12 Summer Fragrances with Plenty of Character

Summer gives me a good reason to look beyond the same few fresh fragrances. This collection brings together Rochas L’Homme, Mancera Sicily, Bentley Silverlake and Rasasi Hawas, alongside designer choices like Dylan Blue and Y Eau de Parfum Intense. There’s enough variety here to start with the bottles that interest you instead of treating every fresh fragrance as interchangeable.

Hawas is one place to start if fruity aquatics are your thing. I’ve linked the Hawas and Hawas Ice comparison for a closer look at those two directions. The Dylan Blue comparison is useful too, especially if you’re deciding which kind of everyday freshness your collection needs.
