My favorite summer perfume used to be Jardin en Mediterranee by Hermes but now it's the new Eau Absolue by Mona di Orio
ReplyDeleteMy favorite perfume for summer is Monyette Paris. That creamy musky gardenia makes me feel like I'm on the beach like I should be, and not on the computer like I usually am, lol.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have been wanting to smell Pomelos for a long, long time! Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteMy current summer favorites are Kai and Child. But I also love Monyette Paris and Coquette Tropique. :-)
Great giveaway! And the answer is easy: Malle's Lys Mediterranee, hands down.

ReplyDeleteThank you and the sponsor for hosting this giveaway! My favorite summer perfumes are St. Barth Lea and Bulgari Eau de Jasmin. My e.mail is mlle(dot)veuve(dot) clicquot [at] gmail (dot)com.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer scent is vintage Ô de Lancôme EdT. I'd love to sniff Pomelos, because a really good grapefruit fragrance is a holy grail for me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer scents are Kai and Jour d'Hermes! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
ReplyDeletei loove light scents such as Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne in the summer (I live in southern CA and our summers are super hot)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer scent is old, but maybe becoming classic: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. I like the cedar vs citrusness of it.
ReplyDeleteYou are so cool to host this giveaway. I just found your blog.
I 'liked' Micallef on facebook (where I am Margot Core and connected to an entirely different email: annazed10 [at] yahoo [dot] com); and I made a request to join your group too.
I love pomelos, so this could be something special.

ReplyDeleteMy current summer favorite is Orange Sanguine by Atelier Colognes.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently rocking Serge's Gris Clair with a little Tabac Blond and a drop of Kenzo Jungle Elephant on the side. Love your blog; consult it regularly. Thanks so much for this give away.

Thank you for the give away! I love Goutal's Rose Splendide for summer. Just the right amount of green to counteract the heat.
ReplyDeleteThis was, all right, the early 1990s, before I knew better. My summer fragrance was Eternity for Men, by C. Klein.
ReplyDeleteMy summer fragrance this year? Not sure yet. For my birthday in mid-July, I might buy myself a bottle of Mandy Aftel's Tres Vert. Or a C. B. I Hate Perfume, like In The Library or 1968.
Tomorrow, however, is a family function, a memorial service with a reunion luncheon immediately after. I am going to wear Jicky or VentVert. I need the moral fiber they give me. I might change my mind, and wear Tom Ford's Violet Blonde.
Happy Summer to all!
Lawrence in Ohio.
My favorite summer perfume is Silver Mountain Water by Creed. It is so refreshing to wear. Ferris Egoiste
ReplyDeleteFavorite summer fragrence is Eau Imperiale by Guerlain!
ReplyDeleteI am still looking for my favorite summer fragrance. Have a bottle of Aqua Florentina from Creed that I am currently wearing.
ReplyDeleteJo Malone's Vanilla & Anise is my Spring refresher.....until the humidity of Summer sets in. Then I'll sport Abdul Kareem Egyptian Musk.
ReplyDeleteAngela C.
Diorella has been a long time favorite of mine. More recently I've fallen for Geranium pour monsieur. Also Niki de Saint Phalle...based on past summer memories.
ReplyDeleteOn a hot summer day/ night it has to be Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior!
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite for summer is Chamade.
ReplyDeleteThank you for give away!
:)
Thanks you for this give away! I am pregnant and my sense of smell is so heightened that my previous favorites are not the same. I am devouring all these responses in an attempt to find a new summer favorite that may align with my new sense of smell. [email protected]
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer fragrance is Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. Thanks for the draw!
ReplyDeleteIt's a tossup between Miller Harris L'Air de Rien and Nicolai Vie du Chateau. The former is my hippie boho scent for wearing with maxidresses and sandals. The latter is my weekend in the country scent. Hmmm...can't wait for summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! And the little bottle and pouch is adorable! My favorite summer fragrances are Eau de Rochas and O de Lancôme . Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm still looking for a favorite summer scent. So far, L'artisan Seville a L'aube is leading the pack, but I haven't tested it in real heat yet. I'd love to try the sample - Spiker
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer scent is Dolce and Gabana Light Blue.
ReplyDelete~ Karla
Thanks for the giveaway
Super to see so many responses, Micallef Pomelos is lovely. 26 comments, 26 different fragrances. This summer Pomelos certainly to be a fav.
ReplyDeleteLast summer my favorite was Trish McAvoy's Blackberry and Vanilla Musk. This year, it is Eau de Tommi Sooni II, Bombay Bling and Coromandel!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! My favorite summer perfume might be a new-to-me one: Like This by L'etat Libre d'Orange. Not exactly summery to most but suits me. I also like Bois de Paradis and, um, White Linen.
ReplyDeleteMine is Creed Virgin Island Water, though L'Occitane Green Tea and Jasmine comes a close 2nd. I've never tried Pomelos, have heard great things!
ReplyDeleteMy summer fav is Green, Green, Green and Green.
ReplyDeleteChristian Dior Escale A Portofino was my go-to last summer, along with Jo Malone Verbenas de Provence which has sadly been discontinued. Excited to try something new this summer! Thanks so much for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favoite for summer is Hermes Eau des Mervielles! Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteAnita
Great giveaway! Thank you, Gaia. This is SujaanNY (at) gmail (dot) com. I happily liked the Micallef fb page. This year I'm wearing Eau de Tommi Sooni II, Spadaro Doux Amour, and loving my Slumberhouse sample set.
ReplyDeleteI'm easy to please.....Chanel 19.
ReplyDeleteMy go to in the summer is Gin Fizz. I love the citrus and that it was created the same year that I was.
ReplyDeleteMy go to for summer is Gin Fizz. I love the citrus and that it was created the same year I was!
ReplyDeleteCoco - seems I always go back to Coco?
ReplyDeleteMy new favorite summer scent is Blossom by Robert Piguet. I have a sample but I can't wait to get my hands on a bottle!
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite for this summer seems to be Songe, would love to try the Pomelos, thanks for the draw!
ReplyDeleteI meant Songes of course, duh me :))
DeleteMy favorite perfume this summer is Jour D'Hermes by Hermes. A close second would be 1932 by Chanel.
ReplyDeleteI love grapefruit for summer, so this is an amazing give-away. My favorite summer scent right now is Jo Malone Grapefruit. I am now following Micallef on fb.
ReplyDeleteHello. I enjoy wearing Kai in the summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
Paige Alexander
Right now I am loving Iris Oriental (Iris Taizo) but my favorite summer scent of all time is frangipani by Ormonde Jayne. I keep on returning to this every time the sun appears.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give away!
It hasn't been too hot here yet but I have been enjoying SMN Gaggia. I think, though, that lifetime fave is good old 4711.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the US - thanks for the draw!
I like Chanel #5, for summer-- and every season. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJosie Ramos, [email protected]
Thanks for the chance, I love Micallef scents!
ReplyDeleteMy fav. summer scents are DSH Celadon A Velvet Green, PDR Amoureuse, Amaranthine and many others... :)
In the US, dear.
I just love kenzo flower in the summer. Been rocking it for years now.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying everyone's posts! I am impressed by the fortitude and convictions of all who have been able to respond with a single fragrance, as I am much too weak to declare fidelity to a lone favorite.
ReplyDeleteOne scent I always love for summer is Passage d'Enfer; spritzing it on is like stepping from a hot and crowded city street into the cool, silent darkness of an old cathedral. I also return to the elegance of Lys Mediterranee, the perfect scent for a wedding by the sea. I will relish the refreshing tea in Oolong Infini; the crisp clean serenity of Juliet Stewart; the gentle yet airy sweetness of Ylang in Gold; the sunny joy of Soivohle Honeysuckle Bird; the grassy figgy goodness of Ichnusa; the bewitching Seville a l'Aube; and the alluring peach nectar of Flower of Immortality.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the draw. I own and love several M Micallef fragrances, and I'm sure Pomelo will be another winner for this house!

