By Phoebe Tatham on 17th August 2026

With fruity, gourmand fragrances continuing to dominate the perfume scene, we’ve rounded up 9 of the best juicy concoctions to put a pep in your step this August.

August often feels like one of those awkward months that sits between summer and autumn. The floaty skirts and linen shirts are still firmly in rotation, but the nights are noticeably shorter and there's a freshness to the air that feels like a precursor to crumbles and wood-burning fires.

These quieter summer months are also synonymous with golden harvests and a surplus of ripened fruits. Blackberries quickly turn from magenta to deep purple, and the smell of rosy apples and pears hangs heavy in the air.

As the season starts to shift, so does our perfume rotation. With the hottest months now behind us, we’re currently trading in the aquatic notes and reaching for those jammy undertones that feel cocooning, sensual, and addictive all at once. From Jo Loves’ refreshing Pomelo to Lumira's mood-boosting Sun Soaked, discover our top picks below.

Jo Loves Pomelo Fragrance Paintbrush

Jo Loves’ Pomelo scent is one of the brand’s bestsellers - and for good reason. Conjured up on the baked shores of Parrot Cay, this fruity elixir features invigorating notes of pomelo, rose, and vetiver. It feels sophisticated, modern, and versatile - the type of perfume you can stow away in your bag and whip out on any occasion. Whether you’ve got an upcoming work trip, an important family gathering, or a last-minute city break, Pomelo does the trick beautifully.

ALLSAINTS Naked Woods

This new fragrance from ALLSAINTS feels like a crisp summer morning distilled into a bottle. Punchy notes of apple leaves and sweet rhubarb mesh seamlessly with geranium, orris, and pink pepper. After the initial burst of sweetness, splashes of amber woods, Clearwood® and skin musk take centre stage, adding an extra layer of deliciousness that’s hard to resist.

Ataratma’s unique, gender inclusive concoctions have been designed to encourage slow moments of reflection and personal ritual.

Le Monde Gourmand Pêche Délicieuse Eau de Parfum

£28, gourmandbeauty.com

This rosy-hued concoction is surprisingly chic. While the majority of peach perfumes can feel overly saccharine, Le Monde Gourmand’s iteration boasts toastier notes redolent of almonds and verdant peach leaves alongside cinnamon, orange, caramel, and cocoa. Given the affordable price tag, the staying power is seriously impressive, lingering on pulse points and clothes long after initial spritzing.

Gabar - 05 (Ludlow) LULL

£120, gabarworld.com

Gabar’s 05 (Ludlow) LULL is subtle and gently cocooning. Slotting into the ‘your skin but better’ category, the milky fragrance boasts orange blossom, black tea, red apple, cherry, and rose. It concludes with sensual sandalwood, cashmere woods, and white musk. Juicy red fruits aside, there’s an almost marzipan-like aroma that softly melts into the skin.

LUMIRA Sun Soaked Eau de Parfum

£150 for 50ml, atelierlumira.com

LUMIRA’s Sun Soaked is an ode to the humble pear. Inspired by travels through sunny Mallorca, the scent reads like a hazy Mediterranean afternoon spent feasting on platters of fresh fruit before plunging into crystal-clear water. It opens with honeyed pears and grapes, softens into a creamy heart with delicate florals, and concludes with comforting undertones of musk and cedarwood. It’s an elegant mood-booster that feels familiar and transporting all at once.

OUAI Hair and Body Fragrance Mist St. Barts

£26 for 97ml, theouai.co.uk

OUAI’s Hair and Body mists are the ultimate beauty-haircare hybrid. Infused with notes of dragon fruit, orange blossom, tuberose and musk, their St Barts blend instantly transports you to some tropical island studded with palm trees. We envisage slipping this into our beach bag, using it as a final touch up before heading to a chic bar for sundowners. Bliss.

D.S. & Durga Debaser In Bloom

D.S. & Durga's sensuous and heady Debaser eau de parfum has been remixed for this endless summer. The jammy fig notes remain, but it has been lightened with fresh notes of zingy white currant, intoxicating white floral gardenia, and softened with a lashing of cream. It's the perfect transcendent scent for balmy summer nights.

£155 for 50ml, libertylondon.com

Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense 

The original Marc Jacobs Daisy is an enduring icon, but this iteration is just as mesmerising. Inspired by a woodland stroll, the scent is a melody of fresh banana blossom and bright jasmine, mellowed by warm amber and sandalwood. It smells like wanderlust bottled. With a vibrant floral crown, the bottle will pep up any dressing table — an added bonus.

£129 for 100ml, thefragranceshop.co.uk
