What Makes a Summer Fragrance
Summer fragrances are one of the most essential and more versatile fragrances you can wear everyday. These fragrances are best worn during the day. They aren't the strongest or last the longest because of the weather. Heat amplifies the strength of a fragrance so keep that in mind with the amount of sprays you use. If you're inside with AC then you could spray a little more, but outside keep it down. Common notes you'll find are citrus fruits, green notes, aquatic notes, aromatics, and fresh spices. They're meant to be worn to make you smell fresh and clean, like you came out of the shower. Summer scents are sharp and very masculine.
