Unlike those who stick to a single perfume and wear it all year round, some consumers are more sensitive to the rhythm of the seasons. With seasonal perfumes, changing your fragrance is child's play.
In the world of perfumery, certain ingredients and scents evoke the warmth of the summer sun or, conversely, the quest for comfort during dark winter days. Le Studio des Parfums offers you some perfume ideas to adopt for each season of the year.
Spring perfumes: fresh and aromatic scents
Synonymous with freshness and nature's renewal, spring is undoubtedly the season for light and invigorating scents. With their low fragrance concentration and volatile top notes, Eau de Toilettes and Eau de Colognes are the perfect perfumes for this season. They often contain fresh ingredients, including aromatic herbs, white flowers, and citrus fruits.
- For women Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune by Guerlain, a seasonal fragrance with sparkling notes of grapefruit and blackcurrant.
- For men L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake, with subtle notes of citrus, wood, and spice
- A unisex perfume idea Jo Malone's «Wood Sage & Sea Salt» Eau de Cologne, an ode to salty freshness
Summer perfumes: floral and sunny scents
In the summer, we are overcome by the urge to travel to faraway lands. Certain seasonal fragrances manage to satisfy this craving with fresh, even gourmand scents. While flowers are present in most summer perfumes, tropical fruits and vanilla also play a key role, creating a truly exotic fragrance. Once again, toilet waters and colognes are best suited for the mild temperatures of the season. However, opt for an eau de parfum if you are looking for a long-lasting fragrance that provides a lasting feeling of freshness.
- For women Dune by Dior, a toilette or eau de parfum with delicate notes of mandarin, peony, and vanilla
- For men Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford, a tribute to Tunisian neroli and Sicilian lemon, promises an enchanting olfactory journey.
- A suggestion for a unisex fragrance Bvlgari's «Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert,» a cologne with bright notes of bergamot, green tea, cardamom, and beeswax
Autumn scents, woody and chypre fragrances
Autumn is the season of authenticity. Seasonal fragrances perfectly evoke walks in nature and the crackling of a fireplace. With their warm and enveloping sillage, autumn fragrances are composed of notes of bergamot, jasmine, oakmoss, and patchouli.
- For women Narciso Rodriguez's «For Her,» a floral and musky eau de parfum with base notes of amber and patchouli
- For men Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent, an aromatic chypre fragrance with notes of coriander, bergamot, and artemisia
- A suggestion for a unisex fragrance « Un Bois Sépia » by Serge Lutens, a woody fragrance with green notes of vetiver, oakmoss, cypress, and patchouli
Winter perfumes: amber and spicy scents
Winter fragrances are characterized by intense, sensual, or even oriental scents, which often leave a bold trail. Intoxicating white flowers, spices, and oud wood are among the warm notes that symbolize these seasonal fragrances and guarantee their longevity.
- For women Hermès' Elixir des Merveilles, an enchanting fragrance built around a resolutely wintery amber-woody accord
- For men The Scent by Hugo Boss, with intoxicating notes of ginger, maninka fruit, and leather
- A suggestion for a unisex fragrance Ambre Fétiche by Goutal Paris, an oriental fragrance with warm notes of incense, benzoin, vanilla, and Russian leather
