As the temperature soars and the sun beats down upon us, there is one thing that we all want, to smell fresh and pleasant while we combat the sweltering heat that surrounds us. It’s an art form really—finding that perfect scent that captivates you without being overwhelming, that lingers gently in the air without making the people around us gasp for breath. In a season where heavy, cloying perfumes threaten to suffocate, it becomes imperative to seek out fragrances that are as light and refreshing as a cool breeze on a sultry afternoon. Here are 9 best fragrances for summer that promise to envelope you in a unique olfactory bubble on the sunny days and balmy nights of summer.
Summer Scents

Now put that into a bottle and you have Rio Radiance.
