Summer is here, which means warmer weather and a new fragrance to enjoy. Love that!

When temperature soar, it is a good idea to lighten up your perfume. If you wear something heavy, it may not, shall we say, perspire well? Yes, we will put it that way.

The summer months are a great time to explore floral fragrances, vanilla scents, and of course, coconut! There is something about coconut and vanilla together which evokes a summer vibe. Love that! My favorite summer fragrance is this Vanilla Coconut scent from Lavanila. I love the vacation vibes it gives out.

Plagued by bugs when it heats up? Me too! I am dying to try this new, limited-edition scent from diptyque which promises to be a fruity floral and a citronella candle on your skin. I’m in! I am purchasing it and will give you a review soon! So, stay tuned. . .

Of course, classic Chanel no. 5 is always appropriate and anything fun and fruity works perfectly in the heat. What are some of your favorite summer scents?

Scented body cream for summer 2023

‘Tis the season for scents! When warm, summer weather arrives, I love to wear scented body lotion which is subtle, and offers just enough fragrance without being overwhelming. My favorite scents in the summer include coconut, vanilla, and Colleen Rothschild’s Tahitian Monoi; it is absolutely fabulous!

There are two main reasons scented body cream is far superior to just wearing perfume during the warm summer months. The subtle scent is perfect when perspiration happens, and it will happen, plus, body cream helps restore dry skin from summer sun and fun. That’s two birds with one stone! Love that!

My two favorite brands are Colleen Rothschild, and Laura Mercier, but the other brands I am showing you are good too. Colleen Rothschild and Laura Mercier are the ones I reach for the most often. They have beautiful scents plus offer the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. I love being outdoors during the summer months, so a good body cream is essential.

Shop my favorite scented body cream around the web.
