Heatwave perfume?

42 replies

MummaMiaWhatHaveIDone · Yesterday 07:03

Which heatwave perfumes are you wearing? I normally go for aquatic like Replica's or Molecule 02 but I'm wondering if I should skip perfume all together? I put 2 to 3 sprays. I'm just getting dressed for the day and wondering if it would be fine or rude to put perfume as I'll be on public transport in this hot weather. What do you think?

Cavalli Serpentine- light aquatic mango blossom
Or a Caudelie one- Sol Fraiche or something. Smells like the beach.
Perfume behaves totally differently in heat- I always vary mine according to season.

I love Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. Old fashioned but so fresh, citrusy and lovely.

Also love how you completely ignored the bellend that made that first, sour comment. I reckon their scent would be "Mala Leche"!

I'm wearing Jo Malone French lime blossom today.

The summer scents I like are both from the brands you mention. When the rain stops by Replica MM. And Molecule 01 + mandarin

Next Summer Sun to smell like sun cream and pina coladas.

I also like Yardley English Lavender or the OG 4711, though, so basically only listen to me if you’re happy to smell like an old lady 🤷🏻‍♀️

My favourite is Aerin Lauder Mediterranean Honeysuckle. I bought it for a holiday and it evokes holidays on a hot day here.

Actual lol at ‘heatwave perfume’ 😂

I tend to wear Eau Dynamisante when it’s warm as it’s lovely and cooling and light.

A nice cheapy for hot weather is Elizabeth Arden green tea. I keep a bottle in the fridge for a cooling spritz.

This. Bought a bottle at the airport on the way to Italy as it was on special offer. It’s been 26-28 degrees and was lovely and refreshing. Got several compliments on it too.

Nivea sun is gorgeous I’ve just discovered it for this summer, it smells like holidays!

No perfume is going to make it through the scent of the actual Nivea sun lotion I douse myself in during a heatwave.

I do love to wear the Nivea sun perfume sometimes in winter to remind me of holidays!
