I live in the USA. This is only my second winter season as a full-on perfumehead. Last year I didn’t wear summer scents in the winter, but this year I may go for Carnal Flower and Amaranthine.
Thanks for entering me in the draw!
I live in the US! Wearing YSL Live Jazz in the winter is a great change of pace from my typical heavier winter fragrances. It’d also wear well in Hawaii where I’d love to go on vacation!
I live in the USA
1. Summer scent for winter: Clarins Eau Dynamisante
2. Next vacation: New Zealand
I like to wear Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil just about any time of year, including winter. Next summer, I would like to go to Nova Scotia for a week-long music camp called Boxwood. I live in the US. Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US.
My next vacation, I hope, is in India.
Summer Scent I love year round is: Miss Marissa Tropical
I think I want to go to Brazil! I have a dear friend from Blumenau and we keep talking about a trip there sometime soon. We will drink more cachaca then is reasonable, I am sure.
I live in the US and you have permission to use the email in my account. Thanks!
I live in the USA. I rarely wear summer scents in winter because it’s my chance to wear incense, woods & ambers! I’m hoping that my next vacation will be to Germany for Christmas.
I live in the USA!
1. Summer scent for Winter… Green florals (lately, Estee Lauder Wild Elixir and BBW Butterfly Flower) and sometimes full-on tropical scents if I want to really go to the islands… like Harajuku Lovers G, which is actually somewhat too much for the summer.
2. Next vacation? Oh man. I wish I could actually use my vacation for something other than visiting family. Fantasy trip is probably Hawaii or the Greek isles.
I live in the US.
1. Eau d’Orange Vert.
2. There are a million places I would love to go, but at the moment I am dreaming of Madagascar.
I live in the USA and I would love to be part of this draw!
My favorite summer scent is Songes, no doubt partly because I wore it for my summer wedding a couple years ago. 🙂
Live in the US.
I’ve been spraying on Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta lately which I consider mostly to be a summery fragrance.
Next trip will probably be Hawaii in March but I was hoping to go to St Petersburg, Russia this December before plans fell through. If I can swing Moscow I might go visit a friend, though. Maybe. I haven’t decided how feasible it is as I’ve depleted all my PTO by holidaying a little too much this year.
Thanks!
I live in the US.
Next vacation – Paris
I live in the U.S.
Though I’m much more prone to wear winter frags in the summer than summer frags in the winter, there are winter days when Eau d’Orange Vert is the perfect pick-me-up.
I have no idea when the next vacation will be, but I would love to go to Japan (I should note that I almost certainly won’t be doing so anytime soon).
I like to wear Different Company’s Divine Bergamont in winter although it is light and summer-y.
Next vacation- anywhere that I am not sleeping on a realative’s coach.
I live in the US and would like to be enter into this give a way.
Thanks
I live in the US… I like to wear Fresh Citron de Vigne year round even though I really think of it as a summer frag
I live in the US, and I do love PdN Balle de Match to remind me of summer.
I live in the US.
My hubby and I have talked about going to Vegas for our next vacation. I’ve never been. Not a party animal, but I would like to see the Hoover Dam and there’s a track you can go to and pay to drive supercars, one of my hubby’s dreams.
I live in the US and I’d like to go to St. Petersburg, Russia next summer.
I live in the US. My husband keeps promising we’ll go to India this winter, but so far no arrangements have been made. He needs to meet with scientists in Bangalore about a possible three-month sabbatical there the following year. I really hope we get a chance to check it out soon.
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US.
I don’t own too much in the order of summer fragrances–much prefer the dark and heavy to the light and subtle. I do have Bronze Goddess, but I didn’t have it yet last winter–I can imagine that I might wear it in the dark pre-spring to improve my wishful thinking!
I was looking at deals to Vegas just last night–I really might need some sunshine in December!
What a fun giveaway! I live in the US, and I would love to vacation in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve never been, and I think I could easily spend a few weeks there and not get bored.
I live in the US!
I love to wear Malin + Goetz Rum Tonic year round. It always works.
I live in the US and my favorite summer time for winter in Habit Rouge. My next holiday will be LA.
I live in the US and I really like Eau d’Hadrien in the winter — I’m wearing it today, in fact (it’s wintry here, in the 30s).
I live in the US, and sometimes I need a good pick-me-up in the winter from Eau de Rochas or Eau de Cologne Imperiale. My other go-tos include Jacomo Silences (which reminds me of spring rain) and Cristalle.
Perhaps one of these would be just right for today!
I live in the US. Next vacation I hope will be Egypt, again 🙂
I do live in the USA and I love to hide a little, albeit hoarded, Azuree Soleil under the sweaters now and again. It confuses people a bit, and I like that. My next vacation is the first as a single woman in 40 years and I’m going to Charleston with my wild pack of sisters and Our Leader, Mom.
