£115 from Jo Loves

£144 from Penhaligon's
shop nowThe first ever fragrances from Graff were released earlier this year, a set of six scents inspired by their famed Lesedi La Rona diamond and encased in bottles to resemble it. The Lesedi La Rona II has robust notes of wood and a hint of spice, balanced with sweet peonies and sweet vanilla. A great everyday fragrance to carry you from day to night.
€258 from Harrods
shop nowThis beautiful bottle is a limited edition fragrance from the Parisian perfume house in collaboration with digital floral artist Bas Meeuws, who added a modern twist to their classic design.
Eau Des Sens is lightly spiced with powdery floral notes to add complexity, but it's the zesty top notes of orange peel that really stand out and leave a whiff of citrus trailing behind you.
£98 from Diptyque Paris
shop nowFor a more robust and mature summer fragrance this is a lovely choice from Chantecaille. It has warm, woody notes woven with fresh herbaceous scents, most notably rosemary, giving it a rounded complexity that repeats beautifully on you throughout the day.
£158 from Harvey Nichols
shop nowWe do love a sea-inspired scent and this classic from Creed has us dreaming of far off seas. Fresh rather than sweet, there's a sharp burst of lime poised with a distinctive note of jasmine in the top notes. It's lively with subtle tertiary notes of coconut that will have you reminiscing of beach bars with a single spritz.
$415 from Creed
shop nowFor something elegant, this new launch from Carolina Herrera is a must. It's a beautiful discovery that's perfect for summer, due to the light, delicate blend of rose and white musk. It's lasting, enticing and presented in a beautiful fluted bottle.
