How to Choose a Perfume for Summer

A perfume is like a signature. So, how do you choose a perfume for summer? It can reflect a person’s character and leave a lasting impression. For some, the same fragrance accompanies them over the years, while others prefer to renew their scent from time to time. These ideas around a unique perfume have evolved over time. As a result, the fragrance market has become more diverse, and trends have changed.

Today, there is a multitude of fragrances, and many people want to try (almost) all of them. It has become quite common to switch perfumes regularly, whether for an event, a gift, or a change in season. For example, in winter, our preferences often differ from those in summer! Moreover, the heat and perspiration alter our fragrance, prompting us to explore other scents. However, one must be cautious, as some perfumes may not be suitable for sun exposure.

Here are some practical tips to help you choose the ideal perfume for summer!

How to Choose a Perfume for Summer: Go for Lightness and Freshness

In summer, with the heat and perspiration, perfumes evaporate more quickly. As a result, only the heavier and more pronounced notes, the base notes, remain on the skin. It’s advised not to apply too much, as the intensity of the fragrance may increase and ultimately become overwhelming.

How to Choose a Perfume for Summer: Opt for Freshness for a Pleasant Season

The summer heat often sparks a desire for fresh, tonic, and sunny notes, like those that remind you of beach vacations or the scent of warm sand. To keep your fragrance fresh, opt for citrusy or aquatic top notes. However, to prolong the wear of these fragrances that evaporate quickly, it’s better to choose floral heart notes and fruity or musky base notes. This combination will offer you a delicately fragrant summer!

Stay Safe!

Don’t forget to be mindful of the sun’s harmful effects if you’re exposed. Some fragrance molecules can cause skin reactions. To avoid this, choose perfumes that are non-photosensitizing, meaning they don’t react with UV rays. For example, our Fragrance Mists are a great alternative to Eau de Parfums for a day at the beach, as they contain no phthalates, chemical fixatives, or nitro musks. If you prefer walks, apply your favorite Eau de Parfum on your clothes or hair: that way, your skin will stay protected!

Here’s to a beautifully fragrant summer ahead 😊
