Can the weather temperature really determine what I should wear for my perfume? I would say, “yes and no”.
“Yes” because perfumes are highly sensitive to heat. Hence, when it is summer or at places in the tropical regions, perfumers evaporate more easily. This causes your perfume to be not as lasting as it would have if the weather is colder.
Why I also said no is because, the decision lies ultimately with your choice, preference and what you prioritise when you wear a perfume.
Summer Style
You may have heard or relate summer scents to citrus and fresh notes such as bergamot, grapefruit or cut grass. These fragrances certainly may appear to possess the scent of summer since people associates summer to beaches, cocktails and the sun, making it seem like the scents should be energetic and invigorating as well.
However, citrus and fresh notes are the Top notes of perfumes and usually do not last very long as compared to the other scents. So, if you want your perfume to stick to you longer under a hot weather, you may want to opt for fragrances that is more concentrated in the middle and base notes such as florals, woody and oriental scented fragrances.
I would say that in winter, or air-conditioned rooms, you will be able to be more spoilt for choice. This is due to the fact that cold weathers and environments help you to slow down the speed of perfumes evaporating.
So, if you love citrus scents, you can still sport citrus scents in winter for a longer period of time as compared to when you wore your citrus scent perfume in summer.
But since it is colder, you will be covering yourself with layers of clothes, therefore, base notes are also perfect in keeping yourself scented and good smelling for a longer period of time.
Fragrance Examples
Top Notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Lemongrass
Middle Notes: Jasmine, Rose, Chamomile, Lavender, Tea Tree
Base Notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk, Vetiver, Pepper
