Summer fragrances focus on being light and fresh, and this summer there are some luscious scents that are just waiting to be sprayed. Indulge your senses with one of these gorgeous summer fragrances …

Clinique Happy Heart

The bright citrus orange that adorns Cliniques Happy Heart fragrance simply cries summer, a perfect reflection of the dewy floral fragrance. This is a fresh floral scent, perfect for every day wear. The limited edition take on Clinique Happy is garden-fresh and crisp, thanks to the waterside flowers and frozen fruit elements. Team it with a pretty floral dress and you will stroll around exuding summer 2011! Happy Heart is a refined and charming blend of frozen fruits, yellow plum and white freesia; in fact it is the delightful bottle that makes this a summer essential item.

Clarins Eau des Jardins

Taking its inspiration from the country garden, Eau des Jardins is an invigorating floral blend of ten inspiring essential oils- from a juicy citrus cocktail of grapefruit, orange and lemon to the prosperous woody scents of wild rose and patchouli. While lovely aromas are one thing, ever since Clarins launched its Eau line in 1987, providing the skin with a healing treat has been of the main importance. Indeed, Eau des Jardins contains a high concentration of organic bud extracts, chosen for their skin hydrating and radiance-boosting properties. After a spray of this, your mood will definitely be raised!

With subtle tones of coconut milk, Sicilian bergamot and a hint of jasmine, the limited edition Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess range has returned to raise our spirits. Not only is the bottle reminiscent of dazzling beaches and sparkling blue seas, the scent itself makes me want to head to Barbados! It is a scent that perks me up if I’m feeling weary in the morning and seems to set me in a happy mood for the rest of the day. It is very well blended and the mix of exotic flowers, coconut and citrus is seamless.
