Summertime, and the perfume is easy…
In summer, the senses are heightened, and fragrances become an inherent part of our vacation memories. Memories of the sea, fresh flowers, sunscreen and coconut... Yes, perfumes and scents have the extraordinary power to capture our memories, engage our senses and intensify our emotions.
So, what perfume to wear on those long, warm sunny days? Light, floral or fruity fragrances? Fragrance is totally subjective; that’s a given, and yet, summertime fragrances usually fall into the floral or citrus families. Common summer perfume notes include orange blossom, mandarin and grapefruit, and the fresh florals, like jasmine, peony and tuberose.
How to Choose Your Summer Perfume?
If you are the type of women who choose their perfume according to their clothing style, you might want to look for lightness or a bit of exoticism when shopping for their summer fragrance, like light summer outfits that announce the start of the holidays, which often go hand in hand with the desire to discover new sensations, mostly fresh perfume.
Tip: If you have a favorite perfume that you use in winter as eau de parfum, in summer you could go for the same fragrance but in a summerish version: eau de toilette or eau fraiche.
If you’re the adventurous type and rather take a break from the usual, and completely change your style of perfume during summer, then go for fresh and floral fragrances, even eaux fraiches or eaux de cologne. Pick fragrances typical to summer holidays, such as solar scents and marine notes.

Tips to make your perfume last longer
1. MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN
If you perfume yourself after using your body lotion, the fragrances will be captured by the fatty substance of the cream, and the smell will linger much longer on the skin. Which is not the case if you perfume directly on dry skin!
2. BE STRATEGIC
Strategically choose the “hot” areas of your body, those that retain the fragrances longer. These are the neck, chest, behind the ears, the wrists, and the inside of the elbows. You can also perfume your ankles and the back of your knees.
3. PERFUME YOUR BRUSH
Hair makes a perfume last longer. But do not spray your perfume directly on your hair; instead, spray the perfume on your hairbrush, and then brush your hair.
4. PERFUME YOUR CLOTHES
If you want to make your perfume last longer, spray a little in your cupboards and drawers; the fibers in your clothes retain odors longer. Be careful all the same with cashmere, silk, and white clothes, which could have nasty stains if sprayed directly.
5. MIX RELATED PRODUCTS
Today, more and more brands are releasing complete ranges of derivative perfume products like body creams, shower gels, deodorants, etc. Use them to make your perfume last longer, you will smell good all day and all night!
6. CHOOSE YOUR PERFUME WELL
You should know that on average, an eau de toilette is composed of aromatic essences up to 7 to 12%. The eau de parfum is concentrated between 12 and 20%, while the perfume displays a rate that varies between 20 and 40%. Certain skin types retain perfumes more easily than others. As the skin is a living, breathing and transpiring organ, this can influence the way it retains scent. If your skin tends to easily retain odors, go for an eau de toilette, because it will last longer on your skin.
