I have been after a new summer perfume for a little while now. Although I love the scent of my NUXE Prodigieux Le Parfum (the most beautiful, warm summer smell and my all-time favourite) it just doesn’t last on my skin.
I was looking for something that had the same heady warmth as the Prodigieux Le Parfum, but that would last the whole day through. After spritzing Ghost Eclipse in my local department store, I was happy to find it was still going strong by the time I got home, so I picked it up on Amazon the following day.
Although a little fresher, with notes of freesia, lotus flower and rose, than the NUXE Prodigieux Le Parfum there is still a warmth to Eclipse that is perfect for the summer heat.
On my skin I can pick out the notes of sweet bergamot, mandarin, amber, peach and musk giving the scent a tropical feel. Add into the mix a little lemon and apple, to cut through all that and add a touch of freshness – its my perfect summer daytime or evening perfume.
Let’s not forget that Ghost is an affordable perfume brand at only £19.95 for 30ml, with stunning packaging! I can’t wait to set this on my dressing table and dream of distant sunsets over an island beach!
What is your summer scent this year? Let me know in the comments so I can add another bottle to my wishlist!

This sounds like a wonderful scent! For the summer, I’ve been using “Vanilla Summer” by LAVANILA, but was looking to change it up soon. Thanks for the recommendation! Great meeting you at the #lbloggers chat today too, keep in touch! x

Hi Emily!
I’ve heard so much about the Lavanila products, I’d love to give one a try!
I’m glad you liked the post :)
It was lovely to meet you too! – Definitely keep in touch!

Haven’t come across this fragrance before, will be sure to give it a try the next time I’m out and about. I enjoy Marc Jacobs Daisy in the summer. It apparently lasts all day, it gets to the point where I can’t smell it but I’m told everyone else can. Could that possibly be the case with NUXE when you wear it?

It’s one I had heard a lot about last year, but just picked it up on the off chance and loved it!
You might be right about the NUXE perfume, although even my partner says he can barely smell it on me – such a shame because its gorgeous just after you’ve sprayed it!
Thank you for your comment!
