Light and refreshing, that’s how summer should smell like! Nothing too bold or powerful. Try these fragrances that range from citrus, to floral, and even woody.

summer-scents-01.jpgMOSCHINO I LOVE LOVE
I love this citrus scent. It�s very young and playful. It does not last the whole day, though, so I usually carry it in my bag. 100 ml, P4150. 50 ml, P3150.

Available at Rustan’s, SM Department Store, Robinsons Department Store, The Landmark, and other leading department stores.

summer-scents-02.jpgANGEL SCHLESSER FEMME
“Fresh elegance in a bottle” is how I would describe this Spanish designer fragrance. I love the minimalist package, and it is perfect for the no-frills modern woman. The scent lasts a long time on the skin. 100 ml, P3450. 50 ml, P2650. 30 ml, P1750.

Available at Rustan’s Department Store.

NINA FRAGRANCES
Nina in Water Affair (green) and Nina in Sweet Sparkle (pink) are both sweet-scented. The former has a citrus note, while the latter is more floral. According to creator Nina Tan, Nina Fragrances are manufactured locally, but are made with Swiss perfume oils. They come in beautiful boxes, and with an affordable price, so they make perfect gifts! Nina Fragances, P375 each (Eau de Toilette, 70 ml bottle).

Available at GRAXIE, 2/F Archaeology, Power Plant Mall.

summer-scents-05b.jpgSATSUMA COLLECTION from The Body Shop
I am packing these to the beach! I first smelled Satsuma on a colleague during a meeting. It was as if someone had peeled an orange in the room. Satsuma, after all, is another name for Mandarin oranges, or �ponkan�. Satsuma collection comes in Shower Gel (P295), Body Lotion (P595), and Perfume Oil (P795). You can use one, or layer all for a longer lasting scent.

Available at The Body Shop outlets.

summer-scents-06.jpgMORGAN SWEET PARADISE
This fruity-floral scent is for the hip and trendy gal. It is sweet and feminine, but not overwhelming. Perfect for an evening date! 100 ml, P2950. 60 ml, P2150. 40 ml, P1600.

Available at Rustan�s, SM, Robinsons, The Landmark, Crossings, and Cinderella Department Stores

    fahrenheit by dior for men is definitely a head turner =)

  5. Missy Says:

    how do you pronounce eclat?=D

  6. AC Says:

    You can call Nina Tan at 09189371541. Her scents are really good and they last long. I’ve been buying her stuff since last year :)

  7. pia Says:

    Body Shop body washes increased prices. Satsuma is now priced at 395.

  8. rain Says:

  9. dianne Says:

    how much are paris hiltons pefumes?

  10. Tina Says:

    Hi peaches! :) Ayos lang if I email your friend kahit di niya ako kilala? Heehee :)

  11. Tina Says:

    BTW, I agree with karlyn, mabango nga ang Lanvin Eclat! Very refreshing ang scent, hindi masakit sa ulo. :)

    I also love D&G Light Blue.

  12. Ces Beltran Says:

    As a general rule, the French don’t pronounce the last consonant. So eclat is sais as ek-la.

  13. teeny Says:

    bought the nina in water affair, its very affordable and the scent is very pleasing to my body chemistry =)

  14. pEaches Says:

    Hi tina! go ahead, you e-mail her..even her bosses get stuff from her especially gucci and bvlgari..half priced..=)

    Hi dianne!Paris hilton scents’ are priced 1900..100ml..from my friend ha..i think they’re more or less 3k in malls..

  15. SummerCraze Says:

    Lanvin is a good brand! im crazy over burberry and RL perfumes too.

    Peaches: How much does bvlgari costs? I also have a friend that sells authentic perfumes from US but i think it’s still too pricey..

  16. alexandria Says:

    1. Bergamot by The Body Shop
    2. Gap Heaven
    3. Carriere by Gendarme ==>> a new discovery, it really smells fresh ‘n light

  17. missy Says:

    Thanks Ces for answering my question, kinda embarrassing if i ask for that perfume and my pronunciation is wrong lol…=D

  18. hazy Says:

    can somepone pls verify the email ad of scentsforless? i sent an email kanina pero it bounced back. thanks.

  19. Winkiedo Says:

    I usually buy from Adam’s or Criselda’s. It’s a lot cheaper to buy there than from the department stores.

  20. LiZ Says:

    i sent an email and it bounced back too.

  21. LiZ Says:

    hi teeny do you have an idea how much is the fahrenheit by dior for men in 100ml?

    and can anyone suggest great scents for men?

    or any idea what to give for my man’s birthday gift? thanks!!!

