Sanders, meanwhile, is of the mind that the best summer perfume should be casual. “It makes sense,” she says. “Do you really wear your most serious clothing in summer? Summer is the time to take Fridays off, stay up late and wear cheap sandals. Summer perfumes reflect that feeling.”
— Our own Angie, quoted in How to wear perfume in summer: what to cherish, what to avoid and why at The Guardian. Columnist Sady Doyle also talked to Victoria of Bois de Jasmin and Alyssa Harad of Coming to My Senses.
Excellent article and it helped to clarify my attempts to find my best group of scents for summer.
Good!
Yes, good article.
Loved what Alyssa said about white florals in the heat, and how she wound up crawling inside Amoureuse, unable to work until it had worn off some.
I liked this one way better than most.
Not sure I’d make it through a really hot humid day in Amoureuse…hats off to AlyssA!
It’s not so bad, white floral hypnosis in the heat.
Except Fracas. Except Poison. No, heck, I’d probably do okay with them too.
Here in Aberdeen in the north east of Scotland our local weather gurus have just told us that we’ve had the coldest June for over 40 years, & apparently July is looking like being similar…if I did do seasonal fragrances, I’d be looking to wear something warm & spicy I think – roll on August!
Wow, and we seem to be having one of the hottest. Sorry for stealing your summer!
Actually, I love Fracas in the summer – I just wear a little less of it if I am around other people.
Nice article; it related to me personally today because I decided I wanted a BWF to radiate in today’s heat. Songes is doing nicely.
Just a comment about Slumberhouse Pear & Olive being crisp–it was heavy and mostly about the oily olive on me, but I know Josh has reformulated some scents. Maybe it’s crisper now.
