How to Choose the Best Perfumes for Spring and Summer

How to Choose the Best Perfumes for Spring and Summer

As temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, it's time to rethink our choice of fragrance. Just as we adjust our wardrobes for the changing seasons, selecting the right perfume for spring and summer is essential for staying fresh and invigorated throughout the day. 

When it comes to choosing a fragrance for warmer weather, it's all about finding scents that capture the essence of the season. Opt for perfumes that are light, refreshing, and long-lasting. Look for notes like citrus, fruity, and aquatics, which evoke the freshness of spring blooms and the coolness of ocean breezes.

 

Popular Fragrance Families for Warm Weather

Explore a spectrum of fragrance families that match in hot weather:

  • Citrus: Embrace the zesty allure of citrus notes, such as lemon, lime, bergamot and grapefruit. Perfumes like Creed Aventus and Louis Vuitton Imagination deliver a burst of energy and vitality.
  • Fruity: Indulge in the sweet, juicy goodness of fruity fragrances. From succulent lemons to tropical delights, Xerjoff Erba Pura and Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise offer a tantalizing array of fruity notes to brighten your day.
  • Aquatic: Transport yourself to the tranquil serenity of the ocean with aquatic-inspired scents. Acqua di Gio Profumo and Dior Homme Cologne capture the essence of salty sea air and sun-kissed shores.

 

Top Picks for Spring and Summer

Without further ado, here are our top recommendations for perfumes to accompany you on your spring and summer adventures:

Niche Picks:

 

 

 Louis Vuitton Imagination

Summer in a bottle, fresh, relaxing and elegant. Performance is really great for a fresh fragrance.

 

 

Nishane Hacivat

Aventus type DNA, reminds first batches of Aventus, where pineapple was really noticeable, also has grapefruit. Crazy performance.

 

 

Creed Aventus

The one that started it all... An icon, probably the most cloned/copied fragrance of all time. A mix of citrus, fruity and woody notes. Opens up fresh, and in the drydown it's more woody. Similar to Hacivat but with weaker performance. 

 

 

Xerjoff Erba Pura

One of the best sellers from Xerjoff's house. Erba Pura is a fruity bomb. Performance is unreal, and we don't recommend to use more than 3 sprays. It's a unisex fragrance but works best on women in our opinion.

 

 

Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise

Another Aventus type fragrance, but also stronger. Opens up with bold sicilian citrus fruits, and you can feel more spices in the drydown.

 

Afnan Turathi Blue

 If you like mandarin/orange, you will love this perfume. It's citrus, fruity and fresh. Projection and performance are great.

 

Designer Picks:

 

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Profumo

 A discontinued gem. It's aquatic, fresh and spicy! One of the best fragances made by Alberto Morillas. Performance is crazy good.

 

 

Dior Homme Cologne

 One of the best fragrances for hot weather. Fresh, sparkling bergamot with a bit of musk. Performance could be better.

 

 

Hermès Terre D'Hermès Eau Givrée

 Perfume of the year in 2022, it's one of the best citrus scents. Performance is great.

 

JPG Le Beau Le Parfum

If you like coconut, you'll love this fragrance. It's a bit sweet, but this sweet, fruity and fresh scent works great in Spring.

 

 

D&G Light Blue Italian Love

 Another discontinued gem, this has the Light Blue DNA but with a different touch with the grapefruit. Performance is great.

 

 

Montblanc Explorer

 The cheaper alternative to Creed Aventus. Works great in so many occasions, performance is great.

 

Versace Eros Eau de Parfum

 A classic. Eros Eau de Parfum, it's a fruity party fragance. Has Italian Lemon, Spearming, mandarin orange and candied apple. Performance is great.

 

Tips for Wearing Perfume in Hot Weather

To make the most of your summer fragrance, remember these essential tips:

  • Apply perfume to pulse points, such as wrists, behind the ear, neck, base of the throat, to maximize its longevity.
  • Store fragrances in a cool, dark place to prevent them from spoiling in the heat.
  • Consider layering scents using matching body lotions or oils for a longer-lasting aroma.

 

So there you have it, don't forget to pick a fragrance that matches your vibe. We know that having a lot of fragrances could be really expensive, that's why it's always better to buy decants/samples, this way you can have a bigger collection, and pay way less to have the fragrances you always wanted. Remember, your perfume should be as unique as you are.
