Although technically speaking, citruses are also edible. So, why am I surprised that cucumber is the hottest perfume trend this summer? It\u2019s refreshing, juicy, and has that earthy scent that makes me crave Greek salad as I write these lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sea and everything aquatic is a must-have for this and every other summer, simply because of their time-traveling properties: When we smell these perfumes in December, almost instantly we curse the wind, snow, and everything that has the word winter in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, just to keep you in the loop and follow the hottest trends in perfumery, I am going to list my favorite cucumber perfumes that worship this ingredient as much as I do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/perfume\/clinique-happy-heart-11\">Happy Heart by Clinique<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CLINIQUE-Happy-Heart.avif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-attachment-id=\"30300\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/best-cucumber-perfume-picks\/clinique-happy-heart\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CLINIQUE-Happy-Heart.avif\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"CLINIQUE-Happy-Heart\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CLINIQUE-Happy-Heart.avif\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CLINIQUE-Happy-Heart.avif\" alt=\"cucumber perfume\" class=\"wp-image-30300\" style=\"width:339px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rich chypre floral is as happy as Pharrell Williams&#8217;s song!

We have it. Kilian Hennessy asked master perfumer Frank Voelkl to recreate his wife\u2019s favorite drink, so maybe Love on the Rocks would\u2019ve been a more suitable name. This is all about dry gin and cucumber stirred, not shaken with a whisper of rose water thrown in for good measure. It&#8217;s clean, it&#8217;s refreshing, and 100% unisex. The rose is a light touch, like a wisp on the skin, with the gin and cucumber taking center stage. It&#8217;s definitely not a rose bomb like many perfumes spotlighting roses, but that&#8217;s what we love about Roses on Ice &#8211; the rose peeks through the gin and tonic every now and then, a delightful surprise. We adore this scent for summer, and it&#8217;ll be getting a lot of love from us these next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow us on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scentbird\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@scentbird?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a>&nbsp;for more newness, fragrance tips and tricks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When someone mentions edible notes in perfumery, my mind instantly wanders off to the sultry scent of vanilla, smooth caramel, whipped cream, chocolate, or the tingly bitter cocoa.
