Look for perfumes with fresh, light, and uplifting notes such as citrus, florals, or aquatic accords. These are ideal for warm weather and tend to feel invigorating and airy.

2. Longevity and Sillage

Summer scents should be noticeable but not overpowering. Choose a perfume with moderate longevity and sillage so it wears comfortably throughout hot days without overwhelming the senses.
