The Best Warm Weather Scents

Yves Saint Laurent Supreme Bouquet Eau de Parfum Spray

This one's pricey, we know. But they're not kidding when they say its supreme. Tuberose, jasmine and "animal scents," along with musk create a fragrance they claim is an invitation to serenity. We think it's an invite for something a little more exciting...

$250 at Saks Fifth Avenue
Maison Martin Margiela 'Replica' Lazy Sunday Morning

Love the name. Love the smell. Love everything about this perfume. Pear, lily of the valley, rose and orange flower have us thinking of the best lazy Sundays we've ever had.

$125 at Sephora
Fresh Fresh Life

As a brand, Fresh never disappoints. This is no exception. If you're looking for something light, airy and clean, this is it. With notes of cucumber, moss and vanilla grass, it's kind of like walking through one of those fields from Little House on the Prairie.

$22-$88 at Sephora
Chloe See by Chloe Eau Fraiche

This fragrance is meant to evoke a walk through Paris. Enough said.

$58-$98 at Sephora
Burberry Brit Rhythm for Her

I'm not sure I've ever sniffed a Burberry scent I didn't love. This one evokes a sexy, feminine rock 'n' roll vibe. It's a night out fragrance for sure.

$53-$80 at Sephora
Gucci Flora

The name is a dead giveaway. But the fact that it's from Gucci means this scent is anything but a prissy mix of flowers. Sensual and intense are the words they use. Think pink peppercorns, mandarin and peony.

$103 at Gucci
Carven L'eau de Toilette

Sweet pea, white hyacinth, jasmine and white sandalwood add up to something exotic and bold.

$79-$104 at Saks Fifth Avenue
Bottega Veneta 'Essence Aromatique' Fragrance

Sandalwood, coriander and vanilla make for a spicy yet sweet scent indeed. Hm, sort of like you, right?

$90-$180 at Nordstrom
Balenciaga Rosabotanica

This one includes "experimental rose." While we're not sure if that's actually a flower, it's definitely intriguing, just like this scent. Fig leaf and amber make it fresh and sexy at the same time.

$25-$130 at Sephora
Calvin Klein Endless Euphoria Eau de Parfum

This bottle alone is enough to make me want to own it. Bamboo, violet, cherry blossom and mandarin ensure this is a pretty and cheeky scent.

$69 at Macy's
