Embrace light and fresh scents
During hot weather, fresh, airy, and cooling scents become dominant. Spring and summer seasons are best for floral, citrus, and green scents. You can go for light florals such as jasmine, rose, or peony, which have a delicate yet vibrant aroma, or citrus scents such as lemon, grapefruit, or bergamot, which provide a chill and refreshing sensation.
Here are the most popular spring-to-summer scents from Shop and Beyond:
If you’re asking for a classic floral fragrance with notes of peony, rose, and freesia, Chloe Eau de Parfum is your go-to with its light and elegant scent. But if you’re the type of person who loves a crisp scent, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino is the ideal fragrance for you. It’s a clean, refreshing scent with a blend of citrus notes reminiscent of summer afternoons by the sea. Aside from this, if you like a vibrant, citrus fragrance with notes of Sicilian lemon and apple, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue would be the perfect addition of freshness to your day.

Layering for longevity
Layering your perfume with complementary products, such as body splashes or body lotions, is one of the best ways to make your scent last longer during hot weather. This will boost the fragrance’s scent and provide a longer-lasting essence throughout the day.
Begin by using a scented body lotion with an identical or similar fragrance profile to your favorite perfume. Apply the lotion to your pulse points before you spray your perfume. This simple technique keeps the scent in place and helps its longevity, even on hot and humid days.
We offer, at Shop and Beyond, a vast variety of body lotions, sprays, and splashes to match your favorite fragrances. For example, putting together your Chloe Eau de Parfum with the same Chloe body lotion can ensure its long-lasting effect.

Try something new
Summer is an ideal time to try new fragrances. If you have been wearing heavy, intense perfumes throughout the winter, now is the right time to go for lighter ones. Aim for eau de toilette or eau de cologne, which have less concentration and offer a lighter, refreshing fragrance that is perfect for summer days.
Shop and Beyond retails various eau de toilette and lighter scents suitable for warmer months. Some of those worth considering:
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette is ideal for spring use. Its floral, fresh fragrance features wild strawberry, violet, and jasmine notes.
For those who seek something classy yet light, Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum is the perfect choice. It features a blend of sweet, floral, and fruity notes.
