What Are Seasonal Perfumes?
Seasonal perfumes are fragrance profiles selected or designed to align with specific times of the year. As temperatures and atmospheres change, so do the scent families that feel most comfortable and expressive. Cooler months often welcome deeper, richer notes like amber, spice and woods, while warmer months shine with citrus, green, aquatic and light floral compositions.

Fragrances are safe for typical cosmetic use, but those with sensitive skin should patch-test new scents. Avoid applying perfume on broken or freshly shaved skin. If irritation occurs, consider applying the scent to clothing instead of skin and use lighter application.
