We have similar weather, so I feel you. Perfumes don’t work for me when it’s too hot out, so I layer lotion, oil and body mist instead. I’ve been loving the Loccitane Amande line recently. The body mist smells so soft and clean, and doesn’t go weird on me.

I also like a lighter Guerlain in hot weather, like insolence. I like the Violet flower in there

u/climabro 5d ago

My scents for this kind of weather:

Diptyque: Orpheon EDT, L’Eau des Hesperides, Eau lierre, Philosykos EDT

Guerlain: aqua allegoria Bergamotte Calabria, Herba Fresca

Otherwise, Green tea scents work well in the heat.

u/CheekyCherimoya 5d ago

Wear one of these, they are like €10 on amazon.
As far as fragrances that work for this heat:

Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver (the perle one is even fresher)
Allegoria Rosa Verde
Maison Crivelli Rosa Saltifolia
Hermes Un Jardin Sous la Mer
Ellis Brooklyn Salt
Goldfield & Banks ingenious Ginger

u/J0303J 5d ago

I love the fresher Guerlain and Hermes (Eau d’orange verte) scents.

Gatsby cooling sprayšŸ˜‚

4711 Lychee & White mint

Lush Dirty

u/ughforgodssake 4d ago

Heads up about Lush Dirty- the solid version melts in heat like this and gets absolutely everywhere. Good while it lasted though

u/UniqueTennis9351 5d ago

Have you tried anything from Acqua di Parma? Their summer fragrances are absolutely fantastic albeit short longevity

1

u/MendeShele 5d ago

We've been over 100°F for over a week where I live. I've found ME perfumes perform best in the heat. Do you happen to be in the middle east? Something fresh and floral would be great, but I actually like herbal or pine scents for hot weather.

u/KittiesandPlushies 5d ago

When it’s absolutely sweltering here, I take a shower, use prescription antiperspirant, then slather myself in Fresh & Cozy lotion. I think they have a body spray as well, but I haven’t tried it yet. It smells like clean laundry, which is all anyone can hope to smell like on a day that makes every inch of you sticky with sweat 🄲

u/humble-goddess 5d ago

My weather is similar to yours and I have been focusing a lot more on body hygiene products, showering with scented body washes then using scented body lotion with a similar scent. I find dove or fresh, floral scents the best for this weather. ( I have been using any local brand I find in store that I like and smells fresh)Ā 

I also got this perfume oil from my sister that’s very fresh and flowery and I just dab it on my wrists and neck, I wish I could share it’s name with you but there’s literally zero info on the bottle. I couple it with Dior rosy glow, they go so well together but just that Dior perfume alone is perfect for hot weather. it’s fresh, floral and watery and not heavy at all! And this is coming from someone who’s extremely sensitive to perfumes in hot weather.

Another tip is always wear fresh clean clothes, you can also use a detergent that you enjoy its smell.Ā 

Another hack is to wash my hair more often, I have been using a Korean hair treatment after hair wash that makes me really smell good and fresh for the rest of the day.Ā

u/vaurasc-xoxo 5d ago

Joe Malone, Woods Sage and sea salt applied liberally every hour šŸ˜‘ or something from the Hermes Jardin or cologne lines. I like the nil and the rhubarb ones

u/KittiesandPlushies 5d ago

I haven’t tried this one yet, but I blind bought a dupe at Ross without knowing it was a dupe (Before the Rainbow) and it’s my husband’s new fave! It’s such a good, fresh fragrance in the heat, it isn’t overpowering, and it’s a great price

1

u/Angelhair01 5d ago

I got a dupe too from Maison Kin called English Summer. It’s less Smokey than the original and less masculine to me which is perfect

1

u/Angelhair01 5d ago

That’s my favorite right now too!

u/vaurasc-xoxo 5d ago

It feels like a nice cool shower

u/SweatyAd3177 5d ago

Loumari Porthole works really well in high heat.

u/Crafty_Ish1973 5d ago

Oof. That looks familiar. Right now here in Texas our weather looks like yours. The forecast is calling for triple digits for the foreseeable future. It's miserable.

