Lighten Up

Lighter fragrances for summer days.Considering the intense storms presently bombarding the east coast, April showers better bring some amazing May flowers. And by then, we should all have embraced our new lighter, flora and citrus-infused fragrances to match. I'm sure your signature "year 'round" perfume is great, but you don't want to clash with your surroundings. After all, Chanel N°5 is not exactly beachy. Brand new limited edition scent "Burberry Summer"—with a Hamptons-esque insignia in pink nautical rope—combines notes of mandarin, bergamot and grapefruit with water lilies, freesia and rose for a romantic, crisp fragrance that evokes warm days. Your guy will clean up nice with new "Gucci Pour Homme II," inspired by free-spiritedness with top notes of bergamot and violet. From Animalia—whose candles are so carefully crafted that they can only be considered a labor of love—"Light" combines grapefruit, mandarin and neroli in amber-colored blown glass to represent and encourage joy. That's heaven scent for entertaining on summer nights. Burberry: $47-$58, Gucci: $50-$65, Animalia: $70, Burberry: burberry.com and Sephora locations, Gucci: Saks Fifth Avenue Locations, Animalia: animalia-kingdom.com
