I know that us Brits have a reputation for always talking about the weather but, sue me, the recent heatwave that we’ve been experiencing has felt nothing short of relentless. I’m not the kind of person that thrives in hot temperatures at the best of times, but throw in stifling tube journeys, school runs in the blazing sunshine, and a terraced house with bricks that seem to heat up like a pizza oven and I have been well and truly struggling. Yet in spite of the 30-degree temperatures, something totally unexpected happened when I was picking my son up from school last week: I was stopped mid-rush by a fellow parent who told me I smelled amazing. Not just fresh or clean mind you, but so good that she wanted to know what fragrance I was wearing immediately. And the truth is, I wasn’t just wearing one great perfume, but a whole army of amazing-smelling products. Call it my summer scent strategy if you will, but if you’re wondering how to smell good in a heatwave then you're in the right place.
