17 summer-in-a-bottle fragrances for year-long holiday feels

Back in the city and find yourself craving for longer summery beach days and daydreaming of your next holiday?

When you’ve used up your annual leave balance and booking flights is not an option, a spritz of a summer fragrance may just be a quick hack for a travel-free escape.

Think: a sun-drenched blend of the fresh zestiness of bergamot, pink pepper and lemon, the warm cosiness of coconut milk, exotic garden of fruity florals, and notes of earthy, sandy cedarwood – offering the same warm, familiar feeling of summer bursting with optimism.
