It’s summertime. Time to change to summer perfumes — or is it? Can’t you use your favorite fragrance year-round?
Of course, you can. You don’t need to switch to a summer scent, just as it’s not mandated that you let your fleece jacket go for a linen one. However, the hot weather is an excellent reason to do both.
Hot weather means perfumes evaporate faster, so scents project quicker and much more intensely in the heat of summer than in the cold of winter.
This is why the best summer perfumes are light scents. Think fruity like mandarin, floral like gardenia, and fresh like bergamot. Even if these perfumes’ molecules evaporate and spread quickly, they will not be so heavy they will overwhelm your (and other people’s) senses.
Summer also means thriving flowers, herbs, and fruit-bearing trees, so fruity, floral, and fresh scents are particularly apt as they evoke and reflect the season. Wearing summer perfumes can put you in a summery mood, and changing to a summer scent is comparable to picking fall colors for your wardrobe in autumn.
Now that you understand why it makes sense to use a different perfume in the summer than the one you use in the winter or some other season, read on to see which of our scents are our top picks for hot weather.
1. Caballo
Our Caballo range consists of floral fragrances that make for perfect perfumes for the summer.
Caballo White is a fresh oriental scent that works for both men and women. It has a light and zesty lemon top note and a feminine iris heart. A sweet, warm, and earthy base of agarwood anchors the citrusy top note and the floral heart.
Caballo Violet and Caballo Rouge are two of the best summer perfumes for women. They are both floral oriental fragrances, so they have dominant floral notes with warm, sweet, slightly spicy undertones.
Caballo Violet is a soft and dreamy scent with a sweet kick, opening with freesia top notes followed by a full-bodied vanilla heart. A base of agarwood adds depth to the fragrance.
Caballo Rogue is an elegant and sophisticated fragrance, perfect for special summer nights out. It opens with enticing notes of orange blossom and rose. However, the vanilla heart of the Caballo Violet is replaced by jasmine and relegated to the base.
Caballo Navy is one of our best summer perfumes for men. Striking and forceful, this floral woody fragrance evokes a sense of power and authority.
Like its other Caballo siblings, it exhibits a refreshing top note, this time of bergamot, and a surprisingly delicate violet heart. However, the base of sweet, smoky, cedary patchouli and soft, earthy, and leathery saffron give it a forceful character.
2. Hidden Leather
Hidden Leather is one of our best white floral perfumes for the summer, suitable for both men and women. Characterized as a floral leather fragrance, this unisex perfume has a rich and heady gardenia top note, a spicy, honeyed Bulgarian rose heart, and a deep base of delectable vanilla and warm, smoky leather.
3. Midnight Glow
A woody fresh fragrance, Midnight Glow, is a mouthwateringly refreshing summer perfume that opens with a citrusy top of bergamot chased by a woodsy heart of Cedarwood and pride wood. Anchoring it all together is the radiant, musky, and animalic base of ambergris.
Midnight Glow has a summery floral opening scent due to its bergamot top, but its heart and base notes give it complexity, a good alternative for men and women who want a different take on summer scents.
4. Peaceful Life
Stirring and exhilarating, Peaceful Life is a floral oriental fragrance that is a must-try if you want heady and alluring summer perfume. It opens with the soft and creamy frangipani top note, followed by the succulent and juicy osmanthus middle note. Rounding it all off is the earthy and woodsy musk base note.
5. Scentastic No. 4
In the smooth and subtle floral oriental fragrance that’s Scentastic No. 4, everything is impeccably balanced, from the top note of Turkish rose to the heart of Egyptian jasmine and the base of agarwood. This is a perfume for sophisticated tastes that understand the value of understated elegance.
6. Mersal
Mersal means ‘message-bearer,’ and this perfume certainly is that. The Italian bergamot top note delivers a burst of citrus freshness, but it deepens to the sweet, spicy, and smoky middle note of patchouli, anchored by lingering incense . This is a summer perfume everyone will notice.
7. Thekrayat
Thekrayat is a succulent and mouthwatering floral leather fragrance, the perfect blend of the red currant top note, the luscious osmanthus heart, and the warm leather base. It is a lovely, fruity fragrance that can make anyone smile.
8. Ambergris
This is a perfume for confident men and women, those unafraid to stand out and draw other people’s attention. Named after its base ingredient of ambergris, this fragrance has a heart of leather and is heavier than the typical summer fragrance. A mandarin top adds a touch of fruity, zesty, sweet lightness.
9. Jasmine Bel Musk
Jasmine Bel Musk is a multi-faceted, layered, and sophisticated fragrance that seamlessly marries a heart of musk with a base of agarwood. This earthy, sweet, warm, and woodsy perfume opens with an intense jasmine top note, a mainstay in sweet floral fragrances.
