Where to Find Your Favorite Fruity Scents for Summer 2024
Happy summer—almost. We've got roughly eleven more days until the solstice, but that hasn't stopped us from having that summer feeling. We're at the height of our seasonal preparations, including swapping our floral fragrances for fruity and bright scents.
If you're looking for a few new bottles to add to your collection during your summer cleaning, continue reading. Below, we have the best fragrances that scream sunny days, thanks to their juicy, fruity notes.
Banana
Banana is one of those notes that people forget exists, but once you smell it once, it will convert you for life. It's warm and sweet but more fresh than a gourmand like vanilla or amber. With these three scents, you can find bananas enhanced by florals and vanilla.
- Hempz Original Floral Banana Herbal Hydrating Body Mist: $12.95
- Sugar Milk Co. Banana Milk! Silky Oil Perfume: $49
- Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Banane Eau de Toilette: $110

Coconut
When you think of summer, one of the first scents you probably imagine is coconut. It's earthy and nutty but still exudes femininity with its sweet base. It's also one of the most versatile. You can pair it with vanilla (see KAYALI's Vanilla Coco) or florals (KILIAN's Sunkissed Goddess) or easily customize it by layering it underneath another fruity scent.
- Victoria's Secret Pink Coconut Coast Body Mist: $19.95
- "VACATION" by Vacation Eau de Toilette: $60
- SKYLAR Coconut Cove Eau de Parfum: $90
- KAYALI Utopia Vanilla Coco Eau de Parfum Intense: $138
- KILIAN Paris Sunkissed Goddess Eau de Parfum: $295
Citrus
Do you want to light up any room with energy and zest? You'll probably enjoy a sunny, citrus-led scent. Like coconut, it's versatile. You can have something like Bath & Body Work's Fresh Amalfi Lemon, which has a refreshing mix of lemon and spearmint, or something more dessert-like, such as Fresh's Sugar Lemon, which combines yuzu and lemon with caramel.
- Bath & Body Works Fresh Amalfi Lemon: On Sale for $8.47
- Frenshe Citrus Amber Hair, Body & Linen Mist: $14.99
- Fresh Sugar Lemon Eau de Parfum: $98
- Clean Reserve Golden Citrus H2Eau de Parfum: $110
- Tom Ford Azure Lime Eau de Parfum: On Sale for $250.75
Mango
Is there anyone on this planet who doesn't enjoy mango? Probably not. They taste delicious and smell even better. For summer, you can channel the world's best fruit with a sparkling fragrance like Eau de Juice's Good Energy Mist or aim for something more mature and robust like Paco Rabanne's sandalwood-based FAME.
- Eau de Juice Good Energy Body Mist: $12
- Phlur Mango Mood Body Mist: $35
- Paco Rabanne FAME Eau de Parfum: $120
- Vilhelm Parfumerie Mango Skin Deep Eau de Parfum: $175

Pineapple
Just behind bananas, pineapple is one of the most underrated fragrances. Almost everyone loves to eat them, but everyone forgets to wear them! When you get a complex fragrance like Ellis Brooklyn's Miami Nectar, combining pineapple with plumeria and amber, or Michel Germain's Sugarful Sunshine, blending pineapple with agave and tree moss, you'll realize what you've been missing.
- Beloved Pineapple & Papaya Fine Fragrance Body Mist: On Sale for $8.49
- Michel Germain Paris Sugarful Sunshine Eau de Parfum: $65
- Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar Eau de Parfum: $110
Strawberry
Strawberry never goes out of season, but it does get better in the summer. For the next three months, we'd recommend selecting a strawberry scent sweeter than usual, like Doctor Sweet Tooth's Strawberry Shortcake Dry Oil. With florals like Coach Love, it's also a great transitionary fragrance.
- Doctor Sweet Tooth Strawberry Shortcake Dry Oil Perfume: $30
- Coach Love Eau de Parfum: $74
- Malin and Goetz Strawberry Eau de Parfum: $98
- Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum: $120
- Christian Louboutin Loubidoo Eau de Parfum: $200
Watermelon
Watermelon: you either love or hate it, and we definitely love it. It's one of those fragrances we exclusively wear in the summer—it doesn't feel right in any other season. More than any other fruit, these perfumes feel more edible than any other. Take Escada's Sorbetto Rosso, for example. It has "sorbet" in the name!
- Le Monde Gourmand Melon D'Eau Fresh Body Mist: $15
- Escada Sorbetto Rosso Eau de Toilette: On Sale for $59.99
- Dolce & Gabbana L'Imperatrice Eau de Toilette: $77
- Tocca Simone Eau de Parfum: $86
