In the market for a signature summer fragrance? Here\u2019s our guide. Firstly, when out on the search don\u2019t spritz before you hit the stores. Your skin needs to remain odour-neutral to accurately test those new fragrances. \u201cSmelling the perfume on paper after the alcohol has evaporated is the only sane way to test a fragrance. Spray a few scents on blotter cards, taking note of the names, and smell them away from the alcohol-heavy air of the perfumery,\u201d explains Roja Dove, world-renowned fragrance specialist and perfumer. Now wait. Hold off for 30 minutes until making a decision on which are your favourites.<\/p>\n
This time delay is necessary to see how the fragrance evaporates and evolves into the heart and base notes once applied. Next, go back to the shop and apply the fragrances you selected one by one to your skin to see how they combine with your natural pheromones (those chemicals emitted by the skin that affect how a perfume will smell on you \u2013 and whether your crush will fancy you too). As for where to put them? \u201cThe back of your hand and the wrist are ideal,\u201d says Will Andrews, director and technical expert of fragrance communication at Coty. And don\u2019t worry about \u2018breaking\u2019 fragrance molecules by rubbing your wrists together. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible,\u201d says Andrews. \u201cThe worst it can do is warm it up and make it develop into the heart note more quickly, as it would in a hotter climate.\u201d Turns out it\u2019s a pretty good thing to do. \u2028Right, now you know what to look for and how to look for it. Here are a couple of our summer favourties.<\/p>\n
