Most people would say no fragrance for the summer. But I disagree entirely. I love good smells way too much. 

Ghost Mojave from Byredo is really perfect — it’s so subtle, but really nice on the nose. It’s also really expensive, though, so prepare yourself accordingly. 

On the cheaper side, Glossier’s fragrance is pretty tried and true!

I really like By the Fireplace by Madison margiela, but it’s heavy for spring/summer. Typically I prefer Dior J’Adore and Clinique Happy.

It's basic AF, but Clinique Happy never steers me wrong. It's subtle, but still makes enough of an impact that you feel like you're wearing SOMETHING. 

If you're looking to treat yourself, I also really love Jo Malone's Cardamom and Mimosa. Feels spring-y to me!

I'm on the hunt for a new perfume and I'm hoping all you lovely Dippers can help me out. My long-time go-to for the warmer seasons has been Philosophy's Amazing Grace, for a frame of reference:

 but I need to add another one to the rotation.

I really prefer sandalwood-y, patchouli scents but those can be a better fit for the colder months, so I want to find something that's beach-y and NOT overly floral.

I tried Chloe, but was a bit too strong for my liking (

) so if you have any recommendations for a light, summer-friendly fragrance, let me hear 'em!
