| The Fragrant Affair Sultry and sunny summer days call for grilling, picnics, long drives, and frolicking at the beach. No matter what your favourite summer pastime, your best accessory is going to be your perfume. Here's what you need to know about summer perfumes. Do I Need a Summer Perfume? Hot weather makes your skin react differently to perfumes that you wear during autumn and winter. Due to your skin's changing pH levels, you'll find that your favourite cold-weather perfume feels too strong (to you and those around you) in summer. Therefore, you do need good summer fragrances to keep you fresh and feminine, no matter how high the mercury soars. |  |
 | What Sort of Fragrance Notes Work Better in Summer? Floral notes like jasmine, orchid, rose, gardenia, patchouli, freesia, lily, and magnolia are popular fragrance notes for summer perfumes. Among citrusy and fruity notes, apple, grapefruit, pear, mango, coconut, lime/lemon, plum and strawberry are widely used in summer fragrances for women. EDT or EDP for Summer? Eau de Parfums (EDP) have a higher concentration of fragrance oils than Eau de Toilettes (EDT). And since it's best to keep things clean and fresh during the summer, it is best to stick with EDTs. If you feel your perfume wearing off sooner than you'd like, carry a roll-on perfume and reapply as needed. However, do remember that even when you don't get a whiff of your perfume on yourself, those around you still can. So reapply sparingly. |
