Date Published:
Fresh, flirty, and made to linger in the heat.
There is something inherently bright about a floral scent—a scent which reminds us all of sun-warmed skin, linen dresses, and feeling like the protagonist of your own summer novel. Although floral fragrances can be described as "pretty", they also tend to be bold and sensual, making them the perfect scent for the summer. Whether you're conjuring up sweet romantic roses, luscious cream lilacs, or unexpected spicy ginger and almond milk, we are sure you will find a unique floral scent to make you feel like sunshine. Here are 9 luxurious floral perfumes that feel like sunshine in a bottle.
1. Chopard Rose Malaki Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Spicy rose, oriental warmth
This is not your typical rose smell. Chopard's Rose Malaki takes the gentleness of rose and adds some spicy, woodsy touches to create something richer and opulent. Imagine a sultry rose garden at sunset – velvety, sensual, and far more powerful than you'd expect.
2. Issey Miyake A Drop D’Issey Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Lilac, almond milk, musk
Think of a light drop of dew on a lilac flower, blown up through a lens—that’s the feeling this fragrance conveys. It’s floral yet airy, powdery but fresh, creamy but not too sweet. The almond milk brings a soft warmness to this living summer spring.
3. Narciso Rodriguez Ambrée Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Amber, musk, exotic florals
Ambrée is warm, glowing and bright, for a woman who owns a room simply by entering. Ambrée has ylang-ylang and frangipani with a heart of musk and wraps you in glowing depth while adding that sensual touch of florals.
4. Azzaro Wanted Girl Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Ginger flower, dulce de leche, vetiver
Wanted Girl is sweet, spicy, and outrageously wild without any remorse. The fragrance opens with the fresh sparkle of a ginger flower, melts into creamy dulce de leche, and grounds on Haitian vetiver. The fragrance is a floral gourmand that evokes the spirit of a summer fling, offering a fun, slightly chaotic, and utterly attention-grabbing experience.
5. Diptyque Orphéon Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Juniper, jasmine, cedar, tonka bean
More intricate and enveloping than your average floral, Orphéon combines creamy jasmine with soft woods and powdery tonka. This fragrance is warm, nostalgic, and layered; think walking into a vintage jazz club, bathed in golden light. This is a floral for those who enjoy a dash of mystery with their stories.
6. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette
Scent profile: Wild berries, white violets, jasmine, sandalwood
Light, fun, and effortless, Daisy has been a crowd-pleaser with a purpose. It smells like a joyful day – picking flowers, laughing in the sun, feeling weightless. If summer has a youthful, breezy vibe for you, then this is it.
7. Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Tuberose, jasmine, Rangoon creeper
This is a dense white floral that feels heavy and overflowing. This scent is rich, but never overbearing. It combines familiar notes like tuberose and jasmine with the exotic Rangoon creeper for a scent that feels both classic and transporting--like you are walking through a blooming garden that exists only in the dreams.
8. Dior Miss Dior Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Rose bouquet, bergamot, rosewood, pink pepper
Loving and bubbly, the new Miss Dior is a bouquet of flowers at their peak. It starts with the brightness of bergamot and then dips into velvety roses dappled with a hint of spice. The end result is a perfume that feels like poetry—grand, layered, and wonderful.
9. Hermès Twilly d’Hermès Eau de Parfum
Scent profile: Ginger, tuberose, sandalwood
Twilly is playful, sharp, and unpredictable: it makes tuberose (often soft and creamy) into something bold and peppery with a shine of fresh ginger. It’s youthful but not childlike; it’s feminine without being fragile. It is the perfume for women who create their own rules.
