L'Occitane Terre de Lumiere 50ml eau de parfum $125
This glowing globe encapsulates a sunny, happy scent. It also marks a significant step in the French brand's fragrant history, moving beyond simple florals, to a more complex construction. It remains earthed in L'Occitane's home of Provence, however, with an appealing lavender honey heart and a name that pays homage to a golden landscape. In L'Occitane boutiques from Monday, visit nz.loccitane.com

Michael Kors Turquoise 50ml eau de parfum $138
Sea, sky and shafts of sunlight are all conjured up by the latest limited edition splash from Michael Kors. Refreshing as a summer breeze, notes of waterlily, cucumber and lime waft atop jasmine and orchid, a pinch of sea salt and a cedar and musky drydown. From selected departments stores and pharmacies.

Tom Ford Private Blend Sole di Positano 50ml eau de parfum $370
Ford's fascination with the Italian coast and all it evokes is explored further in this seventh iteration of his private blend collection, all housed in shades of aqua glass. This one takes on a tourmaline tone for the sensual green citrus floral within. In Smith & Caughey's Queen St and David Jones, Wellington from May.
