Here we’ll guide you throughout the process of how you can transition your fragrance wardrobe from winter to summer season. Let’s get started:
Best Fragrance Notes For Summer
From citrus to floral notes, the possibilities are endless when it comes to summer fragrance. According to research here, we mention the best notes for the summer season.
1. Citrus
From lemon, orange, grapefruit, and more, citrus fragrance notes all provide an uplifting scent. Light and bright fragrances tend to do well over the summer because they feature bright and energizing citrus notes of lemon, orange, and bergamot. A popular summer fragrance pairing with citrus notes is floral.
2. Coconut
If your summer itinerary doesn’t include the beach, you might smell like you’ve been lying by the beach all day. Coconut fragrance notes capture the tropical vibe. This creamy and sweet scent is a perfect match for florals, making it a light feminine feel. With the hot summer days, it can be challenging for your perfume to last throughout the day so pair your perfume with a lotion to extend longevity of the scent on your skin during the summer season.
3. Jasmine
According to research, jasmine fragrance notes are uplifting, energizing,and fresh. This feminine, floral, and sweet scent is a summer staple for many women. In summer, jasmine notes can work well especially when paired with fresh notes.
4. Gardenia
Bring the fresh gardenia flower smell with you because summertime calls for blooming fresh flowers. Gardenia fragrance notes are comprised of feminine, floral, and strong scents. Opt for a perfume with a gardenia note if you love the feeling of freshness on hot summer days.
5. Amber
Opt for a fragrance with amber notes to spark a nighttime scent doesn’t matter whether you have a summer wedding or a date night. Fragrances with amber are rich, complex, and evoke a sense of tradition and mystery.
6. Sandalwood
This fragrance note is very versatile and pairs well with many combinations. For summer days, a softer and watery sandalwood makes for a fresh, warm scent. Sandalwood note provides both a masculine and feminine scent to perfumes.
Best Fragrances for Summar Transition
To make the selection easy for you, here we mention 5 best summer scents for both men and women:
1. LV's Attrape Rêves
Fresh and a touch of floral, Lychee inspired by Attrape Reves owns summer with layers of litchi, bergamot, and ginger on the top before peony, rose, and cacao comes through to boost the summer cologne when it dries down. Finally, it settles on the skin with a slightly fresh and lasting gourmand of patchouli, adding a delicate touch to the scent that moves around with you over the day.
2. Sospiro's Erba Pura
Finally, we found a great summer scent for men that works for both men and women also doesn’t overpower you with citrus at this price point. The more affordable options are often headache-inducing, but not here with Euphoria inspired by Sospiro’s Erba Pura. You’ll love the balancing white musk, vanilla, and amber that stand out beyond the basic citrus notes of lemon, bergamot, and orange. It’s not offensive and works best for the summer season.
3. Paco Rabanne's Lady Million
One of the longest-lasting summer fragrances we’ve tested, Raspberry Splash inspired by, is one to add to your list if you like luxurious scents. Fresh, green, and tropical, with an exciting blend of raspberry with floral notes. As compared to designer fragrances, Raspberry Splash has a unique scent expertly balanced with patchouli and amber at its base.
4. Lancome's Magie Noire
One of the all-time great green fragrances for women, Rose Aroma inspired by Lancome’s Magie Noire, is perfectly suited for summer. Not only its smell is nothing short of intoxicating, a little sweet for some but offers great value for money. You’ll love the top notes of raspberry, balanced to perfection with honey and floral notes shining through as the scent dries down. The base is strong with musk, vetiver, and patchouli for longevity.
5. Bvlgari's Tygar
Like another of our favorites, Tiger’s Eye inspired by Bvlgari’s Tygar brings plenty of citrusy freshness. The bergamot note is the most prominent, but the refreshing floral notes elevate this woman’s summer fragrance to the next level, especially when it comes into contact with water. The combination of spice with wood and resins in the base makes it linger throughout the day.
Transitional Tips
Gradual Change
Transitioning your fragrance according to the ongoing season should be a gradual process. Start by incorporating one or two any of your favorite seasonal perfumes into your rotation and slowly phase out the previous season’s fragrances.
Scent Collection
Consider having a scent collection with fragrances specifically chosen according to the season. This approach allows you to select a perfume that matches not only the weather even also your activities and mood.
Layering and Mixing
To find out a unique blend that transitions well between seasons experiment with layering different scents. For example, you can layer a floral or bright citrusy perfume with a spicy body lotion to bridge the gap between the summer and fall seasons.
