Yay to new summer smells.

There are so many new perfumes popping up left right and centre. I’m a tad overwhelmed to be honest. There are so many scents that are quite worthy of being called ‘my signature scent’. But how are you suppose to find this one signature scent when there are so many you like? Having 20 of them really defeats the purpose; who has 20 signatures? (The bank window teller would have a heart attack; they get worked up when I can’t exactly replicate my own signature on a stupid little computer piece of crappy technology, so you can only imagine the fuss if I had 20 of them).

All this hoopla of a single signature scent has got me thinking that our signatures actually lie in the TYPE of smells we go for e.g. fresh, woody, musky... (did you know musk is originally extracted from the glands of animals. I love animals, but not so much their gland juices thanks.)

Be sure to check out some of these new summer smells that might tickle your fancy.

cK One Summer Limited Edition available August.
Oh my dear god, Im very excited about this one. I loved the cK One Summer of 07 and am eagerly waiting for August. It is a watery, woody fragrance with opening notes of watermelon, cucumber and watermint. Its the fresh, clean, yet zingy summer day smell that I personally adore. Oh, and the packaging makes you want to jump into the bottle and play.

Stella McCartney Limited Edition Sheer Stella available August 4th.
A sheer, feminine floral and musk scent. Opening notes of peony and white freesia and end notes of musk and raspberry. A very sweet sucle smell.

Calvin Klein Eternity Summer available in August.
A fresh, soft and floral fragrance with top notes of bamboo leaf, crushed basil and mandarin. An airy summer day fragrance with a touch of gingerroot that excites the senses. This fragrance is both uplifting and serene.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, now available.
My favourite pick for the ultimate ‘summer night’ scent. The notes include orange blossom, jasmine, mandarin, amber, sandalwood, vetiver, caramel and coconut cream. Very similar to Azuree Soleil from Tom Fords collection for Estee Lauder which is now over. It also comes in a body oil consistency that begs to be worn on a warm summer’s night with beach hair and bare, bronzed skin. Estee Lauder also launched a complimentary makeup collection. Once again, it is limited edition so snap it up. Oh how I’m missing summer...

P.S. Benefit is releasing a new fragrance called B Spot. Stay tuned.
P.P.S. I mentioned the words ‘scent’ and ‘fragrance’ too many times to count (aka 11)
