SCMP Reporter

Summer calls for lighter scents, which lift your mood, or remind you of favourite holidays
Bobbi Brown Beach Fragrance (HK$460/50ml)
 Inhale and you'll feel like you're at the beach. Perfect for sun lovers, it is a breezy scent reminiscent of suntan lotion and Caribbean getaways. 
Tel: 2831 8474
 Marina de Bourbon Fleur De Lys Eau de Toilette (HK$308/30ml)
 This is at first too pungent - a ghastly blend of all the wrong  smells.  But when it sinks into the skin,  what lingers is sweet, zesty and invigorating. 
Tel: 2895 3302
Gres Cabotine Green Summer Eau de Toilette (HK$196/100ml)
 This takes everything in a summer's garden and mixes it to create a  spirit-lifting scent.  Mandarin, yuzu and pear are there,  with lotus and jasmine, and a hint of sweet freesia.  
Tel: 2895 3302 
Samba Fresh Woman Eau de Toilette (HK$168/100ml)
As if the packaging is not off-putting enough - yellow and gourd-shaped - the odour is like horribly pungent dishwasher detergent. It earns points for staying power,  but sadly doesn't smell any better as time passes.
Tel: 2895 3302
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Lavender Eau de Toilette (HK$225/50ml) 
 The original Arden green tea EDT was refreshingly original. Unfortunately the addition of lavender has made this scent medicinal, and curiously short-lived.
