Here are the top 10 designer-inspired perfumes to wear this summer.

1. 282 (Inspired by Paradoxe)

Bright, floral, and ultra-feminine. With soft neroli, juicy tangerine, and musky amber, this scent evolves beautifully in the heat. It’s playful and sophisticated all in one.

3. 626 (Inspired by Neroli Portofino)

Zesty citrus meets cooling florals and white musk. It’s like diving into a clear blue pool on a hot day. Clean, gender-neutral, and effortlessly elegant.
