This New, Can’t-Miss Citrus Scent Calls for Sunny Days Ahead

It’s 2 p.m. on a Tuesday. You’re in Miami, lying on a blue-and white-striped beach chair. You’re listening to the steady roll of waves hitting the shore. The blazing sun is slowly wicking the water from your skin. You breathe in the smell of salt, sand, and citrus. The latter isn’t coming from the orange drink in your lap. It’s coming from a new perfume you love so much that you even wore it to the beach. You spritz it on your skin again before stashing it back in your beach bag.

This isn’t an oddly specific daydream; it’s a memory from my recent trip to Miami. Sure, I was lucky enough to swap the Midwest cold for the sunny shores of South Beach, but I was even luckier to learn about my new go-to scent. (As a beauty editor, the perfume is what *really* mattered to me). Ahead, see the special new scent I’ll be wearing throughout spring and summer 2025, guaranteed.

I’m the first to admit that citrus scents can be controversial. Some people love them, and others avoid them because they evoke memories of early 2000s scents that veer into sticky orange juice territory. That said, I firmly believe that when a citrus scent is done *right,* it changes everything.
