The search for the perfect summer fragrance is not that difficult. It is a pleasant process and through simple tips and questions, you can easily find it and make many wonder what scent 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 getaways, of dives you took, of ice creams you ate, of streets you walked, and it should uplift your mood in the moment. 

So, how do you choose this fragrance that will serve as your escape from everyday life and make people around you ask what scent you are wearing? Before you decide on the fragrance that will accompany your summer getaways 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 trendy or popular on TikTok, above all, it should appeal to you. 
• Does it uplift my mood when I smell it on myself?

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

• Look for a fragrance that feels cool, refreshing, and bright on you. With the high temperatures we will wear it, it is necessary to feel light. Avoid notes that you choose in winter and prefer notes associated with freshness and cleanliness. Citrus, exotic flowers and not only, fruits and green notes will work perfectly during the summer months.

• Try the fragrance directly on your skin, on the areas where there is a strong pulse, and don't rush to decide. Let the fragrance "settle" on you, let the first impression of the top notes fade away, let it blend with your skin, and then see if it's the fragrance you were looking for.

• Don't forget that fragrance is your ultimate accessory. You start and end your day with it. You deserve 2 different fragrances to change according to your mood and the occasion. So, if you find yourself torn between two, get both of them.

• An easy solution, if you don't have much time on your hands, is to choose the summer version of the fragrance (eau de toilette) that you wear in winter in 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 an aromatic cloud initially and then walk through it to cover your entire body.

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

• To make your fragrance last longer, apply it more on your clothes rather than on your skin (this tip is recommended for more resistant fabrics such as denim or cotton) to avoid leaving stains.

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

• Don't rub the fragrance on yourself, but let it evolve freely on its own.
