If the thought of blissfully digging your toes into the sand is more of a daydream than a reality this year then bring the shore to you with a fresh-from-the beach summer scent. Summing up the smell of holiday, warm fragrances do their best to transport you to a sunny beach. An oldie but a goodie, Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess is a classic - think coconut, jasmine and the very slight hint of suncream. If you're in the market for something new then Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc combines a luxurious base of coconut milk with spicy notes of pink pepper and bergamont for a scent that exudes the endless pursuit of summer sun; it's also unisex so great for couples who care to share.

If sickly sweet florals are more your thing then YSL have got you covered with a fragrance that guarantees a holiday romance that will never end. The Datura orchid and white flower heart combined with a hint of musk captivates, while top notes of juicy pear bring freshness and a sense of vibrancy. A new scent is all well and good but what if you can't bear to part with your favourite aroma? Well, both Jimmy Choo and Viktor & Rolf have sought to revitalise their most popular fragrances with lighter versions of some winning whiffs; Illicit Flower and Flower Bomb La Vie en Rose.

Infused with tangy zest and energy citrus fruit fragrances are a lively addition to anyone's summer scent-drobe but this season both our favourites are uni-sex, rebellious and totally addictive. First up, Diptyque bring an unexpected offering with a citrus aromatic fragrance reminiscent of warm Italian summers -think orange blossom, juniper berry and patchouli. Meanwhile, Calvin Klein present their annual summer limited edition with CKOne Summer; crisp lime and lemon peel is fused with wet cucumber and ginger root to create an intoxicating scent which has us dreaming of gin and tonics by the pool.
