As the old fragrance adage goes, a spritz of a perfume can mentally transport you to the vacation of your dreams. And, for 2024, wanderlust is on everyone’s minds when picking their ideal summer scent.

From the ever popular beaches along the Mediterranean to the Kenyan coast, our favorite brands are currently inspired by idyllic vacation spots that will bring on the good vibes. Sweet florals and gourmands are as popular as ever, and even surprisingly, notes such as mango and coconut water have become key notes in this season’s best scents.

So if you’re in the market for something new to add to your fragrance wardrobe, you’ve come to the right place. Below are 15 summer fragrances to try this season—and beyond.
