Date night is on the horizon. You know where you're going (painfully trendy wine bar) and what time you need to be there. You've even got an outfit sorted and steamed. You're good to go, right? Well, almost. You also need to sort out a fragrance , which might just be the key to bagging a second date.
A scent has magical powers. Certain ingredients have an alluring pull that will have whoever you're meeting desperate to smell —I mean see—you again. So, below are the light and bright scents that we'd suggest splashing on for a date this summer.
1) Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette
A classic! Terre d'Hermès was released in 2006 and intended to connect man with nature. It's such a great scent—citrus, but not too heavy—that it will connect you on a deeper level with whoever you're with, too.
2) D.S. & Durga Italian Citrus
With zesty top notes of pressed lemon, chinotto, and blood orange, D.S. & Durga Italian Citrus is a fresh and vibrant scent that instantly lifts your and your date's spirits. The sort of introduction you want to be making on a date.
3) Burberry Hero Eau de Toilette
On a date, you don't want to wear anything too strong, and this year-rounder works well on a stroll in the park. A trio of cedarwood oils (from the Atlas Mountains, Himalayas, and Virginia) gives it heart. Juniper and black pepper give it spice, and a bright hit of bergamot make it a fresh and clean scent. It all combines into a scent that that won't distract from the real matter at hand: a second date.
4) Maison Margiela Replica on a Date Eau de Toilette
As the name suggests, this summery scent is ideal "On A Date." This floral fusion comprises a flirtatious blend of pink pepper, patchouli, and musk notes, which are intended to arouse the senses.
5) Tom Ford Santal Blush Eau de Parfum
A hero in Tom Ford's summer scents range, Santal Blush is made using exotic spices, ylang-ylang, warm cinnamon, and sumptuous woods. It's sensual, warming, and will linger.
6) Malin + Goetz Dark Rum Eau de Parfum
Malin + Goetz's best scent is made using a summery rum, which is then mixed with ripe plum, rich milk, and crisp bergamot to make it smell even nicer. This will definitely be getting whoever you're dating running back.
7) Chanel Platinum Égoïste Eau de Toilette
An eau de toilette with a fougère-vert accord, Chanel's luxe-smelling Platinum Égoïste intends to evoke a strong personality and confidence, which is exactly what you need on a first date.
