Now that summer is upon us, it’s nice to smell according to season, writes beauty columnist Rebecca O’Neill. As women, we all have our staple perfumes that we simply can’t live without.

Branching out to other scents is another great way to keep giving your perfume collection some variety. I have researched the top 5 best summer perfumes that I personally have tried and love. This is to help you find the best quality scents this summer. These products are all available in your local pharmacy.

Clarins Des Jardins
This scent is my personal favourite because it is so fresh and elegant. It is such a crisp fragrance with essential oils that also help hydrate and tone your skin. This is one of my staple perfumes in my collection and I don’t think I will ever get sick of it. This 100ml perfume is so affordable only ranging from €35 to €40. This product is a dupe for a lot of the leading designer scents which showcases how reasonable this product is price wise. This products shows the elegance of the Clarins brand and is such a treat to have.
