Best Scents for Summer

Delicate and fresh, perfumes with floral or tropical scents are refreshing and perfect for summer. Representing the essence of love, sweet smelling perfumes are the perfect "accessory" that can complete any look. Here are nine of the best scents for the summer that will bring happiness and youthfulness in your life.

Perfumes are described as having three sets of "notes". There are the top notes, which can be perceived immediately after you apply the perfume, and they evaporate quickly. These notes form the first impression of a perfume. Then, there are the middle notes or the "heart" that emerge after the top notes dissipate. Finally, the base notes that can not be perceived until 30 minutes after application, and they are the main part of any perfume.

Chloé Eau de FleursThe house of Chloé presented this February a new collection of three fragrances named “Chloé Eau de Fleurs”: Lavender, Capucine and Neroli.
Eau de Fleurs Lavande. The notes feature bergamot, violet, tea, lavender, iris, musk, vetiver and ambergris.
