Where Steven and I live, it has been unbearably hot! Steven and I co-curated three under the radar scents for this unique summer fragrances post, because we think each deserves more attention. Each of our recommended scents are beautiful and unusual takes on citrus, tropical, solar, and floral notes from independent perfumeries. -Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

Neela Vermeire Creations Bombay Bling! (Bertrand Duchaufour): Indian born Creative Director Neela Vermeire in collaboration with Bertrand Duchaufour brings all the energy and color of a Bollywood extravaganza in this joyful genderless perfume that will make you feel like dancing in the streets. Bombay Bling with the most juicy mango note I have ever smelt, green and reminiscent of a mango lassi laced with cardamom. Currant and lychee join in for a bright pop of fruitiness. Kaleidoscopic florals at the heart- rose, ylang-ylang, tuberose, frangipani, and gardenia waft in perfect harmony and fill the air as you are magically transported to a colorful, wet and fragrant flower market in India. The woody mix of sandalwood and cedar sweetened by vanilla adding sensuality and spice. If you are looking for one of the most unique summer fragrances… you have found it. Bombay Bling! is a celebration in a bottle. Nothing smells quite like it.- Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

Photo for Unique Summer Fragrances 2024 from Antonio Alessandria Parfums
Antonio Alessandria Parfums Rusty Vibes (Antonio Alessandria): Created for ÇaFleureBon’s 10th anniversary as a limited edition in 2020 just as COVID hit and no one could travel and it sold out in weeks, so Antonio added to his permanent collection. Antonio Alessandria composed a perfume that is an very different from anything else in his line which are strongly inspired by his childhood memories of Catania, Sicily. You can read his inspiration here. My favorite perfumes usually have strong vanilla overtones and here it is smooth, sensual and sophisticated, The balance between ripe creamy florals ylang-ylang, passion fruit and coconut are set against the slightly metallic scent of incense and patchouli (thus the rusty) at the drydown. There is absolutely nothing pina colada about Rusty Vibes, which was one of the most unique tropical summer fragrances I have ever smelled, from one of the most talented independent perfumers of the past decade. – Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

Notes: Top: Passion Fruit, Coconut, Ripe Tropical Fruits, Middle: Lily of the Valley, Jasmine, Yellow Flowers accord, Base: Blond Woods, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Incense, Amber, Milky Musks
Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Neroli Intense photo for our unique summer fragrances 2024
Madame Patricia de Nicolaï, anticipating the creation of Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Neroli Intense, traveled to Nabeul in Tunisia, to the land of citrus groves, searching for and exploring the diverse facets of neroli and the bitter orange tree. Her experiences with the atmosphere of the harvest in Tunisia informed and inspired Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Neroli Intense, one of the most unique summer fragrances if you are a citrus fan who wants depth and longevity. It’s as if the entire tree, branches, leaves and blossoms were captured. There is a slightly green feel at the opening, herbal with tarragon, that warms up at the heart with the photorealistic smell of ripening oranges. Madame de Nicolaï uses Pittosporum flower, (Japanese Mock Orange) that has woody/musky and orange blossom nuances that lead to a honeyed, woody base. Intense yet refined. – Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
Notes: Neroli, mandarin, orange, tarragon, Pittosporum flower, orange flower, Petit-grain bigarade, beeswax, patchouli and musk
Available at Perfumology and many more stockists in the USA
Disclosure: Steven and Michelyn were gifted recently with Neroli Intense
