This Beachy Ingredient Is the Secret to 2025's Most-Loved Summer Perfumes
When I think of my favorite summer memories, long beach days and the scent of salty, sun-kissed skin come to mind—and it seems the fragrance world has caught on. Sea salt notes are trending for summer 2025, lending an aquatic touch to beachy florals and woody musks. "Summer never gets old, and anything that makes us think of the ocean has the potential to bring joy," David Seth Moltz, perfumer and co-founder of D.S. & Durga, tells ELLE. While salt itself doesn't have a strong aroma, ozonic accords and musky notes like ambergris are often used to give perfumes a salty essence. "Oceanic notes make perfumes smell more realistic," adds Moltz. Just like how salt enhances flavor in food, salty notes can amplify a fragrance's profile, adding a savory, skin-like quality. From classics like Jo Malone's Wood Sage and Sea Salt to Glossier's buzzy You Fleur, I sniffed my way through dozens of sea salt perfumes—and tapped Moltz and ELLE editors—to determine which ones are truly worth the hype. Discover my edit below. Tropical florals and marine notes are a match made in fragrance heaven in this bestselling Ellis Brooklyn perfume. Ylang ylang and tiare flower blend with salty vegan ambergris to create a summery scent that's anything but basic. 'Salt Eau de Parfum is the first day of a beach vacation," Ellis Brooklyn founder Bee Shapiro previously told ELLE. "You wake up early on your own, there's no one on the beach yet, and there's still that morning freshness in the air. It's such a unique fragrance because it's not playing on any oceanside perfume stereotypes. It's this gorgeous, sophisticated take on how the ocean makes us feel.' Key notes: Ylang ylang, Tahitian tiare, ambergris Sizes: 0.34-3.4 oz. Want a subtle way to dip your toe into the sea salt perfume trend? The latest iteration of Glossier's cult-loved You is more summery than its predecessors, featuring sea salt accord and apricot skin atop musky ambrox base notes. Personally, I think it's even better than the original. 'This smells like sunshine and showering after a day in the ocean, without any of notes of sunscreen," adds Beauty Director Kathleen Hou. "It is a very soft fragrance that evokes the feeling of freshly laundered towels... It's very comforting and cozy and the quintessential girlhood scent—this generation's Marc Jacobs Daisy.' Key notes: Apricot skin, osmanthus, sea salt, cashmeran Sizes: 0.27-1.7 oz. Rose Atlantic is an ode to Moltz's favorite summer destination: the New England coast. As a New England native myself, I can confirm this perfume smells just like the region's fragrant seaside roses mixed with salty ocean air. It also boasts impressive longevity and sillage—you'll only need a few sprays for this modern rose scent to linger all day. Key notes: Lemon, rose, salt water, dune grass Sizes: 0.33-3.4 oz. On the hottest days, the last thing you want is a heavy fragrance. Enter this refreshing hair and body mist, lightly scented with honeysuckle, lily of the valley, and pink sea salt. It's designed to have an instant cooling effect—much like a welcome breeze. "This scent is heavenly," raves one Amazon reviewer. "It's light yet floral and sweet with the perfect balance of salt air, so you smell so fresh when wearing it! This one will be a staple for me." Key notes: Honeysuckle, muguet, pink sea salt Size: 3.4 oz. The original sea salt scent, Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt evokes crashing waves on rugged cliffs, blending earthy sage, sea salt, and musky ambrette. To me, it's the quintessential summer office fragrance: sophisticated and memorable, yet not overpowering. (Its eau de cologne formulation is less potent than an eau de parfum, making it ideal for those who prefer a more subtle fragrance.) I keep a bottle at my desk for a midday pick-me-up that won't give my coworkers a headache. Key notes: Ambrette seeds, sea salt, sage Sizes: o.3-3.4 oz. Looking for a gourmand perfume that won't turn cloying in the summer heat? Consider Liis's Choux Choux, inspired by the fluffy French pastry of the same name. This irresistible scent features a sea salt note drawn from fleur de sel caramel, balanced by citrus peel, sandalwood, and creamy, lactonic aromas. Key notes: Citrus peel, cream, fleur de sel caramel, sandalwood, vanilla Size: 1.7 oz. If you're a fan of aquatic, slightly soapy perfumes, Salt Air is worth a sniff. Combining driftwood, sea salt, cotton blossom, and water lily, it's a fresh-out-of-the-shower-skin scent that's as soothing as lapping waves. 