Fragrance is just like our wardrobes: With each new season, our signature scent deserves an upgrade. While it doesn't take much to give us an excuse to splurge on a new pair of sandals or a few dresses, the rising temperatures are all the more reason to swap winter's rich, spicy scents for something lightweight and airer. Although the Summer break was once what offically marked the beginning of the season, most of us haven't experienced it in a very long time. However, there's a consolation for not having two months of vacation: We can jumpstart the season whenever we want and there's no better way than with a new fragrance. We've rounded up right summer-ready scents you can start wearing right now.