I have mad love for L’Artisan! I live in the US — thanks for the draw!
I live in the Us, you can use my email.
AG les Nuit deHadrien – some consider it a summer frag but I love it in the winter!
Would love to go to Australia, preferrably with Hugh Jackman showing me around town
I live in the US. My last (and only) trip to Italy was much too short because I was there on business, so for vacation I would love to go back as a tourist for a month and spend about a week each in Venice, Rome and Florence and then use the remaining week to drive up the Amalfi coast. And then I’d still need to come back for a few months to do all the other stuff I’d missed.
I live in the US. My favorite summer scent in EL Bronze Goddess. Next summer I actually want to get out to Hawaii- my brother’s family and a good friend live there, so I need to go visit!
I live in the US. I want to and am planning to go to Italy next summer. Can’t wait.
I live in the US. I have so many places I’d love to go for my next vacation, but let’s say Portugal and Spain (mostly Barcelona to see all the Gaudi). Living in San Diego, we don’t get much real winter, but it gets chilly so when it is cold, I’m happy to wear all my wintry scents and save the summer stuff for the rest of the year!
I live in the US. I wear Eau du Sud during the cold months, and my next vacation will be in Santa Barbara.
I live in the US. My favorite summer scent that I also use in winter is Acqua di Parma Colonia and I’d love to go to Barcelona soon…
Thanks!
I live in the US!
My summer for winter fragrance is MDCI Les RIvages des Syrtes….anything with neroli is wonderful! Next vacation…if I had my way a “mommy” trip to NYC! But my girls will probably vote for a trip to the American Girl store in Chicago! (there is a Chanel boutique nearby, so maybe we will all be happy! 🙂 )
i live in the US. I don’t generally own wear summer scents in the winter since I prefer heavier scents and use the chilly weather to wear all my beloved perfumes that are too heavy for the heat. For my next vacation I would love to go to Maine and feast on some really fresh lobster.
I live in the US, North Carolina to be exact but I was raised in Orlando, FL and I despise winter. It’s 47 degrees outside right now and it’s not even winter yet. I want to hibernate. Frequently I turn to summer fragrances in the winter to cheer myself up. I like Chanel 19 and Aqua Allegoria Mimosa and sometimes Bronze Goddess for when it’s extra dreary. I would love to go Puerto Rico right now and lounge in the sun like a lizard. I would also love to win this tropical happy perfume.
I love to vacation in Hawaii, but don’t think it’s going to be happening this winter. So instead I’ll be wearing my “Hawaii scent” from time-to-time: Ave Luxe’s Venus Sands. I live in the U.S.
i live in the US and the more summery scent I find works equally well in winter is Sous le Vent. I would love to vacation in Tuscany.
I liked this one from the breif sniff in store. I live in the us, and I would love to vacation in Spain.
I live in the USA. I’ve never really bothered with the summer fragrance versus winter fragrance thing, so there probably are several summer ones that I use in the winter! As for my next vacation, if I could choose anywhere at all to go I would like to go to the Burgundy region in France, and then to Lyon (not too far away), where supposedly the best food in France is to be found.
I live in the U.S. I’d love to go to Scotland on my next vacation, but that seems unlikely! I’d also love to return to places I’ve enjoyed in the past (England, Germany, the Netherlands), but there is no international travel for me in the foreseeable future. I’ll have to do fun things much closer to home.
I’m in the USA and I’d like to wear Vintage Gardenia while skiing; white on white.
I live in the US. I’ll occasionally wear L’Eau de L’Artisan in the winter. I also love to wear Un Jardin sur le Nil, although I think of that one as more of a year-round fragrance.
My ideal next vacation would be to travel around Ireland. My more realistic next vacation will probably be a trip to Vermont to visit friends.
Thanks for this contest, Robin. Of course I’d wear Batucada in the winter, but I currently wear Songes, Amaranthine and if I need a pick-me-up and want to feel classy while doing dishes or the like, OJ’s Tiare. I live in the US and you can use the email in my account.
I live in the US. Every now and then I use several summer scents in the winter as a pick-me-up. I haven’t been on a vacation for 4 years (even a weekend), but I hope the next vacation I do have will be in Italy.
I live in the US, in a deserty place with sun most of the year… So I consider all of my clothing and scent wardrobe “interseasonal”. My summeriest scent is Heeley’s cooling Esprit du Tigre, and I love it in the winter too.
I live in the USA
1.) I like to wear Baghari by Robert Piguet
2.) I plan on either New York City or London economy dependent
Thank you.
I live in the USA. Id like to go to New Caledonia for vacation, but god i dont want to take that flight.
I live in the US (woo). I like to wear citrus in the winter (which I believe is considered summery). And I am going to go to New York on my next vacation 😀
I live in the US.