'Every time I smell this fragrance, I feel like I should be driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible," says Beauty Editor Katie Berohn. "To me, this fragrance is Los Angeles in a bottle—vibrant, sexy, and a little unexpected.' Key notes: Sea salt, seaweed, water lily, cotton blossom, driftwood Sizes: 0.33-1.7 oz. Made to mimic the scent of perfumed skin after a dip in the ocean, La Mar blends creamy coconut, salt water, jasmine, gardenia, and tuberose. While I haven't had the chance to try it just yet, it seems like the kind of intoxicating fragrance you'd wear while lounging in a private cabana at a five-star resort in the Maldives. Bonus: Its quartz-capped bottle easily doubles as decor. "It's light and feminine, wearable enough for everyday and special enough for date night," notes one Bloomingdale's reviewer. Key notes: Jasmine, sea water, tuberose, gardenia, coconut Sizes: 1.3-2.5 oz. Salt-forward fragrances ooze sex appeal, since they often evoke the scent of lightly sweaty skin. Described as a "savory skin musk," Eauso Vert's Salvia Salvia smells like humid air after a tropical thunderstorm. "Salt and mineral accents along with Mexican herbs, like salvia and clary sage, make this scent stand out,' Hou adds. An earthy base of labdanum and ambermax give it depth and longevity, lingering well beyond the six-hour mark on my skin. It's complex but not overwhelming, making it ideal for year-round wear." Key notes: Mexican green lime, sea salt, sage, labdanum Size: 1.7 fl. oz. "Salted Muse smells fresh and a little earthy (in a good way), like that first whiff of ocean air you breathe in on a beach day," says Commerce Editor Sarah Maberry. "There's something a little brine-y about it that makes you want to go back for another smell." If your signature cocktail is a dirty martini, this fig and olive tree-infused scent is a must-try. Key notes: Sea salt, olive tree, cedar Sizes: 0.33-3.4 fl. oz. Like vanilla soft serve on a scorching afternoon, this fragrance mist is equal parts creamy and refreshing. At first spritz, it's pure nostalgic vanilla sugar, but it dries down to cozy sandalwood, keeping it from veering too saccharine. It also happens to be one of the longest-lasting body mists I've ever tested. I love how it transforms on my skin throughout the day—I can still catch whiffs of it well into the evening. Key notes: Vanilla, sea salt, sandalwood Size: 8 fl oz. After its collaboration with Chloe Sevigny, niche perfume brand Regime des Fleurs has stayed on my radar for its unique, evocative fragrances. Inspired by midnight beaches and bioluminescent surf, Nitesurf Neroli features a rare smoked seashell accord that makes it one of the most distinctive floral perfumes on the market. It's an ethereal scent I love reaching for on sultry summer nights. Key notes: Neroli, salty mist, citrus, smoked seashells, ambroxan Size: 2.5 oz. David Seth Moltz is a perfumer and co-founder of D.S. & Durga. Lauren Gruber is a seasoned commerce writer and editor with over four years of experience covering lifestyle topics, specializing in beauty and fragrance. For this roundup, she consulted a scent expert about the sea salt perfume trend and tapped her fellow editors for their recommendations. After conducting extensive research on the topic, she personally tested nearly every scent on this list to round up the 12 best sea salt perfumes.

