What are fragrance notes?
Have you ever wondered why your perfume smells different throughout the day? It all comes down to the notes. Fragrances are made up of three layers: top, heart (or middle) and base. Top notes are the first scents you'll notice and usually last around 10-15 minutes. Next comes the heart notes which make up the main character of the fragrance. Finally, the base notes take over, lingering on the skin and creating a long-lasting finish.
What Makes a Good Summer Fragrance?
In comparison to winter fragrances, summer scents feature ingredients that are lighter, fresher and easier to wear in the heat. There are three main fragrance families to choose from: fruity, floral and fresh. It's worth noting that heat can intensify a fragrance, so stick to refreshing scents to keep it balanced without overpowering.
Fresh Summer Scents
Crisp, clean and energizing, fresh fragrances are packed with light citrus, aquatic accords and airy florals that leave you with an instant burst of energy. Perfect for those who love bright, uplifting scents with a subtle sweetness.

Fruity Fragrances
These fragrances have come a long way from the sugary scents we knew growing up.

Floral Fragrances
Blending notes like lavender, jasmine and orange blossom, floral fragrances create a light, airy scent that's effortlessly wearable.
