Forget florals - we'll all be wearing perfumes that smell like suncream this summer

A collage of perfumes that smell like suncream, from brands including PHLUR, Floral Street, Issey Miyake and Maison Margiela/ in a sunny template with two stock images of suncream swatches.

For many of us, the scent of summer can be defined as the smell of suncream slathered over warm and salty, ocean-sprayed skin. These nine fragrances capture that radiant, beachy aroma perfectly and are ideal on hot, sticky days when you just want to smell like the sun, not an obvious perfume.

After all, when summer rolls around, it's only natural that we want to adjust our beauty arsenal slightly. Whether that's by swapping our full-coverage formulas for lighter foundations with SPF, and our best long-lasting perfumes for those that better reflect the balmy weather. Fruity perfumes are, of course, a classic choice, but for us, our most precious summer memories tend to be accompanied by that creamy, often coconutty, waft of sunscreen.