Bottega Veneta Unveils the Orbit Flash: A Refined Take on Retro Sneakers
Name:Bottega Veneta Orbit Flash SneakerColorway:Black, Abyss/Ice/Egg Yolk, Sea Salt/BlackSKU:838373V3MS21000, 838373V3MS24290, 838373V3MS29166MSRP:$990 USDRelease Date:2025Where to Buy:Bottega Veneta Tapping into the ongoing resurgence of 70s-style runners,Bottega Venetaquietly unveiled theOrbit Flash— a sleek, minimalist update to its popular Orbit sneaker line. Released mid-summer 2025 via the brand's website, the Orbit Flash channels archival silhouettes through a modern lens, pairing retro sport aesthetics with premium craftsmanship. Where the original Orbit was chunky and futuristic, the Orbit Flash is noticeably flatter, sleeker, and more fluid, offering a stripped-back silhouette that speaks to the understated elegance Bottega has become known for. Visually, the pairs have an almost sculptural quality to it. The low-top profile feels deliberately softened, with a gently rounded toe that adds to its vintage athletic appeal. Rather than relying on oversized logos or loud color-blocking, the design finds its rhythm in sharp paneling and clean geometric trims. Each overlay appears precisely placed, wrapping around the foot in a way that feels both dynamic and sleek. It's a shoe that moves — visually and physically. Material-wise, the sneaker leans into contrast and texture without overcomplicating the silhouette. A lightweight nylon base forms the upper, wrapped in soft, caged suede overlays that add quiet dimension while maintaining a sleek profile. Inside, a plush lambskin lining enhances the experience with a smooth, second-skin feel, complemented by a leather insole engraved with their logo that speaks to the shoe's refined interior. Underfoot, the durable rubber outsole is subtly detailed with a pronounced tread at the heel — a functional design element that also features a tonal engraving of the Bottega Veneta logo. The color palette moves from grounded to expressive, with pairings that feel deliberate and fresh. A Sea Salt upper matched with Black or Caramel offers a clean, tonal option ideal for everyday styling, while bolder variations — like a striking sky blue rendition with a pop of egg yolk yellow at the tongue — inject a dose of playfulness into the otherwise restrained aesthetic. Regardless of colorway, the branding remains minimal, allowing the focus to stay on construction, materials, and silhouette. A quiet kind of luxury — one rooted in detail, not logos. Retailing for $990 USD and crafted in Italy, the Orbit Flash is a statement — a retro-inflected sneaker made for those who value form over flash, luxury without logos, and movement without noise. It's a quietly elevated addition to any outfit, effortlessly bridging casual ease with refined sophistication.

Fenty Hair The Rich One Moisture Repair Shampoo, £29, and Conditioner, £29 Despite being a loyal lover of all things Fenty for, well, forever, I've somehow never tried out Fenty Hair until now, and I'm delighted but not surprised to report that it is just as good as the brand's skincare and beauty Rich One shampoo is infused with replenicore-5's proteins, amino acids, and antioxidants that help to repair split ends and reduce breakage, and it also has a brilliant lather that deeply cleanses both your hair and scalp without feeling too the conditioner is just as effective, with it making my hair feel silky smooth as soon as I applied it before drying lusciously soft and products have a delicious, warm scent with notes of sparkling yuzu, amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and florals, ensuring that your hair will smell just as good as it looks after washing! Zelens Glacier Foam Renewing Cleanser, £56 As someone who runs hot, it's probably unsurprising that I'm also a reluctant member of the Oily T-Zone Club™, with my shiny forehead a particular bane of my life during the summer months. Thankfully, Zelens has really come through with its renewing and revitalizing combo cleanser and with the foam cleanser, which is a blend of succinic acid, mild fruit AHA, fermented enzymes, and botanicals that gently exfoliate your skin and clarify your pores without stripping away any of the essential properties that our skin actually needs to thrive. This cleanser genuinely did leave my skin looking clearer, smoother, and brighter, and using it alongside the serum definitely reduced how often I was reaching for my powder and blotting sheets throughout the day. In other words? A total game changer. Zelens Power B Revitalising & Clarifying Serum, £110 I know, I know, this is a pretty pricey serum, but I can not stress enough that I would never recommend anything — let alone anything at this price point — if I didn't think that it was genuinely worth it. And this Power B Revitalising and Clarifying Serum from Zelens genuinely is worth you're wondering about the science of it all, a super clever and high-potency Vitamin B combo (B3 niacinamide, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12) works to rein in excess oil buried in your skin and minimize pores, resulting in a much more balanced, clearer serum itself is also super lightweight, which is definitely a contributing factor to reducing shine in the summer, as nothing is worse than clogging your skin with heavy products when you're also sweating more throughout the addition to reducing shine, this serum left my skin feeling energized and