Remember when Mungo Jerry sang -
"We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather's fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the sea...
We're always happy, life's for living
Yeah, that's our philosophy....."
He forgot to include the importance of smelling good." Chuckles.
Well worry not, because we have you covered. Summer is here, and that means we have to dig out our batch of fresh and floral scents to keep you at bay (and bae).
Here are 5 essential tips for using perfumes in summer:
Lighter Scents: Opt for lighter, fresher scents in the summer months. Citrus, floral, and aquatic fragrances are great choices as they tend to be more refreshing and uplifting in hot weather. We personally like it hot.
Apply to Pulse Points: Apply your perfume to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears (and other tested areas like cleavage). These areas emit heat, which can help to amplify the scent without overdoing it.
Avoid Over-applying: In hot weather, perfumes can be more intense due to the heat and humidity. To prevent overpowering others with your scent, apply sparingly and consider reapplying throughout the day if needed.
Store Perfumes Properly: Keep your perfumes away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to prevent them from deteriorating. Store them in a cool, dark place to maintain their quality.
Consider Layering Scents: If you prefer a longer-lasting scent, consider layering your perfume with a matching body lotion or shower gel from the same fragrance line. This can help the scent last longer on your skin without needing to reapply frequently.
