Fine Fragrances for Every Season
When you think of fashion throughout the year, you know that different seasons often call for changes in attire. For the summer, you might think about shorts, skirts, and open-toed shoes, while thinking about sweaters and coats for the winter. Similarly, you should consider the season when deciding what perfume or cologne to wear.
Scents for the Season
According to Statista, nearly half of the population wears perfumes or colognes regularly, so you’re in good company wearing a scent whether you’re at the office, at home, or on a night out on the town. Fragrances can be worn any time of the year, but certain scents go well with certain seasons. This is because the weather and your unique body chemistry impact a fragrance’s performance. Consider these guidelines when shopping for perfumes and colognes:
- Spring: We associate this season with renewal and rebirth. Look for products with fresh, floral notes or energetic citrus notes, such as Olympea Solar EDP for women by Paco Rabanne.
- Summer: When things start to heat up, it’s time to turn on the fun and adventure. The best summer scents are light and refreshing with citrus, fruity, or aquatic notes. We like Paco Rabanne’s Invictus EDP for men.
- Autumn: As the leaves change color and temperatures cool down, you can’t help but feel a sense of transition. Scents with warm, woody notes are ideal. Sandalwood, amber, and patchouli really shine during the fall.
- Winter: When it’s cold outside, it’s the perfect time for cozying up indoors. Winter calls for warm scents with sugar, spice, and everything nice. Lady Million Prive EDP for Women by Paco Rabanne would be an excellent choice.
Because everyone is unique, the best way to choose a fragrance is to experiment and see what suits you best each season.
More Tips for Scent Selection
As you shop, keep these helpful hints in mind:
- Body chemistry: Think about your skin type as you experiment. Oily skin tends to project fragrances more strongly, so you might need to balance it with a lighter product. Dry skin doesn’t retain scent as long, so look for a product with a higher concentration or longer performance.
- Special occasion: Formal events call for deeper fragrances with bolder scent accords. Running errands or going to the office may require a product with a lighter effect.
- Weather and climate: The weather not only affects how a fragrance smells but also your body’s chemistry. Heavier fragrances tend to be more impactful when it’s cold, while lighter scents shine in warmer months.
Saving on Perfumes
Exploring and experimenting with fragrances is better when you don’t have to spend a lot of money on top-tier scents from Paco Rabanne and other brands. There are no hard rules when it comes to scents for different seasons, but saving money is always a good rule of thumb.
