While we stan having a signature scent and leaning on it just like your 3AM friend, investing in a couple more doesn’t hurt. We are talking about days when your mood swings from fresh Friday evening to grumpy Monday morning blues! Now that the weather is changing and mercury is rising, it’s ideal to shift to cooler notes and take a short break from leathery, woody scents. 

Perfumes with citrus, sweet, floral notes can be your pick for summers– think of being transported to a beach destination where you can hear waves crashing on the shore and feel sand on your toes. If you are someone who enjoys wearing intense notes or the one who doesn’t mind experimenting, we have an elaborative list of scents that can be a part of your summer shelf. 

Ex Nihlo Chandigarh Express 

Talking to men who find it tough to transition from intense to sweet-smelling scents, here’s a solution. This luxury pick is one for the shelf with floral olfactory, but leather and patchouli notes at heart and base. It’s modern but with traditional roots; with an exotic blend of jasmine, cardamon and vetiver, it’s the prefect summer pick. 

Guess Uomo Acqua EDT 

Calmness of ocean or wild spirit–if you pick both as your personality trait, the chances are you’ll love wearing Uomo Acqua by Guess. Its notes of lemon, juniper and sandalwood talk to the men who fierce, free-spirited, and enjoy life to the fullest. Did I just describe you?
