Perfumes and Seasons: Why does your fragrance change with the climate?
Discover how temperature influences the performance and longevity of your favorite essences.
Have you ever wondered why that perfume you loved in winter seems suffocating in summer? Or why a fresh fragrance disappears after a few minutes in the cold? The answer lies in the volatility of molecules.
Summer: Lightness and Volatility
Heat accelerates evaporation. In summer, citrus and marine notes shine but fade quickly. It's time to choose lighter concentrations or reapply perfume throughout the day.
Winter: Intensity and Warmth
Cold "freezes" the notes. This is why in winter we need solid bases like amber, spices, and woods. These heavy notes need time to warm up on the skin and release their enveloping trail.
