If you love perfumes but don't own one of these solar scents, you're missing out.

When I think of fragrance families, a few major scents come to mind: floral, amber, woodsy, and fresh. These fragrance families are pretty comprehensive, but they're also very classic and simple, which means they don't leave much room for innovative, unique, and downright weird scents.

One ​​of my favorite fragrance families is newer to the scene. Solar scents are exactly what they sound like: they evoke sunny, golden days spent outside. These fragrances don't fit perfectly in a box, as they borrow notes from other fragrance families to create warm, sunny scents, so many of them smell very different from each other. Spritz on sunscreen perfume whenever you're having a bad day - they're sure to bring a burst of sunshine.
