We often wonder how to scent ourselves in summer, and above all, what kind of fragrance to use. Indeed, heat tends to accentuate the olfactory power of your perfume and it can very quickly become heady. That's why we've created a special summer fragrance is available from Luxurious Fragrances.

What should a summer fragrance look like?

How should your summer fragrance ? You'd probably say "light and fresh", wouldn't you?  As summer approaches, we like to refresh ourselves and smell good, but with a light touch and a bit of pizzazz. So let's avoid anything heavy and opt for light fragrances.

What better way to sublimate and refresh ourselves than with a eau de toilette sparkling, sweet, flowery, tangy or tonic? Say goodbye to heavy, heavy, muted, powerful, heady and heady scents! Give them up for the winter season, when cocooning and comforting fragrances are the order of the day.

If you already have a signature fragrance and can't bring yourself to change it, then opt for the same tones. You don't have to leave your comfort zone! Choose an eau de toilette or mist in the same shades. If worst comes to worst, we'll share a few tips with you...

A summer fragrance should contain little or no alcohol, which is photosensitizing. In fact, exposure to UV rays can cause your skin to become pigmented. Consequently, we strongly advise against applying your elixir directly to the skin when exposed to UV rays. 

In short, the higher the concentration of pure juice, the more heady the scent. The less juice, the lighter and more pleasant the scent, even in hot weather. Smokes with a high concentration of aroma and alcohol should therefore be avoided.

How to choose it?

In general, we choose our fragrance according to our personality, but also according to the occasion and the season. And as we mentioned earlier, in hot weather, freshness is the order of the day! Opt for tones that are more acidic, floral, slightly fruity, but above all invigorating.

If you're looking for a fragrance to wear during the day, choose a light scent. But if it's for the evening, then you can afford a little more intensity and voluptuousness. After all, every detail counts when it comes to choosing a fragrance!

One criterion not to be overlooked when choosing a fragrance is the occasion for which it is worn. Note that some fragrances are better suited to certain occasions than others. For example, if you're getting ready for a romantic evening with your other half, opt for suave tones.

And finally, the most important thing is your personality... Choose a fragrance that enhances you, represents you and leaves a trace behind. That scent that, when you're among your loved ones, will make them appreciate your good company even more.

Which summer fragrance to choose?

First of all, as we advised you earlier, you should opt for a perfume water rather than a fragrance. It's also better to choose fresh, flowery flavours such as Cherry pink for example. You'll be surprised by its excellent value for money! 

Vous pourriez également vous laisser tenter par l’irrésistible Washwasha by Lattafa with its exceptional olfactory pyramid. Its notes of orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla and musk will make it a favorite for your summer evenings. Don't hesitate to treat yourself to this exceptional elixir!

In a different vein, you could succumb to our Musk Tahara. They are fresh and their scent is very pleasant and subtle, as well as being long-lasting. The White Tahra musk is undoubtedly the one we recommend if you want a fairly basic fragrance. On the other hand, the fruity ones may surprise you.

There's another alternative, and that's mists, or textile spray. Leur avantage, c’est qu’ils s’appliquent directement sur le vêtement sans le tâcher. Mais vous pouvez également encenser votre garde-robe à l’aide de bakhour. To do this, you need a incense burnerwhich you will find in store.

Special recommendations

During the summer months, the sun is more intense and, as a result, no one can escape ultra-violet rays. That's why we strongly advise against applying a summer fragrance containing alcohol directly on the skin. Indeed, you run the risk of unsightly hyperpigmentation.

Aussi, vous savez maintenant que la chaleur amplifie le pouvoir odorant du parfum. C’est pour celà qu’il est conseillé de l’appliquer sur les zones chaudes du corps. Mais le soleil peut aussi impacter sur la fragrance, c’est-à-dire que le parfum peut tourner à cause de la forte chaleur. 

On the other hand, certain fragrances contained in certain perfumes, such as lemon, bergamot and other citrus fruits, are also photo-sensitizing. The particle that causes photosensitization has now been removed, but it is still advisable to prevent potential reactions.

How to apply perfume

Si vous ne vous exposez pas, vous pouvez appliquer votre parfum sur votre peau. Cependant, il faut cibler les points chauds du corps, comme la nuque, derrière les oreilles ou encore l’intérieur des poignets. Nous vous recommandons de privilégier cette méthode pour les soirées estivales.

What's more, you should spray your perfume from a distance to avoid staining your clothes. In fact, you can, for example, create a scented cloud and spray yourself into it. But it's also possible to scent only an accessory you're wearing, such as a scarf or hair band.

On the other hand, it's perfectly possible to add a touch of Musk Tahara in your body cream. This way, you can evenly scent your whole body. The advantage is that they're easy to apply, and leave a fresh, sweet scent.   

And finally, we recommend that you store your summer fragrance au frigo… Oui, oui, vous avez bien compris ! De cette façon, vous pourrez mieux le conserver et profiter de la sensation fraîche qu’il vous procurera. Ou au minimum, dans un endroit au sec et à l’abri de la lumière.
