Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue. Been around for ages, but lovely fresh summer scent.

I don't know if DF do them, but try Les Senteurs and Annick Goutal. They do lovely seasonal flowery summer scents, rather intr'sting, but super-fresh without that Jif thang.

Versace Bright Crystal. Fresh and floral. I've never smelt anything quite like it.

Paul Smith Rose. Lovely and light and fresh. If you like roses. If you don't, er, it's not for you.

Bvlgari omnia coral is my current favourite. Difficult to describe - fruity/tropical floral. Had someone ask me today what I was wearing as they said it smelt really refreshing.

It won't help you with your duty free shopping but I've just got the Yves Rocher rose one, as recommended by a few people on here, and it's lovely - a very light rose, not particularly sweet smelling.

Yes, MJ Daisy for me too. I like Dot as well for a summer scent

Just in love with the brand new Dior addict eau sensuelle I've been complimented three times since buying it on Tuesday and it really is summertime lightness with a balance of femeninity - really, really pretty.

I've got the Yves Rocher Rose, it's lovely. I really like the Lilac and the Honeysuckle as well.

on a really hot day I wear Serge Lutens Fleurs de Citronnier - its a beautiful, strong lemon flower fragrance. Smells a bit like disinfectant at first and doesn't seem to be right unless the day is extremely hot.

He also does Fleurs de Oranger which is orange blossoms but I can't bear it as its got cumin in it which smells like cats pee to me. Yuck!

On a hot night, Serge Lutens Tubereuse Criminelle is a very sexy, sultry fragrance

Guerlain Herba Fresca and Clarins Eau des Jardins, both gorgeous and fresh smelling and easily available in DF. Oh and Cristalle by Chanel.