I love Roger&Gallet Extra-Veille cologne - just splashing it on makes me feel cooler.I also like Jo Malone's Grapefruit and this year want to try L'Artisan's Seville de l'Aube.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the sample Micallef- what a wonderful giveaway.
Thank you .
Sonia
My favorite summer perfume is Clinique Happy.
ReplyDelete[email protected]
Right now, my favorite summer fragrance is Chanel Cristalle Eau Verte. -Kathy
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite summer fragrance is a toss-up between Frederic Malle Carnal Flower (it just blooms so wonderfully in the weather where I live) and Creed Millesime Imperial - sun-warmed skin, salty from a dip in the sea, with a hefty dose of citrus and watermelon! Love your blog, and thanks for the giveaway : )
ReplyDeleteI've seen the same response from several (another? reader) -- Diorella, the original version. Roudnistka at his best, imo.
ReplyDeleteNew summer loves are Hermes Osmanthe, and CKbe. Thanks for the draw ....
[email protected]
My current summer favorite is L'eau de L'Artisan, but a scent like a blush colored silk dress sounds lovely. Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks! [email protected]
ReplyDeleteI have heard such great things about Micallef Pomelos!Goodness, my favorite summer fragrance changes by the day. I tend to reach for rose fragrances and citrus fragrances when the weather is warm. SOTD is Rose Poive from The Different Company... but last week I couldn't stop with the Bois Farine... it just felt perfect--neither a rose nor a citrus... I just went to look at my FBs... I buy so few, and mostly live with decants... but I noticed my Zen limited edition (purple bottle), which is a terrific summer fragrance...citrus and rose and lily-of-the-valley, and maybe jasmine... note to self to wear it tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI think Eau de Sud has got to be my all-time summer favorite. It's so cooling and stands up to the heat.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your geneous offer! I love Daim Blond and completely understand the "peach fuzz" note you describe, so I'd love to try Pomelos! My favorite summer scents are a far cry from the spicy, amber-y niche fragrances I favor during the cooler weather. For summer, I make no apolgies for loving the original 4711 and Thymes Ginger Milk, but other favorites include Parfums del Rae's Eau Illuminee and Parfums de Rosine's Rosa Flamenca. Joyous fragrances in warm weather all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway--those little minis are sweet! Right now I am wearing lots of Ineke's Poet's Jasmine, but I have a feeling that when it really warms up I will be heading for the citrus--bring on the Pomelos!
ReplyDeleteMy faves for summer include Eau pour le Jeune Homme and Baime by MPG and Balle de Match by Nicolai. Would love to try Micallef Pomelos!
ReplyDeleteWho knows for this year, but last year I enjoyed Chanel Sycomore and Frapin L'Humaniste the most during the summer. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy current favorites for summer are Annick Goutal Petite Cherie and Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange!
ReplyDeleteOh, and thank you for the giveaway...the minis are sooooo cute, I always love minis since they are adorable and easy to store.
Deletenarcisco rodriquez edt is beautiful in the heat. i also love l'artisan's the pour une ete, and dawn hurwitz's bancha. tea scent are lovely in the summer.
ReplyDeletealso...vintage (!!!) CSP pamplemousse. i think you chould get my email with this post but if not, it's [email protected]
ReplyDelete26 different summer fragrances is so yesterday, now 76. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Chanel's Beige.
ReplyDeleteMy scent this season is chlorine. I'm hunting for cleansers that can completely remove the eau de pool. Or perhaps a scent that would layer well with my aqua antiseptica?
ReplyDeleteI do love Guerlain AA Pamplelune on a blotter but when it's on my skin I smell like a cocktail. I keep looking for the bar.
I'd so much rather go looking for that lemon grove you mentioned! Thank you for the lovely draw. You can reach me at alederberg at hotmail dot com.
I love to wear Versace Yellow Diamond in the summer.
ReplyDeletevolta2173 at sbcglobal dot net
What a generous draw. My most steadfast summer scent is Un Jardin sur le Nil. [email protected]
ReplyDelete-- Amy McLaughlin, aka Annunziata
Hey Gaia! Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway! I know you'll scoff, but I think my favorite summer scent is Ommia Profumo - Madera. At least for now. I am using a sampler and it makes me think of pecans, caramel, and rum drinks. Why on earth I love it for summer is not something I can explain, but I like it a great deal. I can be reached at [email protected] if I'm a lucky winner.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer fragrances are Djedi edt, Le Labo Gaiac 10 or Prada Benjoin. Thank you for the wonderful blog.

