Promotions and products are subject to availability and retailer terms. When summer rolls around, your beauty routine doesn't need to be complex—but it should be scented. The key? Layering. Think silky scrubs, nourishing body butters, radiant oils and light (but long-lasting) perfumes that leave a trail as warm as the weather. Done right, scent layering creates a custom fragrance story that lasts all day, and leaves you feeling like literal sunshine. Whether you're into creamy florals, sparkling citrus, or sultry musks, this guide is your ticket to smelling divine this season. Dove pH Balanced Body Scrub in Himalayan Salt & Rose Oil This gentle, creamy scrub buffs away dull skin while leaving behind a delicate floral scent. Himalayan pink salt smooths and exfoliates, while rose oil locks in moisture. It's luxe on the skin and totally budget-friendly. Start your scent routine here and your skin will drink up everything that follows. $11.46 on Amazon Story continues below advertisement Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Golden Hour A firming, refillable body butter that melts into skin with notes of warm amber and soft musk?

It's rich, decadent, and subtly sexy. $49 at Sephora L'Occitane Almond Shimmering Body Oil Say hello to instant vacation glow. This nourishing dry oil smells like sweet almonds and vanilla and leaves a subtle shimmer on the skin. It's never greasy, just golden and glossy in the best way possible. Layer it on top of your lotion for a sun-kissed finish that catches the light (and compliments). $73 at Sephora Dolce&Gabbana Devotion Eau de Parfum Intense If summer had a signature scent, this would be it. With rich notes of candied citrus, orange blossom and creamy vanilla, Devotion is romantic, radiant, and a little bit addictive. One spritz and you're transported to an Italian coastline.
