6 Best Summer Perfumes for Women

While we are shopping for new clothes or shoes for the summer, we sometimes forget to check what’s going on with our perfume supplies. We use our favorite scent for the whole winter, and rarely think about what perfumes are best for the summer.

When it gets hot, it can really be unpleasant to feel the smell of a strong, pungent perfume. So here are the rules for choosing a summer fragrance for women. If you stick to them, you can’t be wrong.

If you already use some of these light-based scents, you should consider the fact that many perfume brands already thought about this, and made summer versions of their most popular fragrances.

Below is a short list of universal characteristics of a perfume that won’t make you, or people around you sick, and will also give you a feeling of freshness throughout the day.

1. Citrus

We enjoy a cold fresh squeezed lemonade, or orange juice, so why don’t you include that scent, and freshness, in your summer fragrance? It is the best choice if you like a little bit of sour aroma in your day. There are many citrus-based perfumes, so I am certain that you can find two or three that you will like.

2. Fruity

Different ladies mean different fragrance choices. Some of you may not enjoy smelling like a lime or lemon, but still want to keep that freshness through the hot days (or even better, nights). So, stick to the fruits, just look for a sweeter base in a perfume. Mango, Banana, Peach, Apple, Pineapple, Melon or Watermelon – just go wild.

3. Ocean

If you already considered sticking to your winter perfume, think twice. While you work and think about your upcoming holidays, you may want to enjoy another type of freshness – the water scent. It’s an evergreen fragrance, light and pleasant, and above all – cool.

You can find many water-based perfumes on the market, but I suggest the ocean fragrance. It will keep you on the move, and remind you that there’s a beach waiting just for you.

4. Woody

Of course, nature is always a logical choice. This is the best summer perfume base for active women that work a lot, take sports, or are moms. They usually have a serious note and a natural herb base, so they do give a stable scent.

However, they will not say that you are boring or too busy – they will make an impression of an adventurous, spiritual person. So if you want to feel like that, or just enjoy the smell of forests, herbs and tree houses, this is the best summer perfume for you.

5. Flowers

Roses are red, my perfume is too. This is a lighter variation of nature fragrance, but it is still different from all the above. Flowers are some kind of a perfect mix of fruit scents, and natures green, light, cool aroma.

It will bring you complete relaxation and make you think about fields of flowers waiting for you to run through them. If you prefer the concrete, it will keep a picture of a nice city garden, or park, in your mind.

6. Sweet

Sweet is sweet. If you are addicted to strong, direct and deep noted perfumes, you can certainly find a strong, sweet fragrance which will keep you fresh and sexy for the day. Because if you don’t like a perfume you’re wearing, it will make you uncomfortable, it can go not-so-well with your natural body scent, so you should stick to your own taste. If you like sweet and sticky, go for it. Just don’t put too much on, because nobody likes caramel melting on the sun.