Robin, it’s great of you to have this drawing.
I live near the coast in Central California, so my winter consists of cold and rain.
I love to wear Aqua Allegoria Marndarine-Basilic for an instant sunshine pick-me -up!!
I live in the US and actually love to wear Kai during the cooler months, its a happy scent for me and reminds me of summer.
Hello robin,i live in the US and my favorite summer frag 2 wear in winter is Artisan from John Varvatos.
I live in the US.
My favorite summer fragrance to wear in the winter is Escale a Portofino.
I’d love to go to Paris for my next vacation!
Thanks for the giveaway!
oooh! This contest was MADE for me! I looooove wearing summer frags in the winter. For some reason, in the summer, they are just BORING. I live in the US and you have my permission to use my email.
I think that Escale a Portofino is PERFECT in the winter. Cool air makes it elegant rather than sticky. And for my next vacation, I’d like to go to New York. I’m sure that sounds boringly simple to most people, but I’ve never been for fun and would love to smell all the perfume at the shops. And go to Chinatown.
Hello Robin, thanks for hosting another giveaway. I do live in the U.S. I like to wear Osmanthe Yunnan year-round, though mentally I’ve catalogued it as a summer scent. Wore it yesterday, in fact, when temps hovered near freezing, and it smelled great!
I live in the US – in a Very Cold Part of the US (at least in the winter :-). My ‘summer’ winter scent would probably be Carnal Flower, which I normally reserve for the hottest days (when I’m not smoking everybody out with Tribute Attar~)
Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
Oooh! Hollerday? right now I would love to spend 2 weeks in Big Sur, at Ventana. Heck, did I say two weeks? How ’bout 3!
xoA
I live in the USA
1. Summer scent for winter: L’Artisan Perfumur Mandarine Tout Simplement or Hermes Eau d’Orange Vert. I love Citrus Aromatics.
2. Next vacation would have to me Hawaii. Especially, Kauai.
I live in the US, and love wearing violet-based perfumes in the winter – Jolie Madame and Verte Violette make me feel that spring will indeed happen.
U.S. fella here! The summer fragrance that comes to mind immediately is Eau Sauvage, as I am a recent convert to its brilliance. Next in line after that: Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere!
I live in the U.S. and would love to get back to Disney!
Although it never TRULY becomes “Winter” in Southern California, I like to break up my winter rotations with a little Byredo Pulp (just wore some yesterday, as a matter of fact…).
I love Seattle in the summer and try to get up there every year. Boulder is also a favorite of mine in the summer. When I worked for the Cruise Lines I was fortunate enough to spend some time on the tiny island of Bali Bali….my dream vacation is to go back for a few weeks some year.
I live in the US and thank you for the opportunity, Robin.
I live in the US – thanks for the draw! Mimosa pour Moi is a light summery scent that I wear year round, especially layered with Dzing! to give it some umpf. My other favorite “Summer in Winter scent ” is Le ‘Temps d’une fete – I actually prefer to wear in the winter rather the warmer temps. It’s so hot here in the summer that this can seem a bit cloying, but it’s great in fall & winter especially! Might need to put some on this afternoon, in fact!
I live in the U.S.
I would love to wear Penhaligon’s Amaranthine this winter, if I can get my hands on some more!
Right now I’m really jonsing to go to some Civil War National Parks in PA, MD, VA & TN.
I live in the U.S.A. and would love to travel to Italy soon and then cruise home on a wonderful ship…
Please enter me in the draw.
Fico di Amalfi, Acqua di Parma for winter 🙂
Thank you.
Thank you for putting this up for grabs!
I live in the U.S., and I’m going to Palm Springs with Girlfriends for holiday, but if I could pick anywhere, it’d be Koh Yao Noi in Thailand.
Goutal’s Neroli is a summery one I sneak in to remind me of warmer times….
This is an exciting prize! Thank you for the chance at it. I live in the US, and I think Guerlain Terracotta Voile d’Ete works well all year, because of its warm character.
I live in the US, and the fragrance I like to wear in the cold, dark, heart of winter to remind me that it WILL get warm again is Comptoir Sud Pacifique’s Coco Extreme: tropical deliciousness, pure and simple 🙂
I live in the USA: I got a bottle of Voyage d’Hermes at the end of this past summer as a gift, and I may very well end up wearing it some in the colder months. I just got back from my mini vacation for the year to the Chesapeake Bay, which was lovely and very relaxing. My next ideal vacation would be hiking in Appalachia somewhere.
I live in the US. Thanks so much for this draw!!
I sometimes like to wear Creed Virgin Island Water when I want to pretend that it’s not winter. I’d love to go to Machu Picchu on my next vacation.
Have a good weekend.