  22. Misty Says:

    hi liz, i would suggest Armani Code for Men and Chanel Allure Homme Sport for more sporty kind of man.

    my personal favorite for my husband is his all-time favorite Aqua Di Gio, Givenchy pour homme, and Issey Miyake.

    for woman i suggest bvlgari rose essentialle, dolce and gabbana the one, CK Euphoria Blossom, and Escada Sunset Heat for Woman. Have tried them all and works well with me plus their long lasting scent.

  23. teeny Says:

    hi misty I agree with aqua di gio and issy miyake very yummy!

    hi liz! I think the small farenheit in duty free is $36 more or less I think, my sister bought one for her boyfriend i think thats the price range…

    =)

  24. creamie Says:

    me too!!! i got both the nina in water affair and sweet sparkle!!! they really smell nice! i wear the water affair scent during the day while the sweet sparkle naman i use for saturday nights!! :) they also come in cute boxes :)

  25. mitz Says:

    i got the sweet sparkle with the cute pink box with stripes :) i like the nina scent of sweet sparkle more :)

  26. SummerCraze Says:

    For real peaches? Gee, huge savings huh. Can i ask for her contact numbers? Big thanks! Perfect gift for mother’s day.

    Guys, what scents do you suggest for moms?

  27. LiZ Says:

    misty, peaches and teeny..thanks..
    yeah, i agree.i xoxo heart issey miyake!

  28. fran Says:

    how much is the lanvin eclat? thanks. :)

  29. Misty Says:

    SummerCraze: may i suggest Elizabeth Arden: arden beauty for that sophisticated and sensible moms. Davidoff Echo Woman for that sweet, young and young-at-heart moms. D&G The One for glamorous yet playful moms.

    i got my mom the arden beauty and she loves the scent appropriate to her age. it’s not so intoxicating. got my self the davidoff echo woman which i like for its sweet scent of rose and suitable for my age as a young mom. then my husband got me d&g The One which i so looove for its glamorous scent that can make you serious in one hand and playful on the other hand.

    tried and tested, ‘ika nga. ;-D

  30. KARLYN Says:

    hi kenneth i got mine at 3500. sa malls mahal eh

  31. KARLYN Says:

    anong scent ng D&G the one?

  32. Misty Says:

    D&G The One smells sexy, sweet and oriental floral. It’s not so intoxicating or strong. It’s Eau de Parfume kaya it lasts longer than D&G Light Blue EDT. i got lots of comment when i passed by with question, what parfume are u wearing? just reply with “The One” and smile. ;-D

  33. SummerCraze Says:

    the one huh..Nice one misty! cge, will try that scent..=)

  34. michelle Says:

    last christmas I get Satsuma when I get it I luv the smell of it lyk I was some where at the beach … luv thing that body shop ….

  35. Sassy Says:

    Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb for summer! smells really like a bomb of fresh floral scent on you and last all day/night. Even after you take a bath!As for men Andidote by Victor & Rolf.

  36. Tina Says:

    Thanks peaches! Sige will inquire. :)

  37. marshmallows Says:

    i tried calling nina’s number, but it get a prompt message that it’s an invalid number. do you know any other number?

  38. lynn Says:

  39. SummerCraze Says:

    Peaches! thanks for the tip! i already got bvlgari and burberry..in their biggest bottles..=) can’t believe that i just got them for less than a price of 1 bottle in malls..next stop would be misty’s d&g the one..looking forward already..=)

  40. jenz Says:

    hI …

    survey lang po ano mas mabango D&G light blue or Moschino I LOVE LOVE?..

    Thanks..

    need feedback asap.

  41. SummerCraze Says:

    For me, light blue..All time fave..Kaya lang, one time I partied at a known gimmick place, halos magkakaamoy lahat ng gurls..parang 1 lang perfume ng lahat..yep, and that’ll be D&G light blue..

  42. Julie Says:

    I agree with karlyn…super bango talaga ng eclat by lanvin…that’s what i’ve been using for a year. til now, di pa rin ako nagsasawa!
    i also like D & G light blue, bvlgury omnia, elizabeth arden green tea, estee lauder pleasures and glamorous.

  43. diosa Says:

    D&G light blue is the best perfume for women accdng to mens survey!

  44. KARLYN Says:

    mabango rin yung dkny be delicious and clean from rustans.

  45. annie silverstone Says:

    i love babydoll by ysl. super sweet smelling!luv luv luv it!

  46. issah Says:

    Hi! Authentic talaga yung sa scents for less? Coz i bought sa ebay before sa iba tapos un mga greenhills type pala…kaya pala cheaper =(

  47. ish-mish Says:

    I love D&G light blue! Been using it for over a year. However, a lot of women are becoming fond of it kaya the smell is becoming so generic.

    If you’re the sporty type, try Adidas Moves for HER. Its light and citrusy, good for day use. And it smells great when you perspire!

    The Adidas Moves for HIM is also perfect for your guy!

