The skies are blue and the SPFs are out in full force, but no day in the sun would be complete without a summer perfume. Whether you’re team coconut or firmly in camp citrus, a good seasonal perfume can brighten your whole day. Of course, perfumes aren’t the cheapest outlay in your beauty routine, so if you’re going to invest, it’s got to be the right one.
Knowing your fragrance families is a good place to start, so you can eliminate those that aren’t your cup of tea before browsing. In all honesty, there are too many groups to list, but the key players include sweet, citrus, floral, fresh, spicy and woody. Though there are exceptions, perfumes with spicy and woody accords tend to come into their own in the colder months, so you can cross those off straight away.
