Uber fruity summer time fragrances (im getting a head start)

Thread Starter 
im so sick of winter and it has just started. I live in Alabama and Im not use to this weather. I could deal with cold days a few times a month during winter time. This cold cold cold every day is just too much for me. So Im preparing to make my own personal summer. I want to surround myself with fun summer time scents.

I have a few in mind to try like bond no. 9 fire island, sun by jil sanders and CB i hate perfume at the beach 1966. What im really interested in are super sweet fruity scents reminiscent of Escada Sunset Heat. This is my absolute favorite of all the summer edition Escadas although I dont own a bottle. I dont like falling in love with limited edition so what out there is very similar to Sunset Heat?

Jennifer Lopez's Live Luxe is supposed to be similar according to
the Basenotes directory.
Have you tried Molinard's Nirmala? I find this is the fruity summer scent
I go to most. It is full of lush tropical fruits and smells delicious.

hi dany06, I know what you mean. When you are not used to extreme weather, it can really mess up your mood. I'm not familiar with the Escadas and I'm not sure exactly which fruits you prefer but here are some suggestions in varied price ranges, because I want to support your project of creating our own personal climate! I'm right there with you.

Cacharel Liberte- a super candied orange scent. Layers well with tea scents, too.
Montana Just Me- topnotes of grapefruit, ginger, caramel and pepper;heart of jasmin and ylang ylang; basenotes of musc, vanilla and amber.
Hermes Un jardin Sur Le Nil- Mango
Cristobal by Balenciaga- fig

If you have access to l'Artisan Parfumeur, I find Vanilia supersummery (fruity vanilla). Similarly Josephine Baker by Etat libre d'Orange (pineapple), but that's even more difficult to find.

cacio

I haven't smelt the Escada, but if you want a mouthwatering plummy rose I suggest By Kilian Liasons Dangerous. I hate to admit it, but I do have a soft spot for Amor Amor

I am here in this Alabama weather too -although my craving has tended towards citrus,rose ,greens,and spices lately.
I used to have a mini of Sunset Heat -I found it a bit too sweet for me and passed it to a coworker.Test Amor amor first it either works or won't on skin (Moschino Couture is suposed to be similar from reveiws I've read).
My recomendation is to try Wrapped With Love by Hillary Duff -her 1st on With Love is what I prefer it has more woods and amber WWL is a summertime fruitpunch scent and generally a bit too sweet for me.

Thank you all for those suggestions. Im going to try my best to try out all of them. They all sound wonderful. What Im particulary interested in from Sunset Heat are the mango, papaya, and pineapple notes. I want to smell like that mango strawberry fruitista freeze from taco bells.


Scent and bookwyrmsmith I actually own Amor Amor by cacharel. I've had it since I was in the 11th grade. It is very fruity but a bit too spicy for what Im looking for. I also never thought of wearing it during the summer since it so potent.

Rochas Poupee. A very decent fruity scent (too much for me but I would recommend it to someone who likes fruity notes)

Womanity by Thierry Mugler is a good fruity scent. The fig note is super sweet but the caviar note (which smells like salty sea spray) stops it from being toothachingly sweet.

Jailia by Profumi d. Pantelleria is the total über-FRUITY for me!

It's probably hard to find...- but worth a try.

Lola by Marc Jabobs is extremely fruity, so is Pleasures Exotic by Estee Lauder.
