5 perfumes that capture the glow of summer

Summer is a feeling of soft morning light, sun-warmed lunches, and golden, lingering evenings. And the fragrance you wear? It becomes part of the memory.

That’s why we’ve selected five standout perfumes from Shop and Beyond that embody the season’s magic, from light and airy to warm and evocative.

This blog will introduce readers to perfumes that evoke the essence of summer, showcasing citrus bursts, tropical fruits, and creamy florals from Shop and Beyond’s collection, so one spritz can transport you to your favorite summery memory.

1. The Last Day of Summer

A true ode to sunny nostalgia, this floral-fruity fragrance combines peony, freesia, orange blossom, ripe melon, and pineapple, rounded out with sandalwood and musk for a soft, romantic finish. 

It’s perfect for those golden hour moments, last sips of iced tea, sandy toes, and fading sunsets.

2. Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford

Escape to Mediterranean beaches with dramatic brightness. This unisex favorite opens with bergamot and bitter orange, then unfolds into creamy ylang-ylang, pistachio, and coconut, resting on a base of white musk, amber, and tonka bean. 

It’s the essence of summer elegance, bright, exotic, and refined.

3. Paris Riviera by Chanel

Feel the breeze of the Côte d’Azur in every spritz. It layers magnolia, jasmine, orange blossom, and rose over a base of sandalwood and musk.

It’s fresh, elegant, and picture-perfect for a seaside escape and is ideal for brunch with friends or long daytime drives.

4. Pacific Chill by Louis Vuitton 

This fragrance smells like a summer breeze, with zesty citrus layered over marine notes and soft woods. 

It’s both uplifting and grounding, like that first breath of fresh air when you step outside. 

This scent goes well for rooftop mornings, slow Sunday drives, or anytime you crave a quiet reset.

5. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

Often called “the essence of a Mediterranean summer,” this iconic Eau de Toilette pairs Sicilian lemon, crisp apple, and cedarwood for a bright, clean finish. 

It’s a refreshing go-to, made for poolside afternoons, sunlit skin, and sparkling conversations by the sea.

Summer scent layering tip

Want your glow to last as long as your adventure? Use a matching body lotion or splash to layer your scent. 

Start with a scented moisturizer base, then add your perfume to pulse points. This will boost longevity and create a gorgeous, complex scent journey.
