Buying Tips: How to find a summer fragrance that suits me?
Are you looking for the perfect summer fragrance but aren't sure where to start? First, you should consider the occasion for which you need a new scent: Are you looking for an everyday fragrance for the office or a charismatic scent for the night? Another tip is to look at the scent notes of a perfume you may already know and love, and specifically search for those notes. When you dive into testing, take notes on the fragrances and ideally try them for a day – because fragrances consist of top, heart, and base notes and develop throughout the day. Many brands offer Discovery Sets with several fragrance testers that you can try at your leisure and without risk, extending the scent by using the matching body wash or body lotion from the same fragrance line.
How to apply and store summer perfume correctly
To enjoy your new summer fragrance for a long time, you should store the bottle cool, dark, and upright - this protects it from leaking and ensures it always smells like the first day. When traveling, you should get a small travel atomizer for your favorite fragrance, as strong shaking can allow oxygen into the bottle, which can shorten the perfume's shelf life. You can find out more about perfume storage here. For a long-lasting fragrance experience, it's best to apply the scent to your pulse points. Alternatively, for particularly long-lasting results, you can spray it on your clothes - but be careful, especially with light-colored clothing, to ensure your perfume doesn't leave stains.