clear, and improved redness. Oh, and FYI, Zelens advise that because of all of the active ingredients in this formula, the color of the product may vary over time — that's absolutely nothing to worry about, and the serum will remain as effective as always! Trinny London Take Back Time Elixir, £79 I've also fallen in love with this Take Back Time Elixir from Trinny London, which should be applied after serum to rejuvenate and transform tired product has been created with artichoke polyphenols, which are packed full of restorative properties that boost microcirculation and, in turn, deliver nutrients to the skin that enhance its overall vitality. A blend of pro-vitamin B5, trehalose, xylitol, and squalane works to deeply hydrate, repair, and strengthen the skin's barrier, and micro-infusion technology helps to deliver the ingredients deeper into your skin for a longer-lasting boost. Now that the science is out of the way, I can confirm that using this elixir left my skin noticeably smoother and more luminous, and it also felt much healthier, too. With continued use over time, the product will restore vitality and elasticity, leaving you looking younger and more energized. I also need to mention just how luxe and high-end the packaging for this product is, and it's worth pointing out that the £79 price tag includes an elixir refill — so it's basically a two-in-one. haruharu wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner, £16 Another skincare brand that I have discovered in recent weeks is haruharu wonder, a South Korean brand that is famous for its use of natural, fermented ingredients, specifically black rice. And if you're confused, I've got haruharu believe that fermentation enhances the strength of ingredients, making them easier for your skin to absorb. Black rice is particularly known for its antioxidant properties, which help with detoxing your skin, cell regneration, and slowing down the aging process by restoring elasticity and tightness. This toner is super lightweight and felt refreshing and hydrating on my skin, and it also works to prepare your skin so that all of the products you apply afterward are optimally absorbed — ensuring that you get the best out of your full routine. In short, there's a reason why everybody raves about Korean skincare! haruharu wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen SPF 50+, £17 I also really enjoyed haruharu wonder's Black Rice Sunscreen in SPF 50+, which is important all year round, but even more so in the summer. As with the toner, the fermented black rice helps the product really absorb into your skin for maximum SPF protection, and the addition of hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture and stop your skin from getting 'airyfit' is definitely a great word to describe this product, with the lightweight cream feeling velvety and smooth upon application, and my skin remaining soft and supple throughout the day. Trinny London Miracle Halo Illuminator, £32 One thing that I'm sure all oily-forehead people can relate to is explaining the difference between unwanted shine and much-wanted, illuminating glow, and Trinny London is here to highlight the difference in all its brand's new Miracle Halo Illuminator is one of the best products that I have added to my makeup routine in a long while, with the formula instantly lifting my skin with a healthy, dewy glow that landed me compliments on my complexion every single time I wore it. You can either use Miracle Halo on its own, or mix it in with your foundation or moisturizer for a natural-looking radiance. It is silky and weightless to apply, and didn't make my skin greasy or mottled and patchy, which I've definitely experienced with illuminators in the Halo can be used all over your face or just on the high points like a traditional highlighter, and is available in four gorgeous shades, with the honey gold hues of Sunlight my personal favorite to enhance my recent post-holiday tan! Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Instant Brightening + Blurring Powder, £27 And while I may have fallen in love with Fenty Hair this month, I am also remaining loyal to my fave: Fenty Beauty, which has released an incredible brightening and blurring undereye I've mentioned in the past, I've struggled with my undereyes since I was a teenager, and am always on a mission to find products that will reduce the dark circles and fine lines without becoming cakey, or nestling into the lines and making the whole situation 10x worse. I don't know how Fenty has pulled it off, but this formula is both sweat and humidity resistant, which minimizes creasing, and the airy, ultra-fine pressed powder blurs the undereye area beautifully without emphasizing texture. It also helps lock in the rest of your makeup for a smooth, flawless to say, I'm obsessed. This product comes in six skin-tone-matching shades and noticeably lifted my eyes with a natural, fresh look. Perfectil Biotherapy Body Oil, £18.95 Moving onto our bodies, and this Perfectil Biotherapy Body Oil is a dream come true for someone like me, who suffers from uneven skin tone and addition to being super nourishing and hydrating on my skin, this oil has been formulated to revitalize it from within with an expert blend of multiple potent natural oils and includes Rosehip Oil, which improves your skin's tone and texture, Avocado Oil for enhanced elasticity, Coconut Oil to lock in