In high heat, it is sometimes difficult to find a suitable perfume. Here are three ultra-lightweight ones that you will love to wear all summer long.
Summer has arrived, accompanied by several heat waves. And when the mercury rises, it can be difficult to keep wearing the same perfume. The favorite of the moment then becomes too heavy, too sweet, too present… In short, when temperatures rise, it is better to turn to light fragrances, with notes that smell of sunshine and freshness. You still need to know which ones to choose among the many options available on the market. Don’t panic: there’s no need to give up on your olfactory signature. All you have to do is change your locker room. As a beauty journalist, I’ve seen many bottles pass across my desk this summer, but only three of them have passed the ultimate heatwave test. Airy or very discreet juices, which last on the skin without ever becoming heady, and which act like a real shot of freshness.
Missing Person, from the American brand Phlur, falls into the category of what we call “skin perfumes”. That is to say, the smell literally embraces the body and is only revealed to others in proximity. It is both simple and sophisticated and smells truly clean. Its creator, Chriselle Lim, even describes it as the “white t-shirt of perfumes”. It contains bergamot, jasmine, orange blossom, sandalwood oil and blond wood. Its little extra? Thanks to the presence of musk, the final result is not the same from one skin to another. In summer, it won me over with its discretion and simplicity. It’s perfect for those who don’t like to leave a trail but love having a scent that’s unique to them.
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess already has a very evocative name. And rightly so since it is the ultimate summer perfume! Luminous, floral, amber, it inspires the warmth of a sunset, tanned skin and fine sand. It contains bergamot, lemon, mandarin, jasmine but also lavender and sandalwood. But what gives it its truly sunny side is undoubtedly the mixture of coconut and vanilla. It leaves a delicate trail, and transports me to the edge of the ocean. Worn in the evening, it immediately gives a sensual touch to the look.
For those looking for freshness, Eté Immortel by Poécile is ideal! It evokes a nap in the shade of the maquis in Corsica, surrounded by immortelle. The smell is sparkling and light! Not surprising since the fragrance is composed of bergamot, clementine, immortelle, maquis herbs but also juniper wood and mineral notes. From the first scent, we find ourselves on the edge of the Mediterranean in front of blue water and the fragrance really makes us want a vacation.
Eté Immortel is ideal on a hot day since it envelops the body in an airy and refreshing veil. It’s the perfect scent to stay elegant and fresh, even when the thermometer is freaking out. His plus? It is made in France.