I love grapefruit anything and have so enjoyed reading about everyone's favorite summer scents! I love fresh and green for summer (vintage Aliage) but just got a decant of Atelier Sous le Toit de Paris and I'm in utter love. This will be my new summer scent, I think.
ReplyDeleteIt has been Herba Fresca or Mandragore the past couple of years but this spring I'm crushing hard on Elie Saab EDT and I think this fling will continue through the summer.
ReplyDeleteI love citrus blossoms, or florals, white musks for summer. Trussardi Skin, Yves Rocher Neroli, lighter rose scents (with raspberry).
ReplyDeleteM.Micallef Pomelos sounds beautiful. How I would love to try it.
Thanks!
Camille from Goutal, Orange Star from Andy Tauer :-) Micallef`s scents always sound pretty - need to try!! Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway! If I was to pick one scent, I'd choose Un Jardin sur le Nil - I have so many good memories when I was wearing that scent
ReplyDeleteWhen the weather warms up again I know I will enjoy L'eau due Chloe, Pure White Linen, Jardin Sur Le Nil, Marc Jacobs, and Azuree (original and Soleil). Thanks for the giveaway and I live in the U.S.

My favorite summer scents are Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic
ReplyDeleteand Annick Goutal Chevrefeuile.
What a great giveaway, and how much fun it is to read all the suggestions!!
L'Artisan Timbuktu. Reminds me of childhood summers at my grandmother's in Mississippi - her linen closets were scented with beribboned bundles of vetiver roots bought in New Orleans. I think they were meant to scare away bugs. Timbuktu is my grandmother's linen closet meets camping out in Joshua Tree. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow...I have several summer fragrances I love, but one that immediately comes to mind it the beautiful L'Artisan Fleur de Liane, green cool and beautiful. Excellent draw, thank you.
ReplyDeleteRight now my favorite is DAisy by Marc Jacobs but I also love DKNY Be Delicious.
ReplyDelete[email protected]
Mine is Diptyque Philosykos at the moment!
ReplyDeletehuanhua at g mail dot com
Thanks!
Currently, it's Annick Goutal Eau d'Handrien. So fleeting, but the perfect antidote for the heat.
ReplyDeleteI love Osmanthe Yunnan, but it's so $$$ I can't spray with as much abandon as I'd like :) Mandragore is another summer go-to.
ReplyDeleteI do not have just one scent. Depending on the day and my activity planned for that day, along with my mood decides the scent I will wear.
ReplyDeleteI think Atelier Cologne's Grand Neroli is afavourite that I still dont own. I have been wearing my decant of Un Jardin en Mediterranee so that is a favourite, as well.
ReplyDeleteThe giveaway is now closed. I'll post the list of winners in a couple of days. Thank you for participating and for the fabulous suggestions!
