The seasons pass and are never the same. Each new solstice brings its share of new desires, changes of outfits, and atmosphere. If spring easily lends itself to pastel colors, and summer to bright colors, autumn and winter are more suited to sober colors. And the same goes for fragrances!
Like your wardrobe, why not change your perfume according to the seasons? But how do you know which scents are best suited for each season? We'll tell you all about it in this article!
Which fragrance to pair with autumn?
In mid-September, trees adorn themselves with flamboyant colors before gradually losing their leaves. The temperature cools down, and hot drinks make a comeback. Pumpkins and spices return to the forefront; we gradually forget fruit salads and fine sandy beaches...
Autumn is an invitation to stroll through the woods, forage for mushrooms, and rediscover the pleasure and comfort of indoor activities.
For many perfumers, this season rhymes with a slightly spicy scent, much like the season's signature beverages. Think of pumpkin spice latte and its cinnamon aromas, for example!
Warm perfumes also have their share of success for their comforting, warm, sometimes even gourmand character. Who hasn't felt better with a good cup of hot chocolate in their hands?
Autumn is therefore the ideal season for slightly spicy, woody, gourmand, and comforting perfumes.
It's the perfect opportunity to try a new form of perfume: solid perfume. We're particularly fond of Santal, whose sweet woody scent is enhanced by notes of cardamom and papyrus.
And if you're feeling adventurous, you can also apply it in layers: this is the concept of mix & match, which involves blending solid perfume and eau de parfum to obtain unique notes and a scent trail that is 100% you.
Which perfumes to favor in winter?
Winter is the season for blankets, snowy walks, crackling fires, and indulgent drinks. A white veil covers the landscapes, cities take on a hushed atmosphere and the excitement of Christmas.
During this magical season, we tend to choose warm notes and gourmand aromas that comfort us and warm our hearts. We then turn to oriental perfumes, savoring the scents of amber, musk, Tonka bean, vanilla, and cinnamon. These warm perfumes counterbalance the winter cold and bring a little warmth to your outfit.
Whether worn or placed under the tree, we recommend Rosca Amettla, a perfume that is both sweet and spicy, blending notes of orange, almond, cinnamon, orange blossom, and Tonka bean. And for even more indulgence, don't hesitate to match it with the solid Vanilla perfume!
One last tip: in winter, don't hesitate to spray your perfume on your jackets and scarves. The scent will last even longer and diffuse with every movement.
What are the best perfumes for spring?
Spring, the season of renewal. Temperatures slowly warm up under a shy sun, plants gently break through their blanket of earth to emerge and form the first buds of the season, insects gradually resume their pollination work...
This season lends itself wonderfully to floral notes and light scents. Fruity perfumes bring a touch of sweetness to your daily life and herald the renewal of this beautiful time of year.
Nolença pays tribute to its favorite season with a luminous and delicate perfume. Et Si Ce Matin... opens up possibilities. It is an ode to the first beautiful days of the year and the spring scents that bring a smile to our faces. It's a boost of joy that revitalizes us with its delicate composition. Citrus, orange blossom, patchouli, and white musk blend to offer you this unique olfactory experience, something fresh.
Which perfumes are recommended for summer?
The sun warming the skin, longer days, slightly cooler nights spent sipping fruity cocktails on the terrace... With or without white sandy beaches, summer is the ideal season for reconnecting, discovering, or traveling.
This is the time to highlight citrus, marine, sweet, and exotic notes. We let our desires for freshness speak, we succumb to fruity notes, we want an intense juice, a sensual scent to accompany us until the end of the night.
Perfumers therefore favor the tangy scents of citrus, lavender, jasmine, and orange blossom. Scents that remind us of summer, sunscreen, and ideal temperatures.
It's time to mark your personality with a fragrance of character, a floral and sensual eau de parfum that also falls within the oriental category. For the occasion, Nolença created Swing Feather in the eau de parfum range. The delicate notes of cumin evoke the warmth of summer days, while jasmine and violet bring a floral touch and a spirit of freedom.
And if you prefer solid perfumes to eaux de parfum for this warm season, we recommend the Orange Blossom solid perfume, which is both fresh and refreshing with its notes of neroli and petitgrain!
Why change perfume according to the seasons?
In perfumery, changing seasons is like changing outfits. We associate our perfumes with occasions, so why not with seasons? This way, we create an atmosphere that will follow us until the next solstice, one that matches the weather and the desires of the moment. Ultimately, choosing your perfume is like choosing what outfit you're going to wear!
For a moment, the perfumer slips into the shoes of a chef and composes with the ingredients of the moment, which he then transforms into a trend to follow. He marries aromas to tantalize your senses and make your olfactory signature match the time of year you wear it.
And that's the beauty of perfumery: choosing the right ingredients to reflect the cold of winter, the softness of spring, or the comfort of autumn. It's about finding the perfect balance, one that will make you fall in love and enhance you no matter the time of year.
