Is There Truly a Season for Scents?

Do Fragrances Reflect the Seasons? How do they Shift on Our Skin?

Ever noticed how the same perfume might not smell exactly the same throughout the year?

It’s intriguing, but all fragrance molecules require some warmth, typically from our skin, to become active. Both the temperature of your skin and the environment can dramatically influence how a perfume evaporates and how it’s perceived.

It’s no wonder then that many of us gravitate towards airy, vibrant fragrances during hotter months and transition to warmer, comforting scents as the mercury drops. But does it mean that, say, citrusy or refreshing fragrances are strictly summer material?

When opting for a perfume, considering the climate can be beneficial, not just for the trial but also for when you plan to predominantly wear it. Why? Because our perception and a fragrance’s performance shift with temperature changes.

For instance, the warmth of summer can amplify fragrance notes, making them bloom on the skin more rapidly. Conversely, the chill of winter slows down this evaporation, elongating the life of top and heart notes.

Beyond longevity and projection, sometimes it’s about the moods certain scents evoke. Just as a woolly jumper feels out of place on a sunny beach, a fragrance reminiscent of snuggly winter nights can feel odd on a warm day.

However, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Some cultures and individuals love to embrace contrasting scents – wearing a rich, woody fragrance during summer or a crisp cologne in winter. Indeed, the suitability of a fragrance for a season often depends on a mix of temperature, humidity, and individual preference.
