The UK is experiencing another pretty rubbish summer so I’m kinda sticking with my usual favourites – Ralph Lauren and Gucci II :/
I’m off to Spain in a couple of weeks so I’ll buy something more fruity at the airport 🙂
Nice choices though 🙂
Currently i’m rotating between baby phat(pink bottle) and lolita lempicka(purple bottle). LL is my main scent and bp is something fresh I use when i’m not going somewhere important.
Oh, nice scents, Quynh!
Bronze Goddess EL is my favorite, but I’m using also Aloha Tiarè Comptoir Sud Pacifique, Youth dew amber nude EL and Vanille coco Coudray
Sounds so fancy 🙂
I am using D&G light blue, Pink suga uhhh….princess ralph rocks and wild. marc jacobs daisy…I use a lot of different ones everyday
Oh, love the D&G one!
My usual, Gucci Rush 2. Works well in warm weather, too. :o)
Sometimes, if the mood strikes, I use Jil Sander Sun or White Musk from The Body Shop…
Ahh, got it 😉 I’m still workin’ The Beat even though it’s more spring-y.
My summer perfume this year is Eternity Summer 2008, however on colder days, like the last couple of days, I prefer Jil Sander Style.
Nice, Betts!
I am using Chloe and Dior Addict Shine.
Sometimes I use my Marc Jacobs Daisy.
I just bought Daisy, hm!
I’m never big into expensive fragrances. I usually just use body sprays like Victoria’s Secret Love Spell. I just picked up a body spray from Bath and Body Works that is pure coconut and it smells amazing. It’s perfect for summer.
Those are always fun, though 😉
I like using michael by michael kors in summer (tho its winter here in AUS at the mo.)
I also like anna sui secret wish (the one in the blue bottle w/the fairy on top) and I also like lancome tresor and vera wang princess (not usually cos its a pretty common scent). For special occasions i LOVE chanel coco madmoiselle.
What are you using for winter, then? 😀
FlowerBomb by Victor & Rolf
I love this scent!
I pretty much use the same scent all year long. Chanel Chance. My boyfriend got it for me for my birthday. I love when I’ve just put it on and I go up to him and he says I smell nice.
Aww 🙂 That is so fantastic, Kellie. Cuteness!
Is it the green one (I have that one), or do they all smell the same just different colors?
idk if these are really summer scents, but ralph lauren lauren style & versace bright crystal.
i usually stick to my norms, Dior’s Dunne or Lolita Lempicka…but the big hit i have is M by Mariah Carey. I swear if one more random person asks me what I have on…I am just going to have to do my own personal ad for Mariah. LOL
LOL! I need to take a sniff at M then!
DKNY Red Delicious…I love fruity scents, especially in the spring and summer, so that one is my favorite right now
This is a great scent for summer!
I am wearing Lancome’s Benghal, got it in Mexico and also D&G One.
Nice choices, Rubi!
Versace (the pink AND the yellow bottle are both delicious, my new FAVORITES!!) and Ralph Lauren (blue bottle).
Ohh, Versace!
I go between Marc Jacobs Grapefruit splash and Ralph Lauren Hot – love them!
I’ve heard many a good thing about MJ’s splashes!
I rotate between DKNY Be Delicious (the green one) and Thierry Mugler Innocent. 😀 I love both of them, they smell yummy. Malaysia is a tropical country so..it’s like summer all year round but with rain :/
Sounds like Be Delicious is a popular scent!
I am using Victoria Secret body mist in Halo.
Dkny red delicious for sure.
Good call!
DKNY Be Delicious (Green), Aquolina Pink Sugar, Valentino White, Clinique’s Happy, EL Pure White Linen Breeze, EL Beyond Paradise Blue, EL Pleasures (original), Lavender Essential Oil, Lucky No. 6… I used to work as an MA for Estee Lauder at Macy’s, so I snatched up a bunch of perfume with the employee holiday discounts : D
I’ve laid off of my staple, Egyptian Musk oil for a bit, and have been alternating between Clean ( by D’Lish), B&BW Fresh Pineapple Splash, and VS Pure Sedcution Splash. I’m trying to lighten it up a bit because is soooooooo hot this summer.
