The days keep getting hotter and we’re in need of a perfume for hot, humid weather that won’t overpower or be weighed down by the heat. For a light, fresh scent, we are looking for notes of citrus, green or aquatic in our signature scent for summer.
What Makes a Perfume Good for Hot Weather?
When looking for the perfect summer scent, citrus notes or soapy accords are timeless classics. Avoid heavy bases like ouds as they can feel overwhelming in the heat. Here are our tips when looking at a fragrance for the warmer months.
- Fresh and light notes to uplift and revitalize in heat and humidity.
-
-
- Citrus: Lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, and orange are bright and energizing.
- Aquatic/Marine: Evoke freshness and a cool breeze, perfect for heat.
- Green: Notes like mint, basil, or freshly cut grass offer crispness.
- Fruity but light: Think watermelon, pear, or light berries.
-
- Avoid heavy base notes such as oud or suede. In heat, strong perfumes can feel cloying and overwhelming.
- Clean or soapy accords are perfect for a fresh-out-of-the-shower vibe. Look for notes of neroli, orange blossom or white musk.
