Best Perfumes For Summer 2011

Light and fresh, perfumes with floral, fruity or tropical flavor are perfect for hot summer days. It's time to choose a new fragrance that will be your favorite accessory this summer.

Every fragrance still has three sets of "notes". Top notes are the ones that we first experience, right after you apply the perfume, and they do not stay long. These notes give you a first impression of a perfume. Then there are middle notes or "heart" that occurs after the top notes evaporate, and the base notes which can be felt for hours after applying the perfume.

Now that we saw the basics of perfume, let's start with the recommendations for this summer. Everybody knows that most cosmetic companies launch a special limited edition of fragrance for hot summer days. And here's the best for this summer ...

Types of Perfume

Spring is a time of awakening and new life. Inhale its scent to the fullest!

Although we say for all types of scents that they are "perfumes", a real perfume is very different from the toilet water, you'll feel on your nose, but also on your wallet. Eau de toilette contains from five to ten percent of perfume extract (concentrated smell), Eau de Parfum contains ten to 20 percent of the extract, while the real perfume in the full sense of the word contains up to 30 percent of perfume extract.

Scents vary depending on the season and occasion, but one thing is certain: you can always wear it, even in bed (just remember that Marilyn Monroe wore Chanel No 5 only in bed).

What are different types of perfume?

Floral perfumes

"This biggest group includes different variants with a floral composition: fresh cut flowers, flowers with water, green or powdery hues and floral-aldehyde, floral and fruit and gourmet compositions," writes New Fragrances.

Women will accept these fragrances more than men, so most of the floral fragrance is for women. It exudes femininity, and strength.

Choose The Right Perfume

Avoid situations where you give a lot of money for perfume for which you will later realize that you don't like or doesn't match your skin. It doesn't mean that the perfume you liked on another person will have the same smell on your skin. Be sure to try the fragrance.


It is best to buy perfumes in the morning because you have much sharper sense of smell. When you go shopping for perfume, don't put on perfume at home. That way you'll be able to experience the real scent of perfume you try. Do not smell the fragrance with cardboard because it will not smell like it does on you. Try perfumes on the wrist. After the third perfume you can't smell the next because all the scents will mix. Testing to much perfume is pointless. Don't immediately buy the perfume. Try it the next day to make sure that you like it because scents can mix if you have already tried some. Perfumes should not be tried on immediately after a meal and during menstruation.

In addition to choosing perfumes by whether you like the smell, pay attention for which time of the day you buy it. Day perfumes have with light notes like fruity. For evening choose oriental, heavier scents that are mainly composed of musk. They can also be distinguished by color, day fragrances are generally in lighter colors, flower fragrances are often pink. Evening perfumes are dark blue or brown. Transparent perfumes often smell "fresh".
