and a really light scent. I don’t like anything overpowering, especially for summer.” - Sarah T.

Libby Foldover Messenger Clutch
“Lola makes me feel OH LA LA! What first caught my eye was the gorgeous bottle that looks more like a fancy floral decoration than a perfume bottle. It smells like a fresh, tropical flower bouquet that lasts day and night. Lola’s scent is the essence of summer.” - Amanda J.
Jamison Patent Clutch
Are you looking for your signature summer scent? Body mist is an inexpensive way to catch people’s attention because its light scent is not overpowering; however, it doesn’t last long. If you’re looking for a long-lasting fragrance, invest in a bottle of perfume. It may be pricier than mist, but you definitely don’t need to wear as much and it lasts longer. You need just a couple spritz to get the day started, another to kick off the night, and you’ll be ready for sweet summertime.
