Here are the top summer scents for 2025 — curated for sultry evenings, golden hour escapes, and luxury lovers alike.

La Bougie Salted Lime & Ambergris – The Hidden Gem for Breezy Interiors
If you love a home fragrance that feels like a coastal getaway, this Irish-crafted candle is your go-to. Salted Lime & Ambergris blends sharp citrusy yuzu with the oceanic depth of ambergris, creating a scent that’s both refreshing and quietly luxurious. Not a new launch, but definitely a must-light for summer interiors or terrace dinners.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense – Wildflower Energy in a Bottle
New for 2025, this bold reinvention of the classic Daisy fragrance taps into your free-spirited, nature-loving side. With banana blossom, jasmine, and amber, Daisy Wild Eau So Intense offers a rich, radiant trail that lingers long after the sun goes down. It’s playful, powerful, and made for women who love their perfume to say something.

Coach Gold Parfum – Sunset Glow in a Bottle
Inspired by Coach’s iconic “C” hardware, this fragrance is everything golden hour dreams are made of. With pink peppercorn, almond blossom, and warm vanilla, Coach Gold is opulent, inviting, and perfectly giftable. It launches in July at The Perfume Shop — and will no doubt be one of the season’s most snapped-up scents.

Dolce & Gabbana K & Q Parfum – A Scented Love Story
Two fragrances, one magnetic connection. K by Dolce & Gabbana seduces with caramelised fig and sandalwood, offering warmth, spice, and confidence in every spritz. Meanwhile, Q leans into sweet candied cherry and bourbon vanilla — elegant and seductive in equal measure. Both bottles, with their regal crown caps, embody Italian glamour and make stunning additions to any fragrance wardrobe.
