Airy notes of sea salt crystals and vanilla orchid create a luminous, promising atmosphere, balanced out with vanilla cr\u00e8me, amber, and blonde woods for a warmth that feels like it\u2019s kissed by the sun. It&#8217;s one of the more interesting summer fragrances of the season precisely because it doesn&#8217;t play it safe with a straightforward citrus or aquatic formula. Instead, it takes a familiar, comforting note and gives it an edge that\u2019s meant to be worn by the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notes: Sea Salt Crystals, Vanilla Orchid, Vanilla Cr\u00e8me, Sheer Amber, Blonde Woods<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/img-1779912782411.avif\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"35219\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/best-niche-perfume-for-designer-lovers\/img-1779912782411\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/img-1779912782411.avif\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" 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=\"love island\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/img-1779912782411.avif\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/img-1779912782411.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35219\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/brand\/love-island\">Scentbird x Love Island Eau de Parfum<\/a>: the skin-musk standout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Villa isn&#8217;t the only thing heating up.
