Perfume is an if-fy thing in summer (there's that problem rashes and hyper-pigmentation) but for those who just don't care to do without, the only problem is which of the new summer fragrances to choose -- or a fresh and fruity summer edition of a winter favorite.
To satisfy women ardently loyal to a particular scent, many labels have come up with alcohol-free eau de toilettes which bear a traditional stamp. They are all enriched with protective moisturizers such as aloe vera and can be worn in the sun without running the risk of the drying and blotching all too common in summer. These no-alcohol, no-nonsense scents make sense in terms in skin care as well as the all-day, fresh fragrance of Mediterranean citrus.

Fendi's Life Essence Eau Fraīche
This alcohol-free eau de toilette is made entirely of natural ingredients, making it perfect for the most sensitive skins. Its ultra-fresh, delicate fragrance draws on cardamom, citron, geranium and coriander.

Etro's Vicolo Fiori
Vicolo Fiori is a pleasant alternative to a day alone with less pleasant summer-in-the-city realities. It's sprightly and refreshing bouquet is spiked with tangerine and water lily.

Gucci's Envy alcohol-free Sun Mist
Lily of the Valley, jasmine and a touch of aloe vera are combined in this summer version of Envy.
