Monsoon or rainy seasons are a much-awaited time, after the hot summers. It brings relief and perks up the mood. However, there are various phases of the monsoon. While the advent of monsoon can be very bright, cheerful, and romantic, constant rain can bring gloominess and dullness in our mood after some days. Do you know fragrances or perfumes are a perfect mood lifter? Then why not invest in some good scents for the monsoons?
1. Check if it can fight body odour: Monsoon is a time where we are most likely to get the unpleasant phenomena of body odour. Due to the excess humidity, there can be excessive sweating. Also, the increased growth of bacteria may give rise to foul body smell. We need to pick up fragrances that have zesty notes that can combat body odour. Certain aromas are formulated specially to fight body odour.
2. Mood Uplifting Notes: As already discussed, continuous rain can bring excessive boredom and a feeling of melancholia. A subtle touch of warmth with freshness can get that quick mood perk. Oriental notes are very comforting for these times. It gives a pleasant feeling of warmth and much-needed cosiness.
3. Higher Concentration of Perfume: This is something we often overlook. Do you know, the higher the concentration of actual perfume, the higher is its price. A higher concentration of perfume essence can be found in Eau de Parfums, followed by Eau de toilettes and the least in Deodorants. That is why the price also differs. Perfumes with 15% or more concentration of essence are the ones that are likely to stay for a long time, spreading a more prominent fragrance.
4. Fresh notes work best:Zesty, floral, light spicy are the new form of notes, and these are the ones that go perfectly with the rainy seasons. We need to pick up something that has the power to brighten up or cheer up the gloominess around.
5. Experiment with Oil Perfumes: Oil-based perfumes do not evaporate fast, unlike Alcohol-based ones. Just for the monsoons, we can get a lovely oil-based scent that will stick to the skin, staying for a longer time.
