Use this guide to help you find your signature scent to get you through the hot days ahead.
Tips for Choosing a Scent for Summer
Consider the Fragrance Family
Summer fragrances aren't in the same olfactory family and the ones you gravitate to when it's cold outside. You're looking for scents with floral notes, as well as perfumes for women that evoke the sea, sand, and trees. At the same time, summer is the ideal time to opt for a fresh fragrance that is light and full.
Some great examples include frangipani, citrus notes, gardenia or magnolia. Fruity scents like watermelon, peach, melon or passionfruit are also ideal choices for the warmer months of summer. One word of caution is to stay away from coconut, or you run the risk of smelling like sunscreen.
Pay Attention to the Concentration
Fragrances come in different concentrations, with two main ones to consider. The first is eau de toilette, with four to eight percent concentrations of the aromatic elements in the perfume. The second is eau de parfum, which contains eight to 15 percent of the substances that scent the product.
For a hot summer, the perfect fragrance strength is eau de toilette, which is lighter and fresher. It doesn't produce an overwhelming scent, which can happen with eau de parfum when it's hot and sweaty outside. Rather than a traditional perfume, consider a body spray or body mist that has just a touch of your favorite fragrance for summer, whether it's an aquatic scent or fruity notes. If you're not sure, consult a fragrance expert.
Wear it Low and Spare
You're not going to want to bathe in your summer scent for everyday wear. If you're tempted to spray it in your hair, on your neck and shoulders and along your chest, summer is the ideal time to try something new. Whatever iconic fragrance you choose, spritz lower, such as along your hemline, your stomach or legs, and you're going to get a light scent without blowing anyone away with your fragrance.
Don't Wear Too Many Scented Products
Make sure you consider all of the products you use and their scent profiles especially if they are from a competing olfactory family. Piling them all on at once is going to be overwhelming. At the same time, those scents might not work well together, leaving you with a strange odor that isn't nice or summery. Instead, try to incorporate unscented laundry soap and hair products, leaving space for your favorite summer scent to shine through.
Spray the Scent in Your Hair
Hair is the perfect place to spritz your favorite scents. Because your hair has some natural movement, it allows the fragrance to waft as you go through your day. You can buy a dedicated hair mist with the fresh scents you desire for your summer perfumes, or you can simply spray your chosen perfume into your hair.
