The search for the ideal summer fragrance is not that difficult. It is an enjoyable process, and with very simple tips and questions, you can find it very easily and make many wonder what perfume you are wearing as you pass by. 

The summer fragrance should transport you when you close your eyes. It should awaken memories of beautiful summer escapes, of dives you took, of ice creams you ate, of alleys you walked through, and instantly lift your mood. 

So, how do you choose that fragrance that will work daily for you as an escape from everyday life and make people around you ask what perfume you are wearing? Before you settle on the fragrance that will accompany your summer escapes this year, answer the following questions: 

• How long does it last on my skin? 
• Does it match my personality?  Don't be swayed by fragrances that are in fashion or popular on TikTok; above all, it should please you. 
• Does it lift my mood when I smell it on myself?

The choice of fragrance is certainly a very personal matter and depends on our preferences, our personality, as well as the pH of the skin. The good news, of course, is that there are many wonderful fragrances around us, and with a little searching we will find more than one ideal scent for us. 

• Look for a fragrance that feels fresh, invigorating, and bright on you. With the high temperatures when we will wear it, it is essential that it feels light. Avoid notes you choose in winter and prefer notes associated with freshness and cleanliness. Citrus, exotic flowers and more, fruits, and green notes will work perfectly during the summer months.

• Try the fragrance directly on your skin, on the pulse points, and don’t rush to decide. Let the fragrance “settle” on you, let the first impression of the top notes fade, let it blend with your skin, and then see whether it is the fragrance you were looking for.

• Don’t forget that fragrance is your ultimate accessory. It’s how you start and how you end your day. You deserve 2 different fragrances so you can switch depending on your mood and the occasion. So if you find yourself choosing between two, get both.

• An easy solution, if you don’t have much time, is to choose the summer version of the fragrance (eau de toilette) you wear in winter in the eau de parfum version. Or look for the summer editions of the fragrances you usually wear.

Bonus tips:

How to wear your summer fragrance: 

• Create a fragrant cloud first and then walk through it to cover your entire body. 

• Don't forget to scent your hair as well. 

• For longer-lasting fragrance, apply it more on your clothes rather than directly on your skin (to avoid stains, this tip is recommended for more durable fabrics like denim or cotton).

• Remember to apply fragrance on pulse points, such as wrists, neck, elbows, and behind the knees. 

• Don't rub the fragrance on your skin; let it develop freely on its own.
