Introducing Summer Breeze '26: Aquatic Florals & Sea Air

Every year I try to make Summer Breeze feel different from the year before, and this year I went further than usual: no florals-forward citrus like '23 or '25, no stone fruit like '24. Summer Breeze '26 is built around cool sea air, dewy petals, and soft woods that sit very close to the skin — the feeling of stepping out of the water onto warm sand, drying off in a linen shirt while the breeze still carries a little salt and flower.

On first spray it's airy and almost transparent, a breath of sea air with a touch of citrus brightness and clean water. As it settles, a soft floral heart comes forward — luminous rather than sweet — wrapped in a smooth, woody base that keeps the whole thing calm and a little elegant rather than loud.

Notes:

• Top: Sea breeze accord, soft citrus, watery greens
• Heart: Dewy white petals, light aquatic florals
• Base: Smooth woods, pale amber, clean musk

It's completely unisex, and especially worth trying if you usually find aquatic fragrances too sharp or "sporty" — here the water, florals and woods are balanced so it reads calm and modern rather than overpowering. Two to four sprays on pulse points for a personal feel, or a light mist over clothes on hot days.

Summer Breeze '26 is available now in our Summer Breeze collection. Once next year's edition arrives, this one moves to our èdition archive — but it stays in stock there, so no need to rush.
