In the Israeli summer, the sun works overtime, and choosing a perfume is quite a challenge. It seems that this environment inspires fragrance brands to launch a variety of fresh and light perfumes that really perform in the hot season. We tested the new scents and discovered some very surprising things.

The brand and the crocodile logo add a new perfume to their series. Here too, you get a fragrance inspired by the classic polo shirts with the crocodile logo. The new scent includes goodies like lavender, herbs, vetiver, mandarin, cedar, and geranium. This whole mix creates a perfect harmony of a woody scent with a super subtle sweetness that surprises, and despite its lightness, it lasts for a long time.

It seems there is no perfume that screams summer more than the iconic Light Blue in the transparent bottle with the blue cap from the Italian designer duo. The perfume, launched in 2007, contains bergamot, grapefruit, and rosemary, and is considered a true classic. Later came Light Blue Capri in Love, which offered a combination of sea breeze and mild spiciness – a scent that includes fig and patchouli. Now these perfumes get a version that delivers stronger scent longevity. We sampled the two perfumes, characterized by their lightness, and found that the lightness remains, but the updated version brings a stronger and more powerful presence that does not hurry to leave.
