Smell Wild, Even When It’s Hot: Summer Perfume Tricks

When summer turns up the heat, even the most prepared men can find it difficult to maintain freshness. Therefore, a good men's perfume that is applied the right way becomes a non-negotiable for summer. In this blog, we share some practical hacks for making sure your perfume for men outlasts the harsh heat and humidity of a long summer day. 

Keep it Light to Keep it Fresh 

Heavy and overpowering fragrances in summer are a complete no-go. Citrus, aquatic, and green notes are your best bet for feeling refreshed throughout the day. Men's perfumes with notes of lemon, bergamot, or sea breeze are great at masking sweat odour. 

Timing is a Game Changer 

Even the best perfume for men can fall flat if not applied correctly. Apply it to well-hydrated skin to maximize your perfume's longevity. Post-shower is the best time to use your perfume because your pores are clean and open. To maximize it even more, you can moisturize and apply your perfume.  

Strategic Application is Key  

Another essential thing that elevates the longevity of perfume for men is where you apply it. Focusing on pulse points is necessary. Target wrists, neck, and behind the ears, as these areas emit heat, which helps to diffuse and amplify the fragrance. At the end of a long day, you'll observe that your men's perfume is still lingering on these points.

Layering for the Win 

Keeping your fragrance alive for the whole day isn't just dependent on which perfume you are using; rather, it is a combination of things. One of the things that adds to the longevity of your perfume for men is what you layer it with. If you're using shower gel and body lotion from the same fragrance family as your perfume, it will also add to the longevity of your perfume.  

The Cotton Ball Trick 

A secret trick that comes in handy during the hot summer months is spraying your favourite men's perfume on a cotton ball and carrying it with you the whole day. You can keep the ball in your bag or pocket, and it will keep on releasing the scent subtly. This way, you'll not have to get drenched in your perfume to make it last the whole day.

By incorporating these tips, you can ensure that your chosen fragrance remains a subtle yet captivating part of your presence, even during the sweltering Indian summers. For various scents that cater to the modern Indian man, consider exploring Wild Stone's collection of men's perfumes.
