The Heat of Summer: Bright New Perfumes
Store away the exuberant winter fragrances and get ready to feel the breeze of summer. It's the season to try light, airy, citrusy scents that will make you feel virtually weightless. Just like the air, water and sun bottled in one.

Opium D'Ete Summer Fragrance for Women [by Yves Saint Laurent]
Opium is traditionally a spicy, exotic and heavy perfume. Not this version. It's light and airy, yet still sensual and elegant - it will make you into the sun goddess.
Key notes: lemon, amber, patchouli, Italian bergamot
You will feel: radiant, weightless, sexy
[Calvin Klein] Eternity Summer Perfume for Women
This scent reminds me of an old movie where a starlet is swept away by her love on a seaside weekend. They sit in the dunes watching the blue skies in their white summer hats, and the air carries a light breeze of the sea, the grass and romance.
Key notes: grapefruit, lily of the valley, fig, verbena, jasmine, magnolia
You will feel: romantic, hopeful, happy

[Stella McCartney] Sheer Stella
This is not entirely a new scent, rather an updated version of the old favorite. I am a huge fan of Stella's designs and her scent collection is no exception. Sheer Stella is very sensual and warm, yet light and crisp, with a slight taste of berries - perfect for summer nights out.
Key notes: white freesia, morning rose, raspberry, peony, white musk, pink pepper
You will feel: playful yet subtle, tantalizing and elegant

This scent can even make you feel more confident and assertive, because who can resist you now?
Key notes: freesia, pomegranate, strawberry meringue, peony, rose, vanilla
