Jenna Fifi
‘When I smell Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, I could easily drift off to a dreamy dessert parlour. The notes remind me of a summer fruits pavlova, with layers of delectably sweet meringue, fluffy vanilla cream and vibrant, sharp berries.’
Em Sheldon of Emtalks
‘The sensual amber smell in Cartier La Panthère reminds me of a warm summery cocktail, perfect for those strolls as the sky starts to dim.’
Jemma Andrew-Adiamah of Celery & Cupcakes
‘The floral and fresh notes of Elie Saab Le Parfum remind me of the first days of spring, when I’m tempted to cook a roast spring lamb dinner for the family.’
Sarah Martorella of The Nutritious Princess
‘Ralph By Ralph Lauren is the epitome of summer in a bottle! The smell reminds me of a summer picnic, where I’m frolicking in a floral dress with a berry crisp in hand.’
Lucy Parissi of Supergolden Bakes
‘Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Forever reminds me of cucumber salad at first. But once the perfume dries on my skin, the cucumber scent disappears and is replaced by much fruitier notes. So, really, it smells like a cocktail – vodka with soda water and lychee juice, perfect for drinking outdoors on a warm spring evening.’
Tara Adlestone of Camera Eats First
‘Jimmy Choo Illicit reminds me of a fresh fruit salad of mango, pineapple and berries. It’s fresh and floral, and represents all things summery. During the summer I love wearing a refreshing perfume, and I’ve certainly found a winner this year.’
Farah Orths of The Gluten Free Addict
‘If Armani Si was magically transformed into food, it would become a strawberry and mint pavlova: a simple meringue base filled with Madagascan vanilla whipped cream and topped with fresh strawberries and a little fresh mint. The dish (just like the fragrance) is warm and floral, with a light freshness that saves it from being too sweet.’
