Summer's new perfumes were a medley of juicy florals and reimagined classics - but these 9 were our favourites

A collage featuring some of the best summer perfume launches, including scents from Diptyque, Chanel, Jo Malone, Maison Margiela and Byredo, overlaid on stock images of grapefruit, flowers and sage leaves (to demonstrate their notes), in a blue template with the words 'summer in notes'.

As a new season looms, and with it, a plethora of new fragrances waiting to be discovered, we're taking a look back at all of summer 2026's perfume launches - spanning revamped icons to ultra-splashy, sun-soaked scents made for holiday spritzing.

Aside from bringing a change in weather and wardrobe, each season also ushers in another wave of beauty launches - some intentionally on theme, others just new, trendy and improved formulas. This is especially true in the fragrance world, but with there already being so many chic, long-lasting fragrances to choose from and brands (both designer and budget) to keep track of, it's easy to miss the newcomers. Not on our watch, though. We've been fortunate enough to try many of them over the last few months, from Chanel's first Coco Mademoiselle launch in six years and limited-edition relaunches to Maison Margiela's latest sunset-inspired blend.
