Sweet summer perfume suggestions
Hey ladies! Im not that into perfumes, and never were, i have a few ones of course, but after seeing your collections i felt mine is tiny
I hardly like any perfume now for some reasons. And i wanna pick myself a new one, so i decided to ask for your professional help! Some years ago btw, i bought a present for my Mom, and they gave me a bottle of perfume as a present, it was cheap one, but i loved it! Of course, i dont remember the name at all.
So far i have: Givenchy Organza, Glow in the Darl by J Lo., Cinema YSL, Opium YSL.
I want something very "summer", very hot, very "seaside", very sweet. Cant pick myself anything!
And oh, i liked my Sunset Heat by Escada, and then i decided to get Rockin Rio (yes, i admit i just loved the name), so as it was a LE long time ago, the one i got was fake i guess.. and i didnt like the smell at all.
Can you please suggest me something? Thaaanks

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
Cartier Delices Eau Fruitee is very sweet and summery, although not too seaside. It's expensive, but totally worth it. I have both the original Cartier Delices and the Fruitee versions. Vera Wang Princess (and I believe there's a new version out, as well) is also summery and sweet and not as expensive as the Cartier.

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
Its worth going into a Sephora to look or looking on their site for top picks for fragrance...ask customer service and they'll send a sample!
When you do find your new favorite, Amazon sells at lower prices with certain fragrances with no tax and free shipping! But it's secure and reliable if Amazon is the seller and not "beautiful perfumes" or "cosmeticmall"...click on "seller, see more" and scope out "Amazon".
Amazon still carries Escada fragrances you can't find elsewhere, along with other discontinued brands or hard to find ones.
Nautica has a fragrance that seems summery, I think it's Nautica Voyage...
If you go into a store, I would spray a few tissues, take them home and see whick one appeals~! I find they work better than a card or spraying yourself...also take a small bag of coffee beans to rejuvenate your sense of smell! Hope you find the fragrance(s) you love!!

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
I didnt like moon sparkle to be honest :/
Thanks a lot ladies you are so helpful! I should definitely try those ones.. I cant order on Amazon from here, and i tried some perfumes at Sephora, but didnt like much. That lady helped me out, but perfumes she showed werent that impressive :/ She did great, thats just me being too picky i believe.
I want miami glow sooooo much, however, its sold out cause its a LE and i cant get it anywhere now aswell.
I thought that if you just give me names here, i would sample all of them, cause when i get to sephora and start trying different stuff i get lost after 4th-5th perfume.
Thanks!

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
i just found a local website, they have miami glow still!!! wohoo! im so ordering it! plus a new sunset heat bottle, loved it! i also think about getting paco rabanne black xs, but that will be next time after i'll have more money 
wohooo miami glow, come to mama!
Update: sweet swett swett, today my escada and miami glow arrived! Looove them! That websita carried them still, and they were super fast.. now im thinking about collecting all escada line... Girls, can you help me out which of them are sweet? Sunset heat rocks, though Rockin Rio was not that cool to me. How about tropical paradise and island kiss?

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
You said you want "summer" "hot" and "seaside"... have your tried Michael Kors Island? If you like marine notes, this one has them. It's very fresh and fruity with tropical flowers that are supposed to be "rich humid florals"...
... or Bobbi Brown's Beach? It smells like suntan lotion and it may not be sweet enough for you but it's cheerful in a summery kind of way.

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
I like the Michael Kors Island scents, especially Island Capri. I know it's not as marine-y, but I'm loving Dream Angels Desire for the summer...
If you can get your hands on any, BUY IBIZA HIPPIE. It is the best, by far, of any of the Escada LE scents that I have smelled (no Sexy Graffiti, and no Tropical Punch-those go for an arm and a leg).

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
The new Tommy Hilfiger Dreaming smells really nice and summery...without smelling cheap. It smells really sweet and has a hint of peach.
The original Ralph by Ralph Lauren is my all time favorite though. I've gone through at least 7 bottles of the stuff since high school. Sounds bad, but thats only like a bottle a year!

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
Thanks ladies! I sampled Michael Kors Island Capri, but didnt like it much, it didnt seem sweet enough. I'm totally lovin my new J.Lo Miami Glow, and those bottles are so cute - like a bottle with a genie inside. My Mom says J Lo parfums smell cheap tho :/
I ordered Miami glow (lovin it) and another one of sunset heat i ran out of. That website still carries the LE, so as i will get more money, i will get ibiza hippie, and also i wanna get Black XS by Paco Rabanne, and Ralph by Ralph Lauren (thank you TDoll, i've heard so much good about it!). Also i decided to get escada moon sparkle.. And i want Victoria's secret Isle of Pink..
Specktra makes me a junkie, i used to have 3 bottles of perfume and think i have a lot!

Re: Sweet summer perfume suggestions
L de Lolita Lempicka is great. It's not aquatic, per se, but it has a 'salty' note in it that is very pleasant and a bit beachy.
