Correct application of fragrances

For maximum long-term preservation of the aroma of perfumes, it is important not just to carry them out right choice, but you also need to know how to apply them correctly. The durability of the fragrance directly depends on the place where it is applied. The following rules can be noted here:

1. Perfume should be applied to clean hair.
2. Many people apply fragrance not only to their skin, but also to their clothes. In this case, it is heard differently, but this is precisely what complements it.
3. It is important to pay attention to the environment. In the cold, the aroma evaporates an order of magnitude slower, that is, in winter almost all aromas are more persistent. At elevated temperatures, perfume lasts much less.

You need to know that a person’s nose tends to get used to smells, so after a certain time it stops feeling it. On this basis, there is no need to draw any conclusions, the smell has not disappeared, it is also present on the body and is quite persistent. This is exactly how the people around him perceive him, while the woman herself no longer feels him. To avoid this problem, you can change scents a little more often, alternating your favorite ones.

Choosing a fragrance for the summer is a responsible task, because in the heat any perfume opens up and smells especially brightly. So that those around you do not wince when they hear a too stuffy and pungent aroma, but, on the contrary, look after you enthusiastically, use perfume very carefully in warm weather. Apply a few drops of perfume behind your ears and on your wrists, or spray eau de toilette over your head and enter this “cloud”.

Of course, choose light scents suitable for the hot season. Which ones exactly - look in our selection.

Firstly, this new product can really be considered a summer one, and secondly, in June 2015, a Serge Lutens boutique finally opened in Moscow, in honor of which the maestro himself came to the capital. In short, we couldn’t help but talk about this addition to the brand’s collection, especially since its rich flair will be a wonderful addition to an evening look. This is an oriental fragrance (Serge Lutens himself was inspired by Morocco), based on notes of jasmine, civet, musk and incense. Divine!

Popular

You can often hear about a particular scent that it is “summer”, “winter”, “daytime” or “evening”. The difference between evening and daytime scents is even more or less clear: we call a daytime scent not too deep, as a rule, fresh and light. Evening scents are heavier, richer, and more persistent. But what about the so-called winter and summer perfume compositions? It would seem that the same note of rose or vanilla is present in both winter scents and fresh spring-summer perfumes.

And yet, seasonal scents have their own specificity. In compositions intended for the warm season, the main and more noticeable are fresh and light floral, citrus, ozonic, fruit and berry notes. Deep woody, warm amber, tart resinous, appetizing gourmand chords sound muffled here, in the background. Whereas in “winter” perfumery, lotus and lilac, mandarin and raspberry only emphasize the depth of the main cedar, woody, powdery, vanilla notes.

Summer perfume - freshness and coolness

Fruit aromas

Juicy fruits and fragrant berries like peach, apple, melon, plum, raspberry, cherry, strawberry and citrus are almost mandatory components of a summer perfume. These fresh and sweet notes bring mischief and enthusiasm, energy and flirtatiousness to the composition. Tropical fruits, such as passion fruit or coconut, add exoticism to the aroma and allow you to be carried away by dreams of a vacation on friendly overseas coasts. It is worth remembering that fruity notes are the most unstable notes, so they disappear first.

Flowers such as irises, lilies of the valley, lilacs, and violets also help create the atmosphere of a spring-summer blooming garden. Lotus is often present in summer compositions: on a hot day its cool aroma is unusually pleasant.

Where would we be without sea and water notes that remind us of cool sea waves, fresh breezes and salty droplets on our lips after swimming? Men are very fond of this perfume, and girls are not indifferent to these piercingly fresh, transparent, clean, like ocean water, compositions. Sometimes mint is present in sea scents: it further emphasizes this pleasant chill.

Ozone scents, which have become extremely popular in the last decade, will remind us of showers, thunderstorms and summer skies. With their cool overtones, they are somewhat similar to sea chords, but the ozone notes are even more sublime, fresher, weightless.

We associate so-called “green” aromas with a summer meadow covered with grass, with the green crowns of trees in which a warm wind rustles. Green notes bring juiciness, vigor and a special tart-sour shade to the composition.

5 fresh women's scents with a note of mint

Mint gives the perfume composition a refreshing and transparent note, a kind of pleasant chill with herbaceous overtones. Mint can be peppermint, bergamot mint, spearmint, field mint, and all these types are successfully used in perfumery.
