Recommend a Summer perfume

mormel20 — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 19:05:20 GMT

I want a perfume that is not too overwhelming in hot weather. I have Coco Madamollise but It is sometimes too much for Summer (at least in my opinion). Recommend something for me. Thanks

@mormel20 I really like Elizabeth Arden White Tea. It's a light floral summer fragrance...but I wear it year round. I always get compliments when I wear it.

@mormel20 - I like Estée Lauder's Bronze Goddess. You might want to check out @CANDLEQUEEN's similar thread in the Beauty forum. There are a lot of suggestions there.

This is a lovely fragrance. I wear it, too. It's very light and refreshing and comes in an Eau De Toilette form. I love Elizabeth Arden fragrances.

Another pretty E. Arden fragrance is Green Tea. It has lemon notes in it too if you like citrus fragrances.

Another fragrance with a citrus notes in it is Clinique Happy. It has notes of grapefruit and mimosa, and wedding flower. It's a favorite of mine.

@mormel20 , I love the REALLY old school scents for summer. But hate to spend a lot. Over the years I've researched, and found a couple of acknowledged duplicates of some really expensive ones.

For "Rive Gauche" by Yves Saint Laurent, try

1). "Calandre" by Paco Rabanne. It's also an excellent designer French scent, very similar, but less expensive than pricey "Rive Gauche", and on sale on Amazon. Sophisticated green notes, lily of the valley, geranium. Delicate, clean, but with staying power.

For romantic "L'Air du Temps" by Nina Ricci--

2) "Wind Song" by Prince Matchabelli. Believe it or not, inexpensive and available at drug stores-- it has long been known by perfume experts as a dead ringer for pricier "L'Air du Temps". Mandarin orange, carnation, sandalwood. Floats on a summer breeze...

3). "Halston" by Halston. It's not a dupe for anything that I'm aware of, but it's a heady summer fragrance. And it's much LESS expensive than it used to be when it was the new kid on the block. My mother smelled wonderful wearing it. Rounded notes of peach, ylang-ylang, jasmine.

When a scent is less expensive than it used to be, it sometimes means another company has bought it and could have tinkered with the formula, buyer beware. But I still think "Halston" might be worth a try...

You might consider the Pacifica scents. They're very floral and summery. They're available at Sephora and Target. And they're all under $30. My DH prefers them over my more expensive scents.

On the light floral side my absolute favorite is Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche. I also love Jo Malone florals. But again, DH prefers the Pacifica ones.

@Oznell In the 70's I wore Prince Matchabelli, Wind Song.

Then in the 80's I switched to Nina Ricci's,

L'Air du Temps.

In the Spring and early Summer, I loved to wear

Muguet by Coty.

I still like the light florals of Highland Lilac and

Yardley's Lily of The Valley in Spring.

Some of my favorite Summer fragrances are from

Bermuda, Bermuda Breeze is one.

From Lili Bermuda, I like Passion Flower and

Coral, for Summer.

Wearing those Bermuda fragrances, brings back lovely memories of all my Bermuda vacations.

Bobbi Briwn. BEACH Although it doesn't smell like it did when Bobbi owned company I still like it. I wear coppertone lotion on my legs, so it smells good and fresh on a hot day. We live near beach, so I wear it all year round.