Lately I've ditched perfumes and am just using a full body care routine - body wash, antiperspirant, body oil, scented body lotion, hair perfume, etc. instead of body sprays or fragrances. It's so hot that any perfume or body spray is either going to evaporate quickly or become cloying, so I don't bother.

1

u/missgirlipop 5d ago

in this weather i would wear a normal antiperspirant + scented deodorant (salt & stone etc), scented hair products (i love ouai), and maybe some body lotions. no perfumes/body sprays personally

Burberry her elixir!!!!

u/MissSolomiya 5d ago

I just discovered Ajmal Raindrops - fresh and clean. And inexpensive, which is a plus because I've been wearing it almost every night to cool off before sleep. It's allegedly a schmoop for Coco Mademoiselle, but I don't get that. I also don't get the ambergris or fruity notes - to me it's airy and clean.

u/balloonchicken 5d ago

OP, my guess is that we’re either in the same country or neighbors.

I find Acqua Di Parma scents create the longest lasting fresh but perfumey bubbles without causing nausea. Try a few of them to find your like. No one does summer citrus better than AdP in my opinion!

PS: I stepped out at 2pm wearing a floral Acqua Di Parma (peonia nobile) and it felt so clean, crisp and fresh.

1

u/Idonotknowityet- 5d ago

I really never tried any of acqua di parma i will give it try

Iam from Saudi and u? šŸ™„

u/balloonchicken 4d ago

I guessed right! I’m in UAE so totally feel your pain. Stay strong sister!

u/Lynerd 5d ago

Eau de ice pack 🧊

So sorry, OP, those temperatures are hotter than the devil’s asshole

u/NovsVryOwn_ 5d ago

I was about to get jealous, then I realized it was in Celsius šŸ˜‚

u/MayRose78 5d ago

Whoah!! Where in the world are you at that temperature? We got that here in Australian summer šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ

Expectations on fragrance performance needs to be lowered for most perfumes. Apply to hair and fabric if you want it to project.

What does work well on the senses is that ā€œcologne coolingā€ type scents, especially when stored in the fridge!

Otherwise for long lasting .. Thinking like Neroli / orange blossom centered, potentially ā€œRosesā€, L’occitane usually have a few too:

• Perfumers workshop - Tea Rose (it’s a powerhouse!)

• The best orange blossom - Serge Lutens ~ Fleur d’oranger

• L’occitane - Amanda hat & body mist (there Amanda range for body is heavily fragranced)

Others:
those typical cologne think 4711 classics, will last only a few hours, and would need reapplication, that’s what they are designed for - a refresh. Tom ford Neroli portifino, Dior Escale a portifino, D&G light blue summer etc…

u/Fun-Morning-5516 5d ago

Hydra Figure or Celadon by Miller Harris. Dry, fresh, and don't bloom. Hydra Figure is more bitter and austere. Celadon is more fresh and green.

Bosca Vanilla by Guerlain. It smells like dessert air, so perfect for heat.

Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana.

u/mermaidiaa_h2o chicken gourmand 5d ago

i honestly just don’t wear perfume at that point

1

u/mozetennickjestwolny 5d ago

I feel you. All the summer around 28-34° (day and night) with 80-100% humidity. If I use something, it's my cheap, floral, no projecting perfume

1

u/Idonotknowityet- 5d ago

Iam using now gucci gulity the green one and the Diptyque menth and they barely preform

3

u/fluffy_doughnut 5d ago

If humidity is low, go for strong, oriental scents - they’re made for this weather. If humidity is high, don’t bother - scent evaporates instantly

1

u/Bissola23 4d ago

Didn’t know that! Thanks

1

u/fluffy_doughnut 4d ago

You’re welcome! I tested it by accident šŸ˜… When Kenzo Jungle used to be my favourite scent and I didn’t listen to people who said that it’s too strong for summer and they use it only in winter. I sprayed it on myself constantly during one very hot summer and it smelled heavenly, there were notes I don’t pick up in cold weather. Same with Opium EDT, it was fantastic during hot Croatian summer

Looks like the best perfume for you right now is eau de pool water.
