Decou-Vert is a water scent like none other and for this reason it quite effortlessly falls into this list of great summer scents.

Sunday Cologne from Byredo – £130.00 (100ml), Click to buy
A refreshing blend of bergamot, geranium incense, vetiver, lavender and moss – not just a summer scent, Sunday Cologne can be worn with pride any place, at anytime.
Testosterone by Sentifique – £124.00 (50ml), Click to buy
Strong, robust and supremely masculine, Testostérone’s warm and spicy body emits a deep and pungent vapour that is laced with our accords, one of our favourite summer scents which packs some muscle! As the name suggests, this one will emphasise your masculinity like none other. Molten tar, luxurious agarwood and medicinal spices are given a sensual yet rugged edge by the addition of patchouli crystals: Erotic, dry and sophisticated. It’s a strong name to live up to, so it’s manly whilst encompassing a sexy side.
Holy Thistle by Union – £125.00 (100ml), Click to buy
Holy Thistle has been cultivated for its medicinal qualities for centuries, but here its fresh, green aroma has been sourced to the Kinrara Estate on the banks of the River Spey in the Highlands, captured and combined with a halo of misty, icy Bay from Pembrokeshire, Bracken from the Borders, and Highland Pine Resin. Union is the only truly British perfume brand, using only British ingredients and was an easy choice when compiling our summer scents list!
Acqua Di Genova – £75.00 (100ml), Click to buy
A classic style fragrance which was created in 1853 for the Royal House of Savoia by the famous Genoese distiller and perfumer Stefano Frecceri. Emperor Napoleon III of France fell in love with the fragrance & a classic was born! After 150 years, the cologne is still going strong, and is made according to its traditional recipe, using only the highest quality natural essences, & is presented in its original handmade bottles. Wherever you plan on holidays this summer, make sure you have this summer scents legend in your wash bag.
