Fragrance Is My Specialist Subject—These New Perfumes Will Be Future Icons

Key notes: Papaya nectar, apricot, sugared tangelo, peach blossom, coconut orchid and cedarwood.

First up, we have to talk about this Phlur body mist. The cool-girl approved fragrance brand has been bringing out an array of summer scents this year, but the newest launch is easily my favourite body mist of the entire season.

This sweet, soft, creamy fragrance features notes of papaya nectar, apricot and sugared tangelo, and one spritz reminds me of days spent abroad, picking up fresh fruit from the local market and biting into it on the beach before washing my hands in the sun-soaked sea.

It has this beautifully sweet, almost sugary element to it, but this is balanced by citrusy notes and warming cedarwood.

Key notes: Blackcurrant leaf, grapefruit oil, daphne accord, rose essence, moss and cedarwood.

Created in collaboration with Highgrove Gardens, British perfume house Penhaligon's has created the ultimate scent to embody the scenic gardens which surround the home of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. As you can imagine, this is an incredibly sophisticated floral scent that pays tribute to the daphne flower, known to blossom in the very garden that inspired the fragrance.

Beauty director Shannon Lawlor is a huge fan of this one. "Daphne Bouquet is, without question, the most sublime floral perfume launch that has come across my desk in many months (if not years). One spray first thing in the morning has me wafting the aroma of blossom with every step I take all day. It smells inexplicably fresh and happy, but it lingers on the skin in a way that makes it very clear that it's a scent worth a lot of money," she says.

Key notes: Bergamot, cedarwood, clove, cardamom, Tahitian monoi, jasmine and patchouli.

If you're looking for a holiday fragrance, look no further, as Bella Hadid's perfume line Orebella has just launched in the UK, and Blooming Fire is a warm, solar scent that gives me all of the vacation vibes.

It has a tropical feel with a slight hint of sun cream that takes me back to days spent on the beach with a pina colada in hand. That being said, the interesting thing about this scent is that it's quite complex, and once it settles on the skin, you are met with a base of jasmine and patchouli, which adds this rich, decadent, luxurious element that is totally unexpected.

Key notes: Lemon, bergamot, myrtle, juniper, jasmine and rose.

Who What Wear UK editors are currently loving Acqua Di Parma fragrances, and the newest bottle addition to the Blu Mediterraneo lineup is not to be missed. Designed to capture the spirit of a carefree Italian summer, Mirto Di Panarea is incredibly fresh and lively, thanks to zesty notes of lemon and Calabrian bergamot. And now there is this limited-edition, summery bottle design—it's basically a work of art.

"Mirto Di Panarea has long been one of my favourite summer scents. It has a sherbety, cirtus zing, but combined with velvety white florals, it becomes a creamy concoction of sunshine on the skin. And this limited-edition bottle? It plants a smile on my face every morning," says Shannon.

Key notes: Wild strawberry, whipped cream and vanilla.

If gourmand perfumes are your thing, you need to know about the latest launch from Juliette Has a Gun. With notes of wild strawberries and whipped cream, this scent has a smooth, creamy, sweet aroma that smells almost good enough to eat.

Spritzing this on the skin is like watching strawberry sauce being poured over the most perfect Mr. Whippy you've ever seen. With Wimbledon coming up, now is the perfect time to give this fragrance a go.

Key notes: Bergamot, green tea and marshmallow.

Kilian Paris has had some standout fragrance launches this summer (Sunkissed Goddess is a personal favourite of mine), but this month I can't get enough of Princess Eau Fraiche.

A playful iteration of the brand's Princess perfume, this scent features light, refreshing notes that make it a joy to wear in the warmer months. Zesty bergamot mingles with powdery marshmallow, and whenever I spritz it, I think of those fizzy, lemon sherbet sweets that I used to buy from the corner shop after school.

Key notes: Sandalwood, clary sage and fig leaf.

Whenever Glossier releases a new scent, I am always intrigued to see whether I will like it as much as the brand's original You fragrance (arguably one of the best Glossier perfumes). While that particular scent will always be a mainstay in my collection, the brand's new Sandstone Hair & Body Spritz is a gorgeous addition to my perfume wardrobe for the summer months.

A far cry from my usual gourmand scents, this fragrance is fresh and herbaceous, with notes of clary sage and fig leaf adding to the green, earthy aroma. To me, it feels incredibly calming and has a spa-like quality that I can't get enough of.