moisture, and Vitamins A and E to protect and repair your skin at a cellular oil targets scars and stretch marks, and is also perfect for rejuvenating dry and aging skin. It's pregnancy safe, and can be applied both during and after pregnancy to minimize stretch marks, if desired. Perfectil Biotherapy's Body Oil left my skin feeling soft and supple, but more importantly — in my opinion — it has already noticeably evened out my skin tone and reduced the appearance of years-old scars that I've been trying to combat for years. I'm so glad that I have discovered this product, and can't wait to see how my skin will continue to improve with regular use! Philip Kingsley Frizz-Fighting Gloss Smoothing Serum, £25 Philip Kingsley's new Frizz-Fighting Gloss Smoothing Serum is also something worth shouting about this month, with the product leaving my hair glossy, silky, and frizz-free, all while protecting it from heat damage up to 190° moisturizing formula worked instantly on my tresses without making them heavy or greasy, and I found that it really helped to get my unruly flyaways under control, if that wasn't enough, my hair looked shiny and healthy throughout the whole day without any need for reapplication. All around winning! T3 Airebrush Duo, £169.99 And speaking of hair, T3 Micro has come through with a whole bunch of luxury hair tools, and I am particularly obsessed with the Airebrush Duo.I'm going to admit it: I'm very boring when it comes to hair styling, and it's been me and my trusty GHDs against the world for more years than I care to remember. However, the Airebrush Duo made it so easy for me to switch up my look thanks to its changeable brushes that dry your hair as you style. Game. Changer. The paddle brush straightens your hair in minutes, and was a process that I was pretty familiar with, but what really surprised me was how easy the round brush was to use. Despite being a total novice, I managed to create voluminous waves with very little practice, and I can now achieve the perfect bounce in no time at all. As well as being super easy and effective to use, the Airebrush Duo — which is made for every hair type and texture — uses T3 IonFlow technology with 15 heat and speed combinations for personalized styling and controlled heat that leaves your hair frizz-free, and is ultimately less damaging. I honestly couldn't be more impressed with this product. It has genuinely taken away my fear of switching up my style, and it saves time by drying and styling all at once. You only need to rough-dry your hair to about 80%, and the Airebrush Duo finishes the job for also has an innovative cooling feature that you can apply after styling, which locks everything in place and left my hair looking glossy and healthy — with none of the static that can come with other heated styling tools! Primark Beauty's PS… Pro Fragrance Collection, from £6 Moving on, and Primark Beauty has released not one but five brand new fragrances in their PS… Pro Fragrance Collection, and they are all super affordable and super perfumes have been specifically created to enhance your presence with subtle and sophisticated notes, which is incredibly obvious when you see the scents that are available. There's Matcha Mood, which has the clean and calming scent of matcha tea, with florals and a hint of there's Soul Reflections, which I am actually a little bit obsessed with thanks to its sharp blackcurrant notes, which I think is such an underused scent in the world of perfume. It has been mixed with smoky tea and woody birch, resulting in a unique yet warming unisex fragrance that would smell absolutely delectable on Savanna Breeze mixes bergamot with marigold, violet, vetiver, and cedar wood for a fruity yet warm mix, and Nomad Oasis blends citrus, woods, and musk. Finally, there's Sandalwood, which is basically what it says on the tin; rich sandalwood mixed with clean musk and spicy five of these perfumes are distinct, classy, and smell way more expensive than their low-budget price tag, and I was delighted to find that the scent is long-lasting, too. PÄRLA Premium Toothpaste Collection, £9.95 each Meanwhile, PÄRLA has launched a brand new premium toothpaste collection, and I couldn't be more here for it. Personally, I've taken a much greater interest in my oral hygiene since getting Invisalign last year — after forking out all that money to get my teeth perfectly straight, I definitely want them to be healthy and protected while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing level of whiteness, new PÄRLA range comes in three science-led formulas: Pro Whitening, Enamel Protect, Bio Balance, and all three of them are plastic-free (the packaging is fully aluminum!) with no artificial sweeteners or SLS, and no added preservatives, making them as good for you as possible. And if you're wondering, yes, they do contain all-important fluoride!Each toothpaste has the same end goal of giving you a naturally white, brighter, and healthier smile, and I have to admit that they deliver. The aluminum packaging is also a great touch, making the product feel incredibly high-end as well as better for both you and the planet. My personal favorite is the whitening toothpaste, which does more than just whiten your teeth — it enhances enamel strength by up to 65%, and also reverses sugar and acid damage without making your teeth feel sensitive. I always use some kind of whitening toothpaste when