Wish you could bottle up the scent of hazy summer afternoons and sun-warmed skin? Solar perfumes do just that, taking inspiration from the sun's golden rays to offer a radiantly warm and nostalgic scent.
As far as the best long-lasting perfumes go, the lineup consists of all the classic olfactory families: floral, woody, aromatic and so on, but right now, there's another, honorary fragrance genre that's garnering attention. Along with milk perfumes and more niche banana blends, 'solar' perfumes are proving very popular this year. The reason? Well, the name is a dead giveaway, as these solar-inspired blends look to evoke the feeling of being bathed in sunlight with every spritz. Think perfumes that smell like suncream, as well as slightly salty, aquatic scents and delicately warm florals.