Oh, very nice 🙂
I only use fruity scents, so my fave right now is Dessert Treats Banana Split. It’s discontinued, but I still have a couple bottles of it.
Beyond paradise – Estee lauder
Nice choice of scent, Kleri!
My staple is fcuk Her, but I’ve been on a perfume buying spree lately! I tested Marc Jacobs Daisy and loved it, but sadly it fades super fast 🙁 I’m currently testing a sample of Anna Sui Secret Wish. I also just bought Kenzo Amour because I fell in love at first wiff when I tried it by chance at the store 🙂
Nice! It’s too bad Daisy faded on you. I recently purchased it, but I haven’t really worn it much yet… will have to note how it fades on me.
I’ve been wearing Bond No. 9 Chinatown because I finally picked up a decant. It’s not particularly summery but I looooove it. Unfortunately now I must have a bottle, which is going to kill my wallet. I wear Valentino Rock N Rose during the day since it’s light, and I’m testing Marc Jacobs Daisy and Stella right now. Thank god for samples at Sephora!
I love Bond No. 9 scents!
When I don’t wear perfume, I’ve actually been getting compliments on the scent from my new Lush products: Big shampoo and American Cream conditioner! I can’t smell it, but others can.
Right now I’m using CK In2U.
Nice, Sandy!
Light Blue, Tommy Girl 10, Bvlgari Rose Essentielle at nights, Miss Sixty =)
I love Bulgari Rose!
Oh, love your picks, Kayra!
I’m a HUGE fan of Arrogance Mix (lime, sugar) which I picked up last year at Sephora – it’s my (almost) daily scent! Light, wearable and delicious… it’s an EDT so I can spritz directly without being overpoweringly scented. I’m also loving MAC Turquatic lately.
Oh, that sounds really nice, Liz!
I’ve been rotating through four: Sheer Stella (2007 version), D&G Light Blue, MJ Daisy, and Dior Addict Shine. Addict Shine is by far my favorite!
Addict Shine is very lovely!
I’ve been using Marc Jacobs Daisy. I love it!
I just recently purchased this!
My Gucci Rush!
Great pick, Annie!
Escada Moon Sparkle. Yuuuum.
That’s a GREAT scent for summer, perfect!
It’s not quite a perfume, it’s more of a body spray. It’s Victoria’s Secret Sexy Little Things fragrance mist! It smells so fresh!
Body sprays are great for summer wear 🙂
I bought MAC Turquatic Heat & am wearing it when I go out – it’s nice for warm nights.
Nice 🙂 Glad you liked it!
I mostly wear Burberry Weekend – an oldie, but a goodie- and Givenchy’s Very Irresistible. I want to get Marc Jacobs’s Daisy. I adore its fruity, flirty scent
Oldies can be good 😀
Burberry Brit. my mom bought it for me for Christmas and it has become my signature scent. i love the vanilla notes. 😀
What a great gift to get, Selene!
I’ve just stumbled upon Fresh’s Limon and Honey scent..I love it, but the boyfriend hates it…
The boyfriend got me some Ed Hardy-Love Kills Slowly and I Luuuurrrve it. It’s been my signature scent since.
Also, at times I wear B-Spot by Benefit. It’s a nice change from the day to day floral of Ed Hardy. When I want something a little more clean and delicate, I wear this one.
Isn’t that always the way? Ugh, you love it, the boy doesn’t!
I’m actually falling in love with some classical and fresh scents:
L’escale à Portofino, Dior. It’s such a beautiful fresh eau de cologne with zesty lemon scent.
Acqua di Parma “Iris nobile”, lightly and romantic, just for evening.
Sometimes i use also Guerlain Aqua allegoria “Mandarine-Basilic”, i bought it last summer and the bottle is quite empty.
You have such good taste, Alice!
I’m currently shifting back and forth between Kenzo Amour (my all-time HG for daytime wear) and DKNY Be Delicious.
Hi Mandy,
Very lovely scents you’re wearing this summer 🙂
