“Looking for a scent that instantly gets you compliments? Dior’s new Dioriviera is it. Created by the house’s perfume creative director, Francis Kurkdjian, the eau de parfum blends together all the best scents of the French Riviera: the coastal sunlight, fig trees, and fresh roses (not your grandmother’s rose perfume).” —Katie Intner, associate beauty editor

“Ceremonia is widely known as a hair care brand, but I consider their first entry into fragrance a hit. I’ve never had the opportunity to experience the smell of humidity in a rainforest, but one spritz of this perfume mentally takes me there. The genderless Perfume de la Tierra nicely blends South American tonka bean with pink pepper, vetiver, and driftwood, and is not only vegan, but also features a post-consumer recycled bottle, which makes me feel better about using it.” —TD

Armani Beauty’s more intensive perfume iteration of its My Way fragrance is next on our list, featuring floral, woody, and gourmand notes. “I think My Way truly signifies carving up my own path, doing things my own way, and being as fearless and free-spirited as possible as I do so,” brand ambassador Sydney Sweeney told Bazaar.com in January. “That was one of the biggest reasons that I loved this collaboration, because I truly felt like it was genuinely me as a person.”

“As part of this year’s summer fragrance collection, Diptyque released the Mediterranean Ilio—Greek for sun—eau de toilette, a prickly pear, bergamot, and iris-forward scent that’s perfect for warmer months. Did I mention the scent is also available as a hair mist?” —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor
AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina

“Some summery scents lean too heavy on cloying coconut and sunscreen notes to conjure up the beach. What I love about Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina is how citrus-forward it is. It smells zippy, like the first sip of fresh-squeezed juice on a sunny day.” —Jenna Rosenstein, beauty director

Be chill,” multimedia artist Alex Israel told Bazaar in May of Louis Vuitton’s latest costal-inspired summer scent. “And the chill is starting here.” Featuring a blend of notes stemming from ingredients like carrot seed oil, basil, and apricot, the fruity yet earthy fragrance is made to be worn beachside.

We didn’t anoint Ariana Grande the last great celebrity perfumer for no reason. Her latest drop is Mod Vanilla, a musky vanilla scent that smells sophisticated—expensive, even. If you’re a fan of vanilla perfumes but prefer softness to sweetness, you have to try this.

“Even on the hottest, muggiest days in New York, Loewe Arie Anthesis has a way of making the air feel lighter. With notes of pear, sandalwood, and peony, this scent mimics a salty ocean breeze wafting past a lush herb garden in the Hamptons. This eau is also the first fragrance from the brand to feature the new Loewe Accord, which is an amber-y accord meant to embody the brand’s identity and aesthetic.” —KI

“Phlur fragrances are a hit for a reason: They are simple, yet well-rounded, and induce a wave of déja vù. The brand’s newest scent, Solar Power, instantly transports me to weekends spent at the beach with my family as a child. From the salty air—courtesy of musk, sea salt, and driftwood notes—to lying under the warm sun for hours—which is perfectly replicated by a solar floral accord with neroli, jasmine, and orange flower—this fragrance is sheer summer perfection. Plus, it’s so soft, you can build it up for staying power or keep it light on muggy days.” —KI

“Inflorescence from Korean brand Elorea’s second collection, the Forgotten Words, is a soft floral scent. It opens with notes of schisandra berry and mulberry before transitioning to plum blossom, lily of the valley, and honeysuckle, and drying down to reveal base notes of sandalwood, white amber, and musk. I love that this unisex scent sits close to the skin to create a fragrance experience that isn’t overwhelming.” —Jamie Wilson, beauty editor

Its fresh combination of verbena, sweet fennel, and patchouli stands out in a sea of deeply musky colognes.” —TD

“Ourside launched earlier this year with three scents made right here in New York. After testing out their discovery kit, I kept coming back to Dusk. It’s soft and fruity before drying down to warm amber and musk notes. Dusk is a fragrance that isn’t overpowering, and I love that it’s best noticed by those in close proximity.” —JW

“Floral, fruity, and woody, Mediterranean Peach 15 from Krigler expertly bottles the Riviera in each spritz. While peach is the star of this scent, honey, mandarin, and jasmine from the Mediterranean—along with white musk—amplify it. The scent itself is a modern revival and re-interpretation of the 1915 fragrance, making it the perfect ode to nostalgia.” —JW

Trudon’s spicy and sensual Mortel Noir eau de parfum is ideal for date night, or anytime you’re looking for an easy confidence boost. Just like its cult-y candle offerings, this black pepper, incense, and myrrh-noted fragrance is all-consuming, as well as long-lasting.
“The signature scents Aesop uses in its beauty products are often among my favorites, and its Gloam Eau de Parfum is no exception. I’m not sure how a fragrance can be almost equal parts floral, earthy, and spicy, but this one pulls it off effortlessly, combining notes of pink pepper, mimosa, and iris for an irresistible scent that works year-round.” —TD

Sisley Paris’s Les Eaux Rêvées collection is a range of six reimagined scents inspired by members of the brand’s founding family, the d’Ornanos. The L’Eau Rêvée d’Hubert fragrance is its newest, featuring earthy notes like geranium, which call back to familiar scents found around the family’s country home. “My parents were together for more than 50 years,” Christine d’Ornano, Sisley’s global vice president told us in March. “They did everything together, and now my mother has helped create this geranium fragrance for my father.”
“Only Diptyque could turn paper into the chicest scent. The fragrance is the best of both: clean and subtle, but rich and comforting. White musk, powdery mimosa, and a rice steam accord—which mimics the grain of paper and gives the juice a creamy effect—is extremely universal and captures quiet luxury at its best.” —KI
