About Men's Summer Fragrances
What fragrance you choose to wear can be a direct reflection of your personality. Fragrance can be a fun way to make a statement. For warmer months, choose a lighter scent than the one you wear for winter or fall. Summer fragrances are not heavy and are refreshing and bright. For men, they often contain fruity or woody scents. Additionally, botanical and herbal scents work well for summer.
Many summer fragrances come in a splash rather than a cologne. This makes for a great pick me up anytime you need a lift. Just add a refreshing splash of fragrance whenever you need a little extra boost.
Popular Scent Notes
There are many popular notes found in summer fragrances for men. Many use a unique combination of ingredients to create a one-of-a-kind scent. It is common to find similar notes in many of the summer fragrances. It is the way that they are used with other ingredients that determine the final product. Some summer notes that are used in men's fragrances include:
- Citrus
- Cedar
- Sandalwood
- Musk
Many of these notes will remind you of the ocean, beach and the outdoors. Summer scents are designed to be reflective of the season and will often remind you of things that are enjoyed during the summertime.
Summer days lend themselves well to sporty, active scents, while evening choices might be a bit more rich or musky. Something that is slightly more spicy, but not too heavy, will be a good evening option.

Fragrance Tips
Since the weather is warmer in summer and you tend to sweat more, go easy on the fragrance. Apply it lighter than you would during the winter months. A less concentrated form of fragrance is a body splash which is a great option that you can spray on from head to toe. Try layering your fragrance by using a body wash and deodorant in the same scent. Remember to have fun with fragrance, choose one that will remind you of everything you love about summer and enjoy wearing it proudly.
