With the spring equinox just around the corner, we wave goodbye to the chilly winter months and embrace the promise of warmer weather. During this transitional time, we start to switch up our skincare, beauty regimes and wardrobes to match accordingly, and our perfume game is no exception.
In this guide, we’ll explore the reasons for adapting your perfumes to the seasons and how you can choose the perfect fragrance for springtime.
Why change your perfume to match the seasons?
The changing climate can affect the way a fragrance smells on your skin as the skin’s moisture improves and body temperatures rise, so choosing a scent that’s appropriate for the season is more important than you think.
During colder months, you may opt for a warmer and richer scent to provide a sense of cosiness, whereas spring is synonymous with blooms, verdant greenery and the overall sense of renewal, so something lighter and fresher will work wonders.
It’s true that perfumes are very personal and can be seen as an extension of oneself, evoking different moods and sometimes even activating our nostalgia by transporting us to a different time and unlocking memories that were lost in our subconscious.
Changing your perfume to match the new season will be a fun way to embody both your personality and the playful mood of spring while adding something new to your repertoire.
How to choose the right fragrance
Choosing a new fragrance can be a challenging task as you’re often presented with hundreds of tempting scents to sift through, however, when selecting a perfume for springtime, consider the notes you prefer.
If you enjoy fresh and light scents, then opt for zesty notes like mandarin, lemongrass and bergamot. Perhaps you’d rather choose a more floral scent, and if so, look for notes of rose, peony, orange blossoms or gardenia.
Additionally, consider the types of occasions where you will wear the fragrance. For daytime wear, you may prefer a lighter and playful scent, yet for nighttime, an elegant perfume will have more appeal — scents with an undertone of warm amber, cedar or sandalwood will promise a sophisticated finish.
