Summer in a Bottle
Blogged under Health & Beauty by Katherine Tanney on Monday 16 June 2008

When you think of summer, what associations come to mind? The smell of chlorinated water? The sweetness of cantaloupe? The sound of cicadas? We visited Sephora to have jean-paul-gaultier-classique.jpga look at the variety of fragrances created with the season in mind and chose to feature only those that include the word “summer” in their names. Jean Paul Gaultier’s Classique Summer (3.3 ounces, $60) comes in a pink bottle shaped like a woman (pictured) and promises a “zesty citrus floral scent” marked by notes of rose, jasmine, and fresh musk. Issey Miyake’s water-inspired L’eau d’Issey Summer (3.3 ounces, $60) is a bouquet of lotus, freesia, cyclamen, rose water, peonies and other florals. Its effect is described as “relaxing, dreamy, sparkling.” Burberry Summer (1.7 ounces, $47) is a limited-edition summer version of Classic, its signature scent. Combining crisp fruits such as green apple, delicate flowers like the water lily, and cool mossy woods, the scent aims to be refreshing and sensual. Calvin Klein has two fragrances tied to the season. CK One Summer (3.4 ounces, $42) is the only scent we found intended for both men and women. It touts a “zingy freshness that mellows into a lush waterfall accord” (whatever that is). It certainly sounds delicious, with its notes of watermelon, cucumber and blonde woods. Eternity Summer is Calvin Klein’s new limited-edition fragrance that “opens with fresh top notes” and softens into a soft, spicy, musky scent (3.4 ounces, $52). Flower By Kenzo Summer (1.7 ounces, $52) mixes the tang of ginger with the headiness of litchi and zest of mandarin. Intention: to be striking, fresh and flirty. Last but not least is Givenchy’s Very Irresistible Summer Cocktail (2.5 ounces, $52), a seasonal version of the designer’s rose-infused scent, made cooler by the addition of star anise and mint leaves. All of these fragrances come in versions pour homme (for men).
