The right fragrance can affect your mood, trigger old memories, and even help define your personality. However, regardless of how much love you have for the scent, you cannot wear it throughout the year. Just as you change your beauty products depending on the weather, you should also do the same for perfumes. During summer, the high heat tends to affect fragrances as they evaporate faster and project further. You should, therefore, avoid scents that are too potent as they can become overwhelming.

Best Summer PerfumesDuring the warm months, it is best to use lighter and more refreshing fragrances. Here are some perfume selections that you can use during summer.

Wearing Scents During Summer

During summer, you can wear fragrances with some white light florals, but you should avoid any sickly sweet aromas. You should also avoid heavy blends such as vanilla, patchouli, and some sugary aromas. Since perfumes evaporate quickly in summer, you should first layer your skin with a moisturizer or body lotion before applying the perfumes. It gives the fragrance a place to hold on to.

You should as well try not to use scented soaps or creams so that your perfume cannot compete for dominance. If your skin is sensitive, a reaction may occur whenever you apply perfume during summer. Whenever the sweat and scent mixes, a reaction can occur on the skin surface and irritate. You can then spay it on the base of your hair as the scent will stay for long without having to touch the skin.

If you do not have sensitive skin, you can apply your perfume on areas that have good circulation and warmth such as the throat, behind the knees, inside the elbows, and on the wrists. For your scent to stay locked down for long, ensure that your skin is well hydrated by using an excellent moisturizer.

Summing Up

When choosing a perfume, there are more things you need to consider apart from a pleasant smell. You should find how the weather affects the scent. Warm weather has an effect on your skin chemistry, therefore, making fragrances you use during winter not effective during summer. A perfume may feel fresh, crispy, and heighten your mood during winter, but when it mixes with sweat in the summer, it may become overwhelming. You should, therefore, opt for summer scents during summers such as perfumes with some fruit and floral notes.
