Summer gives us the chance to escape the four walls we were imprisoned in during the frigid winter months, to enjoy the feel of the sun on our face, and the breeze moving lovingly through our hair.  Summer is a much needed time for rejuvenation and relaxation.

You might  find that your usual go-to fragrance is that of an oriental tone, which is perfect for you during the cooler winter months.  However, that same scent may be a little heavy and strong during the warmer months of the year. Summer is a time to turn to those fragrances that are light and remind you of lazy summer days.

Think of your perfumes as clothing—the winter ones are cozy and wrap you in warmth, whereas the summer scents are airy, light, and bright.  They are created more towards the vibes that work to lift your mood while at the same time offering a relaxing respite.

We have curated below a list of the top fifteen perfumes offered here on Scentbox that will more than set the mood for those lazy, hazy summer days to come.
