The Guardian
Smells that will always remind me of summer: cut grass, Hawaiian Tropic sun lotion, new flip-flops on hot pavement, warm dog's belly, Pimm's, sausages on a barbecue, Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino. The latter's blend of bergamot, orange flower, mandarin and amber instantly makes me want to bunk off work and sit in a beachside beer garden for the rest of the day.
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, £135,
Crisp, citrussy and sunny. Especially lovely on a summer's evening. The body oil is also gorgeous and a third of the price.
Jil Sander Sun, £22.99,
A nightmare to find, but smells exactly like warm skin smothered in sun oil, without the grease and mozzies.
Clarins Sunshine Fragrance, £30, clarins.co.uk
You know how your arm smells after a day in the sun? This is like a more potent version of that.
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent, £45, houseoffraser.co.uk
Somewhere between expensive suntan lotion, beach breeze and salty skin.
L'Occitane Thé Vert & Bigarade, £49,
Green tea and bitter orange. Like a Long Island iced tea for the nose. Delicious.
Body Shop Coconut Eau de Toilette, £8.50,
Nothing smells more summery. No fuss, no frills, just moist, creamy coconut.