I live in the US and for my next vacation (which will probably have to wait till my son is through with college) I’d like to go to Jordan. See Petra, camel trek through Wadi Rum, float in the Dead Sea, scuba in the Red Sea, and hit the crusader castles. A summer scent that I like to wear in the winter is Mandragore.
Hey Robin, I live in the U.S. and you have permission to use my address if I am the winner. My favorite summer scent to wear in the winter is Acqua di Gioia. It reminds me of somewhere warm and tropical. Not sure where my next trip will be, but will go to the Outer Banks in Sept. 2012.
I live in the US. If I went on vacation, it would have to be Disneyland! My hubby has never been there.
I live in the US. You have permission to use the email address on file.
A summer fragrance that I plan on wearing this winter is A.Goutal Eau de Camille – green, floral and perfect for a gloomy winter day!
I live in the US. If I went on vacation it would have to be to Taos, New Mexico for the winter. I miss the snow there so much! Thanks for the contest. I love reading your blog.
Hi Robin !
I live in the US, and you may use the email address in my profile.
I like to wear L’Artisan Mandarine Tout Simplement in the winter, as well as summer.
Thanks for the offer, as always !
Kate
Hello! I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address. I am hoping my next vacation will be to England. My favorite all year summer scent is Lostmarc’h DinDan.
I live in the US and my next vacation is a dream vacation to England in about two weeks. Hopefully I’ll be able to find something special while I’m over there!
I live in the U.S. and I’m going to answer sort of backwards: though most people think of L de Lolita Lempicka as a winter scent, I like to wear it in summer. So when I wear it in winter, I think of it as wearing a summer scent in winter…
I live in the United States, and you can use my email address.
I often wear Blenheim Bouquet in the later winter months when I just can’t stand it any longer.
Next vacation Sophia and Istanbul, hopefully!
I live in the US and you may use my email address. Some summery scents I like in winter are Hermes Concentree d’Orange Verte and JM Vanilla and Anise.
A scent I like all year round is AG Mandragore.
I live in the USA. I’m with the others who love the winter fragrances -the wods, spices, etc. So don’t much wear summer fragrances once the weather cools off. For my next vacation I’d like to go to Bhutan. I’ve heard it has the highest happiness index of any country in the world.:^) Thanks for the draw.
I live in the US. Apres L’ondee anytime of the year. My next vacation would be drinking my way through Sonoma Napa Valley
I live in the U.S.
I like Bvlgari Thé Blanc to perk me up during winter doldrums, though it doesn’t last very long on my skin.
I am desperately trying to make a vacation to go hiking to the “lost city” in the forests near Cartagena, Colombia, or to hot air balloon over Cappadocia & hit the thermal waters in Pammukale! (I’m a travel romantic.)
Thanks for this contest, I’m having fun just reading the comments!
Hi Robin,
I live in the USA . I seem to reach for my bottle of Cristobal now and again just because… I would like to get away again to my favorite quiet beach in NC, North Topsail. So serene and close 😉
I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address. Amouage Honour Woman was a summer discovery that I plan to keep wearing throughout the winter.
Hi Robin! I almost missed out, as I was packing it in for the day.
I wear PdN’s Eau d’Ete a lot in the winter (and a lot in the summer, which is why I’m about to drain my 2nd bottle…) As for vacation, I’ve been missing San Francisco lately and may need to make it part of my future travels.
I live in the US and you have permission to use the email associated with my account.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
I live in the US. I rarely wear summer fragrances in the winter because I love deep, rich orientals, tobaccos and leathers. So the cold weather is my perfume playtime. But, every so often, I’ll reach for a rich green fragrance (Chanel 19) or a tropical (Amaranthine), just for a change.
I live in the US, and I would love to go to the Seychelles on my next vacation…that or Midway in the Pacific.
Thanks. I live in the US. I wore Ca Sent Beau with this one green sweater a lot last winter. They just went together. I’d like to go to East Africa…
I live in the US.
I’ve recently, about a month ago, fallen for Calyx and I am OBSESSED with it! It’s freezing in my neck of the woods at the moment and Calyx is all I’ve been wearing. Is Calyx considered a summer scent? I think so. Ha! L’Artisan Batucada sounds AMAZING! Gimme gimme! Thanks! : )
I live in the U.S and plan to visit Vietnam on my next vacation to see the birthplace of our dear son, whom we adopted 16 years ago. Thanks for a wonderful blog.
I live in the US, for the next vacation, I would love to go to the Safari! I wear all my perfumes year round, especially I live in a place where there’s not much season changes:)
I live in the USA. My fav summer time scent to wear in winter is Jalaine’s Citrus Dream. My firefighter husband was disabled in a house fire, so we won’t be able to do anymore vacations….
