13 New Perfumes to Spritz This Summer
While we generally think of our memories visually, smell is actually the most powerful memory trigger of all. And it makes sense — the smell of cookies might remind you of grandma’s house, and a certain flower might remind you of that bouquet you received for your birthday. From Modern Muse Le Rouge to Trèsor Midnight Rose, the 13 new summer perfumes listed below probably won’t remind you of anything from your past, but that’s alright. It just means that there’s room left for new summer memories that you’ll look back on fondly for years to come.