  48. aweng Says:

    hi.. have any of you tried beyond paradise from estee lauder.. bango nya and pag-naging sweaty ka lalo mo syang naaamoy.. love it.. :)

  49. pEaches Says:

    Hi Issah!yepyep, 100% authentic..just like those which are being offered in malls..Bvlgaris are made from italy, guccis are from france, lacostes are from UK..bought them all=)definitely not the same as those in greenhills..some are made in CA, USA..just like Jessica McClintock (will buy that for my mom, this coming mom’s day..=>)

  50. pEaches Says:

    BTW issah, how much did you pay for the perfumes in ebay?they claimed that they were authentic?were’nt you able to get your money back?

  51. shawee Says:

    for scent for less - as in same po ba to w/ the stores? as in bottle & box?

  52. graceii Says:

    Hi! Just wanna ask if you would know how much is the Fahrenheit for men..for the 3.4 or 6.8 oz thanks so much!

  53. issah Says:

    Nope peaches wasn’t able to get my money back kasi unregistered na un user =(

  54. mel Says:

    ooh..i love moschino i love i love but the scent does not last long. :(

  55. Melanie Says:

    Hi! I’d like to know where I can buy Life by Esprit. I saw it in Cosmo Mag, and it costs more or less P500. I checked some Esprit Boutiques, but I can’t find their perfume line…Tnx in advance for the info! ;-)

  56. karlyn Says:

    melanie sa watsons madaming esprit. i bought the D and G “the one”.im kinda diasppointed with the scent… pang lola scent pala siya.

  57. melanie Says:

    tnx karlyn! I’ll check that out to know if the scent is good, if it does, good catch.Ü

  58. pEaches Says:

    Melanie:try also sm department stores..the scent is good but not quite lasting though..=)

    Karlyn:Try new Lacoste Touch of Spring..so light..so yummy..=) it was just launched last week I think..

  59. skye Says:

    Hi. I’m a big fan of D&G Light Blue and I’m disappointed na generic na siya. So I’m thinking of switching to Nina Ricci Apple. I saw it in Cosmo. What do you guys think bout the scent?

    Scentsforless, do you have this and how much?

  60. skye Says:

    Winkiedo, Adam’s and Criselda’s, yun ba yung sa mga tiangge like sa gold crest sa glorietta? Were the perfumes you bought authentic? I wanted to buy there kc cheaper, but I’m scared na baka may halo na, or something.

  61. skye Says:

    I will. Thanks! =)

  62. pEaches Says:

    is adam’s and criselda’s near avon or rusty lopez in glorietta?i dont wanna go back there..coz i was just asking if their perfumes are really authentic and I think the staff got pissed off and the look on her face!goodness!hello?!i was just asking politely and I just wanna make sure as well..but oh well, theirs are bit pricey though..i asked a certain brand of perfume and its only P200 cheaper compared to the mall price..

  63. katrina Says:

    know what, there used to be warehouse sales around makati… usually at paseo center… i’m waiting for it. bagsak presyo talaga… up to 70%… i bought a bottle of incanto charms for just how much. and then their burberry classic was just 1500, 100ml. too bad wala pang balita. does anyone know about these sales? last one was in feb… sana magkaron uli.

  64. katrina Says:

    saka yung bodega sales ng rustan’s!!! last year twice yun, bakit ngyon wala pa rin?!

  65. skye Says:

    peaches, iba yata yun kasi cheaper talaga yung napagtanungan ko. Like Pleasures for men, 100ml is around 2,500. I was referring to the stalls dun sa baba, inside Gold Crest, and yung stall in City Walk, near Timezone right after the one selling hair accessories. Glorietta pa din. I keep going there, and asking them but never bought pa. I don’t know if kilala na yung face ko, but they never made a face nor a comment or baka pagtalikod ko lang… hehe…

  66. pEaches Says:

    Haha!Funny ka skye!just make sure that theirs are really authentic if ever you’ll buy..sayang naman money if ever.. ;)

    what brands are you keep asking them btw?im trying to try another brands..

  67. alvin Says:

    DKNY be apple delicious is very good at night time and paris hilton’s just love me for women is so refreshing….and escada pacific paradise is just so perfect for our tropical island…Ü Wearing perfumes will really uplift your spirit!!!

  68. skye Says:

    Hi, peaches. Hehehe… Incanto Charms, D&G, Kenzo. They have Light Blue 30 ml for 1,500 lang, and I’m really getting tempted to try and see if their perfumes are authentic. I don’t know anyone who has bought there kasi, e. So I really don’t have any feed backs about their perfumes.

  69. pEaches Says:

    Skye..Yeah, its a bit scary to buy stuffs which are not guaranteed authentic..Haven’t heard any feedbacks from that store though..

  70. mai-mai Says:

    Try “Clean Ultimate” or other clean scents…available only at rustans essences….Promise you will really smell clean and fresh! Ranges from 3k++ to 4k++
