At this time of the year sweet tropical florals abound as perfume houses seek to emulate holiday ideals of hot white sands and parasol cocktails.
Here at our niche perfume house way out in West Wales our ideal summer fragrances are a little closer to home and, in our humble opinion, just as idyllic:
Fragrant herbs crushed underfoot
Daybreak dew dampening the lawns
Earthy moss clinging to low branches
Refreshing notes of a bitter lemon squeezed into a glass of something cold.
These are our scents of summer.