brushing, and this one gave me a noticeable Hollywood smile pretty much instantly, with my mouth left feeling healthy and refreshed, you can probably imagine, Enamel Protect has been formulated with your teeth's enamel in mind, and if you're wondering about the Bio Balance formula, this is specially created with a unique blend of oral probiotics to promote fresh breath and support good bacteria in your microbiome, as well as looking after your teeth. Baylis & Harding Signature Collection Hand Wash, £2.25 In case you missed it, Baylis & Harding's iconic Signature Collection has had a bit of a makeover recently, with a modern new look, enhanced formulas, and even an expanded fragrance lineup — so what better time is there to remember just how fab these hand washes are?I personally love Baylis & Harding's hand washes because they are such an affordable way to elevate your bathroom sink, and are sure to impress when you have guests over thanks to their incredibly fragrant scents. The new packaging is also clean and contemporary, looking much chicer than the price tag might Signature range comes with seven classic scents as well as two limited editions, and I genuinely I love them all, but my top three would be Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit, which has a zesty, uplifting scent that lingers with every use, Black Pepper & Ginseng, which is smoky and has perhaps more masculine notes that I gravitate towards in the colder months, and Vetiver, Cedar & Lemongrass, which is beautifully earthy and citrusy — perfect for summer!In addition to cleansing your hands and smelling delicious, all of Baylis & Harding's hand washes are enriched with moisturizing natural oils and are suitable for sensitive skin. My Little Sudocrem Aloe Vera, £2.99 I'm going to level with you: My Little Sudacrem Aloe Vera is basically magic in a pot, and I've been sure to keep one in my handbag ever since it launched earlier this summer. Basically, it is all the goodness of regular Sudacrem, but with the added benefits of organic Aloe Vera extract, which works wonders when it comes to soothing and hydrating your skin. In addition to the aloe vera, the formula includes zinc oxide, which reduces redness and irritation, anhydrous hypoallergenic lanolin, which soothes and softens, and the gentle formula is non-comedogenic, which means that it doesn't clog can be used on dry and sensitive skin daily and reapplied as required, with the gentle product super effective at calming redness and irritation from things like sunburn, bug bites, and allergic reactions, while also forming a protective barrier to shield your skin from irritants and lock in moisture. This product recently came to my rescue after I applied an irritating lotion over skin that I hadn't realized was broken, which caused immediate, painful stinging. The Sudacrem was a godsend in providing instant relief, and like I said, I now don't go anywhere without having this little pot to hand! LookFantastic's Hair Volume Edit, £45 LookFantastic has seriously come through with their edits this month, and my personal favorite is the Hair Volume collection, which is worth over £150 but available to buy for just £45!The edit has been curated with boosting flat and lifeless hair in mind, and the seven products included certainly deliver. As someone who is on a constant hair growth journey, my standout products are the Grow Gorgeous Hair Growth Serum Intense, which works to improve the thickness and overall density of your locks, and Philip Kingsley Density Stimulating Scalp Mask, which absorbs excess oil from your scalp for weightless roots.I also love the OLAPLEX Volumizing Blow Dry Mist, which actively speeds up your hair drying time while protecting you from heat damage and delivering bounce and in the edit is a VIRTUE One for All 6-in-1 Styler Cream, Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt, Umberto Giannini Rosemary Scalp and Hair Oil, and Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Normal to Oily as an added bonus, all of the products come in an absolutely gorgeous cottagecore orange-striped makeup bag that I genuinely couldn't be more obsessed with, and am so excited to use on my future travels!While the Hair Volume Edit is definitely my first choice this month, LookFantastic has something for everyone, and you should check out the Hair Hydration Edit (worth over £140), Skin Renewal Edit (worth over £210), and Skin Clarifying Edit (worth over £200) to make sure that you're getting the best one for you!

Elsewhere, Kayali also has a popular ice cream take with their Yum Pistachio Gelato which retails at £79 for a 50ml bottle, reports the Manchester Evening News.

One comment read: "First note for me is of blackberry, then subtle musk. It makes for a lovely change to the usual summer scents you see which can be too floral. This is more of a sweet, red berry fragrance that I think you could very much personalize by layering. I think it's lovely and definitely keen to add to my collection!" Another added: "It's a lovely, soft, sweet and fruity scent that's very wearable this time of year. Definitely not overwhelmingly sweet so they've really got the balance right" Available for £25 per 10ml bottle, savvy shoppers can nab it through TopCashback for just £9.58 after new member signup bonus and cashback for new members or at an even lower price of £8.96 for those new to both TopCashback and Sephora.
