Summer or winter perfume: the ultimate guide to choosing the perfect fragrance according to the season

The art of perfume, a question of season? Oh yes! Just as we swap our sandals for boots when the cold sets in, our perfumes also deserve a seasonal wardrobe. Why? Because our skin, our mood and the energy of each season influence the way a fragrance expresses itself. So, how to choose your summer or winter perfume without making a mistake? We explain everything to you!


Summer fragrance: freshness is king!

In summer, the heat makes the scents of a perfume rise more quickly. So it's not the time to bring out the big vanilla orcas or the heady patchoulis, unless you want to overshadow the aperitif!

Choose light and refreshing notes, such as:

  • Citrus fruits : lemon, bergamot, grapefruit… Pure freshness.

  • Aquatic notes : imagine a sea breeze… a dream under the sun.

  • Bright flowers : jasmine, orange blossom, lily of the valley, for a touch of light elegance.

  • Juicy fruits : mango, peach or melon for a tropical vibe.

⚡ Pro tip: Eau de toilette or eau de cologne are perfect in summer. Lighter than eau de parfum, they offer a subtle freshness that won't suffocate you under the sun.


Winter fragrance: warmth and sensuality in the spotlight!

Winter calls for cocooning, and that goes for perfumes too. The cold slows down the evaporation of notes, allowing richer compositions to fully express themselves. It's the perfect season to bring out the big (but refined) artillery:

Prefer warm and enveloping notes, such as:

  • Woody notes : cedar, sandalwood, oud for a sophisticated trail.

  • Spicy : cinnamon, cloves, pepper for an exotic touch.

  • Orientals : vanilla, amber, benzoin for a sensual and comforting effect.

  • The gourmands : chocolate, caramel, almond for an irresistible sweetness.

⚡ Pro tip: Eau de parfum or even perfume extracts are ideal for winter. Their higher concentration allows them to last longer on the skin, even under several layers of sweaters.


Are seasons an absolute rule?

Not necessarily… At the end of the day, your perfume is a matter of taste and emotion. If you love wearing a spicy oriental in the middle of summer or a lemony mist in the heart of winter, indulge yourself! The most important thing is that your perfume tells your story and reflects your personality.

At Unomismo Parfums , we firmly believe that each season has its ideal emotion and fragrance. Our unique creations are designed to enhance your moments, no matter the weather.


Bonus tip: layering!

Are you hesitating between two seasons? Try layering . A woody base and a touch of citrus, or a vanilla subtly twisted with a fresh fruit, and there you have it! The idea is to create a unique signature that suits you, no matter what the weather is like outside.


In short, adapting your perfume to the season is a bit like matching your outfit to the weather: a question of comfort, but also of style. So, are you ready to reinvent your olfactory wardrobe throughout the seasons? Summer perfume or winter perfume, every moment has its fragrance… and it’s just waiting for you.
