Kayali Maui In A Bottle Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Sweet banana, coconut cream, jasmine.
Take an end of summer vacation to sparkling beaches and swoon-worthy mountains of Maui without hopping on a plane. This sweet solar floral fragrance washes over you with the sun-drenched warmth you’d feel while laying beachside there. The unexpectedly unique scent is nothing like we’ve tried before; it features fruity notes of banana and pear mixed with coconut cream, jasmine and vanilla.
Lake & Skye 11.11 Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Sea salt, star apple, vanilla crème, marshmallow, amber, and skin-scent musk.
We like to think of this scent as the fragrance equivalent of a cool girl wearing a cozy cashmere sweater while sipping on an iced vanilla latte on a dewy summer morning. The vanilla-tinged skin scent is the latest addition to the brand’s cult-loved 11.11 line and has swiftly become one of our favorites. It takes everything we love about the original and blends it with the most delicious notes of vanilla and marshmallow to give it this lightly fluffy flair that makes it creamy without the heaviness of other vanilla scents.
Le Monde Gourmand Angel Soirée
Key Notes: Lychee, apricot, strawberry, pink marshmallow, Turkish pink rose, and whipped marshmallow.
#ScentTok darling Caroline Stern teamed up with fragrance brand Le Monde Gourmand to create a dreamy fruity pink juice that you’ll instantly fall in love with—especially for late summer. The fluffy fragrance is made up of many magical notes, but the star of the perfume is a juicy note of lychee, saccharine note of pink marshmallow, and feminine note of pink rose. Its vibrant fruit-laddeny yet lightly floral aroma smells utterly divine and the rose isn’t too overwhelming making it a perfect almost-fall scent.
Key Notes: Pink pepper, jasmine, musk, vanilla blossom, and cedarwood.
Take a moment for yourself with Goodhabit’s scent that inspires calm and peaceful vibes. We love this one for end of summer because it promotes all the relaxation with its cozy notes of
Cardamom and vanilla plus spicy pink pepper and lush jasmine. If you’ve needed something to bring your senses to a serene state this one is like wrapping them in a plush blanket while reading a romance novel at the park.
Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Pear, orange blossom, Akigalawood, and Ambrofix.
On the other hand, this luxe, sparkling scent will give your sense a much-needed jolt after a long relaxing summer. With bright, zestful notes of ginger, bergamot, and mandarin you’ll be instantly awakened. There’s also musk and amber at the base for a woodsy dry down. What’s even better? This unisex scent smells good in both warm and cool weather, which is greatly appreciated during the unpredictable temps between August and mid-October.
