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.

For a Block Party
The pick: Korres Bellflower Tangerine Pink Pepper Eau de Toilette, $38.50

The vibe: Who's got spirit? Your entire block. Your street is flooded with food, music and friendly neighbors. Though it's a casual get-together, let's be honest: you kind of want to one-up that couple down the street. Don't worry, you don't need to break out grandma's supercomplicated-but-delicious mini quiche lorraine recipe. Simply top your carefully planned "I just threw this on" look with this unique blend of tangerine, pink pepper and cedarwood -- it stands out without trying too hard.

For an Instagram-Worthy Brunch
The pick: Grace by Grace Coddington, $145

The vibe: Bottomless mimosas and stacks on stacks of pancakes, preferably served outdoors. No one is allowed to dig in until you've captured a shot that's 'grammable, but they're so busy complimenting your delicate new rose-inspired perfume that they don't even notice. Notes of mint, basil, Moroccan rose absolute, freesia and white musks are at once feminine and grounded.

For a Technology Detox
The pick: Hollybeth Organics Flourish Calming Perfume, $60

The vibe: You need a serious detox from the city, and a secluded getaway in nature with your S.O. and without cell reception is called for. Your days are spent hiking and communing with animals; your nights by the crackling campfire, admiring the stars.

This 100 percent organic perfume is made from essential oils of marjoram and geranium. Their calming abilities will help send you deep into blissful relaxation -- that's what you trekked out into the middle of the woods for -- and get rid of any lingering anxiety about going smartphone-free.
