Summer is here and in this sticky heat and humidity, you want a perfume that is light with clean crisp fragrance notes. So, leave your rich and oriental fragrances that you wore last Christmas in your wardrobe and get ready to splurge on some fresh new summer fragrance. During summers, the heat and the humidity intensifies any fragrance, so you need to choose a fragrance carefully. Fragrances that have too much vanilla, begamot or musk tend to become overpowering and cloying. Since light fragrances tend to wear off soon, you need to find a summer fragrance that is fresh and crisp and which will last for a few hours. Summer is the perfect season to wear single note floral fragrances or zesty citrusy fragrances. Perfumes that have predominant aquatic notes and green notes are ideal for men. Women can opt for fragrances that have light floral or zesty citrus notes. Here we will discuss the top perfumes for summer for both men and women.
