The world of scent, like clothing and beauty, is subject to the whims of shifting trends. Some patterns, like these, are cyclical, while others are driven by wider changes in the world around us.

Summer calls for light linens and sheer materials, and our scent collection is no exception. The five largest scent trends this season are lighter, brighter, and more fun.


While sales of many other high-end cosmetic products have plummeted in recent years, the perfume business has witnessed a surge in demand. This has resulted in a sales boom not witnessed in decades.

If you've been thinking about trying a new trademark perfume, now is the moment. But first, familiarise yourself with some of the best summer scent trends for 2022 and beyond.

Here are some of the perfume trends that will be influencing scent this summer.

Citrus That Feels Like Beach Breeze On The Skin

Nothing is more mood-lifting or uplifting than a sparkling, lively citrus aroma throughout the summer. Take Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, for instance: if you can't visit the Italian Riviera this year, you can at least smell like it. The fresh winds, sparkling clear water, and lush vegetation of its namesake are well captured in this aroma. Parfumerie Editions Malle, Frédéric Eau De Magnolia, on the other hand, is a mood-lifting fragrance that combines bright, zesty citrus with creamy magnolia. Aqua Universalis by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a wonderfully fresh and inspirational scent that flawlessly balances citrus and oak.

The White Florals Floating Through a Warm Evening Sky

There's nothing more seductive than the scent of jasmine blossoming at night, and these scents wonderfully capture that pleasure. Diptyque Do Son EDT transports you to the Vietnamese seashore with a breezy sea breeze and fragrant tuberose; sure to get your comments. With neroli, orange blossom, jasmine, rose, vanilla, and musk—all it's the best elements of summer in a bottle—Le Labo Neroli 36 is guaranteed to put a spring in your step. D.S. & DURGA Crystal Pistil, a scent enhancer that smells like dew droplets on petals, can be layered with other perfumes or worn alone to provide a summer touch to your daily routine.

A Sensitive Rose Take

These light-as-a-petal versions of the traditional rose scent get a contemporary makeover. With the combination of earthiness and rose sweetness, Byredo Rose Of No Man's Land EDP appears to pull the full bloom from the ground. Like a blooming paradise on a tropical island, Kai Perfume Oil is a fresh, floral aroma of dreaming rose, gardenia, and exotic white blossoms. While ALTAIA By Any Other Name EDP tells the narrative of young love set against an English background with a heart of rose and peony contrasted by lively bursts of juicy lychee and bergamot and a foundation of smoky cedar.

Fruity Fragrances are Proof That They Can Still Be Cool

If the notion of fruity scents takes you back to middle school, it's time to try these grown-up versions. Vilhelm Parfumerie Mango Skin Eau De Parfum is sweet, sensuous, and excellent for summer, smelling like a juicy mango with floral notes, patchouli, and vanilla to keep it from being overly sugary. With a juicy pear perfume that's sweet, as the name says, but unexpectedly light and clean, Ellis Brooklyn's Sweet EDP demonstrates fruit can be delightfully elegant.

A Sweet and Scrumptious Vanilla Taste

Vanilla smells are sweet and scrumptious, perfect for breezy summer nights, and you'll keep going back for more. Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid EDP is vanilla, but not as you know it, with cassis, citrus, and freshly picked jasmine. Sol de Janeiro SOL Cheirosa '62 EDP is intoxicatingly delightful, combining the warmth of the sun on the skin with the golden light of Rio. Wear it all summer long, from the beach to the bar.

The Top 5 Summer Scents You Should Try

Switching up your darker, cosier scents with summer-inspired alternatives like light flowers and zesty citruses is a great way to refresh your fragrance collection.

To assist you, this article has compiled a list of the top 5 summer smells that can brighten your mood. You may begin spritzing them right now.

The Maison Margiela Replica Eau de Toilette

This summer scent comes the closest to smelling like a basket of lemons without having to carry them around with you. Fresh vanilla and musk notes give this zesty smell even more depth, making it somewhat sweet but not overwhelming.

The Chanel Les Eaux Paris-Venise Eau De Toilette

Unfortunately, a trip to Venice isn't in my summer plans right now, but this bright summer scent is. It has a vanilla and neroli scent that makes you feel like you're on a yacht off the coast of Italy with just one spray.

The Lancome La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal Eau De Parfum

Not only will this Lancome summer perfume look stunning on your Instagram page, but it also smells fantastic. This smell has a pleasant, tropical sensation because of the combination of coconut, vanilla, white iris, and mandarin oils. It'll put a smile on your face right away.

The Acqua Di Parma Chinotto Di Liguria

The combination of mandarin and jasmine notes captures citrusy fragrances and fresh seaside air in every spritz of this summer fragrance. Spray it once and you'll nearly feel like you're on a yacht in the Mediterranean, sipping wine.

The Cartier La Panthère Eau De Parfum Spray

This summer scent has a scent that will make people remember you long after you've left the place (in a good way, not a tea-spilling way). Gardenia light notes coupled with musk powerful notes are energetic enough to make you feel like you can take on the world, yet gentle enough if you simply want to snooze.

Perfumes with pleasant scents might help you fight the summertime blues. Your fragrances, like every other summer collection, require an upgrade. To feel alive and energetic, the summer season calls for fresh, flowery, fruity, and zesty aromas. Perfumes are beneficial to one's health and well-being since they improve mood, reduce anxiety, and reduce stress. To combat body odour and the current heatwave, switching to mild floral perfumes has become necessary.
