As a lady, I always love to look and smell glamorous, irrespective of the season! As the earth rotates around its axis, there are bound to be winters, falls, springs, and summers. Our A-game, when it comes to smelling exotic all year round, should never come to a standstill.
Surely, there are going to be some staple perfumes that you can use all year round, but certain ones that fit the warm, sunny days a lot better. Summers should be carefree and light, and the same concept should be applied to our summer perfumes as well. Summers are all about fruity, fresh, and delicious perfumes that smell like tropical cocktails and a walk by the seashore! Here are some of the best perfume for women for the summer months.

Dean Street Eau de Parfum by Ouai
The Soho district in London is vibrant all year round, but it comes to its full glory in the summer season. Hence, it completely makes sense that one of Ouai’s best summer perfume for women is named after Soho’s most iconic street, Dean Street.
This feels like a delicious, mouthwatering fragrance, with an array of extravagant notes. It first feels like a chic fruit cocktail of grapefruit, Mandarin Orange, and apricot. As the scent trail progresses, it becomes more floral with the introduction of rose, Linden blossom, violet, and magnolia.
It might sound very sweet, fruity, and floral, but in reality, as it dries down and becomes more of a skin scent, you’ll notice that it has a musky and warm finish, thanks to the amber and white musk notes, which makes it feel elegant and matured even for the summers. I simply adore the Dean Street EDP by the house of Ouai, and it has served me very well over the years.
Wood Sage & Sea Salt Eau de Cologne by Joe Malone London
My collection of summer perfume for women can never be completed without the addition of the amazing Wood Sage & Sea Salt Eau de Cologne by the house of Joe Malone London. Taking inspiration from the evergreen British seaside, this bottle of Joe Malone excellence gives the feeling of an elegant old cottage amidst the woods and by the sea.
The sea salt note is reminiscent of the aura of the British coastlines, whilst the sage notes add a hint of woodiness to balance out the entire fragrance. Legend has it that you can almost hear the sound of crashing waves every time you wear this scent!
Launched in 2014, this woody yet marine aromatic fragrance for women has the top note of Ambrette seeds. The heart note is made up of sea salt, and the base note is sage. The marine and salty feeling of this perfume, paired perfectly with the woody sage note, feels like a windswept shore with the waves breaking the silence.
Bee Eau de Parfum by Ellis Brooklyn
This is probably the most unique summer perfume for women that I own, and I’ll get to that right now.
From the scent of this perfume, it is quite obvious that it was made to give you the feeling of the time when the sun goes down. Rather, it kind of feels like you’re enjoying a dark and stormy evening at some beachside cocktail bar, while the summer vibes are in full flow!
With the exotic notes of black rum and deep berries blended with hints of cinnamon, honey, and vanilla, this perfume gives a sweet yet spicy warmth that’s so boozy and attractive. It’s delectable, to say the least, and my go-to scent for summer evening parties by the seaside.
Launched in 2021, this amber vanilla fragrance for women has the top notes of Rum and Davana. The heart notes are made up of honey, cinnamon, and bran. The base notes are vanilla, sandalwood, and cacao.
Maison Martin Margiela Replica Matcha Meditation Eau de Toilette
I’m a huge fan of Maison Martin Margiela’s Replica collection, both for the summers and the winters. Every fragrance under the Replica line of Maison Margiela evokes memories of a specific time and place, and this is what makes them unique and not just a regular bottle of perfume.
When I first came across this fragrance, I knew I needed to get my hands on one of these because I’m crazy for Matcha tea!
This is a fresh green summer scent that feels like a dash of green tea, but it has so much more going on. It contains notes of lush Jasmine and orange flowers, besides ripe bergamot and Mandarin, and even a note of sweet white chocolate. It’s magic inside a bottle.
To me, it smells like someone enjoying a cup of delicious matcha latte in her garden on a sunny Sunday morning. It doesn’t get more comforting and uplifting and more summery than this! Does it?
Launched in 2021, this aromatic green fragrance for women has the top notes of green tea, Mandarin Orange, and bergamot. The heart notes are made up of Jasmine, orange blossom, matcha tea, and mate. The base notes are white chocolate, cedar, and moss.
Maison Martin Margiela Replica Beach Walk Eau de Toilette
Another absolute banger of a fragrance from the house of Maison Martin Margiela, this can surely be the best perfume for women during the summers thanks to its salty and sunscreen-like aroma that’s reminiscent of a long walk along a sandy beach in the summer season.
Every time I wear this fragrance, it reminds me of the time when I used to go on long beach walks with my dad, with sunscreen all over my body, hot sand under my feet, and a timeless, salty sea breeze blowing all around!
The radiant notes of ylang-ylang and bergamot evoke memories of summer days spent on a beach, while the notes of musk and coconut milk envelop you in a comforting sensation of sun-kissed skin. It is a fragrance that will remind you of the scent of sunscreen, the salty taste of the ocean, and the feeling of the hot sand under your feet.
Launched in 2012, this floral fruity gourmand fragrance for women has the top notes of Bergamot, pink pepper, and lemon. The heart notes are made up of ylang-ylang, heliotrope, and coconut milk. The base notes are cedar, benzoin, and musk.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette
When people say that “Old is Gold,” they mean it when it comes to the evergreen Light Blue Eau de Toilette by the house of Dolce & Gabbana. Once upon a time, it used to be the best summer perfume for women, but it is still competing with zeal and vigor to stay on top.
This is a colorful, fresh, fruity, and floral fragrance that reflects the sensuality of the Mediterranean lifestyle. The combination of the Sicilian lemon and the fresh green apples, along with a spontaneous bluebell note, creates a scent profile that feels like the South Italian summer.
The Light Blue EDT smells confident, modern, summery, and always very feminine. The presence of Jasmine rose, and bamboo, further adds to the femininity of this perfume, making it a timeless classic for all the summer-loving women.
Launched in 2001, this floral fruity fragrance for women has the top notes of Sicilian lemon, green apple, cedar, and bluebell. The heart notes are made up of bamboo, Jasmine, and white rose. The base notes are amber, cedar, and musk.
These are my top 6 picks when it comes to choosing the best summer fragrances for women.
