We are forever blogging about fashion and handbags, so we now take a break from that and give you something that is still in the same arena – beauty.

Summer is a great time for perfume makers to update their best scents with a more seasonal smell. Such is the case with Givenchy, who have updated their Very Irresistible and given it a cocktail scent.

We are big fans of Guerlain scents, particularly the timeless Shalimar and L'Instant. Here, they give us another classic with AQUA ALLEGORIA FIGUE-IRIS that mixes fig, iris, vanilla and a hint of grapefruit. Yumm!

We would buy JEAN PAUL GAULTIER CLASSIQUE SUMMER FRAGRANCE just for the bottle, to display on our vanity. But good thing this floral scent smells good too, so it serves two purposes!

We got our paws on a sample of Burberry's The Beat about a month ago and instantly fell in love. We think you will love the woodsy floral clean scent as well.

It just wouldn't be summer without a hint of coconut, as in this Lavanila Vanilla Coconut concoction.

And Stella McCartney updates her Stella fragrance every summer, this summer putting a dewey note into her rose elixir called Stella Sheer.
