Now that the heat is turning up it’s not only time to ditch those heavy moisturizers and matte foundations, but it’s also time to update your beauty arsenal with some lighter scents for summer. 

However, the departure of the warm, woodsy and spicy whiffs popular in winter doesn’t have to mean a complete vacation from sensuality. This season, perfumers have launched several scents that will prove light enough for those humid spring and summer nights, yet still evoke enough mystery and sex appeal to thrill the male masses.

Armani "Code" for Women

The new female version of the popular men’s fragrance that was launched last year boasts to unlock the “mysterious code of seduction” according to the luxe design house’s website. This perfume is a perfect example of how to blend the light and fresh notes of spring, while still maintaining a sensual and rich aroma that will turn male heads. Fresh ginger, orange flower and lavender honey are used to add feminine accents to a seductive base of sandalwood and sensual vanilla. 

True to the classic Armani tradition, an added aesthetic bonus is offered to women in the sleek, mysterious and sexy bottle that holds this aromatic pleasure.

Burberry "London"

Actress Rachel Weisz has lent her face to this new edition of the Burberry line. Marking the design house’s 150th anniversary, Burberry London hopes to capture the style and independence of its British namesake. Available in a bottle adourned with the company’s famous checked fabric, the flowery fragrance captures an air of regal sophistication with notes of jasmine, honeysuckle and famous English roses. 

But don’t let the elegant scents force you to classify this perfume as stuffy or conservative, for its underlying veil of musk, sandalwood and patchouli give it a sexy and modern twist sure to allure attention.
