A perfume for every season

Although the choice of a perfume is emotional and depends largely on our mood, it is true that the area in which we live and its climate end up being an important factor that helps us decide. That is why it is inevitable that with the arrival of the different seasons we also change our perfume, just as it happens with our wardrobe. Let's analyse what type of scent or ingredient best suits each season.

This is the time of year when the days begin to lengthen, there is more light and everything around us blooms. The mood seems to be calling us to fill everything with flowers and colour, so floral fragrances are usually king. The variety of options is almost infinite: roses, muguet, jasmine, lily, violet… Spring invites us to dare with fresh perfumes rich in green and floral notes.

With the rising temperatures and the sun's rays, flowers are transformed into fruit, including citrus fruits such as bergamot, yuzu, mandarin or caviar lime. Their scent combines with the salt of the sea in refreshing perfumes with a myriad of combinations ranging from exotic (passion fruit or cocktail scents) to floral (with white flowers that leave a sensual scent on the skin).

Fragrances tend to be lighter and often in formats with a lower percentage of perfume, even water-based, such as mist, to refresh us with a pleasant aroma.

Spices are usually the ingredients associated with autumn, when temperatures gradually drop, inviting us to opt for warmer fragrances. Some of the most common ingredients are cardamom, ginger or pink pepper, which are fresh spices, as opposed to cinnamon, cloves and cumin, with a warmer touch. Perfumes rich in woody notes (sandalwood, cedar, guaiac wood) and musk abound. It is a season of transition, where once again nature and food mark the combinations of ingredients and our preferences when it comes to perfumes.

The cold weather is definitely here and with it comes the most intense fragrances. The formulas are endless, from oriental fragrances (vanilla, balsams, incense, myrrh) and amber, to others woody and warm or with sweet notes of ginger. Winter is a season that invites you to experiment with perfumes, to combine them through layering and to let the scents envelop you like a cashmere jumper or a big scarf.
