Your favorite perfume can instantly lift your mood and evoke certain memories. But as the seasons change, and the weather changes, so should your signature scent. Warmer nights and long sunny days should be paired with a fragrance that encapsulates all the best things about the summer season. Here are some of the top summery scents of 2013, bring on the sun!
