Summer brings challenges for perfume-loving gals. We share advice for selecting and wearing fragrance within the warmer months.
Know The important points
Just as you would not wear a pullover to some summer picnic, there are specific perfume notes which are best left towards the colder seasons. Within the heat of summer, fresh and natural or at best nature-inspired - scent ingredients would be the most welcome. Included in this are citrus, fruity, oceanic, woody, and lightweight floral notes.
Fragrance notes to prevent in the summer include any that may become headache-inducing when intensified by heat, for example heavy floral blends, cloying orientals, patchouli, vanilla along with other sweet, syrupy or sugary aromas.

You need to be careful to not overdo it - your perfume shouldn't enter an area before you do.