I live in the USA, you have permission to contact me via my email account, etc. 🙂 I tend to ignore seasons when I wear my scents… and as much as I would love to return to Paris, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, and Madrid for my next vacation, I have not seen my relatives in a decade, and one of my cousins recently gave birth to an adorable baby girl, so my heart is screaming at me that my next vacation needs to be to Mexico City.
I live in the US. Next vacation will be Rome (can’t wait) in February. I’m wearing L’Artisan Mon Numero 6 right now and love it!
I live in the US
I would love to go to Italy…Bella Italia!
I live in the USA….
My favorite summer scent to lift my spirits during the doldrums of winter is Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger. Not only is it the essence of summer in a bottle (I live in California) but, I purchased it during a wonderful summer vacation years ago in London. It never fails to make me happy when skies are gray!
I live in the US. I love gardenia and tuberose scents in the winter. I would love for my next vacay to be in France, but I think its gonna be a couple years. Thanks Robin!
I live in the US and I’d like to go to India for my next vacation! Thank you for making the draw available! 😀
I live in the US and hopefully my next vacation will be an awesome honeymoon in Italy, France or England-or maybe all 3! Thanks for the giveaway.
I live in the US. One summery scent that I’m happily wearing in the cooler weather (I wore it today in the low 40s) is Escale a Pondichery. I am tea drinker and have searched far and wide for a good citrus and black tea scent that isn’t cloying and really allows the tea note to shine. I wear EaP a lot in the summer because it’s breezy and unoffensive in the heat and humidity, but I also find it very comforting and cozy in the winter.
Among the many places I’d like to travel is Japan, and especially northern Japan. I love Japanese art, architecture and design, and have always been intrigued by the stunning landscapes in photos of Hokkaido.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
I live in the US
1. I like to wear salvatore ferragamo’s incanto charms and incanto dreams during the winter.
2. I would love to vist prague, or paris and spain to visit friends.
I live in the US. I like to wear Eau d’Hadrien in the winter. I like citrus and snow.
I live in the US and I wear 4711 even in deep-freeze weather. Thanks for the giveaway.
I live in the US. I wear L’Artisan La chasse aux Papillion year round.
St. Maartin is where i will vacation to next.
I live in the US and you have my permission to email me should i be the lucky winner. I continue to use Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Manderin Basilic perfume in the winter. We dont get a real winter here, a little like Florida in terms of the air gets cooler and we get rain.
Thank you for the lovely giveaway! 🙂
I live in the US, and I love a bright, sunny blast of orange or apricot in the winter, such as the citrus opening of YSL Cinema.
You Have Permission to use my current E-Mail address and I live in the United States, Southfield, Michigan… In fact.
I Don’t wear any fragrance Seasonally… I Just wear what i feel like smelling like that day, owing that i have about 45-50 scents in my wardrobe… I change scent every day with what the mood strikes… for my Next Vacation… it’s either San Francisco or Chicago…
Thank You!
I live in the U.S….I’ve been wearing the last few drops of my beloved Creed Virgin Island Water. I adore Coconut and Lime scents. I am saving up for a trip to Turks and Caicos….ahh, love. : )
I live in the US and you have permission to use my e-mail address in my profile.
My favorite summer fragrance in winter would be a relatively uncomplicated tropical soliflore such as Kai perfume oil.
I live in the US. I like to wear fig scents in winter – the greener the better. Next vacation? I’d love to go back to South Africa.
I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address.
a) a summer fragrance you like to wear in winter
I’m actually looking forward to being able to wear my unsuitable-for-summer fragrances. But, one I like in summer as well as winter is Calvin Klein’s Eternity. I like it alot.
b) where you’d like to go on your next vacation
I would like to go somewhere beachy. Bora Bora sounds dreamy, but it also sounds expensive. Even driving down to Coronado sounds good about now. Even better is going to Hawaii or Florida.
I like to wear Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca during the winter. I don’t know why I associate this perfme with Chrsitmas, although it is very summery. I would love to go to Italy next year. We have planned it for the last couple of years , but something comes up and the it is on to the next year.
I live in the U.S.
I live in the US and you can use my email addy on file.
I like to wear tropicals in the winter, like Carnal Flower and EL PC Tuberose & Gardenia.
My next vacation is a staycation but after than I am going to LA and will finally visit Scentbar!! And hopefully the Opus Jitterbug Perfume Parlor.
I live in the U.S.A.!
I love Chanel Beige in the winter.
I would love to go to Paris!
Wow, what a great prize draw, thanks and please enter me! I live in the U.S. and you have permission to use the e-mail address associated with my account.
I intend to wear my new summer favorites, Nectar des Iles and Vents Ardents from En Voyage Perfumes, all year long. They are just too good to save for summer!
And as always, my dream vacation would be somewhere in the South Seas like Tahiti or Hawaii, but I will probably have to settle for a long weekend on the Oregon coast. The southernmost section of it is so balmy and nice I would be happy going there anyway, and there is so much to explore I know it would be a wonderful trip.
