Dolce Gabbana Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino

Natalie's pick:

For years my summer fragrance was Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue.  I was pleasantly surprised to try, and love, their newest offering; Light Blue Dreaming In Portofino because if I can't BE lounging on the Italian Riviera with the rich and famous, I can now close my eyes and be taken there...

Sarah's pick:

One of my favourite sights in spring is a blooming magnolia tree, so it's no surprise that I fell in love with Acqua di Parma's fragrance Magnolia Nobile, inspired by the scent of the magnolia trees growing around Lake Como in Italy (doesn't that sound divine?) Neither too sweet and flowery, nor too earthy and musky, this is my everyday all-the-time signature scent.

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia

Lindsey's pick:

Before I got married, a friend recommended choosing a 'wedding fragrance'.  Since we had a fall wedding, I thought Jo Malone's English Pear & Freesia was appropriate, as the scent was inspired by a walk in an orchard with its notes of pear, freesia, amber, patchouli and woods.  Now each time I wear it, I am transported back to that special day (cheesy I know!)

Olivia's pick:

Anyone that's had a girl's night at my place can attest to my ever expanding perfume collection. I catch my girlfriends spritzing and sampling all the time! Saying this, I will have to pick my favourite one of the moment because there are just too many to love. Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Toit has been my go-to all summer. It is such an unexpected fragrance full of fresh florals and herbs. Great for day and night - or lounging on a rooftop in Paris.

Bobbi Brown Beach eau de parfum

Kate's pick:

My husband bought Beach from Bobbi Brown for me and I love it. It instantly takes me back to endless summers as a kid and also reminds me of being on the beach with my own kids. 

Allison's pick:

My new favourite fragrance is hands down Chanel Sycomore! As soon as you smell it, you immediately picture a log cabin…. a really well-decorated log cabin! It has a rich, woody scent that resembles dry cedar, and although this all sounds very wintery, it feels just as fresh on a cool summer day. The bottle also happens to be gorgeous as well!

Burberry Classic Perfume

Tara's pick:

The classic Burberry for Women is my absolute fave! It lasts all day, and only gets better the longer it's on.  Its warm amber scent with a hint of vanilla, is elegant and perfect for the cooler fall days headed our way.
