Nothing quite says Summer quite like Marc Jacobs collection, namely the ultra-floral, fashionable feminine classic – ‘Daisy’ perfume. Smells quite literally like a daisy field with a touch of elevated opulence; a firm favourite since its launch back in 2007. And the iconic bottle is a beauty table ornament in itself. Sunny, charming and a Magee’s favourite! The fragrance is irresistibly fresh due to the infusion of succulent wild berries and soft white violets. At the heart, velvety jasmine accords enhances the vibrancy of the florals. Sandalwood add an air of warmth and sensuality, creating a subtle and romantic contrast within this dreamy Summer fragrance. Shop a whole host of Marc Jacob’s fragrance collection, at great prices with Magees.
Another fashionable choice for Summer comes from DKNY and their delectable Be Delicious Fresh Blossom perfume, this is bursting with fruity feminine vibes, and is a cult classic for its hit of freshness, so crisp and distinctive while remaining subtle. The Be Delicious range has become a real signature scent, and one that women come back to again and again each year at the turn of the season. This is a fresh floral fruity radiant feminine fragrance with sweet, sharp and citrus accents, this light and airy scent marries freshness, vibrancy and femininity. A delicate scent reminiscent of a dewy crisp fresh afternoon walking through a garden of cherry blossoms – cherry blossoms are fleeting but this scent makes a long-lasting impact! Compact little apple shape perfect for handbags and gym-bags.
I don’t think there is a perfume fan alive who hasn’t encountered Lancome La Vie Est Belle, we can certainly vouch for its popularity here in Magees! If you wanted to try something in that scent family, Lancome La Vie Est Belle L’Eclat is a floral feminine yet fresh delight and part of the much loved La Vie Est Belle dynasty. The fragrance is a radiant composition of natural ingredients, at the heart is the effervescent accord of the orange flower, featuring delicate hints of iris, which gives the scent its elegance, while the precious hues of jasmine brings sophistication and femininity to the scent. A zesty twist on an original classic!
Looking for something for yourself or a younger scent-fan in your life? Fancy picking up a gift set for that extra value and giftable coolness? Again, for Summer you can not go wrong with Lacoste for women, and their Touch of Pink gift set includes a perfume and a body lotion, for budget pampering! It is an intriguingly fresh, fruity-floral feminine fragrance, aimed at the younger woman. The sweet, vibrant scent of blood orange creates a lively opening which flows seamlessly into a classic floral heart of jasmine and is soothed by the gentle, lingering scent of soft woods and vanilla in the base. This energetic and playful scent set exudes a genuine and spontaneous zest for life, one for the girl always on the run!
We couldn’t have a Summer scent round-up without including the iconic floral scent loved by so many – Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. This signature scent is quite literally a floral scent explosion; more deep and woody than our previous floral Summer faves but an absolute treat. An explosive bouquet comprising of bold floral sensations and addictive notes. This evocative scent will immediately awaken your deepest senses. Featuring harmonious sparkling notes of tea and bergamot, middle notes of sambac jasmine, catleya orchid, freesia and centifolia rose and a woody base note of patchouli. A distinctive, beautiful and elegant scent.
