Mediterranean and tropical landscapes inspire summer's most refreshing fragrances

Notes of orange, lemon and mandarin dominate the feminine and masculine creations, adding a sparkling and revitalising touch at the top. Floral notes, usually found in the heart, include jasmine, orange blossom and ylang-ylang, which bring elegance and freshness, while the base notes of the perfumes are cedarwood, sandalwood and musk, which provide warmth and depth.
The bottle designs are very attractive, with simple lines and vibrant colours that create a complete sensory experience. And here's an interesting fact: there is an increasing proportion of sustainable ingredients in new fragrances, a way of connecting with nature through perfume.
