The sun has started to shine bright on the shores of the UAE. Our lifestyle is about to shift as we say goodbye to cool and breezy winter nights.
As our leather jackets make way for breezy linen Hawaiian shirts, it’s also time to refresh the fragrance wardrobe. Perfumes can be tailored to the season just like our clothes. Offering a delightful harmony with the changing weather.
At Ahmed Perfumes, we understand the importance of feeling confident and smelling incredible all year round. So, ditch the heavy scents of winter and embrace the vibrant energy of summer with these tips to curate your perfect summer perfume palette.
Choosing a Perfect Perfume For The Season
Getting a new perfume can be overwhelming. Of course, we have to look at what’s trending. However, personal preference comes first. More than anything, we should prioritize what we need.
Imagine picking up a perfume that you are not confident wearing or something that doesn’t match your personality. Worst thing ever?
First, look ahead and ask yourself, what are my plans for the season?
Are you planning for a summer break in a new city? Or looking to chase the sun across the world? Or just want to enjoy sunbathing on Dubai’s beaches? Whatever you need, there is a scent for you.
When moving from spring to summer, we should consider a balanced fragrance that blends the best of both worlds into one. There’s no point hanging on to your winter warm and oud sensation. It might get too overwhelming for the crowd.
That is the reason it is important to understand the blends of summer. Expert perfumers at Ahmed Perfumes have brought the perfect ingredients and blends to try this summer.
Understanding Summer Scents
Summer is all about feeling light, fresh, and invigorated. Perfumes that are too strong can become cloying in the hot weather. So, we want to focus on fragrances that are light and airy. These tend to be dominated by specific notes that evoke the feeling of summer:
Citrus: Think zesty lemons, grapefruits, and bergamots. These notes are invigorating and energizing. Perfect for beating the heat.
Aqua: Aquatic notes like cucumber, melon, and ocean accords create a sense of freshness and coolness.
Floral: Light florals like jasmine, lavender, and honeysuckle add a touch of sweetness and elegance without being overpowering.
Herbal: Think aromatic herbs like rosemary, mint, and basil. These notes offer a refreshing and invigorating lift.
Pro Tip: When shopping for summer scents, look for perfumes described as eau de toilette. These have a lower concentration of perfume oil compared to Parfum or Eau de parfum, making them lighter and ideal for warmer weather.
Choosing the Right Summer Perfume
Now that you understand the types of notes to look for, let’s explore how to choose the perfect summer perfume for you:
Consider Your Personality: Are you a beach bum craving a tropical escape? Or perhaps a city dweller looking for a touch of sophistication? Your personality plays a big role in picking a scent that resonates with you.
For the Adventurous Soul: Look for perfumes with citrus and aquatic notes that evoke a sense of exploration. Like a day spent sailing or island hopping. Think invigorating blends of grapefruit, sea salt, and a hint of ginger.
For the Sophisticated City Dweller: Opt for lighter floral scents with a touch of musk or wood for a touch of elegance. Imagine a blend of white jasmine, crisp cucumber, and a hint of sandalwood.
Match Your Activities: Your summer days might be filled with outdoor adventures, work meetings, or romantic evenings. Choose a perfume that complements your activities.
For Daytime Wear: Lighter citrus and herbal scents are perfect for daytime wear. Especially if you’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors. They won’t overpower your senses or those around you.
For Special Occasions: For a summer evening out, explore perfumes with a touch more depth. A light floral scent with a musky base can add a touch of intrigue and sophistication.

Long-Lasting Fragrance Hacks for Men
Scents fade away quickly due to the scorching heat in summer. Especially if you are using alcohol-based fragrances. However, there are some ways you can make your perfume last longer even during the hottest days.
Hydration is Key: Staying hydrated not only benefits your health, but it can also help your perfume last longer. When you’re well-hydrated, your skin retains moisture, which helps the fragrance adhere better.
Post-Shower Application: After showering, pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. This helps to retain some moisture on your skin, creating a better base for your perfume.
Target Your Clothing: Spray a light mist of perfume onto your clothes. Focus on areas like the collar and sleeves. The fabric fibres can help the fragrance last longer than just on your skin.
Always remember, confidence is the best accessory. When you feel good about how you smell, it shows. So, find a summer perfume that makes you feel like the best version of yourself, and embrace the sunny days in the UAE!
