In summer, the skins heat up, the bodies become naked and the scents are increased tenfold. Generally, we want more freshness and less headiness. This summer lightness is then found without difficulty in our perfumes that we can change completely or opt for the version for sunny days. Here is a spirited selection that should lighten your wake.
CITRUS SCENTS: the spiciness of summer
In perfume, the citrus or citrus olfactory family is among many addicts. It is sometimes sweet, sometimes light or juicy or even slightly spicy. The raw materials in the spotlight then recall without limit the sun, the heat, the carefree nature and the green nature. Why ? Because it is about citrus zest like bergamot, orange, tangerine, lemon or grapefruit. In Greek mythology, the word “hesperide” designated the nymphs in charge of protecting the gardens of the Gods in which we could find the “Golden Apple”, in other words oranges, thus giving citrus scents . What to offer sumptuous colognes, subtle and absolutely not heady, ideal for the summer period.
FRESH WATER: the summer in-between
Because hesperidic scents are often more volatile, pairing them with aromatics or musks offers an interesting and more persistent summer alternative. Thus, it is not uncommon to see citrus paired with notes such as lavender, mint or orange blossom. The musks behind help create a longer and more captivating trail where the traditional Cologne would tend to disappear more easily. The fresh waters thus come to awaken our nostrils without invading them with too hot and enveloping notes in order to fully indulge in the sweetness of summer.
