Along with the beach days and trips to the Hamptons, this summer saw many a new fragrance launch. And since there’s still more than a month of summer officially left—and, here in Miami, at least two to three more months after that—spritz on these scents, ranging from citrus to floral, to keep Miami’s longest season going strong.
Flower Power
If fragrant blooms are your signature scent, look to Cartier for a feminine floral scent with a hint of lily. Baiser Vole Eau de Toilette, which means stolen kiss and launched this summer, bottles the aroma of the blooming lily and a hint of powder for a perfume that is as pure as summer.
Find it at Cartier in the Miami Design District, 151 N.E. 40th St., Miami; 305.864.8793.
Freshly Picked
If you prefer fruity to floral, opt for the latest from Hermès. Eau de Mandarine Ambree brings the zest of citrus for a fresh, flirty, invigorating and energizing perfume. Notes of green mandarin harmonize with passion fruit, leaving amber topping off the scent.
Find it at Hermès in the Miami Design District, 175 N.E. 40th St., Miami; 305.868.0118
I Want Candy
If you’re looking for a sweet summer escape, Prada’s Candy L’eau is a zesty and indulgent blend of citrus and caramel. This perfect just dessert is a less intense version than the original Prada Candy Eau de Parfum. Still long lasting, the scent comes across as lighter, making it perfect for the fresh-air days of summer. Go ahead, indulge—it’s calorie free.
Find it at Prada in the Miami Design District, 180 N.E. 40th St., Miami; 305.438.2280.
For Him
Even he needs something a little lighter for the warm months of summer. Dior Homme 2013 offering captures the scent of summer with a hint of masculinity and a touch of vacation-esque undertones. Think iced fresh citrus fruit, a hint of musk and just a touch of cotton. One whiff evokes thoughts of driving with the top down along the edge of a rocky coast.
Find it at Dior Homme in the Miami Design District, 161 N.E. 40th St., Miami; 305-571-3576.
Whichever scent you choose, spritz a little here, there and everywhere.
