Many readers asked how to make their fragrances less powerful during summer’s heat. As a matter of fact, maintaining your signature scent during summer months can be some kind of a challenge: if you don’t want to give up your wintery fragrance and switch to a summery one, you either tend to put on too little and it won’t be smelled, or to put on a lot - thinking the sweating will make it fade quicker - and you will knock people out (and not in a good way).
Here is some summer’s scent etiquette:
It will lock into the styling products and leave you with a subtle aroma.
Create your own scented body powder then rub it onto your torso, arms and legs after the shower.
Body lotions linger onto your body for a long time without ever turning too strong because of the heat.
Finally, a tip from the pros at Perfume Emporium:
Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for summertime, casual and daywear.
Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for wintertime, evening and special occasions.
Ryoko is a fragrance created by Kenzo for travellers and globe-trotters.
