Find your warm weather scent.
It goes without saying that lavender is one of the most easily recognizable aromas. And for many, the whimsical aroma overwhelms the senses with the most refreshing feeling of calm and inner peace.
Because of lavender’s mood-enhancing effect, it makes all the sense in the world that the violet-hued flower would scent airy homes, cozy bedrooms, and even relaxing spas. Though especially when present in perfumes and fragrance mists alike, lavender can add a truly romantic floral vibe to any composition, and even beautifully complements those breezy, sea salt laden, coastal-inspired aromas with ease. Hello, mermaidcore.
Typically in full bloom come late June and early July, lavender is no doubt the perfect scent of warm summertime — and perhaps the most underrated note to watch, too, given that classic roses, timeless jasmine flowers, and even playful honeysuckle scents reign on.
