The South African summer has been blazing. There may be a few items of clothing you might want to lose in this heat but one thing you can wear without hassle is your favourite fragrance. Here are our six summer scents for 2016.
MODERN MUSE LE ROUGE GLOSS
Last year, Estee Lauder gave us Modern Muse Le Rouge. This year, they introduce Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss – a perfume that opens with cherry and pink pepper notes and ends with vanilla and patchouli.
YELLOW DIAMOND
This girls’ best friend by Versace is a light, fresh scent. With orange blossom at the heart and a hint of musk once it has settled, Yellow Diamond shines as a summer perfume.
LA VIE EST BELLE
Life is indeed beautiful when your summers are spent in South Africa. From the Lacome house comes a fragrance so elegant even the neck of the bottle dons chiffon. This perfume features iris, patchouli and praline notes.
GOOD GIRL
One of the most distinct features about Carolina Herrera’s new perfume is the design of the bottle: a sky-high high heel. The next distinct feature is it’s cool but flirty scent. Jasmine is the most prominent ingredient with tonka beans mixed in.
RED VANILLA
From Zara’s night edition, this fragrance is fruity yet floral and fit for those summer nights. It prominently features vanilla, blackcurrant, pear, patchouli and more.
ROSE COUTURE
As the name suggests, the latest fragrance from Elie Saab prominently features rose petals. These complement the orange blossom and peonies and make the perfume ideal for the daytime.
