This classic scent is, without question, the best summer perfume ever made—and I'll never be without it

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Flora Verde.

When it comes to the best perfumes (and most specifically, the best summer perfumes), I'd like to think I know a thing or two. You see, I've been working as a beauty journalist for years and have amassed quite the collection of fragrances. And as it so happens, some of my favourite perfumes out there are sun-drenched, solar scents that make me feel like I'm on holiday. 

In fact, I'd say 70% of my excessive collection (seriously, I have well over 100 bottles) is made up of creamy citruses, coconut perfumes and tropical floral perfumes that are reminiscent of lounging on the sand, under the midday day sun, slathered in sun cream. And while there are heaps of perfumes out there that fit this brief, there is one that really stands out as the best—Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess.
