Summer break may be a thing of the past for many of us, but just because we don't get three months off doesn't mean our social calendars are less packed. Backyard BBQs, weddings, date nights en plein air ... there's a certain sense of freedom and hopefulness about summer that no other season can match. And since scent is one of the biggest memory triggers, there's no better way to remember these stolen summer moments between work and other responsibilities than a special summer fragrance.

These new perfumes capture the essence of summer, and pair perfectly with the season's most delightful moments. From sweepingly romantic florals to sparkling fruits to seductive musks, there's a fragrance here for every warm-weather occasion.

For an Outdoor BBQ
The pick: Marc Jacobs Pear Splash, $62

The vibe: Summer is here, and you're celebrating the inaugural use of your new grill with plenty of friends and family. The cuisine: classic burgers and hot dogs. This crisp-yet-savory fragrance appeals to that Americana summer vibe. Fresh notes of pear, bergamot, lemon peel and freesia are tempered by teakwood and musk. You'll smell sweeter than the apple pie you've made for dessert.

For a Summer Wedding
The pick: Obsession Summer Calvin Klein, $70

The vibe: Can you feel the love tonight? A sweeping, gorgeous outdoor location brimming with Pinterest-worthy wedding details is the setting for a sunset exchange of vows. The revelry lasts long into the evening.

Such a romantic occasion calls for an equally romantic perfume. Obsession Summer starts off with notes of bergamot accord and green florals that transform into a heady musk by night's end, perfect for seducing your date. Because no one said the bride and groom are the only ones allowed to get frisky on their wedding night.

For Watching Movies in the Park
The pick: Chanel No. 5 L'eau, $132

The vibe: You've decided to switch up your "Netflix and Chill" routine. A bottle of Pinot, a cozy blanket, a classic movie and snuggles with your honey are made all the better because you're enjoying them outside under the stars.

A romantic break from your Friday night tradition calls for an equally upgraded scent. Chanel's iconic No. 5 fragrance becomes summer-ready with light, fresh scents of citrus, rose and jasmine rounded out by vetiver, cedar and cotton.
