Perfumed waters and dry oils: the ideal fragrances for summer

Your favourite fragrance can wear off quickly and even harm your skin in the intense heat of summer. So, instead, why not choose an alcohol-free fragrance, eau de parfum or a scented dry oil!

Here are a few key criteria to keep in mind when choosing your ideal summer fragrance.

What type of perfume should you choose in summer?

The arrival of summer means adapting your beauty routine and finding the ideal formulas for your oils and perfumed waters:

  • Choose lighter formulas for your fragrances, as well as for your makeup and other beauty-care products.
  • Forget those dense, heavy fragrances; they don't mix well with the heat, the beach and the sun.
  • When possible, avoid wearing perfume, eau de toilette or eau de cologne, because they have a high concentration of essential oils and alcohol (a photosensitizing substance) that can cause skin reactions like redness, blistering or brownish spots that can even be permanent.

There are two main types of fragrances that meet those criteria.

Perfumed waters: fresh, light and invigorating

When summer arrives, trade in your favourite fragrance for an alcohol-free eau de parfum. They’re refreshing, with a delicate, pleasant scent that can be fruity, floral, aquatic or woody—the choice is yours!

Fresh, alcohol-free waters are ideal for the hot sun. You can even use them to perfume your clothes without worrying about stains! On the downside, they don't last as long as fragrances that contain alcohol.

Eaux de parfum or perfumed waters are sold under a variety of names. So, be sure to check the label carefully, because some of these products may contain alcohol, which means they’re a bad choice for a day in the sun.

Which eau de parfum should you choose?

Here are a few fragrant suggestions from our team:

  • Caudalie Fleur de Vigne Fresh Water, featuring energizing notes of grapefruit, mandarin and cedar.
  • Biotherm Milk Body—a tonic fragrance with natural essences of orange, mandarin, bergamot, freesia and cedarwood.
  • Biotherm Vitamin-Infused Eau de Toilette, containing vitamin E, moisturizing agents and natural citrus essences.
  • Clarins Eau Dynamisante—your ally for vitality, freshness and firmness, made with mood-enhancing plant extracts.
  • Tealogy Black Rose Tea Eau de Toilette, featuring fresh, floral and woody notes inspired by the fragrant world of teas.
  • Clarins Eau des Jardins, bursting with essential plant-extract oils and aromatic and phyto-therapeutic properties.
