When the sun’s crescendo reaches its peak, the world erupts in colour. Tulips stand tall, their petals painted in vibrant hues. Bees hum their lively tune as they flit from bloom to bloom, collecting sweet nectar. And overhead, the sky is a canvas of cerulean blue, brushed with wisps of cloud, a earthly masterpiece in progress.
As the days lengthen, the sun’s warmth becomes more insistent. It coaxes buds from their winter retreat, urging them to unfurl. The Cherry blossoms blush pink, and the Lilacs sway in fragrant waltzes. The sun’s touch is gentle yet persuasive, coaxing life from every crevice of the earth. With these sights come scents that waft lazily through their air, and treat us with their delights.
And there, beneath the sun’s golden gaze, Yuzu trees stretch their limbs. Their fruit like miniature suns, catch the light and release their bursts of Citrus brilliance.
In the fleeting dance of seasons, where the sun’s golden gaze and The Neroli (blossom of the bitter orange tree) seek its vibrant touch, we find a way to capture these ephemeral moments. As the wind rustles through the branches, carrying the tangy passion of Citrus, we are reminded that while seasons may pass, their essence can be preserved.
A premier home fragrance brand that epitomises the fusion of beauty and exceptional scent, NEST New York. They masterfully encapsulate these divine moments with their latest launch the Sunlit Yuzu & Neroli Classic Candle.
The candle’s fragrance is a crafted echo of these short-lived seasons, a tangible reminder of the sun’s nurturing presence. With notes of sunlit Yuzu, Mandarin, and Neroli blossom, this candle is a celebration of light and life, an artful creation that brings the joy and energy of a sun-kissed orchard into our homes, making every day resonate with the spirit of a good day.
In this symphony of seasons, the sun conducts its timeless melody, weaving hope and renewal into every note. And as we engage to find comfort in the sun’s unwavering presence, a reminder that even in the darkest of nights, there is always a dawn waiting to break.
Somewhere else in the world, as the sun marches higher in the sky, its rays reach the sub-tropical region of China, where Lychee trees are laden with juicy fruit. The season of Lychee, typically spanning from May to July, is in full swing, painting the orchards with a palette of vibrant greens pinks and the blush of ripening fruit.
Amidst the backdrop, the Lychee & Rose perfume from NEST New York captures the quintessence of early summer. This effervescent fruity floral fragrance features a vibrant combination of Rose absolute and juicy Lychee, accentuated with the sparkling essence of pink Champagne and a hint of Raspberry. It’s a scent that embodies the freshness of the Lychee harvest and the romance of blooming Roses, making it perfect for the season’s warm beginnings. Light, fresh and illuminating.
As we journey from the Lychee-laden orchards of China to the vibrant landscapes of Brazil, we find ourselves amidst the early summer season. Brazil is situated predominantly in the Southern Hemisphere, a land where the summer season commences with the solstice in December, ushering in a period of warmth and festivity that lasts until March.
During this season, the Brazilian brand Granado stands out as a beacon of tradition and innovation. Established in 1870, Granado has been recognised as the Official Pharmacy of the Brazilian Royal Family and is celebrated for its natural beauty products that pay homage to Brazil’s rich nature.
Granado’s offerings are a reflection of Brazil’s diverse flora and the joyous spirit of its people. Their products, ranging from perfumes and colognes to soaps and lotions, are crafted from local plants, flowers, and herbs, embodying the essence of Brazilian summer in every scent.
Granado’s newest launch, Flora Magnífica Eau de Parfum by Granado is a luxurious fragrance that celebrates the richness of Brazilian biodiversity. It’s a harmonious blend of classic floral scents and bold tropical notes, creating a fresh and green floral aroma.

The perfume exudes natural scents of Rose petals, Jasmine, and Magnolia, while woody notes and Coconut flowers add smoothness and comfort. This Eau de Parfum is composed of 80% natural origin ingredients and is crafted with an extra-neutral alcohol base that preserves the integrity of the olfactory notes.
As we revel in the sensory journey through Granado’s vibrant summer collection, we find another fragrance that captures the essence of a different kind of summer; a season that is opulent.
From the lush jungles of Brazil to the rich landscapes of Turkey, the journey of fragrance is a voyage through time and sensation. At the heart of this odyssey blooms the Damascena Rose, a symbol of beauty and nobility that has captivated the senses for centuries.
This Rose, revered for its exquisite aroma and majestic presence, takes centre stage, embodying the soul of summer, she transcends the ordinary, timeless, opulent, and is deeply feminine.
It is in this spirit that Delina Limited Edition by Parfums de Marly makes its entrance. This special edition of the house’s most noted perfume is a nod to the intricate floral designs that adorned the interiors of the 18th century, with a climbing rose symbolising nature’s enduring triumph. Here see the bottle emblazoned with this motif.
The bottle itself, a collector’s item, is a tribute to that era’s refined artistry in perfumery and the graceful expression of femininity. Delina Limited Edition is not just a fragrance but a piece of history reborn, the rose that lies at its core, now housed in this limited edition bottle that captures the essence of its distinction.
This perfume blooms upon contact with the skin, with the noble Damascena Rose at its heart, enveloped by the sweet symphony of Lychee, Vanilla, and White Musk. It is an aroma that is as complex as it is captivating; a scent that lingers like the memory of a perfect summer day.
In the same breath, we ponder the origins of such natural beauty, our gardens, parks, and farms. These verdant havens are interwoven into our existence, providing, not just a visual feast, but also nurturing our spirits.
When in gardens, we find solace among blooming flowers, their petals reaching for the sun like eager faces. Parks invite us to linger under ancient trees, their leaves whispering stories of seasons past. And on farms, the land labours tirelessly, yielding fruits, vegetables, and grains, the very essence of nourishment.
As we consider the nurturing power of nature, we find the interesting collaboration of Tata Harper and Sky High Farm, which also aims to nourish and care for the skin, much like the sun does for fruits petals and trees.
This Nourishing Hand Cream is crafted to replenish and soothe hard-working hands, providing relief from the wear and tear of daily activities.
It’s a blend of nature’s best, with upcycled Strawberry seed oil to smooth the skin and promote cell regeneration, six butters for deep moisturisation, and Oat ceramides to support barrier function and soften the skin.
Just as this cream restores the hands that toil under the sun, so does the sun itself rejuvenate the world beneath it. As it completes its daily arc, the sun bestows a legacy of vitality and renewal. The Neroli, Jasmine and Rose stand as beacons to its life-giving force, Strawberries, Yuzu and Lychee trees, their fruits ripened to perfection under the sun’s watchful eye.
This season of radiance closes with a promise, a guarantee that the sun will rise again, continuing its cycle of nurturing and inspiring growth. This promise will be held in a bottle or a candle so we can always be with at any time, on any day. It’s a way to hold onto the sun’s warmth and vitality, even when it dips below the horizon. In the quiet afterglow, we reflect on the day’s beauty and the sun’s pivotal role in crafting a world that is ever-renewing, ever-vibrant, and full of hope.
