Goodbye winter, hello sunshine! With the arrival of the sun and warmth, it’s time to leave behind our winter perfumes and adopt lighter, refreshing fragrances for spring-summer. But how do you find the perfect scent for this season?
Here are some tips to help you find the fragrance that will perfectly accompany you during this vibrant season.
Freshness for the Season
For the spring-summer season, we forget the winter perfumes with very concentrated scents (which can cause headaches in hot weather). We focus on fresher fragrances. Spring and summer are synonymous with lightness. Just as we lighten our clothing, we also opt for light and refreshing perfumes.
The Essentials
What’s a must for the season? Floral and fruity notes are among our favorite scents for spring-summer.
Jasmine: Symbolic of spring, jasmine offers a sensual and intoxicating fragrance that evokes blooming gardens.
Lily of the Valley: Light and fresh, it perfectly symbolizes the spring season.
These notes are found in many perfumes and remind us of spring freshness. Citrus fruits are also beloved for their pep. We especially love:
Mandarin: Lively and sparkling, mandarin brings a touch of cheerfulness and instant freshness, ideal for sunny days.
Bergamot: Refined and bright, bergamot diffuses a zesty and energizing note, perfect for a vivifying start to the day.
You can also turn to more gourmand fragrances with notes of vanilla, musk, or amber. They are sensual and plunge us directly into summer.
Floral and Fruity Notes
This season is synonymous with blooming flowers and sun-drenched fruits. Naturally, floral and fruity notes reign supreme in spring perfumery.
For floral notes:
Rose: Timeless and romantic, rose is a sure value that comes in many facets, from fresh and delicate to more opulent oriental rose.
Jasmine: Symbolic of spring, jasmine offers a sensual and intoxicating fragrance that evokes blooming gardens.
Orange Blossom: Light and refreshing, orange blossom adds a touch of zest and optimism.
For fruity notes:
Citrus: Grapefruit, mandarin, lemon... Citrus fruits add a touch of pep and vitality that perfectly matches the spring spirit.
Red Fruits: Strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant... Red fruits offer gourmet and tangy fragrances that will bring cheerfulness to your day.
How to Wear Your Perfume During Spring-Summer
The return of warm weather also means the return of heat! Therefore, it's important to be more cautious about how you wear your perfume.
Application Technique
Avoid applying perfume directly to your skin before sun exposure. This could cause an allergic reaction and the appearance of small bumps. Prefer the cloud technique: spray the product into the air and then walk through the scented cloud.
Alternatively, you can apply it to your clothes, keeping a distance of 10 centimeters to avoid staining them.
Storage Tips
Also, remember to keep your perfume bottles away from heat, sunlight, and humidity.
Sun Precautions
To smell good in summer without risking allergies, brown spots, or small bumps, a few rules must be followed!
Do not spray your fragrance directly on your skin if you know you will be exposed to UV rays. Prefer the “cloud” technique: simply spray your elixir once or twice in front of you and then walk through this cloud of perfume.
Save the true perfuming for the evening. During the day, also avoid applying your fragrance to areas where you sweat a lot, as perfume tends to change on contact with sweat.
The Season’s Innovations
This season, explore new olfactory combinations to stay at the cutting edge of trends.
Perfumers are constantly innovating to create unique blends that capture the essence of spring-summer.
Consider trying fragrances with unexpected accords like peppermint, lavender mixed with citrus, or even marine touches for unmatched freshness.
Personalize Your Perfume
Why not create your own olfactory signature by layering multiple perfumes?
This technique, called layering, allows you to personalize your scent and stand out. Start with a light base and add one or two additional notes for a unique and sophisticated effect.
