15 Fragrances To End Late Summer On A Fruity, Sexy, Sticky Note<\/h1>\n

The last few weeks of August always bring about the same discourse: Is it actually<\/em> the end of summer, or really just the end of the blazing-hot months we\u2019ve endured since Memorial Day? Summer technically isn\u2019t over until Sep. 21, so until then, we\u2019re riding the high of our favorite olfactory season. This isn\u2019t the end of summer, it\u2019s the dog days, when temperatures might dip into hoodie<\/a> weather at night and early-fall purchases<\/a> might happen, but rest assured: It still smells like summer to us.<\/p>\n

The scents we reach for at this time of year have a nostalgic back-to-school quality to them (read: the mall spritzes we reached for in high school) while still delivering on fruity, sexy notes that play well with day and night plans. These fragrances are meant to linger, mix with sweat and the smell of a bonfire, and stay adhered to your favorite light jacket or over-shirt you\u2019re starting to mix into your outfit equations. Below, we\u2019ve rounded up our favorite summer hits that have strong replay value for early September outings and still feel like a Zara Larsson song<\/a> personified.<\/p>\n

The Paradoxe we know and love got a fruity, milky update for summer as endorsed by Zendaya<\/a>. Expect a strong, lasting scent that won\u2019t give up after just a few hours, and with the surprising addition of orange blossom, it hits multiple notes that intrigue with every new application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The best bang for your pleasantly smelling buck this summer is Gap\u2019s<\/a> new perfume line, which hits on every note and personality you could want.

Our favorite seductive nighttime scent got a summery update with the help of a striking strawberry note. The unexpected fruitiness pairs so well with the coffee-forward fragrance we know and love, and makes it a 24-hour option. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Smells like every summer that\u2019s ever happened in the best way possible. See also: like a warm hug after being on the beach all day, in that moment before getting home while in the car with loved ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We didn\u2019t really understand how \u201ccreamy\u201d worked as a scent note until we sniffed this and felt the enveloping, warm notes of creamy chantilly mixed with orange blossom. The sandalwood roots it all in a familiar feeling, but let the top notes take you away to a late-summer English countryside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Gaultier fragrance bottles are works of art in their own right, but if that isn\u2019t enough, the newest edition of their Divine scent gets a striking raspberry gourmand update that feels like a daily decadence. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Named after the infamous Sunset Strip hang, this fragrance\u2019s notes read like something that wouldn\u2019t add up to a crisp, fruity moment, but let the dozen or more individual ingredients carry you away to the sweet summertime of \u201870s Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We didn\u2019t not<\/em> choose this scent because it\u2019s the same name as this year\u2019s excellent Kim Petras<\/a> album, but it also captures that late-August feeling of cruising with the windows down and letting the scents of any beach locale flow in. The florals strike, the fruit lingers, and the musk grounds it all in that sweaty, clingy aura we crave at this exact time of year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Just when you think you have this one figured out, she surprises and delights with musky mezcal and seductive passionfruit. It\u2019s fruity, bodacious, and smells like a late night turning into an early morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you squeezed a Nobu lychee martini into a bottle, it would smell like this. It has lotus-like qualities of enchanment and seduction, so buyer beware.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