I live in the U.S. My fave fragrance in winter is Mandarin Basilic.
Yep, I live in the U.S. After years of not understanding why I don’t love what others love, I figured out that sillage monsters are not for me. So I wear summer fragrances all year ’round, including Guerlain’s Terra Cotta. It’s hard to find in the winter, I may have to buy an extra.
I live in the U.S.A.
I like to wear Thierry Mugler Cologne in cold weather.
My favorite summer/winter perfume is Eau de Pamplemousse Rose. I have a mailing address in the US, if it’s OK.
Thanks for the draw.
I live in the U.S. and I would like to go to New York.
I live in the US, and while my next trip is to England I’d love to be visiting somewhere warm and sunny!
I live in the US. Hoping my next vacation is Paris.
I live in the US.
I’m more likely to wear winter scents in summer than the other way around. Parfum Sacré in July reminds me of a cat I once had who liked to climb out the window and bask on an asphalt roof in baking heat, making me look for the little kitty beach towel and transistor radio. On the other hand, I suppose Mandragore is summery and I wear it all year.
Next vacation? I just used up my travel budget for years on Shetland and Orkney, and I want to go back.
I live in the USA. My next vacation will probably be to North Carolina to visit a friend from college.
Hi! I live in the US. I don’t seem to agree with summer light green florals. I’d love to find one.
I haven’t sniffed Batucada yet, but it sounds like a warm tropical island escape!
I am headed to Florida next week for Thanksgiving to visit my inlaws but sooooo wish I was off to romantic Barcelona instead.
I live in the USA!
Favorite summer scent in winter…. Eau d’Orange Verte
Next vacation…. Dubai?
I live in the US! I like wearing Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey Bath Oil. It’s very moisturizing for winter but smells like the best of summer.
I live in the US. I love to wear Osmanthe Yunnan and Sel de Vetiver year round. My next vacation will likely Montreal. Thanks for the great drawing.
I live in the U.S.
I thought Atelier’s Orange Sanguine was perfect for summer, but I’ve been craving it in cold weather, too.
I live in the US. I actually prefer summer scents in the winter a lot of the time. Instead of wearing something to feel warm and cozy, I want something to remind me of bright, sunny days. Lately I’ve been breaking out the more spritely aldehydes, like ELdO Vraie Blonde, Yvresse, and today I’m wearing BB Nude.
I live in the US. :3
I’m “vacationing” in New Orleans for a few days next week, but I’d love to go to Australia again. It’s been maybe ten years. Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to afford it again, though.
I live in the USA!!!
***Fingers crossed!***
I live in the USA =) umm my favorite summer fragrance that i like to wear in the winter is Bronze Goddess… Its what summer should always smell like, its like a mini vacation in a bottle!!
Thanks Robin!!!
I live the US and you have permission to use my email address.
My favorite summer fragrance to wear during the winter is Gap’s Heaven!
I live in the USA.
During the winter, I like to use Clinque Happy, and sometimes EL Pleasures:)
I would like for my next vacation to be to London, England, but that is just dreaming right now!
Living in the U.S.
Les nuits Eau d’Hadrien Is my go- to summer-frag-in-winter; like to spritz a little on my hair so it lasts longer.
Fantasy vacation, Greece. Reality vacation, and trust me this is by no means a compromise, the Big Island.
I live in the US and you can most certainly use my email if I win.
I like EL Bronze Goddess for a a summer scent in winter.
I live in the US and you can use my email in case I win.
Eau d’Orange Verte from Hermes works well for me also in winter.
Hope to visit Hanalei Bay on Kaua’i northshore in Hawai’i again soon.
I live in the US. There are so many places I want to go! I have never been to Europe, so it is atop my list. (But I am heading on a Disney road trip to Florida in a few weeks with my kiddos- first time : )
I live in the U.S.
1) I LOVE to use summer fragrances in the winter in order to counteract all the cloudy and cold. (Denial. It’s a way of life.) ElizabethW Sweet Tea, Bahiana, Pamplemousse Rose, Osmanthus Yunnan, Divine Bergamot, Carnal Flower.
2) Next vacation: not planned yet. Maybe California? Would love to get to Europe!
Thanks so much for the draw!
Hello, Robin. Your wonderful giveaway has cured me of lurking! I live in the U.S. and would like to travel to Spain for my next vacation.
I live in the US and you have my permission to use the email address in my reader account to contact me.
I enjoy wearing Prada’s Leau Ambree in the winter as well as in the summer. Thanks for the draw.
I live in the US and you can use my email in case I win. Next vacation: Florence and Rome…
Thanks for the draw Robin!
