Jennifer Aniston on New Fragrance: 'It Reminds Me of a Day Spent in the Ocean'

If you’re looking for a new scent to wear this summer, Jennifer Aniston has one you might want to consider. The actress just launched her second fragrance, J by Jennifer Aniston, an alternative to those fruity perfumes that are associated with the season.

“My debut fragrance is a clean, feminine perfume — it reminds me of the way you smell when you just arrive at the beach: fresh, with a touch of sunblock and sand,” Aniston tells PEOPLE. “This new fragrance is its complement. It has a hint of that salty sea smell that reminds me of a day spent in the ocean. It’s relaxed and refreshing.”

And the ombré blue glass bottle totally matches up with Aniston’s seashore vision. (So do her perfectly tousled tresses featured on the packaging.) The scent blends salty notes with clean florals like waterlily and magnolia and also boasts a layer of sandalwood and vanilla bourbon for more of a musky vibe.

Back in 2011 when her debut eponymous fragrance launched, Aniston told PEOPLE her role as perfumer came naturally. “I wanted to create my own fragrance because for years, I would make scented oils and lotions for my girlfriends for wedding showers, baby showers and birthdays. I would create a personalized scent for them, so when I was offered the opportunity to design my own fragrance I jumped at the chance.”
