The Summer I Turned Pretty is a very popular television series based on the novel series by Jenny Han. It revolves around Belly Conklin, and her summer trips to a beach house with her mother and brother, where she reunites with her mother’s best friend’s sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Over the course of the summers, Belly finds herself caught in a love triangle between the two brothers, and must navigate the complicated relationships that come with it.
The show portrays the challenges of growing up and discovering one’s own identity, as well as the importance of family and friendship. With a mix of drama, romance, and coming-of-age themes, The Summer I Turned Pretty is a captivating and relatable story for audiences of all ages.
The Summer I Turned Pretty is available only on Amazon Prime. Season 1 was released June 17, 2022 and Season 2 premiers July 14, 2023.
The Summer I Turned Pretty was undoubtedly made even more popular when Taylor Swift shared the Season 2 trailer, with the caption “Crying (Taylor’s Version)“. Taylor Swift’s tweet gained over 12 million views in less than a day.
The trailer of The Summer I Turned Pretty features several of Taylor’s songs – specifically “August” and “Back to December” (a sneak-peak from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), which releases July 7.)
So Taylor Swift has collaborated with The Summer I Turned Pretty series, but she’s not the only one.
One of our favorite perfume brands, Skylar, also collaborated with the new season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Skylar is the “official fragrance for the series”. From the press release:
“Skylar invites viewers to experience the story’s magic through scent and be transported to the idyllic world of Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah.
Skylar has introduced three limited edition rollerballs to evoke the feeling of summer that brings you into the magical world of Cousins Beach, featuring fragrances Salt Air, Boardwalk Delight, and Capri Summer reimagined with The Summer I Turned Pretty branding. Each scent captures the coastal magic of sweet memories, endless smiles, and breezy days under the sun. Hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin, these eco-friendly, vegan and cruelty-free scents allow show fans to carry a piece of the series wherever they go.”
We are already obsessed with Skylar perfumes, but are absolutely in love with this limited-edition packaging! Even better, they cost the same as the normal Skylar roller-balls ($30). Skylar is sold at Sephora, but The Summer I Turned Pretty perfume is only available on their website or Amazon.
So what do they smell like?
Salt Air:
Smells like a breath of fresh, clean air.
Key Notes: Driftwood, Sea Salt, Seaweed
Fragrance Description: Emerging from the ocean with a fresh frame of mind. It’s the smell of endless summers and breezy days, the ones that flood your senses with serenity any time you come within a mile of the ocean. Salt Air is the scent of a perfect seascape, with grounding driftwood and green seaweed mingling with the minerals of sea salt and warm sand, while light floral notes of water lily float on top. Bring the healing powers of the sea with you everywhere you go.
Skylar Salt Air is one of our faves. It’s a easy grab for an everyday perfume (for both men and women). Check out the dent in our full-sized bottle!