I live in the US and read your posts even when I am overseas:). My favorite summer fragrance for any season is Annick Goutal Le Chevrefeuille, and my next destination is Prague.
I live in the U.S.A.
I wear all my fragrances throughout the year. When I wear heavier scents in the summer, I use less. When I wear lighter scents in the colder months, I lavish them on. I live in northern Wisconsin so warm weather is not in abundance.
On my next vacation I would like to visit my son in South Korea.
Thank you.
I live in the U.S. and I was in Brazil last summer. I would like to go back, of course, wearing this fragrance!!! But this time to Rio…
Well, I am off to a good start here leaving my comment in the wrong spot at first where it makes no sense. I live in the Northeast US where it is cold a lot. I would really love to go to Southern Italy on my next vacation. Perhaps Puglia to bask in the sun on the terrace overlooking the ocean.
I live in the U.S. and I tend to lighter fragrances in the summer and heavier ones in the winter.
I live in the U.S. and of course you have permission to contact me. I am in the Pacific Northwest so I tend to wear the same perfumes all the time. I love Eau de Guerlain always. It’s an instant mood lifter.
Thanks for putting the offer out! I live in the United States, and I would love to travel to Hawaii and Ireland next year. I definitely have cold weather fragrances that I love to wear at this time, beginning with Eau d’Hermes. Pick me!
I live in the US! I don’t really have a summer favorite that I wear in the winter, but one fragrance that I associate with spring – Iris Pallida – I like to wear all year. I’ve always wanted to go to Italy, especially Venice and any of the rustic villages where the mountains meet the sea. What an awesome draw – I’m dying to try this scent! Thanks Robin!
I live in the US. I’d like to go to costa rica for a vacation. No summer frags during the winter for me…it’s all dense spiced gourmand richness. Thanks for the contest!
I live in the U.S. I’m dreaming of heading on a tour-de-force of Europe as my next vacation – England, Spain, France!
I live in the US, but would love to go to Italy. I wear Crisatlle in the winter. Spritz twice. Every time I see this ‘fume, I sing Heart’s “Barracuda”.
I live in the US and when I’m feeling down about winter I just turn the thermostat up to 85 and take a quick bath in Creed’s Virgin Island Water (a similarly lime, coconut, and light florals fragrance).
I live in the USA!
My summer fragrance that I am still wearing into fall and plan to wear into winter is Estee Lauder’s BRONZE GODDESS. It cheers me up on dreary days.
I live in the US and I like Missoni in the winter to cheer up.
I live in the US, and one of my favorite summer/winter perfumes is Miss Dior Cherie. 🙂
I’d love to win this! I live in the U.S. My favorite “summer” fragrance to wear in the winter is PdE Osmanthus Interdite.

I live in the U.S. Next vacation? Would love to visit mountains . . . Colorado or Montana maybe?
Hi, Robin:
Your generous offer has prompted me to de-lurk! (I’ve been silently enjoying the blog for several years now.)
I live in the US, and I probably should try a summer scent to cheer up during the winter. For now, though, I’ll just keep dabbing on AT’s Lonestar Memories…
As for travel, I’m hoping to visit South Africa next year!
I live in the U.S.A! When I am feeling the winter blahs I like putting on Sicily by D&G.It just seems so soft and springy to me.
I live in the US. I’ll like to go to Iceland for my next trip.
I live in the US and you can use my email address.
I think of Cristalle as a summer fragrance and do use it in the winter. I’m going to Orlando on my next vacation, and I hear there is a Guerlain boutique in Epcot! Good to know.
I live in the US! I like to wear Hermes Un Jardin en Mediterranee or Ava Luxe Figuer in the wintertime when it gets too grey, and I’d love for my next vacation to be in Paris…
I live in the US. A Summer fragrance that I like to wear in Winter would be Soleil de Capri. I would like to go on holiday to the Cook Islands.
I live in the US, would love to take my next vacation in Spain, and consider Ormonde Jayne Woman my off-season scent in winter.
I live in the U.S.! I’m loooong overdue for a vacation! I would love for my next vacation to be in Hawaii.
I love wearing Thierry Mugler’s Cologne in the winter. It’s so fresh, but it also has this muskiness that makes it linger even in the cold air. And I live in the USA!
Fun! I live in the US and would love to be in this draw.
I wear Element of Surprise by Creative Universe all year round – it smells like summer to me with its citrus and tea, but lasts really well for a fragrance in that category!
I love wearing Paul Smith Rose Summer Edition in the dead of winter. Just looking at the bright yellow bottle puts me in a summery mood.
(did i mention I live in the US?)
I live in the US and like wearing Bvlgari’s Rose Essentielle. I wore it to my January wedding.
I live in the U.S.
Summer fragrance for Winter: Rem by Reminiscence
Hi, I live in the United States — in an arid mountain state, and I’d love to take my next vacation near a warm, lush, beautiful beach with fragrant flowers and plants everywhere.
