Revitalize Your Fragrance Wardrobe This Summer
As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to refresh your fragrance selection. Although spring is still lingering, beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock and I have exchanged insights on our top scents for the warmer season ahead.
In our discussions, McLintock introduced me to her fondness for the clean fragrance brand The 7 Virtues, which boasts a delightful range of fragrances. If summer had a signature scent, it would undoubtedly represent The 7 Virtues. Each fragrance captures a warm, airy vibe that’s perfect for outdoor summer celebrations.
Frankly, finding a clean fragrance brand that resonates with me is uncommon. Many clean options often lack the duration or projection I desire, yet these offerings from The 7 Virtues exceed expectations. Founded by author and activist Barb Stegemann, this brand sources fair-trade, organic, and sustainably harvested essential oils from areas recovering from conflict or natural disasters, imbuing each bottle with genuine care and high-quality ingredients.
After exploring the brand in-depth, it has become one of my top clean fragrance choices. Both McLintock and I have a few standout scents that we’re excited to share, as they are too remarkable to keep to ourselves. If you’re in search of new fragrances to embrace this spring and summer, read on to discover our top picks from The 7 Virtues.

This scent is a delicious indulgence, perfect for those who enjoy gourmand fragrances. The blend of lychee, peony, and vanilla produces a rich combination that embodies summer sweetness.
