If you have a bunch of date nights on your cal...

Cartier La Panthère Eau de Parfum Légère, $140

OK, the packaging of this beauty is so gorgeous it might call for a date night with just you and your new perfume. This rich, luxe fragrance — created for “free and passionate woman” — is a musky floral that you should keep on reserve for your summer date nights.

For a refreshing mix of citrus and fruits...

7 Virtues Perfume in Grapefruit Lime, $77

7 Virtues is a fragrance brand you need to know. Named “the peace perfumes,” each fragrance is made from organic, natural and fair trade essential oils. Grapefruit Lime, in particular, celebrates peace with a blend of ethically sourced essential oils from Israel and Iran.

For a casual, clean smelling fragrance...

Diptqyue Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum, $165

For an office-approved unisex fragrance that’s ideal for the minimalist or someone who likes light, floral musky fragrances, try this new perfume from Diptyque. “Fleur de Peau” translates to “flower of the skin,” which perfectly depicts the subtle yet pleasant floral scent.

For the beach-obsessed babe...

Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk, $155

Even though this one’s not brand new, it’s a must-have for anyone who’s in love with the beach — specifically the smell of “sun kissed salty skin” at the end of a long day by the ocean. This fresh scent is made up of lemon, coconut, milk and cedarwood, and it will evoke beachy vibes even if you’re stuck in the office.

For the gal who loves everything sweet...

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Nectar, $170

If you’re searching for a non-overwhelming fragrance that’s a combination of sweet and floral, check out this fragrance from Viktor & Rolf. The name “Flowerbomb” is no exaggeration. When you put it on, you’ll get a burst of addictive sweetness combined with a floral scent and smoky gunpowder that balances out all of the fragrance notes.

For the free spirit...