I live in the U.S. My favorite summer fragrance to wear in the winter is L’A Premier Figuier Extreme. I love the sandalwood dry down.
Hello! I live in the US, and I’m trying to find a summer perfume to wear in the winter. Generally it’s all the winter perfumes trying to sneak in the summer, but I like to wear Bois Farine year round. And I’d love to go back to Istanbul for my next vacation.
I live in the US. Yesterday, in fact, I wore some EL’s Bronze Goddess. I do tend to love winter fumes more though- the amber, the vanilla!
Hi Robin.
I like to wear AC Grand Neroli in the winter.
I live in the US.
Thanks.
I do, indeed, live in the U.S.–although lately I sometimes wish I could call another country home. The fragrance that most people think of as “summery” but thatI love to wear whenever my mood needs a lift is Bvlgari’s Au The Blanc.
I live in the US

My next vacation will be to Chile
I want to go to Seville!
I live in the US.
Thanks Robin.

I also enjoy wearing Fracas in the winter. it’s such a beautiful floral, but there’s a rich warmth to it that makes it cozy for winter as well. hope I haven’t missed the contest!
I live in the US and I’d love to be in the draw.
I love to wear something like Bond Fire Island in the winter… takes me right to the beach (though I live on the California coast and we can actually sometimes manage to have beach weather in January).
i live in the U.S. … summer perfume in winter: oh, an occasional splash of Jo Malone Lime Basic Mandarin to wake me up on a gray day or Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil; vacation? I want pink sand beaches, maybe Bermuda. Is their sand pink? xoxo
I live in the US. I plan to wear Mary Greenwell Plum all winter . . . At least in rotation. We just got home today from a long weekend on Amelia Island (Florida), so I doubt whether I should even put a single thought to another getaway.
I live in the US! Use my email! I use Kenzo Air all winter, along with TokyoMilk Gin and Rosewater fora a little citrus burst…although I do live in South Florida so maybe my vote doesn’t count!
I live in the US. For my next vacation: anywhere! However, that looks unlikely, so maybe I can just take a trip to Brazil with Batacuda. 🙂
Thanks for hosting this!
I live in the US. Next vacation, to Spain, to redo a backpacking trip I did at 20! This time, no hostels or grocery shopping.
i would love this!
i live in the US, and my favorite summertime scent to wear in the winter is CSPs pamplemousse….very uplifting on a cold grey February day.
and i’d love to go to the florida keys.
Hi, I live in the U.S. and my favorite “supposed” summertime fragrance (that I actually only wear during the fall and winter months) is vintage Caron Bellodgia. I think the clove note makes it appropriate to wear during cooler temperatures and love how the scent lingers on cashmere.
I have been curious about Batucada since first reading about it some time ago. It is very generous of you to do these giveaways. Thanks for the opportunity.
I live in the US and would love to win this. I do not have a favorite summer fragrance, I prefer winter fragrances.
My next vacation is going to be skiing at Mammoth!!!
I live in the US.
Sometimes I like to wear a lush tropical floral in the middle of winter — usually after it’s dragged on a while and we get a bright sunny and freezing crisp day after a stretch of grey clouds. Something like Songes in EDP for the warmth and vanilla along with the coconut and jasmine.
I livein Michigan. The summer fragrance I like to wear in winter is gin & rosewater by Tokyo Milk.
I live in the US. A summer fragrance I like to wear in winter is Celine Oriental Summer.
I live in the U.S. I like to wear Diorissimo sometimes in winter – I bought it at the duty-free shop on the way to the Yucatan one year, and it always makes me feel like I’m on a wonderful vacation. Wouldn’t mind going there for my next vacation, come to think of it….
I live in the U.S.
Love Estee Lauder Private Collection Jasmine White Moss, it’s my antidote to the frozen ground.
I live in the US. My favorite summer fragrance to wear in the winter is Marc Jacobs Essense.

I live in the USA. I would love to go someplace tropical. And wear bronze goddess.
I live in the USA. I’d like to vacation in Spain. Summer scent for all year? Atelier Orange Sanguine. Thanks for the opportunity!
I live in the US. a.) I like to wear Aqua Universalis, by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, no matter the season; it’s clean, fresh, and light, but not too light even in the winter. b.) I’d like to travel to Istanbul on my next trip (with a chance to cross the Bosphorus in person).
I live in the US, my favorite winter pick-me-up is Demeter’s Wet Garden for that fresh, dirty spring smell, and I would love to go to Scotland asap!
I live in the US. I like Bonte’s Bloom in winter and I would love to go to Paris..someday.
I live in the US. Geranium Pour Monsieur by Editions de Parfums. It makes the chilled winter even icier!
