Top 5 perfumes you’ll want to wear during summer

We can agree that summer is most associated with the scent of the sea, white flowers, citrus and other summer fruits. With the right perfume, we can further revive these scents or continue to use them throughout the year to take us back to those carefree and relaxed times. With the arrival of warmer days, we exchange heavy, oriental scents for those that carry watery notes and light woody bases. The team from Mémoire perfumery helped us choose scents that perfectly accompany summer days, warm nights and everything in between.

Virtue, Chaos

Vertus Chaos is a long-awaited novelty in Mémoire perfumery that combines the freshness of citrus with spices and darker, woody notes, creating a contrast that is not typically “summer”, but that's exactly what makes it special. It is a strong, persistent and distinctly masculine perfume. Already at the first application, a dose of energy is felt, and the scent remains present for hours, regardless of summer temperatures. Ideal for evening outings and special occasions.

Sarah Baker, Atlanta

A salty-fresh scent that instantly transports the senses to the seashore. Atlante combines authentic elements of seaweed, wet rocks, salt and driftwood with citrus yuzu and delicate flowers of lily of the valley and iris. The result is a “fragrant postcard of the sea” :

“Refreshing for the summer heat, yet complex and elegant for an evening walk along the beach.” - Kristijan Berić

It will especially appeal to men who love classic perfumes, but want something refreshing and more special than the usual mainstream summer scents.

Zaharoff, Seraphim Order

Seraphim Red is a perfume created for summer nights. Sophisticated, masculine and with a character that attracts attention. It opens with a fresh wave of pink pepper, eucalyptus and cypress, with a touch of sea salt and seaweed that bring a feeling of coastal freshness. The heart of this perfume develops delicate tones of orange blossom and ylang-ylang, while the base of sandalwood, vetiver, amber and white musk provides warmth and longevity.

This fragrance perfectly combines freshness and depth, making it an ideal choice for evening outings, romantic moments, or summer events when you want to make an impression.

Eau d'Italie, Acqua Decima

Acqua Decima is “Mediterranean summer in a bottle” ; fresh, energetic and unpretentious. Citruses such as lemon and mandarin dominate, along with mint and tea that give the impression of a summer breeze. Light woody notes in the base ensure weightless persistence, making it ideal for sultry days and relaxed evenings. It is the perfect choice for men who want to smell clean, refined and unobtrusive, while leaving the impression of Mediterranean freshness.

Le Galion, Eau Folle

Eau Folle is a true classic with a modern twist, perfect for summer days when you're looking for a scent that exudes energy and freshness. It opens with vibrant citrus notes of lemon and bitter orange, with aromatic nuances of lavender and green leaves that remind you of a walk along the Mediterranean coast. A dry, clean base with light musk and woody notes ensures weightless persistence, so the scent remains fresh and pleasant even in high temperatures.

It can be worn from morning to evening and is ideal for a day on a boat, a coffee in the shade of pine trees or a spontaneous evening out. This is a fragrance for men looking for discreet freshness in the summer, which is why it is a common choice for both business occasions and relaxed moments outdoors.

In the summer, it's important to choose perfumes that are lighter, fresher, and airier, as high temperatures can intensify the intensity of the scent. Summer scents often rely on citrus, aquatic, and green notes that are refreshing and energizing, but also remain pleasant throughout the day.

The right summer perfume doesn't have to be just a gentle companion, but can carry character and style, adapting to the dynamic rhythm of hot days and warm evenings. That's why investing in a quality, light and long-lasting summer fragrance is the key to feeling fresh and confident throughout the season.
