Hands up, who’s been counting down the days until their next holiday? If you just can’t wait to hop on a plane and feel the summer sun, or escape to your favourite city, we’ve put together the best nostalgic perfumes that will remind you of holiday, so you don’t have to wait!

A luxury beach vacation

Feel the warm sun as you walk along white sands and lapping waves with our favourite scents that remind us of a luxury beach vacation. Combining fresh bergamot and lemon with delicate jasmine and tuberose accords, Carolina Herrera Good Girl creates a mysteriously musky scent that transports you back to sea view sunsets.

Capture the holiday memories with a spritz of the latest member of the Sol de Janeiro family. Merging fruity notes of guava nectar with fresh florals of sunlit orchid and pink musk, the Cheirosa ‘48 perfume mist is simultaneously rich yet delicate, forming a comforting summer aroma that you will remember for a lifetime.

A tropical getaway

Surround yourself with palm trees and delve into shimmering oceans with our favourite perfumes that will remind you of a tropical getaway. Look back on your travels with Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess. The sensuous fragrance delivers a heavenly composition of bergamot, warm amber and vanilla combined with delicious creamy coconut, making it the perfect summer fragrance.

Another amazing tropical scent is Paco Rabanne Olympéa: with top notes of sparkling mandarin, water jasmine and fiery ginger lily are blended with a heart of salted vanilla to create an irresistible, seductive aroma that reminds you of a perfect day in front of the pool.

A summer city escape

Take yourself back to warm, late nights in your favourite European country with these scents that remind us of a summer city escape. Reminisce with Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium, featuring enticing and captivating notes of juicy pear accord and mandarin essence, before settling on a base of creamy vanilla and black coffee – a beautiful Italian night in a bottle.

Think back to luxurious evenings with Paco Rabanne Lady Million. Sitting on base notes of patchouli, honey and amber, the fragrance provides a warm sensual aroma to give you that summer feeling.
