2009 Summer Fragrances for Women

The cold months have ceased. It's time to retire your winter clothing because summer has come. The beach beckons and the sun will be all bright and sunny in the coming days. The perfumista in you should not forget to switch your eau de parfum with eau de toilette fragrances. Heavy perfumes are definitely out.

Every summer, perfumeries come up with summer-inspired scents. Most of these are replica of the originals. And of course, there are the all-season light fragrances available all year round. Summer or not, these scents are up for grabs in your favorite beauty stores or discount perfume sellers online.

So what makes a perfect summer perfume? First, it has to be light; nothing offensive to the nose and neither cloyingly sweet nor overpowering.  Second, it has to be citrusy or aquatic inspired as these notes tell us that summer is indeed here.  And third, it has to have the properties that allow it to blend well with the intense heat of summer. It doesn't leave a sour trail because the scent, light as a feather, will dissipate into the air. Needless to say, you’ll still smell great despite the sweltering heat.

There are a multitude of summer fragrances for women available today. Some fragrance houses such as Calvin Klein release limited edition summer-inspired scents each year.  Other designer labels like YSL, Dolce&Gabbana and Burberry have their own summer perfume collection as well.Here are some of the all-time favorite summer fragrances from top designer labels.

Eternity Summer
This year's version of Eternity Summer is amazingly different from the original. It’s grassy with hints of crisp green apples that bring out an attractive mouthwatering freshness. It’s one of those scents that help you relax. It’s clean, crisp, fruity-floral with nuances of spice. 

Burberry Summer
Burberry Summer is summer in England in a bottle. It’s soft, innocent and lightly sweet.  Expect fruits and flowers drenched in sparkling water. It is refreshing and truly feminine.
