Scent Stories: The best fruity perfumes for summer and beyond

With Paula’s Ibiza Cosmic, Cruelles aspires to transport you to the energising ambiance of Ibiza nightlife, "making wearers feel invigorated, adventurous, and immersed in the Island's spirit". With a blend of coconut, sandalwood and mango, it evokes the feeling of an olfactory explosion, "infusing warmth, vibrancy, and an undeniable sense of excitement".

An smart accessible option if you want to dip your toe into fruity fragrances, Bon Parfumeur's 201 is like biting into a crisp green apple in a garden pulsing with delicate white blooms. It's elegant and ethereal, perfect for this spring/summer's sartorial mood.

Tom Ford does decadence like no other, and Bitter Peach is the embodiment of a sensual scent. Opening with sweet peach, blood orange oil and cardamom, at the heart it blends rum, cognac, davana and jasmine absolute, while vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood ground the base.

As da Costa explains, when creating, Olfactive O focus on the personality who would suit the fragrance ? "so in the case of our Fruity Eau de Parfum it is for someone bubbly, warm and with a kind of intoxicating energy". In the concoction, juicy summer notes like currants meet green strawberry leaves for a quality that's at once fresh, sweet and tart. As da Costa puts it, expect "a sophisticated vibrancy".

An unarguably sunny scent, Vilhelm Parfumerie's striking Mango Skin is joy in a bottle. Inspired by South Africa, expect ripe mango sitting alongside blackcurrant and black pepper, with a bouquet of wild orris, black lotus and jasmine and a hint of pink sugar.

While Phlur's Tangerine Boy may steal the limelight (on TikTok, at least), fruity fragrance fans should also look to the viral brand's Apricot Privee, with its rich notes of pulpy apricot and velvety plum, layered with cardamon, tonka and creamy sandalwood.

A ticket to Costa Rica, here sweet pineapple and zesty bergamot are teamed with jasmine and patchouli plus soft vanilla. Think sun-drenched shores with frothy waves lined by tropical palms at happy hour.

Cuir Infrarouge is the perfect example of the way Maison Crivelli use fruit notes in creations, Crivelli tells us. Picture drinking raspberry cocktails at an underground electro festival with neon lights: "The technical challenge here was to create a contrast between a beautiful supple suede leather accord, and a vibrant elegant fruity top note of raspberry." Uplifting and vibrant, perfumer Jordi Fernandez's answer to this "is amazingly well-blended".

The work of master perfumer Olivier Cresp, this update to Dolce & Gabbana's iconic Light Blue comes laced with fruity notes. Maintaining its classic base of fresh citrus, florals, and woods, this rendition includes bergamot and peaches for a punchy sugar hit.

Tangy and rich, EPC has reimagined rose perfume via rhubarb, combining the bright fruit with sharp blackcurrant and jammy Moroccan rose absolute. If you're a rose lover looking for a sparkling summer update to your collection, this is it.
