Beauty insiders and home‑fragrance experts name top summer scents

Sixteen beauty content creators and fragrance experts shared the single perfume they never travel without, citing fresh, tropical aromas such as Jones Road’s Shower, Floraïku’s Flying South, Maison Crivelli’s Hibiscus Mahaj, Le Labo’s Santal 33 and L’Artisan Parfumeur’s À Fleur de Pêche.

Separately, a home‑fragrance column highlighted tea‑based notes as the unexpected summer trend, recommending scented candles, diffusers and incense from brands including Diptyque, Byredo, Anthropologie, Loewe, Rituals and MUJI that evoke oolong, chai, Earl Grey and matcha.

Both pieces reflect a seasonal shift toward lighter, nature‑inspired scents for personal use and indoor spaces.
